Chapter 634
Married at First Sight
Josh left quite a good impression on Drake. Jasmine suspected Drake would sell her off if the boys kept in touch behind her back.
Josh pulled out his phone with a smile plastered on his face. âThatâs very thoughtful of you, Drake. Letâs exchange numbers. I think we hit it off, Drake. Letâs have dinner sometime.â
Drake happily whipped out his phone and exchanged contacts before saying, âWell, we should get going. Mr. Bucham.â
âSee you. Iâll treat you to dinner next time.â
âSure thing.â
Drake was overjoyed but stopped short following the glare from his sister. He rubbed his nose and got into the car straight away.
Standing there, Josh watched as the siblings took off.
Once afar, Jasmine told her brother off, âDo you know who Josh is? Why did you act all friendly and exchange numbers?â
âI donât care who he is. All that matters is that he was on a blind date Jasmine was speechless. âDo you want me to kick you out of the house?â
you and heâs interested in you.â
âI donât have much, Jas. I only bring home eight thousand dollars a month. I canât take care of you forever, so my best bet is that you find a lifelong meal ticket. That will take the burden off my shoulders.â
Jasmine would have given Drake a kick if he was not driving.
âDid I want you to take care of me, punk? Iâm on a higher income than you.â
âI told Mom that Iâll be responsible for your care if you canât find a man. I asked Mom and Aunt Rachel to stop nagging you about it. Thatâs why Iâm under a lot of pressure.â
Jasmine was moved and amused. âWe have rental income on properties. Is that not enough for my care?â
âThe properties belong to Mom and Dad, not me. But Iâll ask our parents to offer you a share when they start splitting the inheritance. Even if you have to become a spinster, you should become the wealthiest spinster.â
Jasmine was lost for words.
âJas, who is Mr. Bucham? He appears to be acquainted with Serenityâs man.â
âHeâs âtheâ Mr. Bucham of York Corporation. You can look him up online. Anyway, donât get too chummy with him. We only went on one blind date, and nothing progressed after that.
âSerenityâs husband and Mr. Bucham work in the same company. Theyâre colleagues.â
While behind the wheel, Drake commented, âNow thatâs a true eligible bachelor. I should tell Mom later.
She shouldnât fret over your marriage.
âI should prepare myself to take care of you if an eligible bachelor like Mr. Bucham isnât good enough for you.â
Jasmine burst into laughter. âAlright now. I get a good feeling about Josh. Iâll take it easy with the friendship between us.â
Drake believed Josh was a real catch. Jasmine would probably end up a spinster if even Josh was not to her liking.
âYou should refuse Joshâs invitation to dinner. He gets busy at work. Donât take up his time.â
âHe has to eat no matter how busy he gets. He still has to eat even if he doesnât invite me to join him.
You canât say that Iâm taking up his time. Besides, how am I supposed to know him and be the judge of his character if I donât spend some time with him? The worst of men is only revealed among their own kind.â
Although Josh made a good impression, Drake would not be sloppy when it came to his sisterâs happiness.
âHeâs as sly as a fox. Youâll probably end up doing his dirty work without knowing it. His family is involved. in gathering intel. Heâs good at getting information.â
Stunned, Drake asked, âHeâs from that mysterious Bucham family?â
âYeah.â
âWhat a coincidence. I dream about rubbing shoulders with the Buchams. I want them to show me the ropes.â
Jasmine was at a loss.
It was a mistake to bring her brother, along tonight.
She had a feeling that her brother would sell her out to join the Buchamsâ intelligence network.
