Chapter 744
Married at First Sight
Jasmine and Drake looked fairly alike with both having attractive physical appearances. Drake was still young and could pass off as a high school student.
âThat canât be. At first, everyone thought Mr. York might like men but that was false too. He even has a wife now.â
Jasmine whispered, âMaybe itâs because Josh is treating my brother exceptionally well. He basically spoils Drake. Heâs even willing to lend Drake his most beloved sports car. You know there are two things in this world that men will never share-hist car and his wife.
âI just think that, well, Josh has feelings for my brother. Help me ask. If he really swings the other way, I canât let him approach Drake again in the future.â
Serenity was speechless. âWhy havenât you considered that Mr. Bucham carried an ulterior motive? His true target is you.â
Josh wanted to appeal to Drake and get him to help.
For example, if he invited Drake to dinner, Jasmine might follow because she felt worried.
Jasmine was at a loss for words.
Serenity laughed. âYouâve read so many novels yet you canât recognize the tactics. men use to chase after their future wives.â
Jasmine opened her mouth to retort, but she somewhat saw reason in her best friendâs statement.
Ring, ring, ringâ¦
Serenity and Jasmineâs phones rang at the same time.
Serenity answered hers first.
âZachary, Iâm going out now. Iâll reach your company in about ten minutes. Wait for me at the entrance.â
On the other side, Jasmine said to Josh, âSince Iâve accepted your money, donât worry about me not doing my job, Mr. Bucham. With me around today, none of the female employees in your company will be able to lay a hand on you!â
Josh laughed. âHow domineering!â
As expected of the female companion whom he spent a lot of money to coax.
âIâll arrange a driver to pick you up,â Josh said thoughtfully.
âNo need, I asked Drake to send Seren and me over. Heâll pick me up after the dinner is over.â
Josh smiled. âYou never give me an opportunity to perform, Ms. Sox.â
Jasmine laughed. âItâs not nice to trouble you because youâre a very busy man, Mr. Bucham. Seren and I are heading out now. See you later.â
âSure, Iâll wait for you at the entrance.â
Jasmine hummed, hung up the phone, and said to Serenity, âLetâs go, Seren. The boss is urging me.
Letâs go and finish the task early, then collect the balance.â
Serenity laughed. âDidnât he pay you all at once?â
âHe said he was afraid I wouldnât keep my word, so he gave me a deposit first. If I fail, he wants me to return the deposit a hundredfold, but if I fulfill my promise, heâll transfer the balance into my account.â
Serenity felt that Josh was casting a long line to catch a big fish.
Jasmine would take the bait sooner or later.
Now and then while on the way to York Corporation, Jasmine urged her brother,â Speed up, Drake.â
âJas, itâs an after-work rush now in the city. Thereâs a lot of traffic. How am I supposed to speed up? Itâs good enough weâre not stuck in traffic.â
Serenity laughed. âAre you afraid of Mr. Bucham deducting your money if youâre late?â
âI want to hurry there for a chance to catch Mr. York and his wife. Mr. Bucham said. that the CEO will show up tonight with his wife. Mr. York gives a speech every year at the annual dinner.
âWeâll get to see him if we arrive early. Otherwise, Iâm afraid we wonât be able to event see their bodyguards.â
Three months ago, the two best friends followed Rachel Lowe to Wiltspoon Hotel to attend a banquet.
Although they did not see Mr. York himself, they saw the backs of his bodyguards. Each one of them was so tall and bulky that the girls could not catch. a glimpse of Mr. York when he was surrounded by the bodyguards.
Serenity could not help but laugh. âAre you still being nosy about Mr. York? Whatâs there to gossip about? As long as heâs a straight man, itâs natural for him to marry a wife.â
