“Splitting the inheritance. Even if you have to remain single, you should aim to be the wealthiest single woman.”
Jasmine was left speechless.
“Jas, who is Mr. Bucham? He seems to know Serenity’s husband.”
“He’s ‘the’ Mr. Bucham from York Corporation. You can look him up online. But don’t get too close to him. We only went on one blind date, and nothing came of it.”
“Serenity’s husband and Mr. Bucham are colleagues at the same company.”
While driving, Drake remarked, “Now that’s a genuine eligible bachelor. I should tell Mom later; she shouldn’t worry about your marriage.”
“I should prepare myself to care for you if an eligible bachelor like Mr. Bucham isn’t good enough for you.”
Jasmine laughed. “Alright, I have a good feeling about Josh. I’ll take it slow with our friendship.”
Drake thought Josh was a real gem. Jasmine might end up single if even Josh didn’t interest her.
“You should turn down Josh’s dinner invitation. He gets busy with work. Don’t take up his time.”
“He has to eat, even if he’s busy. He’ll still need to eat whether or not I join him. You can’t say I’m wasting his time. Besides, how am I supposed to know him and assess his character if I don’t spend time with him? A man’s true nature often shows among his peers.”
Even though Josh made a positive impression, Drake was determined to prioritize his sister’s happiness.
“He’s as cunning as a fox. You might end up doing his bidding without realizing it. His family is involved in gathering intel. He’s skilled at obtaining information.”
Stunned, Drake asked, “He’s part of that enigmatic Bucham family?”
“Yeah.”
“What a…
It was just a coincidence that I dreamed of mingling with the Buchams. I hope they can guide me through the process.” Jasmine felt uncertain. It was a mistake to have brought her brother along tonight. She couldn’t shake the feeling that he might betray her in order to join the Buchams’ intelligence network.
