Chapter 882
Based on the timing of Josh’s arrival, Jasmine inferred that Zachary had gone to the office.
“What did Elisa say or do when she discovered that Zachary was Mr. York?”
Josh did not immediately send the photos to Zachary after taking them.
Elisa had taken Serenity to the hospital to treat her injury anyway. If Josh were to send the photos right now, Zachary would likely call him back to the office while he went to check on his wife at the hospital.
Selfishly, Josh thought to himself, ‘All I’m asking for is a half-day.’
He wanted to enjoy some alone time with Jasmine before returning to the demands of the office.
Josh felt he must have owed Zachary a great deal in another life because he was currently going above and beyond to repay that debt.
“She blamed Mr. York for deceiving Serenity. However, she didn’t take any action. Mr. York likely didn’t defend himself because he couldn’t talk his way out of the truth.”
Jasmine glanced at Josh. “You wealthy and powerful men could win an Oscar for your acting.”
They had the ability to silence others and keep the deceived in ignorance.
Ordinary people lacked the means to maintain such a façade for long.
“I never lied to you, Jasmine. You didn’t want me to spend time with you as Mr. Bucham, so I’m just an ordinary guy here with you. I’ve kept nothing from you.”
As she opened a box of pastries, Jasmine took a bite and remarked, “You already ran background checks on me. Even if you’re an ordinary guy with me now, you already have all the information you need, so there’s no need to learn more about me.”
Josh felt embarrassed.
That was just his way.
Once he became interested in someone, Josh would leverage his network to uncover everything about them.
He believed he could only emerge victorious by
Going in prepared.
“Any new gossip lately?”
Jasmine reached for another tart after finishing one and slid the box toward Josh, encouraging him to take one.
Josh accepted her offer and grabbed a cake, but he struggled to keep it down. Like Zachary, he wasn’t a fan of sweet treats.
After taking a bite of the cake, Josh discreetly hid it under the table. With a smile, he replied, “Not much. There’s some talk in showbiz about a celebrity’s damaged public image, but I know you’re not interested in that.”
Jasmine wasn’t intrigued by showbiz gossip. She and Serenity typically only learned about viral scandals long after the news had broken.
“Do you have any updates on the head of your household?”
Jasmine was eager to discover if love might strike the head of the Bucham household. What kind of woman could catch the eye of a resourceful man like Julian?
Josh pulled out a napkin, keeping both hands under the table as he wrapped the cake in it before tossing it into the trash can. Acting as if nothing had happened, he wiped his hands and placed them back on the table. “Well, we won’t hear any gossip about Julian unless he shares it himself,” he said.
There was no chance they could get any dirt on Julian unless he leaked it.
Curious, Jasmine remarked, “I wonder what kind of woman would attract Julian.”
Josh murmured, “I’d like to know too.”
Ring, ring, ring…
As Jasmine’s phone rang, she glanced at the caller ID and said, “Keep it quiet. It’s Mother Superior calling.”
