Normally, she had on light makeup, but at that moment, her face was bare.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMs. Sox, I apologize for keeping you waiting,\u201d Josh said as he arrived.<\/div>\n<div>Jasmine smiled and replied, \u201cI didn\u2019t wait long, Mr. Bucham. Please, take a seat.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Josh sat down across from Jasmine and offered her a rose, but she did not accept it.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMr. Bucham, this flower came from your mouth\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n<div>She didn\u2019t need to elaborate.<\/div>\n<div>Josh understood the implication and responded, \u201cNext time, I\u2019ll buy you a bouquet and present it properly. I won\u2019t bite it again.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIs your mouth so large that you can bite a bouquet of flowers?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Josh replied, \u201cNo\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n<div>He tossed the bitten rose into the trash can beneath the table.<\/div>\n<div>Noticing that Jasmine had already ordered her coffee, Josh signaled to the waitress and requested a cup for himself.<\/div>\n<div>When the waitress brought him his coffee, she lingered for a moment. Josh smiled and informed her, \u201cI\u2019m on a blind date.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>The waitress blushed, wanting to say something but hesitating as she recalled her boss\u2019s instructions. She shyly replied, \u201cI didn\u2019t mean anything by it.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>She was merely trying to confirm if this man was indeed Josh Bucham.<\/div>\n<div>The waitress quickly walked away.<\/div>\n<div>Josh touched his face and said, \u201cIt\u2019s quite a burden that my parents gave me such good looks.\u201d Jasmine laughed and remarked, \u201cYou are indeed very handsome\u2014probably one of the most attractive men I\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWho else is better looking than me?\u201d he asked.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYour colleague, Zachary,\u201d she answered.<\/div>\n<div>Josh suddenly responded bitterly, \u201cPlease don\u2019t compare me to him; it just lowers my self-esteem.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMs. Sox, you don\u2019t have feelings for him, do you?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Jasmine nearly choked on her coffee and coughed a few times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHurriedly, she said, \u2018Mr. Bucham, I don\u2019t have any feelings for your colleague. He\u2019s my best friend\u2019s husband, so he\u2019s off-limits. Besides, your colleague\u2019s stony face isn\u2019t my type.\u2019 She lacked the patience of Serenity to get along with Zachary. Furthermore, even Serenity admitted that Zachary could be too cold at times. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Ms. Sox, I mainly asked because my colleague looks like a Greek god; many girls swoon over him. If he weren\u2019t so cold, he would have countless admirers clinging to him like bubblegum,\u2019 he replied. <\/p>\n<p>Jasmine didn\u2019t inquire much about Zachary, as it was normal for an attractive man like him to attract attention from women. She sensed that Zachary was beginning to warm up to Serenity and treating her better, so she wasn\u2019t worried about another woman taking him away from her friend. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Mr. Bucham, have you ever been in a relationship?\u2019 she asked. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018No, I\u2019m as pure as a blank sheet of paper,\u2019 he answered. <\/p>\n<p>Josh spoke the truth; he had never been in a formal relationship and had only experienced a crush on a girl in his class when he was younger. That was over a decade ago, so it hardly seemed worth mentioning. He didn\u2019t even remember what the girl looked like now. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018I heard from your colleague that you\u2019re very busy at work?\u2019 she inquired. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Yeah, I\u2019ve been so busy with work that I don\u2019t have time to meet young women like you, Ms. Sox. But I still have many admirers,\u2019 he replied.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 454 Jasmine did not wear makeup or dress up for the date; she looked just like she always did.
