Are you interested in gossip?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Mr. Sox replied with a serious expression, \u201cGossip doesn\u2019t interest someone my age,<\/div>\n<div>but feel free to share a bit when we have some downtime. I\u2019m okay with it.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Mrs. Sox squealed at her husband, saying, \u201cJasmine certainly takes after him.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Jasmine\u2019s fondness for gossip came from her father.<\/div>\n<div>Josh happened to be similar in that regard.<\/div>\n<div>It seemed as if he and Jasmine were meant for each other.<\/div>\n<div>God only knew what embarrassing stories Jasmine\u2019s parents would share with Josh when she wasn\u2019t around. After spending all day in front of her wardrobe, Jasmine finally chose a dress.<\/div>\n<div>As she left, Jasmine put on the dress and grabbed her phone.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cGet it together, Jas. Josh is downstairs.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Drake reminded his sister to maintain her composure. She needed to walk like a lady.<\/div>\n<div>Now that an eligible bachelor was interested in his sister, Jasmine might scare Mr. Bucham away if she didn\u2019t present herself well. Drake didn\u2019t want to spend his remaining years taking care of his single sister.<\/div>\n<div>Although he was younger than Jasmine, Drake was concerned about her finding a partner.<\/div>\n<div>Glancing back, Jasmine remarked, \u201cWe won\u2019t have privacy with him around. Why bother pretending?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Drake was left speechless.<\/div>\n<div>Considering Josh\u2019s background, Drake felt a mini panic. Would Josh uncover all his deepest secrets too?<\/div>\n<div>While Josh was in the intelligence field, his main interest was in getting to know Drake\u2019s sister better.<\/div>\n<div>Josh would only dig deep enough to understand her.<\/p>\n<p>Drake\u2019s character and preferences were considered before addressing his needs; it was a strategy aimed at winning Drake\u2019s favor. <\/p>\n<p>Josh knew it wouldn\u2019t take long to win over the girl if he could get his future brother-in-law and parents-in-law on his side. From what he observed, his future father-in-law seemed to have a favorable impression of him. Had he been more honest about his feelings earlier, Jasmine might have already been his. <\/p>\n<p>Tonight, Josh was set to have dinner at the Lowes\u2019 as Jasmine\u2019s boyfriend. This arrangement was meant to prevent Mrs. Lowe from introducing so-called \u201cgood men\u201d to Jasmine\u2014none of whom compared to Josh! <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan I have a word with you, Mr. Bucham?\u201d Jasmine said, pulling Josh aside before they made their entrance. She discreetly stuffed a wad of cash into his hand and whispered, \u201cMr. Bucham, this is your payment for pretending to be my boyfriend.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Josh glanced at the money and then met her eyes with a smile. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, Ms. Sox. This is what I\u2019m here for. I promise I\u2019ll do a great job.\u201d He tucked the cash into his pocket, wrapped his arms around her waist, and grinned slyly. \u201cLet\u2019s go, darling. We don\u2019t want to keep your parents waiting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jasmine was momentarily speechless. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no point in paying if you don\u2019t get your money\u2019s worth. I\u2019ll make sure to meet your expectations. Come on, let\u2019s practice our kiss. Kissing is normal for couples.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Josh leaned down to kiss Jasmine, surprising her into pushing him away. Holding out her hands, she said, \u201cGive me back the money. I\u2019m not renting a boyfriend anymore.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Josh returned the cash, but although he smiled, his tone was assertive. \u201cI\u2019ll take you up on that offer if you mention money again. That\u2019s what you\u2019re paying me for.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Jasmine was at a loss for words. It was clear that he was not someone to be trifled with.<\/p>\n<p>With Josh joining the Lowes for dinner, Mrs. Lowe soon discovered that he was courting her niece. This revelation left her feeling both happy and embarrassed. <\/p>\n<p>The Buchams were of a higher social standing than the Lowes, making her niece luckier than she felt.<\/p>\n<p>While Josh was expressing his intentions to Jasmine\u2019s family and friends, Zachary was following his nana\u2019s orders to leave Serenity alone.<\/p>\n<p>Zachary tolerated this arrangement for a week.<\/p>\n<p>During that time, he vented his pent-up emotions at work. The employees, bearing the brunt of his frustration, pleaded with Josh to help calm Mr. York. Otherwise, they would continue to suffer under Zachary\u2019s oversight, as the overtime seemed never-ending.<\/p>\n<p>When Zachary focused on work, he was remarkably efficient, and even Josh struggled to keep pace with him.<\/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 909 With a smile, Josh said, \u201cI should start working on it so I can receive the bigger gift [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12811\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
