Chapter 1655

“Are you going home to get ready?” After pouring her heart out, Jasmine asked her best friend.

Serenity responded, “I’ll send Sonny home first. He said he missed me after his class ended, so Jimsent him over.”

She had to accompany her husband to attend the charity gala at night, so it was inconvenient for her tobring Sonny along.

“Hurry up and leave. I’ll be here to watch the store. It’s been a long time since I last sat here. I wonder ifthose little monkeys miss me.” Jasmine referred to students as little monkeys.

“Should I inform Mr. Bucham that you’re here watching the store?”

Jasmine said, “No need. He knows about it. Look at that row of bodyguards. Even if I don’t tell him,won’t they do it? Josh won’t stop me from watching the store. All I do is use the cash register.”

Serenity laughed. “Fine. You stay here and watch the store. I’ll send Sonny back.”

“Go ahead.”

Serenity held her nephew and left the bookstore.

After Serenity left, Jasmine immediately headed to the kitchen to look for ice cream in the fridge, but tono avail.

She mumbled with disappointment, “The weather has been so hot, yet Seren doesn’t keep any icecream in the fridge.”

It was impossible for her to eat ice cream in the Buchams‘ residence. Everyone would forbid her fromeating ice cream because it was cold.

Even Jasmine’s mother reminded her not to eat too much ice cream to cool her body. It would be bestnot to eat it at all.

Jasmine’s mother knew her best. Every year during the summertime, Jasmine would eat ice cream afew times a day when the weather was scorching hot.

After searching the fridge for ice cream, she could not find any drinks. There were only vegetables andfruit.

Disappointed, Jasmine shut the fridge door. Originally, she came to the store with the intention tosatisfy her cravings, but she ended up finding nothing in the fridge.

She turned around and walked out of the kitchen. She made her way to the counter to take a seat.After some thought, she left the counter and walked outside.

The minute the bodyguards saw her coming out, all of them fixed their eyes on her.

“Don’t stand here. It’s hot. Find a shady spot to keep cool. You’ll catch the students‘ eye if you keepstanding here. This will affect the business of the bookstore when school’s out.”novelbin

At the sight of a row of tall and sturdy bodyguards with fierce expressions, the students would not dareenter the bookstore as they might assume that the bodyguards were gangsters.

Previously, when Zachary stood in the store with a solemn expression, the students were so frightenedthat they hurried away.

The bodyguards that Josh chose for Jasmine were sturdy and ferocious–looking. They were alldressed in black, which was quite frightening.

“Missus, we’re not afraid of heat. We can just sit at the entrance of the store,” a bodyguard replied toJasmine on behalf of everyone.

After keeping quiet for a while, Jasmine asked, “Don’t you find it hot? It’s over ninety degrees duringthe day. Don’t you want to have some ice cream on such a hot day?”

The bodyguards were in silence.

“Boris.”

Jasmine called out one of the bodyguards‘ names

“Yes, Missus?” Boris responded politely.

Jasmine said, “Wait a moment. I’m going to the store to get something.”

She turned around and went into the store. She took out two hundred dollars from her purse andwalked out. When she handed the cash to Boris, Boris looked at her in bewilderment.

“Let me treat you to some ice cream on such a hot day. Take this money and buy some ice cream fromPerry’s shop. He sells a variety of ice cream. The expensive ice cream is tastier. You should eat thetastiest one.”

Worried that the bodyguards did not dare spend too much money, Jasmine deliberately emphasizedthe last two sentences.

“Missus, you don’t need to treat us. We’ll get it on our own if we feel like eating.”

“Take the cash and buy some ice cream now. Everyone gets one.”

Again, Jasmine stressed that everyone would get ice cream. She supposed that the bodyguards wouldget her one.

Boris hesitated for a while and exchanged glances with his colleagues before taking Jasmine’s money.
