Chapter 882
Judging by the timing of Josh’s arrival, Jasmine guessed that Zachary went to the office.
“What did Elisa say or do when she found out that Zachary was Mr. York?”
Josh did not send the photos to Zachary right away after taking them.
Elisa had taken Serenity to the hospital to redress the injury anyway. Zachary would summon him backto the office while he himself would check on his wife at the
hospital if Josh were to send him the photos right now.
Josh selfishly thought to himself, ‘All I’m asking for is a half–day.‘
He wanted to spend some alone time with Jasmine before going back to slaving himself at the office.
Josh believed he must have owed Zachary tremendously in another life because he was ungrudginglypaying Zachary back by bending over backward now.
“She blamed Mr. York for lying to Serenity. She didn’t do anything though. Mr. York didn’t defendhimself, probably because he couldn’t talk his way out of the truth.”
Jasmine looked at Josh. “You wealthy and powerful men can win an Oscar with your acting.”
They had the power to shut people up and keep the deceived in the dark.
Ordinary people had no means to stage the play for so long.
“I never lied to you, Jasmine. You didn’t want me to hang out with you as Mr. Bucham, so I’m just anordinary guy here with you. I’ve kept nothing from you.”
Opening a box of pastries, Jasmine took a bite out of one and said, “You already ran backgroundchecks on me. Even if you’re an ordinary guy with me now, you already have all the information youneed and don’t need to know about me.”
Josh was embarrassed.
That was his habit.
Once he had his eye on someone, Josh would exhaust his network to dig out everything about theperson.
He could only emerge victorious by going in prepared.
“Any new gossip lately?”
Jasmine went for another tart after finishing one. She slid the box toward Josh, gesturing for him to eat.
Josh took up Jasmine’s offer and grabbed a cake, but he had trouble keeping the food down.
Like Zachary, Josh was not fond of sweet stuff.
Taking the cake that he took a bite out of, Josh stealthily hid it under the table. With a smiling face, heanswered, “Nothing much. There’s something in showbiz about a celebrity’s tarnished public image, butyou’re not interested in that.”
The showbiz did not pique Jasmine’s interest. She and Serenity would only catch on to the news afterthe whole world found out about these viral scandals.
“Do you have anything on the head of your household?”
Jasmine was dying to find out if cupid would strike an arrow at the head of the
Bucham household.
What kind of woman would turn the head of a resourceful man like Julian?
Josh pulled out a napkin and kept both hands under the table as he wrapped the cake with the napkinbefore throwing it into the trash can. Pretending like nothing ever happened, he wiped his hands andput them back on the table. Josh said, “Well, it won’t reach our ears even if there’s gossip aboutJulian.”
There was no way they could get dirt on Julian unless the latter leaked the information himself.
Curious, Jasmine remarked, “I wonder what type of woman would attract Julian.”
Josh murmured, “I’d like to know too.”

With Jasmine’s phone ringing, she looked at the caller ID and said, “Keep it quiet. It’s Mother Superiorcalling.”
