“I heard from the secretary that you’ve been smiling all afternoon. Zack, you’re so easily satisfied. Serena just came to pick you up for lunch and sent you back to work, but you look so stupidly happy.”
Josh certainly would not refuse Zack’s invitation for dinner, especially when he knew that Jasmine had also left him to have dinner with his boss’s wife. He felt that his masculinity took a great hit and he felt inferior to the boss’s wife.
Thus, he went to Zack’s office and made fun of Zack as soon as he entered the door.
Zack had just finished his conversation with Duncan. When he saw Josh, he put down his phone and decided not to care about Josh’s comment because he was in a good mood. He said, “You don’t have a wife yet, so you can’t appreciate the
happiness of a married man like me.”
“You really know how to agitate me with that.”
Josh sat down opposite him.
“I’ve been working hard to chase my future wife.”
Josh leaned back and added, “When I take her down, let’s see if you can still show off your love in front of me!”
Zack said with a smile, “Anyway, you’ll still be single this year.”
“There are so few days left in the year. So what if I stay single?” Josh thought of Duncan, the true bachelor, and said with a smile, “From now on, we can show off in front of Duncan and show him what it’s like to be in love. Maybe he’ll get triggered and think about his love life.”
At the mention of Duncan’s love life, Zack stopped smiling and said, “The elders of the Lewis family are anxious about Duncan’s marriage, but their requirements are also very high. They’re not like our families who can accept our partners as long as we like them.”
“Mrs. Lewis wants Duncan to marry a woman whose family has at least several billions of dollars in assets. She thinks that’s the kind of woman who is worthy of Duncan.”
Duncan himself had a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.
Mrs. Lewis felt that her youngest son was excellent in every aspect except for his scarred face. Since her son was so outstanding, only an equally outstanding woman would be worthy of him.
Josh thought Mrs. Lewis appeared friendly, but in fact, she was rather condescending. When he met Mrs. Lewis at a banquet, Mrs. Lewis would only talk to other women with similar status to her and would look down on everyone else.
Perhaps Duncan knew his mother too well and felt that it was difficult to find a girlfriend who could satisfy his mother, so he just gave up.
If Duncan were present, he would say, “I really don’t like anyone. That’s why I’m not dating.”
“By the way, are you pursuing Ms. Sox or her younger brother? When I returned from my business trip, I heard that you invited Drake to dinner every now and then and occasionally accompanied him to races. You even lent him your race car.’
Zack leaned closer to Josh and said with a smile, “Josh, I heard gossip that’s related to you. Do you want to hear it?”
Josh scoffed and said, “Who can beat me when it comes to gossip? I’ve known about it. Some people see that I’m always with Drake, so they suspect that I like young and handsome men.”
Every time Josh invited Drake to dinner, Jasmine followed too, so why didn’t those people see her?
Josh was taking the brother-in-law route to woo his future wife!
“Ms. Sox doesn’t hate me, but I think she doesn’t like my background. That’s not something I can control. So many women envy my background, but Jasmine actually despises me for being overly rich and doesn’t want to date me.
“Most women dislike their boyfriends for being poor, but the girl I like dislikes me for being rich. That’s why my only way is to start with Drake, who idolizes me. He shows
up as soon as I ask him out.
“Ms. Sox is afraid that her brother will sell her out, so whenever I ask Drake out for dinner, she’ll follow. That way, I’ll get my chance to perform in front of her.”
Zack was speechless.
He thought Josh was good with women, but it turned out that Josh was no better than him.
Josh always said the right things and analyzed Zack’s relationship problems well.
“Is Serena coming to the company’s annual dinner?”
“Of course!”
“I’ll invite Jasmine again later. If she doesn’t want to come with me, I’ll have to ask Serena to help me bring her over.
Josh decided to make Jasmine his female companion at this year’s company annual dinner. He intended for her to be his female companion forever.
“Since you requested, my wife and I won’t let you down. Let’s go. My wife has probably left the house. Oh right, which restaurant do you usually go to? Seren said that they’re going to the restaurant that you brought them to.”
Hearing this, Josh smiled and said, “I knew Jasmine liked that restaurant.”
“Let’s go. I’ll lead the way. We can text Duncan when we arrive. He doesn’t have a crush and only knows how to make money all day long. He earns so much but doesn’t have a wife to help him spend it.”
Zack agreed.
Poor Duncan. He was ditched by his friends.
He was left all alone.
Duncan thought they would become the three most eligible bachelors in Wiltspoon, but he was the only one left.
After leaving the office, Zack got into Josh’s car.
Josh said to him, “I get that you don’t want to take your luxury car, but why aren’t you driving the MPV that you specially bought to deceive your wife?”
Zack said while fastening his seat belt. “If I go with you, my wife won’t have to worry about me being unemployed.”
“You, unemployed? Why is Serena worried that you’ll be unemployed?”
Josh almost laughed out loud.
Serena was not worried about anything but Zack losing his job. If Zack did not take charge of York Corporation, all eight of his younger brothers would cry to death. He could take on the burden of nine of them by himself.
“She didn’t say it, but she’s starting to feel sorry for my wallet and told me not to spend money carelessly. If I’m seen with you frequently, she’ll think that I’m licking your boots, so she won’t have to worry anymore.”
Josh said, “She doesn’t know that she’s actually the real boss, huh?”
At the mention of Serena, Zack’s eyes turned tender. He agreed with what Josh said.
Ring ring ring…
“My wife is calling.”
Josh tactfully turned down the music in the car when he heard this.
“Seren.”
Zack’s tone was still serious when he answered the phone, but only those who knew him well could tell that he spoke gentler than usual.
“Zack, have you eaten yet?”
“Are you asking me out for dinner?” Zack asked instinctively. However, when he recalled that Serena ditched him to eat with Jasmine, he added bitterly, “Oh, right. You invited Ms. Sox to dinner and didn’t want me to follow, so how could you call to invite me?”.
“Tsk tsk… Are you jealous again? Jasmine is my best friend, but you still want to compare yourself to her. You’re my husband whom I’ll spend the rest of my life with, so you two are in different positions. There’s no need to compare.”
“You have a business engagement tonight, right? Don’t drink too much. You should eat something before drinking. If you need me to pick you up, just send me a message.”
Zack, who was still jealous of Jasmine, felt much better. No matter how important Jasmine was to Serena, she would not be spending the rest of her life with her. He was the person who would spend the rest of his life with Serena.
Serena was right. There was really no need to compare himself with Jasmine. Otherwise, he would get jealous every day. Moreover, Serena would not cut off ties with Jasmine just because he was jealous of her.
“I’m accompanying Mr. Bucham to have dinner with a client, so I won’t drink much.”
