Jasmine whispered, “Maybe it’s because Josh is treating my brother exceptionally well. He basically spoils Drake. He’s even willing to lend Drake his most beloved sports car. You know there are two things in this world that men will never share-hist car and his wife.
“I just think that, well, Josh has feelings for my brother. Help me ask. If he really swings the other way, I can’t let him approach Drake again in the future.”
Serena was speechless. “Why haven’t you considered that Mr. Bucham carried an ulterior motive? His true target is you.”
Josh wanted to appeal to Drake and get him to help.
For example, if he invited Drake to dinner, Jasmine might follow because she felt worried.
Jasmine was at a loss for words.
Serena laughed. “You’ve read so many novels yet you can’t recognize the tactics. men use to chase after their future wives.”
Jasmine opened her mouth to retort, but she somewhat saw reason in her best friend’s statement.
Ring, ring, ring…
Serena and Jasmine’s phones rang at the same time.
Serena answered hers first.
“Zack, I’m going out now. I’ll reach your company in about ten minutes. Wait for me at the entrance.”
On the other side, Jasmine said to Josh, “Since I’ve accepted your money, don’t worry about me not doing my job, Mr. Bucham. With me around today, none of the female employees in your company will be able to lay a hand on you!”
Josh laughed. “How domineering!”
As expected of the female companion whom he spent a lot of money to coax.
“I’ll arrange a driver to pick you up,” Josh said thoughtfully.
“No need, I asked Drake to send Seren and me over. He’ll pick me up after the dinner is over.”
Josh smiled. “You never give me an opportunity to perform, Ms. Sox.”
Jasmine laughed. “It’s not nice to trouble you because you’re a very busy man, Mr. Bucham. Seren and I are heading out now. See you later.”
“Sure, I’ll wait for you at the entrance.”
Jasmine hummed, hung up the phone, and said to Serena, “Let’s go, Seren. The boss is urging me. Let’s go and finish the task early, then collect the balance.”
Serena laughed. “Didn’t he pay you all at once?”
“He said he was afraid I wouldn’t keep my word, so he gave me a deposit first. If I fail, he wants me to return the deposit a hundredfold, but if I fulfill my promise, he’ll transfer the balance into my account.”
Serena felt that Josh was casting a long line to catch a big fish.
Jasmine would take the bait sooner or later.
Now and then while on the way to York Corporation, Jasmine urged her brother,” Speed up, Drake.”
“Jas, it’s an after-work rush now in the city. There’s a lot of traffic. How am I supposed to speed up? It’s good enough we’re not stuck in traffic.”
Serena laughed. “Are you afraid of Mr. Bucham deducting your money if you’re late?”
“I want to hurry there for a chance to catch Mr. York and his wife. Mr. Bucham said. that the CEO will show up tonight with his wife. Mr. York gives a speech every year at the annual dinner.
“We’ll get to see him if we arrive early. Otherwise, I’m afraid we won’t be able to event see their bodyguards.”
Three months ago, the two best friends followed Rachel Lowe to Wiltspoon Hotel to attend a banquet. Although they did not see Mr. York himself, they saw the backs of his bodyguards. Each one of them was so tall and bulky that the girls could not catch. a glimpse of Mr. York when he was surrounded by the bodyguards.
Serena could not help but laugh. “Are you still being nosy about Mr. York? What’s there to gossip about? As long as he’s a straight man, it’s natural for him to marry a wife.”
“I dare say the whole of Wiltspoon is gossiping about it, wanting to know the true face of Mr. York’s wife and how she won his heart.”
Jasmine laughed and added, “I think everyone wants to learn from her on how to conquer men. Mr. York was notoriously difficult to take down, but she succeeded, which means she’s the best among us women. We can learn from her the art of managing our husbands.
“Especially you, Seren. You already have a husband, and your man is too handsome. There must be many people outside who adore him. If it weren’t for his long face and serious expression all day, there would be admirers provoking you every day.
“You have to learn how to control your husband well from Mrs. York so your husband will only love you in his life and not cheat.”
Serena paused before agreeing, “You’re right. I have to protect my man. I wonder if we’ll be able to meet Mrs. York.”
“We should be able to see her if we arrive early. With Mr. Bucham’s status, I think we can ride on his coattails and get the opportunity to meet and chat with Mrs. York.”
Serena was tempted.
When there were no feelings, she did not care if Zack had an affair or not. She could immediately end their relationship as husband and wife if he cheated on her.
Now that feelings were involved and they were a real couple, Serena started to care. about Zack.
What skills did Mrs. York have when managing her husband? If she was willing to share tips, Serena had to learn so she could hold on tight to Zack.
“Um, Drake, could you drive faster? Who knows when we’ll get such a good opportunity again if we’re late.”
Serena could not help but urge Drake as well.
Drake, who was driving, was speechless.
He was a man. Although he was still young and did not have a girlfriend yet, he listened to the two best friends talking about controlling their husbands and said in his heart, ‘When I find a girlfriend, I can’t find one who’s as strong as they are.
‘On second thought, my sister is pretty good. Serena is good too.
‘I might not be able to find a girlfriend like them.
‘It’s fine if I’m controlled by my wife. As long as she’s a good wife, it’ll be my pleasure to be controlled by her.’
Under the ladies’ urging, they finally arrived at the entrance of York Corporation before 7:30 pm.
Josh was waiting at the entrance of the building.
Upon seeing Drake’s car, a smile appeared on Josh’s face. He walked over and very gentlemanly opened Jasmine’s door to reach out to her.
“I’ll get out by myself.”
Jasmine did not take his hand and got out of the car on her own.
She often followed her aunt to banquets and was familiar with such events.
Serena had just gotten out when Zack came out from inside.
“Seren.”
Zack’s eyes lit up ferociously when he saw Serena all dolled up. He wanted to hide her and her beauty from anyone.
He wanted her magnificence to blossom for him alone.
“Zack.”
Catching him staring at her, Serena thought her dress did not look good and asked, ”
Do I look bad in this?”
“You look good.”
Zack took Serena’s hand and said in a low voice, “Seren, you look stunning tonight. Come, I’ll take you inside.”
Serena greeted Josh with a nod before following Zack into the building.
Josh wanted to take the Sox siblings in, but Drake refused and said, “This is your company’s annual dinner. I don’t work here, and I’m not a woman, so I can’t be your companion. I won’t go in.
“I’ll return to take my sister home when dinner is over.”
