Josh did not want Drake to follow, but he was not obvious about it. Instead, he repeatedly persuaded Drake to come in together and was about to reach out to pull him.
“Mr. Bucham, since Drake doesn’t want to go in, don’t force him. Drake, you go hang out with your friends and I’ll send you a message when I want you to come over.”
Serena mentioned that Josh approached Drake with an ulterior motive and his real target was her.
However, when she saw Josh behaving enthusiastically about her brother, she could not help but still worry if Josh was gay or bi***ual.
She would not allow him to get too close to her brother.
“I’ll go now, Mr. Bucham, Jas.”
Drake hurriedly drove away.
Only when his car was out of sight did Josh take Jasmine inside.
“Ms. Sox.”
As Josh and Jasmine walked shoulder to shoulder, he requested in a low voice, “You should take my arm.”
Jasmine was speechless. “We’re already very close now. Do I still need to hold your arm?”
“Look at Zack and Serena. They look so close. That’s what a female companion is like. This is so you can help me keep away the adoration of the female employees.”
He added in a soft voice, “I’ll add money.”
Jasmine bristled. “You make it sound as if I don’t have enough and need your money.”
Well, she really did like his money. He gave her too much. She was an ordinary person with worldly desires, so what she liked most in life was money.
“I did say I’d buy a wig for Drake and let him pretend to be my female companion, but you rejected and said I could hire you to be my female companion instead since you’re an actual woman.”
Hearing Josh’s mutter, Jasmine immediately hooked his arm, put a smile on her pretty face, and fiercely pinched him. Her gaze swept her surroundings and saw that no one noticed her, so she immediately dropped her smile.
She said viciously, “Josh Bucham, are you trying to hit on my brother? I’m warning. you, even if you’re from the Bucham family with power and influence, I won’t let you have your way with Drake. My brother is a straight man!”
Josh was wincing from her pinch. When he heard her stern warning, he stopped, looked at her, and said in amusement, “Ms. Sox, are you misunderstanding something? How could I possibly be hitting on your brother?
“If I like men, isn’t Zack more handsome? We have young and handsome elites in our company. I really don’t need to hit on your brother.”
“Then why did you suggest having my brother dress as a woman to be your plus one?”
Jasmine agreed to be Josh’s female companion not only because he spent a lot of money to hire her, but also because he said that if she did not do him this favor, he would ask Drake to dress up as a woman instead.
Josh laughed. “Would you be my date if I didn’t say that?”
Jasmine was dumbfounded. “So you’re really not gay?”
Josh’s expression darkened, and he said, “Ms. Sox, you asked me if I could do it. when we went on our blind date. Although that wasn’t what you meant, it’s easy for a man to misunderstand and take it the wrong way when you question his abilities.
“Now, you’re asking me if I’m gay. Will you believe me if I say no? If I wanted to try it ,out with you, you, would you think of me as a rogue?”
Jasmine was rendered speechless by what Josh had just said.
After a long while, she said, “Did I ask you that during our blind date? I can’t recall. I only remember you held a rose in your mouth and rode a bike there that day.
“You even tried to give me the rose that you held in your mouth. Fortunately, I watched you arrive, or I would’ve accepted the rose. Speaking of which, you weren’t sincere at all. If you were, you would’ve told me then that you were from the Bucham family.”
If she knew that Josh was from the mysterious Bucham family of Wiltspoon, she would never have gone on the blind date with him.
Josh grumbled in his heart, ‘It was because I saw my boss conceal his identity to get married. Although he deceived his wife, he could examine her character. If Serena fell in love with Zack, he could be sure that she fell for him as a person, not because of his identity or status.’
Therefore, Josh followed in Zack’s footsteps.
Later, when he saw how Zack was afraid of confessing his identity to Serena and that she would dump him out of anger, Josh decided to come clean about his identity to Jasmine. Unexpectedly, she already knew in advance.
Sure enough, Jasmine distanced herself from him and did not try to become friends.
He had no choice but to take the brother-in-law route.
However, Jasmine’s imagination was so rich that she suspected that he was hitting on Drake.
If he really was gay, Zack would never keep him by his side.
“You said you didn’t want to marry into a rich family. I hid my identity during the blind. date because I was afraid I wouldn’t even be able to see you.
“Ms. Sox, I went on a blind date with you out of my heart’s desire. I really want to give us a shot at love.”
Jasmine replied, “Let’s talk about that later. I’m here tonight on a job. It’s fine as long as you’re not hitting on my brother.”
He was an exceptional man who was incredibly rich. Although her family was wealthy as well, the gap between the Soxes and Buchams was rather wide. Jasmine thought of how hard her aunt had lived when she was young. She was always rejected by the gentry.
Even now, her aunt had to deal with those noble ladies frequently in order to pave the way for Shawn.
Jasmine sighed in her heart when she remembered her cousin who liked to follow. her around since childhood.
That day, she told her aunt that Shawn had a crush on Serena, but he did not give. up even though Serena was married now. He continued to pester Serena even after she had clearly rejected him.
Jasmine had no idea how her aunt reprimanded Shawn after she left.
She only knew that Shawn was not even allowed to come to her house anymore. He was followed by bodyguards everywhere he went, and his phone was also monitored by her aunt.
Shawn could not and did not dare look for Serena again.
He was terrified, afraid that his mother would really cause trouble for Serena. He was afraid that she would force the Hunt sisters to leave Wiltspoon so he could never see Serena again in his life.
That was until the Stone family hosted a banquet and announced the relationship between Audrey and her nieces.
Shawn had never given up in the first place, but now he got worked up again.
He felt that with an aunt like Audrey, even his mother would not be able to force the two sisters out of Wiltspoon.
Rachel was troubled with this and complained to Jasmine’s mother in private. That was how Jasmine found out that Shawn had not given up.
Shawn was a man, but he could not compare to Elisa.
A lady like Elisa had unrequited love for Mr. York for many years, but when she found out that he was married, she cut off her feelings and no longer pestered him. She was much better than Shawn.
