Dizzy from the shaking, Jasmine pried Elisa’s fingers from her shoulders and said, “Elisa, Mr. Bucham and I only went on one blind date, and that was it. He won’t tell me if I ask him.”
“I can’t believe you went on a date with Josh Bucham!”
Elisa exclaimed in amazement. “Josh is the most eligible bachelor in Wiltspoon, and I’m talking about among the elites.”
Elisa had no doubt about the authenticity of Jasmine’s date with Josh because Jasmine was the daughter of a local wealthy man. Jasmine’s aunt was also the missus of the Lowe family. Jasmine often attended higher society events with her aunt.
However, Mrs. Lowe stopped bringing Jasmine around to parties after Jasmine’s lying stunt at Mrs. Dawson’s birthday celebration.
“Serenity’s husband set up the date.”
Serenity smiled and admitted openly, “My husband does seem to be in Mr. Bucham’s good books. Seeing that Mr. Bucham was always busy at work and single, he boldly set him up with Jasmine. He thought Jasmine would make a good couple with Mr. Bucham.”
“Serenity, your husband is amazing to be chummy with Josh. No wonder he’s in his element at York Corporation. Josh is Mr. York’s most trusted man and holds a position higher than the other York family members.
“It’s not just the employees who want to befriend him, people like us also want to get in with him too. It’s a shame he and Mr. York are best friends. Mr. York doesn’t like me, so even Mr. Bucham would stay away at the sight of me before I could get a chance to be chummy.”
Jasmine and Serenity were lost for words.
Mr. Bucham sounded plain wicked.
Even an heiress like Elisa wanted to buddy up with him.
While Mr. Bucham could open doors to opportunities, Mr. York was… the golden ticket.
Serenity believed anybody who could get into Mr. York’s circle would have Wiltspoon at the palm of their hands.
“Jasmine, what do you think about Mr. Bucham?”
Elisa wanted to get information on Zachary’s wife through Josh as she needed full closure.
