Jasmine had given Josh a call earlier to say that her ride ran out of juice in the middle of the road. She was trying to push her e-bike back but it was too great of a distance and she did not make much progress either. In the end, she sought Josh for help.
This was the first time Jasmine asked Josh for help. She called him to pick her up because she could get a ride and offer solace to her best friend.
Otherwise, Jasmine would have called her brother to pick her up instead, and Josh could kiss the opportunity goodbye.
John beckoned Serenity to sit as he paused his plans to pick Jasmine up.
“Would you like anything to drink, Ms. Hunt?”
“No need for that. I want to ask you a few questions. Is Zachary the heir of the wealthiest family in the city? Is he your boss?”
After much silence, Josh replied with a question, “Have you seen Mr. York gushing all over his wife in the interview?”
“Gushing all over his wife? More like lying to his wife!”
Serenity furiously remarked, “I saw the interview. I can’t believe it’s him!”
Josh carefully examined Serenity’s expression. She was upset and livid. Josh silently prayed for Zachary and wished him the best.
It would probably take a while before Zachary could work out the marriage crisis.
It served him right!
He was the one who pretended to be someone else!
Josh suddenly felt relieved that he told Jasmine who he really was. Sure, it added obstacles to getting the girl, but at least Josh did not have to face the disaster Zachary was in.
One wrong move and Serenity might just divorce Zachary.
Nevertheless, divorce was not an option for Zachary.
Josh knew Zachary well. Zachary was an unfeeling man who saw love as nothing but philosophical. For a detached man to develop feelings for a woman, it was all the love he could ever give a person. Apart from Serenity, Zachary could not possibly fall in love with another woman.
Serenity was everything to Zachary, and he could not fathom the thought of losing her. That was why he covered up lies with more lies until he finally owned up today.
