Chapter 613
When Serenity arrived at the store, she just so happened to see Josh coming out.
He turned his head and waved goodbye as he walked away. Serenity did not have to ask to know that he was speaking to Jasmine.
He greeted Serenity politely when he saw her.
Serenity smiled back. She was not familiar with Josh but was aware of his true identity, so she was a bit reserved.
Josh and Serenity had nothing to talk about either, and she was his friend’s wife. It was inappropriate for him to interact much with her when his friend was not around.
“I’ll head back to the office, Ms. Hunt.”
“Bye, Mr. Bucham.”
Josh smiled, got into the car, and quickly drove away.
Only then did Serenity enter the store.
As soon as she did, she saw a large bouquet of flowers placed on the cashier’s desk. At a glance, there seemed to be ninety-nine roses. In addition to the bouquet, there was a large bag beside it that was filled with a variety of snacks Jasmine ate regularly.
There were also a few sets of Jasmine’s commonly used and most loved skincare products.
Jasmine was sitting at the cash register with Sonny in her arms, opening up a bag of snacks to share with the boy. When she saw Serenity enter, she smiled and said, “There’s food. Mr. Bucham delivered a lot of snacks. We won’t feel bored watching the store
anymore.”
“Ant Swer,” Sonny greeted Serenity, with his gaze going back to the bag of snacks in
Jasmine’s hand.
Jasmine tipped the bag and took a cracker from it to feed Sonny. Sonny ate while reaching out to the bag for more.
“Don’t eat too much, Sonny. It’ll affect your appetite.”
After Jasmine gave Sonny a few more crackers, she stopped feeding him for fear he would snack on too much and refuse a proper meal later.
Serenity looked at the snacks in the bag as well as the sets of skincare products. She teased her friend, “Mr. Bucham has figured out all your preferences. They’re all favorite flavors and the brands you like to use on a daily basis.”
your
Zachary never bought her snacks or sent her skincare products.
All he knew was to get angry when she used the mask sent by Elisa. He even asked what brands she preferred using so he would buy them for her in the future and not use stuff from Elisa anymore.
All talk and no walk.
Zachary actually bought her snacks before, but he was still arrogant at that time and could not put aside his pride, so he said that they were for Sonny.
Jasmine said, “Elisa already said that Mr. Bucham is from a family that deals with
information. I’m basically as plain as day to him. If I want to know something about him, I’ll never find out unless he voluntarily tells me himself.
“People from families that deal with intelligence are great at prying into other people’s affairs and equally great at protecting their own privacy.”
Serenity thought about it and agreed.
She laughed. “I feel as if you’re losing interest in him by the day whereas he’s come to like you more. He has even started pursuing you.”
He hand-delivered such a large bouquet of flowers.
Meanwhile, her petty husband had never sent her ninety-nine roses before.
“It’s not that I hate it. I just feel like I don’t have privacy in front of him.”
Josh was eloquent, gentle, polite, and attractive. Jasmine had a good first impression of him. She did not hate him, but she did not like him either.
After all, they had only met a few times.
“Let’s go one step at a time. You can think about the future when you develop feelings for each other. If you can’t, then don’t force yourself. You don’t have to worry about Zachary’s job. He hadn’t just started building connections with Mr. Bucham now.”
Jasmine was indeed worried that her best friend’s husband would have his job affected by Josh if she rejected him.
After discovering Josh’s real identity, she searched the web for news related to him, but unfortunately, there was not much.
She only knew Josh’s position in York Corporation.
