Chapter 89 Back in the bookshop near Wiltspoon School, Serenity sat behind the cash register, scrolling on her phone readingnews while Jasmine was lost in a romance book.
As the owner of a bookshop, Jasmine had free rein to explore all the books she wanted.
That was the perk for doing what she loved for a living.
Jasmine had read almost all the romance novels in the shop.
At times, Serenity would tease by asking Jasmine to become a writer since she had always enjoyed a good chick lit.
“Seren, the main characters of this story got married at first sight too.”
As she put down the book,Jasmine added with a smile,” Just like you.” Serenity was fixated on Jasmine.
As she put down the book,Jasmine added with a smile,” Just like you.” Serenity was fixated on Jasmine.
“Lots of people got married after dating shortly.
Well, you did say that the female character of that book blindly married a billionaire.
My husband is only a wage earner.” Even though Zachary was a senior white-collar worker in a major group, he was working forsomeone.
“You might want to cut down on reading.
I think the stories are getting way over your head.
You’ll never find Mr.
Right because you’d compare the male leads to the men you meet in real life.
The irresistible men in your books only exist in fiction.” Rarely were there young, attractive, wealthy, and devoted CEOs in real life.
“I’m just passing time with these books.
I don’t have a knack for crafting like you.” Closing her book, Jasmine pulled out her phone and scrolled for any interesting news.
Her general preference was tabloid.
She visited her favorite site and checked the trending updates of the day.
With one article piquing Jasmine’s interest, she exclaimed, “Seren, check out Twitter.”
“What’s the big news?” Serenity spared her a glance but nothing more.
She had a Twitter account, but she rarely managed it as her number of followers were only in the double digits.
Occasionally, she would tweet about her crafts since her followers were loyal customers.
“Someone declared their love to the heir of the Yorks.” “Oh.”
Serenity was not the least bit intrigued.
The way she saw it was that she would never cross paths
with the big man of the York family.
with the big man of the York family.
Why would she waste time on a figure who played no part in her life?
“I heard that the heir’s not shortof admirers.
I mean, he’s the heir to and CEO of York Corporation.
Marrying him is basically marrying into wealth and power.
“The woman must be a certain somebody to pull such a bold stunt to make a pass at the heir.
Do you want to guess who she is, Seren?” “It’s neither you nor me for sure.”
That shutJasmine up.
Jasmine whined, “Why aren’t you intrigued by the hottest gossip of the year? “It’s the sisterof Stone Group’s CEO.
His only sister.
Stone Group’s only second to York Corporation in Wiltspoon.
However, the two giants don’t seem to be on good terms.
I can’t believe Elisa has a thing for young Mr.
York.
I admire Elisa’s bravery and confidence to profess her feelings and go after the man!”
Serenity put a damper on her spirits.

“We were talking about Mr.
York swinging the other way the last time.
Ms.
Stone won’t have her feelings reciprocated.
We could probably see a more optimistic result if Mr.
Stone went after him instead.” Jasmine was lost for words.
Mr.
Stone was married, and the wedding stirred a TL sensation in the Wiltspoon community.
The couple was very much in love.
Mr.
Stone made a name for himself in Wiltspoon as someone who would give his wife everything
Jasmine believed Mr.
Jasmine believed Mr.
Stone was a real-life character out of the romance novels – young, handsome, and rich.
