Chapter 909
Josh said with a smile, “I better work on it so I can get the bigger gift from you soon.”
“I heard that no gossip slips past your family,” Mr. Sox chimed in.
Josh replied, “That’s true. Are you into gossip?”
Mr. Sox uttered with a straight face, “Gossip doesn’t appeal to someone of my age,
but you can share a little with me when we have nothing to do. I’m fine with it.”
Squealing at her husband, Mrs. Sox remarked, “Jasmine takes after him.”
Jasmine’s love for the buzz and gossip came from her father.
Josh happened to be the same type.
He and Jasmine seemed destined together.

Stuffing the cash in his pocket, Josh wrapped his arms around her waist and grinned cunningly. “Let’s go, darling. We don’t have to keep your parents waiting.”
Jasmine was at a loss for words.
“No point paying if you don’t get your money’s worth. I must make sure I’m more than up to your expectations. Come. Let’s practice our kiss. Kissing is a normal thing for couples.”
Josh lowered his head to kiss Jasmine, startling Jasmine into pushing him away. Putting her hands out, Jasmine said, “Give me back the money. I’m not renting a boyfriend anymore.”
Josh gave her back the money. Although there was a smile on his face, his words came off as domineering. “I’ll bang you if you offer me money again. That’s what you’re paying me for.”
Jasmine was lost for words.
The man was not one to be messed with.
With Josh joining along for dinner at the Lowes‘, Mrs. Lowe soon found out that Josh was courting her niece. She was happy and embarrassed at the same time.
The Buchams were higher up the social ladder than the Lowes. Her niece was luckier than her.
While Josh was making his intentions known to Jasmine’s family and friends, Zachary left Serenity alone under his nana’s orders.
Zachary put up with it for a week.
During the week, Zachary unleashed his pent–up emotions at work. Taking the brunt of it, the employees begged Josh to simmer Mr. York down. Otherwise, the employees would continue to suffer in Zachary’s hands as the overtime would never come to an end.
Zachary was efficient when he put his mind to work. Even Josh could not keep up with him.
