Chapter 882
Judging by the timing of Josh’s arrival, Jasmine guessed that Zachary went to the office.
“What did Elisa say or do when she found out that Zachary was Mr. York?”
Josh did not send the photos to Zachary right away after taking them.
Elisa had taken Serenity to the hospital to redress the injury anyway. Zachary would summon him back to the office while he himself would check on his wife at the
hospital if Josh were to send him the photos right now.
Josh selfishly thought to himself, ‘All I’m asking for is a half–day.‘
He wanted to spend some alone time with Jasmine before going back to slaving himself at the office.
Josh believed he must have owed Zachary tremendously in another life because he was ungrudgingly paying Zachary back by bending over backward now.
“She blamed Mr. York for lying to Serenity. She didn’t do anything though. Mr. York didn’t defend himself, probably because he couldn’t talk his way out of the truth.”
Jasmine looked at Josh. “You wealthy and powerful men can win an Oscar with your acting.”
They had the power to shut people up and keep the deceived in the dark.
Ordinary people had no means to stage the play for so long.
“I never lied to you, Jasmine. You didn’t want me to hang out with you as Mr. Bucham, so I’m just an ordinary guy here with you. I’ve kept nothing from you.”
Opening a box of pastries, Jasmine took a bite out of one and said, “You already ran background checks on me. Even if you’re an ordinary guy with me now, you already have all the information you need and don’t need to know about me.”
Josh was embarrassed.
That was his habit.
