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.
God knew what embarrassing moments Jasmine’s parents would share with Josh. while she was not around. Hence, Jasmine finally decided on a dress after standing in front of her wardrobe all day.
Jasmine wore a dress, grabbing her phone on the way out.
“Get it together, Jas. Josh is downstairs.”
Drake called her sister’s attention to her bearing. She should walk like a lady.
Now that an eligible bachelor had the hots for his sister, Jasmine might scare Mr. Bucham away if she did not keep up with her appearance. Drake did not want to end up slaving off his remaining years to look after his spinster sister.
Despite being years younger than his sister, Drake was worried about his sister ever finding a man.
Looking back, Jasmine said, “We don’t have privacy with him around. Why bother putting up an act?”
Drake was speechless.
With Josh’s identity in mind, Drake had a mini heart attack. Would Josh dig into all his deepest and darkest secrets too?
While Josh may be in the intelligence business, he was only interested in learning more about Drake’s sister.
Josh would only go as far as to get a feel of Drake’s character and likings before pandering to Drake’s needs. It was a strategy to win Drake’s favor.
It would not take long for Josh to get the girl if he got his future brother- and parents- in–law on his side.
