Remy took out the invitation that his eldest brother asked him to bring over. Ben Young–Johnson couriered the invitation to his other business partners, but Remy delivered the invitation to Zachary because he happened to be in Wiltspoon. Since Remy was solely responsible for the Wiltspoon branch of his company, he usually stayed in Wiltspoon.
That was why Ben asked Remy to send the invitation to Zachary in person.
“My eldest brother wanted to come over in person, but he was tremendously busy with work. There were many things waiting for him to deal with. Since I happened to be here, he asked me to bring this invitation to you. He also extended his apologies.”
Zachary accepted the invitation and said understandingly, “I understand Mr. Young–Johnson’s situation, and there’s no need. for him to apologize. It’s all the same for you to bring it over.”
He opened the invitation and looked at the date. The wedding was set on the 26th of December, which was right around New Year’s Eve.
That was still over a month away.
Ben distributed the invitations so quickly that Zachary could tell he was in a hurry to hold a wedding.
Zachary heard that Ben and his wife also married on impulse. Why had these eligible bachelors been going for impulse marriages?
It might be because they were swarmed with work. They held high positions in society and had a high net worth, so they were afraid that others would target them for their status and money. Thus, they did not dare to simply fall in love and hid their identity to marry on impulse.
If a woman could fall in love with them when they were not rich, she would love them just as well when she found out they were rich. They could also know that the woman did not marry them for money, but for love.
However, Ben and his wife, Jane Murphy, had known each other for more than ten years. Zachary heard that Ben had set his eyes on Jane long ago and slowly tricked Jane into being his wife.
Zachary thought of himself and Serenity. They were the true definition of impulse marriage as they had no feelings for each other when they carried at first sight.
Before they got their marriage license, Zachary was wary about Serenity and even suspected she was in it for the money. However, reality proved that Zachary was overly cautious and overthinking the situation. “I will definitely be at Mr. Young–Johnson’s wedding.” Zachary promised he would attend Ben and Jane’s wedding. Remy said with a smile, “Thank you, Mr. York.”
Zachary said, “I’ve always looked up to Mr. Young–Johnson and was hoping for a chance to meet him. You’ve given me this opportunity.”
Remy smiled. “My eldest brother has also admired you for a while, Mr. York.”
They exchanged pleasantries.
Remy came over to Zachary’s office to deliver his brother’s wedding invitation. Since it had been delivered, Remy did not stay long because he was busy. He said, “Mr. York, Mr. Bucham, I have something else to attend to, so I’ll get going now. If you have time in the evening, we can have dinner together. My treat.”
Josh smiled. “I’m fine anytime, but Mr. York might not be free.”
Zachary interrupted. “I’ll buy you dinner some other day, Mr. Johnson.”
Zachary had plans with his wife tonight.
Remy smiled. “Okay, then. I’ll wait for your call.”
He stood up.
Zachary and Josh both got up and walked Remy out of the office together.
“Mr. York, Mr. Bucham, you don’t have to send me off.” Remy stopped at the door of the office and asked the two men to stay.
Zachary and Josh stood at the door and watched as Remy left with his bodyguards.
When Remy was no longer in sight, Josh nudged his friend and asked for gossip. “Where are you going tonight? You dumped all your socializing events on me and didn’t even want to go to dinner with Mr. Johnson.
“Zachary, I feel like I must’ve owed you so much in our past life. that I have to slave away for you in this life. I’m like a dog that will be there for you whenever you need me.”
Zachary turned around and walked inside.
“You can only realize your true value when you’re with me. I’ve provided you with a stage so you can perform well.”
Josh giggled and closed the door.
“Are you going on a date with your wife?”
“Yes. Why, do you want to be a third wheel? Or are you jealous? Would you like me to arrange a blind date for you so you can get married at first sight too?”
Josh quickly said, “I’m quite tactful, so I won’t be your third wheel. Although I really want to join, I’ll stay away this time for the sake of your happiness.
“Well, I’m not jealous. You don’t even look that happy now,
and a while ago, you were torturing everyone in the company with your stone face.”
Josh sat opposite his friend and said with a smile, “Even if I want to get married, will you be able to arrange a blind date for me? Your grandma had to force you into an impulse marriage. How many unmarried young women do you actually know?”
Zachary rolled his eyes at Josh. “I happen to know an unmarried young woman. Based on my observation, she’s quite nice and has a decent family background. Her family is rich. She’s righteous, loyal, and most importantly, pretty. She matches you well.”
Josh was curious. “Who?”
“My wife’s best friend, Jasmine Sox.”
Josh replied, “Oh, her…”
He looked hesitant.
Zachary was puzzled and asked him, “What’s with your expression?”
“You don’t know because you don’t attend parties. Jasmine Sox drank too much at Mrs. Dawson’s birthday party last time, and do you know what she did? She just slept on the floor. Everyone there was stunned.”
Josh said, “I heard about it even though I wasn’t there. Mrs. Lowe was the one who brought Jasmine to the banquet that time, so she quickly dragged Jasmine away.”
Zachary was speechless.
He heard Serenity mention occasionally that Jasmine’s family kept urging her to get married. Last time, Serenity even accompanied Jasmine on a blind date at Beans and Cream.
Did Jasmine do that at Mrs. Dawson’s birthday party on purpose for the sake of her peace and quiet? That way, her family would not urge her to marry.
“Ms. Sox was a sensation for lying on the floor. Everyone in our circle heard about this girl.”
Josh smiled. “The girls in our circle won’t just lie on the floor even if they’re drunk because etiquette is engraved in their bones. They will still look ele int when drunk.”
After a moment of silence, Zachary asked his friend, “Then do you like an elegant drunk or a wild drunk?”
“I haven’t thought about this. But if you really want to arrange a blind date for me, go for it. I’ll meet Ms. Sox and check out how high her standards are. Remember not to tell her my true identity.”
“You’re learning from me, huh?” “Yeah, am I not allowed to copy you?”
