Chapter 89


    Back in the bookshop near Wiltspoon School, Serenity sat behind the cash register, scrolling on her


    phone reading news 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 be 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.


    “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-cor worker in a major group, he was working for someone.


    “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’dpare 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 eximed, “Seren, check out Twitter.”


    “What’s the big news?” Serenity spared her a nce but nothing more.


    She had a Twitter ount, but she rarely managed it as her number of followers were only in the double


    digits.


    asionally, she would tweet about her crafts since her followers were loyal customers.


    “Someone dered 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.


    Why would she waste time on a figure who yed no part in her life?


    “I heard that the heir’s not short of 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 sister of 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 thest 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.Stone was a real-life character out of the romance novels – young, handsome, and


    rich.
