Chapter 1655


    “Are you going home to get ready?” After pouring her heart out, Jasmine asked her best friend.


    Serenity responded, “I’ll send Sonny home first. He said he missed me after his ss ended, so Jim


    sent him over.”


    She had to apany her husband to attend the charity g at night, so it was inconvenient for her to


    bring Sonny along.


    “Hurry up and leave. I’ll be here to watch the store. It’s been a long time since Ist sat here. I wonder if


    those little monkeys miss me.” Jasmine referred to students as little monkeys.


    “Should I inform Mr. Bucham that you’re here watching the store?”


    Jasmine said, “No need. He knows about it. Look at that row of bodyguards. Even if I don’t tell him,


    won’t they do it? Josh won’t stop me from watching the store. All I do is use the cash register.”


    Serenityughed. “Fine. You stay here and watch the store. I’ll send Sonny back.”


    “Go ahead.”


    Serenity held her nephew and left the bookstore.


    After Serenity left, Jasmine immediately headed to the kitchen to look for ice cream in the fridge, but to


    no avail.


    She mumbled with disappointment, “The weather has been so hot, yet Seren doesn’t keep any ice


    cream in the fridge.”


    It was impossible for her to eat ice cream in the Buchams‘ residence. Everyone would forbid her from


    eating ice cream because it was cold.


    Even Jasmine’s mother reminded her not to eat too much ice cream to cool her body. It would be best


    not to eat it at all.


    Jasmine’s mother knew her best. Every year during the summertime, Jasmine would eat ice cream a


    few times a day when the weather was scorching hot.


    After searching the fridge for ice cream, she could not find any drinks. There were only vegetables and


    fruit.


    Disappointed, Jasmine shut the fridge door. Originally, she came to the store with the intention to


    satisfy her cravings, but she ended up finding nothing in the fridge.


    She turned around and walked out of the kitchen. She made her way to the counter to take a seat.


    After some thought, she left the counter and walked outside.


    The minute the bodyguards saw hering out, all of them fixed their eyes on her.


    “Don’t stand here. It’s hot. Find a shady spot to keep cool. You’ll catch the students‘ eye if you keep


    standing here. This will affect the business of the bookstore when school’s out.”


    At the sight of a row of tall and sturdy bodyguards with fierce expressions, the students would not dare


    enter the bookstore as they might assume that the bodyguards were gangsters.


    Previously, when Zachary stood in the store with a solemn expression, the students were so frightened


    that they hurried away.


    The bodyguards that Josh chose for Jasmine were sturdy and ferocious–looking. They were all


    dressed in ck, which was quite frightening.


    “Missus, we’re not afraid of heat. We can just sit at the entrance of the store,” a bodyguard replied to


    Jasmine on behalf of everyone.


    After keeping quiet for a while, Jasmine asked, “Don’t you find it hot? It’s over ny degrees during


    the day. Don’t you want to have some ice cream on such a hot day?”


    The bodyguards were in silence.


    “Boris.”


    Jasmine called out one of the bodyguards‘ names


    “Yes, Missus?” Boris responded politely.


    Jasmine said, “Wait a moment. I’m going to the store to get something.”


    She turned around and went into the store. She took out two hundred dors from her purse and


    walked out. When she handed the cash to Boris, Boris looked at her in bewilderment.

    “Let me treat you to some ice cream on such a hot day. Take this money and buy some ice cream from


    Perry’s shop. He sells a variety of ice cream. The expensive ice cream is tastier. You should eat the


    tastiest one.”


    Worried that the bodyguards did not dare spend too much money, Jasmine deliberately emphasized


    thest two sentences.


    “Missus, you don’t need to treat us. We’ll get it on our own if we feel like eating.”


    “Take the cash and buy some ice cream now. Everyone gets one.”


    Again, Jasmine stressed that everyone would get ice cream. She supposed that the bodyguards would


    get her one.


    Boris hesitated for a while and exchanged nces with his colleagues before taking Jasmine’s money.
