Chapter 65
Meanwhile, Zachary got to work and dropped the secretary an instruction on his way to his office.
"Tell the administrative executive to see me."
The secretary made an internal call to the administrative executive, Josh Bucham.
"Mr.Bucham, Mr.York wants to see you in his office."
Josh took the request without a question and hung up.
A few minutes later, Josh knocked on the CEO's office and entered the room.
Zachary was knee-deep in his paperwork.
With Josh stepping into the office, Zachary put down his pen and beckoned him to come over.
"You need me for something?"
Josh and Zachary graduated from the same college.
Knowing well what Josh was capable of, Zachary signed him to the company.
Josh proved his worth as an elite at York Corporation, paving his way up to the position as Zachary's administrative executive.
Josh had Zachary’s utmost trust.
"Yeah, but it's for something personal.I need a minute alone with you."
Josh took a seat and said with a smile, "You could've said that on the phone."
Although Josh was an administrative executive, Zachary would sometimes entrust him with personal affairs.
Josh was used to it.
"Can you investigate something for me?"
"Now that you've mentioned it, I've done a lot of legwork for you.You can tell me straight what it's about."
The Buchams were an elusive and wealthy family, albeit discreet and more so than the Yorks.
Rarely anyone knew that the Buchams were high up on the social ladder.
Since Josh was not the firstborn of his generation, he did not have to assume responsibility as the head of household.
Nevertheless, his words carried weight among his siblings, and the present head had much confidence in Josh.
The Buchams had a knack for digging out information, and their network extended far and wide to many major cities.
This was especially true in their home base, Wiltspoon.
They could track down whatever they wanted to know.
Of course, not everybody had the privilege to access the Buchams’ network of information.
Since Zachary had a personal and work relationship with Josh, plus the head of the Buchams held Zachary in high regard, the Buchams would do their best to help whenever Zachary asked.
"Remember I told you about Nana nagging me to marry her lifesaver?"
"Yeah.Didn't you marry her? What? Is your Nana nagging you to take in a second wife?"
Josh poked fun.
Zachary winced his face.
"One is the limit.The men in my family can't have another woman."
"You're interested in your wife, so you want me to look into her past?"
"Well, I won't say I'm interested.I just thought I should learn more about her now that we're married.I need information on her family background."
Serenity told Zachary a little about the Hunts but not the full picture, so Zachary got Josh to do the legwork.
Zachary needed to know what he was getting into before he could help Serenity when she was in trouble.
That was right.
Zachary must remind himself not to act on impulse and fling out accusations like he did the last time.
Look where it got him.
"You know, you could learn more about her family if you take the time to get to know her."
It seemed like the easiest solution in Josh's eyes.
Well, the investigation would not require Josh to use his family’s network when he could just assign a few of his men to snoop around.
As far as he knew, Zachary's wife was an ordinary woman. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Grandma May was drawn to the woman's heart of gold after the latter saved her life.
The woman who received Grandma May's stamp of approval must be tight-minded.
Josh dared say that his old friend would fall for the woman in no time.
"She might run into some problems.
I need to get to the bottom of the matter before I can help her"
Josh was intrigued.
"Why? Have you fallen in love with her? You’re taking her side already."
"It doesn't matter whether I love her.She's my wife.Even though its only by name, she's still my woman.I'll protect her from trouble, not because of my feelings for her, but for my pride as a man."
Josh chuckled.
"You're only fooling yourself."
