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 Burcham. “Mr. Burcham, 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.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJosh 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 Burcham’s were an elusive and wealthy family, albeit discreet and more so than the York’s Rarely
anyone knew that the Burcham’s 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat 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.
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 rightminded. 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 it’s 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.”
