The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel - Chapter 469

Chapter 469 Laura's Disappearance Laura was still a no-show at the studio today. Josie had been trying to reach her to discuss some design details, but her calls went unanswered. Alice leaned in, curiosity evident on her face, "Still no luck getting in touch with her?" Josie nodded, growing increasingly concerned. It had been since the opening day that she last saw Laura.

While it wasn't mandatory for her as the boss to be present at the studio daily, Josie knew that Laura had always been dedicated to the studio's success and business. It was highly unusual for her to disappear like this. Recalling the injury she had noticed on Laura's arm during their last encounter, Josie felt unease. It had been days since she saw that injury, and she hadn't heard from Laura since then. "Never mind, I'll go find her," Josie said, feeling restless.

She quickly packed up and left the studio. But as she reached the elevator, the doors opened slowly, revealing a familiar figure. Josie was taken aback, "Zac… Olsen?" Since Josie had last laid eyes on him, he appeared noticeably more worn-out today, evident from the stubble on his chin and his disheveled appearance. He walked past Josie, made a beeline for the studio, and searched the premises.

Josie trailed behind him and inquired, "What are you looking for?" "Is Laura here?" he asked with a stern tone. Josie chuckled and retorted, "I was just about to ask you the same thing. Laura hasn't been here for days. Isn't she at home?" Zac's expression darkened, and the corners of his mouth drooped. Josie quickly grasped the situation and asked sharply, "What did you do to her?" Since marrying Zac, Laura hadn't been happy, and it didn't take much imagination to figure out why.

"That day, I lost control and accidentally hurt her, Zac recounted calmly. Josie raised an eyebrow, suspecting that this accident might not have been entirely unintentional. "Is this the first time you've hurt her?" Zac avoided eye contact and turned his face away. After that incident, Laura had promised her friends and family that she would avoid such extreme challenges, and she had indeed refrained from solo escapades for a long time. So why did she choose to venture alone to Norsturham now?
