The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 656

Chapter 656 Temptress

Morgan’s phone lay untouched on the edge of the bathtub, the message from Josie still illuminated on the screen. He had not saved her contact; the location in Wavery displayed on the screen was enough for him to recognize the sender.

Laura, on the other hand, was puzzled by the unexpected message. An unsettling feeling crept over her, like a whisper of foreboding that sent shivers down her spine. “Who is this?” she asked, seeking an explanation.

Morgan’s lips curved into a scornful smile, his demeanor now devoid of the compassionate psychiatrist he had portrayed. “Does anyone else in this world care enough about you to make an effort to look for you?” he retorted mockingly.

His façade as a gentle psychiatrist had dropped, and he had no desire to play the role of her savior. He revealed his true colors without a shred of mercy.

The puzzle pieces fell into place as Laura’s mind connected the dots. Her voice quivered as she confronted Morgan, “It’s… Josie! You know Josie!”

Memories surged through her like a tidal wave-Josie’s odd behavior whenever Morgan’s name was mentioned, the advice he gave her to hinder Dexter’s search for Josie, and the countless times he must have manipulated their interactions to serve his hidden agenda.

Morgan maintained a composed demeanor, not revealing any emotions, even with Laura’s accusations.

“So… you stayed in Wavery for Josie and approached me for Josie too…” The realization hit her like a ton of bricks, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Laura had unknowingly become a pawn in his elaborate game, a mere tool for him to manipulate and use to his advantage.

And Laura, a pawn in the scheme, had foolishly fallen in love with the mastermind behind it all.

“Why…” her voice quivered with disbelief and hurt.

Morgan’s grip on her tightened, pulling her closer, but the warmth of his embrace offered no solace. “I’ve known Josie even before, Dexter,” he whispered softly, his breath brushing against her ear. “Do you want to hear our story? It’s quite the romantic tale.”

Laura’s quivering intensified as his words washed over her, leaving her exposed and vulnerable.

In the bustling airport of Wavery, passengers bustled about, a mix of anticipation and reunions filling the air. Among the crowd, Josie stood with eager eyes. She had obtained Dexter’s flight information from Larry in advance, unable to bear the thought of waiting a moment longer.

Dexter’s surprise was evident in his eyes when he spotted her approaching him. Josie rushed towards him and threw herself into his arms. He held her tightly, feeling an overwhelming sense of belonging.

“Why did you come?” Dexter inquired, his voice filled with curiosity and affection.

A smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and she looked up at him, her eyes shining with adoration. “I told you, one day without seeing you feels like an eternity.”
