Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 517 Tragic Fate

Furrowing his brows, Michael’s expression darkened. “I know. But there’s nothing I can do about that. After all, I can’t really bring myself to reject Alicia’s request after seeing that she’s worried sick of Janette,” I lamented resignedly.

Naturally, I was well aware of how tough it was to track down anyone without any clue. Nonetheless, I had no choice but to keep on trying my best as there was no other way.

“Let’s call it a night. I’ll seek help from the police tomorrow. I bet it’s a piece of cake for them to trace her whereabouts with their advanced tracking system,” he reassured me.

I could only give in to him and nodded. “All right. It looks like that’s the only way.”

Deep down, I knew it was pointless for us to waste time trying to trace Janette’s whereabouts aimlessly that night.

Back at the Shaw residence, I drifted off not long after flinging myself on my bed. What had transpired earlier had worn me down. It was indeed a lot more tiring than a working day.

Preoccupied with Janette’s disappearance, I woke up early the following morning. Feeling uneasy, I could not sleep well the previous night.

Surprisingly, Michael woke up even earlier than I. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he wrapped his arms around me and uttered gently, “It’s still early. You can still sleep for a while more. I’ve called the police station to lodge a report, and they’ve taken prompt action. I believe they’ll be able to find a clue soon.”

The sheer gentleness in his tone was able to put me at ease almost immediately. Initially, I was worried that Janette might be in danger as she was completely unfamiliar with the city.

“I’m thankful that you’re alongside me. Regardless of any hardships that I encounter, you’re always helping me to get the matter resolved,” I mumbled, wrapping my arms around Michael’s waist with my eyes closed in relief. As long as Michael was with me, there was nothing unsolvable. Unequivocally, having him by my side was the most blissful thing in my life.
