That Day When I Got Married to My Boss at the Blind Date

Two hours ago, the seawater poured in, engulfing Josie’s mouth and nose, reaching up to her head. She gave up struggling. Just when she thought she was about to lose her life there, a force came from beneath the water. It was a person!

The stranger was fully equipped and signaled to Josie that he was an ally. He took the lead in fitting her with another set of diving gear, then swam to the surface. He cut off the chain that was binding her and, holding onto her, began to swim downward.

Surprise flashed across Josie’s face as she gestured toward the stranger, demanding, “Who are you?”

The stranger gripped her hand tightly, swimming back the way they came. There were people waiting for them at the entrance, and they quickly made it ashore.

Well, that wasn’t true. They were still in the ship, inside a secret room undiscovered by anyone.

After being rescued, Josie removed her diving gear, taking in deep breaths. It took her a while to recover before she finally asked, “Who are you? Why did you save me?”

The stranger also removed their gear, their face was resolute yet refined. “We were assigned by Mr. Russell to infiltrate this ship undercover. We’ve received orders from above that neither you nor him can come to harm!”
