The Epic Blind Date with My Boss

Upon returning to her residence, Josie hadn’t anticipated encountering Zach in the courtyard.

Leaning against the magnolia tree, he idly scrolled through his phone, bored. Upon hearing footsteps, he glanced up abruptly.

Josie’s patience wore thin. “When I resided here, you weren’t even born.”

Josie felt a twinge of discomfort, but she refused to let it surface. Instead, she offered a smile. “Zach, you haven’t changed a bit in these two years.”
