I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith was a bit curious about what Terrence Sterling’s girlfriend looked like. He pampered her so much. He would even give gifts for Valentine’s Day, regardless of the price.

After Rick reported and Terrence headed to a meeting, Meredith continued working on the proposal.

Just before the time she was supposed to go home, she finally completed it, took a deep breath, checked it again, and was satisfied with it.

At that moment, Meredith’s phone rang, and seeing the caller ID, she answered it immediately.

“Justin,” Meredith’s voice cheerful. “You’re back?”

On the other end of the line, a man’s gentle voice replied, “Yes, I’m back. You should be getting off work soon, right? I’m downstairs at your company building. Let’s have dinner tonight.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, I should be off work on time,” Meredith said. “A lot has happened these days; I got a promotion, Fiona found a boyfriend and moved out…”

Meredith briefly explained the situation. Justin Hann, Meredith, and Fiona all came from the same orphanage.

Justin Hann is now a lawyer working in a law firm.

“So much has happened?” Justin Hann said. “We can catch up when we meet.”

“Yeah, call Fiona, ask her to come out for dinner. She will listens to you, and you can also ask about her boyfriend’s information. I’m worried she might be getting deceived,” Meredith said as she organized her materials. “Tonight, I’m treating, I told Fiona before that once you’re back, I’ll treat you both to dinner. Let’s stick to that.”

While on the call, Meredith glanced up and saw Terrence Sterling walking in. She quickly said to Justin Hann, “I’ll talk to you later, my boss is here,” and hung up.

Meredith stood obediently on the side, waiting with a respectful demeanor as Terrence Sterling walked past her towards the desk.

“Mr. Sterling, this is the proposal I drafted,” Meredith followed, handing over the freshly written proposal.

Terrence Sterling lightly tapped the table with his index finger expressionlessly and said, “Leave it there.”

His gaze stayed on the computer screen, not even looking at Meredith, with a slightly cold demeanor emanating an intimidating aura.

Was the meeting not going well?

Meredith was waiting for Terrence Sterling to review the proposal; she wanted to leave on time.

Now that Terrence Sterling didn’t seem to want to read her proposal at all, Meredith knew she couldn’t leave on time today.

Without disturbing Terrence Sterling, Meredith quietly walked to the side, turned her back to him, and texted Justin Hann: “I might have to work late today, will be delayed, my boss is in a bad mood.”

Terrence Sterling noticed Meredith’s actions. Those eagle-like eyes of his had already deciphered Meredith’s thoughts.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

He had been standing outside and watching earlier when Meredith was on the phone. Though he couldn’t hear what she said, her expression revealed her happy mood.

This was the first time he saw her smile so genuinely, relaxed, and carefree, all from the bottom of her heart. In front of him, she always wore a masquerade, very fake.

Last time, she mentioned having a fiance. It seemed that the call was from her fiance; otherwise, why would she be smiling so happily?

The way she looked, eagerly looking forward to their date after work, was just like that of a couple in love.

Just as Meredith finished sending the message, Terrence Sterling’s chilling voice rang out, “Meredith, tidy up and call John, we’re leaving in ten minutes, you’re coming with me tonight.”

Stunned by his call, Meredith looked up. Was she supposed to accompany him again?

There didn’t seem to be any plans for this evening. Meredith knew Terrence Sterling’s schedule by heart.

Taking a deep breath, she found his intentions unpredictable.

“Yes, Mr. Sterling.”

Meredith quickly went downstairs to inform the driver, John, and also greeted Justin.

It seemed like tonight’s dinner would have to be canceled.

Justin was already waiting downstairs; Meredith spotted his car and walked over with a smile.

As he got out of the car in a suit, Justin handed a gift to Meredith. “Here, see if you like it.”

“Thank you.” Meredith accepted the gift. Every time Justin traveled, he would bring gifts for her and Fiona. She didn’t read too much into it.

“I can’t make it tonight. You go home first; I have to go with my boss for a business dinner. We’ll make plans for another day.”

As the horn sounded, urging Meredith on, she turned around to see Terrence Sterling already waiting in the car. Without saying much to Justin, she returned the gift, saying, “I can’t carry it right now; you keep it, and you can drop it off at my place some other day.”

Without waiting for Justin’s response, Meredith turned and walked towards Terrence Sterling’s car.

Opening the car door, she sat down. “Mr. Sterling.”

As soon as Meredith got in, she felt a sudden drop in pressure. Was the air conditioning on? Why was it so cold in the car?

Glancing at the central screen of the car, she realized the air conditioning wasn’t on.

“Is that your fiance?” Terrence Sterling asked abruptly.

“Huh?” Meredith was taken aback, then quickly replied, “Yes, that’s right.”
