I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

She really is a great secretary, huh?

Terrence Sterling felt inexplicably irritated, tossing the book in his hand onto the table with a loud thud before getting up and walking out.

That loud thud made Meredith’s heart skip a beat.

Had she irritated her boss just like that? Would she lose her job?

Just then, she heard Mrs. Wooten’s voice in the hallway: “Mr. Sterling, Miss Woods is not feeling well, she looks very distressed, you should go check on her.”

Soon after, Terrence Sterling’s hurried footsteps followed.

Meredith breathed a sigh of relief in secret. Thank you, Miss Woods! It was just about time, otherwise this night would have been unbearable.

Not long after, she heard more urgent footsteps, as if going downstairs.

Meredith walked to the window and saw Terrence Sterling assisting his girlfriend into a car, heading to the hospital.

Since Fiona had her back to Meredith, and Terrence Sterling’s half body was blocking her view, Meredith did not see Fiona’s face.

She was draped in Terrence Sterling’s coat, showing how much he cared for this girlfriend.

The car drove off, and Meredith returned to her seat to continue work on the proposal. If she finished early, she could at least go home and get some rest.

Halfway through the proposal, Mrs. Wooten came in to bring tea. Meredith asked, “Mrs. Wooten, did Mr. Sterling take Miss Woods to the hospital?”

“Yes, Miss Woods seemed in a lot of pain, and we are not sure what happened yet,” Mrs. Wooten replied. “Mr. Sterling is very worried about Miss Woods.”

Meredith smiled, “I can tell. Mrs. Wooten, you don’t have to serve me tea, you should go rest early, I’ll be done soon.”

“Alright, if you need anything, Miss Florrick, just let me know, I live on the first floor,” Mrs. Wooten was very nice.

“Thank you.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

After Mrs. Wooten left, Meredith’s phone buzzed, a message from Justin: Meredith, are you finished? When can you leave, I’m waiting for you outside Thornfield Gardens, right at the main entrance.

Justin was worried. A girl going to her boss’s house at this late hour? What if something happened.

Meredith didn’t expect Justin to still be there, she checked the time, it was already eleven o’clock, she would probably need another two hours to finish, and it would be hard to find a cab by then.

Meredith replied: Working on it, two hours.

Justin: I’ll wait for you.

At the hospital.

After Fiona was brought in by Terrence Sterling, the doctor immediately gave her a full body examination.

The examination revealed that Fiona had just eaten something that upset her stomach.

Fiona sat weakly on the hospital bed, looking pitiful, and said with tears in her eyes, “Mr. Sterling, I’m an orphan. Whenever I get sick, I have to tough it out on my own. I dare not even go to the hospital, afraid of spending more money, and no one cares about me. This is the first time someone has been so concerned about me, I am happy and I’m so moved.”

But in Terrence Sterling’s eyes, there was no pity, his tone indifferent, “The doctor said it’s nothing serious, just have some rest, and be careful with what you eat.”

“Mr. Sterling, you’re so good to me.” Fiona boldly threw herself into Terrence Sterling’s arms, only to be pushed away instinctively.

This time, Fiona didn’t have the scent of lilies on her, and he didn’t know why he was so repulsed, while when Meredith had thrown herself at him before, he had just instinctively caught her.

Terrence Sterling’s push left Fiona embarrassed, blushing and flustered, “Mr. Sterling.”

With a frown, Terrence Sterling said, “Get some rest.”

Saying that, Terrence Sterling wanted to leave, looking at Fiona, he felt an inexplicable sense of repulsion.

“Mr. Sterling,” Fiona called after him, “You don’t like me, so why did you take me home? You asked me to be your woman, but then why push me away?”

Terrence Sterling also felt conflicted, it was indeed him who had approached Fiona, but everything turned out completely different from what he had expected. Her approach made him repulsed, and he could not even find a trace of that night in her.

Terrence Sterling stood in place and said, “I did promise to compensate you. You can continue to stay at Thornfield Gardens, but don’t expect more than that. You can also leave Thornfield Gardens, and I will give you five million in compensation.”

In other words, Fiona could only get money from him, as for status, that was out of the question.

Terrence Sterling’s words shattered Fiona’s dreams, she asked unwillingly, “Do you like that Miss Florrick? It’s so late, and you brought her to Thornfield Gardens, do you like her?”
