I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith gagged for a while, unable to vomit anything, but the smell of the pickles made her very uncomfortable.

“Linda, I’m sorry.” Meredith felt embarrassed. Her colleague had given her something, and she ended up vomiting in front of her. Wasn’t that rude enough?

Linda was a veteran beside Terrence Sterling. If she offended her, Linda could easily make things difficult for her.

“Meredith, do you not like this smell?” Linda asked, not at all angry. “Or are you feeling unwell somewhere else?”

Covering her nose, Meredith replied, “I don’t know why, but recently I sometimes have this gag reflex. I can’t stand certain smells.”

“Meredith, are you pregnant?” Their colleague Sasha from the Secretary’s office walked in from outside, full of gossip. “Your reaction is just like my sister-in-law’s, she just got pregnant and has been gagging and vomiting every day, can’t stand any strange smell.”

Pregnant?

Her words scared Meredith quite a bit, freezing her entire being.

There were no secrets in the office; Meredith had previously rambled about having a fiance, and everyone thought she really did. Sometimes when Justin picked her up downstairs at the company, it only confirmed this.

It was precisely because Meredith had a fiance that her colleagues in the Secretary’s office were so friendly with her. With Meredith being so beautiful, there was bound to be some intrigue where conflicts of interest arose. But since Meredith was taken, there was no threat.

Linda asked, “Meredith, when is your period due? Could you really be pregnant?”

“P-Period.” Meredith’s mind was in disarray, her hands and feet were a bit cold. She was scared, scared of being pregnant.

It was impossible for her and Terrence Sterling; she was just settling down now. If a child suddenly popped up, everything would be thrown into chaos.

Seeing her in a state of confusion, Sasha said, “I’m pretty sure you are, Meredith. Why don’t you go to the hospital for a check-up? The hospital isn’t closed yet.”

For Meredith to sneak away from the company even for a few hours, no one would say anything. So, she quietly left the office.

In Terrence Sterling’s office.

Terrence Sterling was working when Harvey Fieldmouse came in and didn’t see Meredith. He asked, “Terry, where’s Miss Florrick? Haven’t seen her in a long time.”

“Why are you so concerned about her?” Terrence Sterling calmly flipped through some documents.

“Just curious.” Harvey joked casually, “Terry, don’t be so stingy. I won’t poach her, I just think Miss Florrick is fun and interesting. She dares to flirt with you and still stays, she’s the first to do so.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“She’s just a secretary at Sterling Corporation.” Terrence Sterling corrected, emphasizing, “If you want to find her outside of work hours, I have no right to intervene.”

Harvey’s eyes lit up, “Terry, don’t you like Miss Florrick? Should I pursue her? I’ll invite Miss Florrick to dinner tonight, you can’t interfere.”

“Have at it.” Terrence Sterling’s face remained cool and handsome. “Just a reminder, Miss Florrick has a fiance.”

“I don’t care.” Harvey replied, unbothered. “Even if she had a husband, I wouldn’t hesitate. It’s just a moral issue, not illegal.”

Terrence Sterling: “…”

“Mr. Sterling, here’s the quote you asked for.” Linda walked in and respectfully handed the quote to Terrence Sterling.

“Okay.” Terrence Sterling took it and glanced at it.

Harvey leaned in next to Linda, “Linda, is Miss Florrick here? I want to ask her out for dinner.”

Linda replied, “Miss Florrick has left. She’s not feeling well, she probably went to the hospital.”

She didn’t know whether Meredith is pregnant, and she sure wouldn’t speak out of turn. But Meredith left without taking leave, and Linda was worried about the boss, so she offered a helping hand.
