I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith’s heart raced, her nerves on edge.

At that moment, she thought she wouldn’t survive, hence the words she spoke.

Did he really hear everything?

Did he truly hear?

Meredith quickly played dumb and asked, “What did I say?”

In truth, Terrence Sterling didn’t really catch it all. During the emergency, he had no mind to listen to what Meredith was saying.

He just remembered that something was said.

Terrence Sterling simply watched her quietly, this woman, pretending again.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

He also asked, “What do you think?”

“Oh… I think I did say something.” Meredith said, as if just recalling it. “I was so scared at the time, I said I was afraid of dying, didn’t want to die. Luckily, we both made it out unscathed, blessed by the heavens.”

Terrence Sterling stared deeply at her, noticing bloodstains on her clothes.

He didn’t press further, “Are you injured anywhere? Let’s get you checked.”

“I’m fine, tough as nails, no harm done, it’s all your blood on my clothes.” Meredith felt fine, and she dared not get a checkup, lest Terrence Sterling discover her pregnancy.

For now, she thought she could keep it a secret.

Terrence Sterling furrowed his brows slightly, “No matter how tough you are, in such a big accident, how could you be alright? Get a checkup, the company will pay for that.”

“I really don’t need it, I’m fine.” Meredith changed the subject, “By the way, Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Wooten called earlier. I told her about your accident, you have several missed calls on your phone.”

Meredith dared not answer those missed calls, all from Ravenwood Hall.

Terrence Sterling’s voice was heavy, “Give me the phone.”

If he didn’t return a call, within an hour, their people would show up.

Meredith quickly handed him the phone.

Terrence Sterling returned the call to Ravenwood Hall. They had already set out, but Terrence Sterling sternly stopped them and told them to return.

Meredith listened nearby, and as Terrence Sterling finished the call, she immediately reached for the phone.

“Mr. Sterling, why don’t you lie down and rest a bit?”

Terrence Sterling nodded.

Meredith fetched a pillow, propped it behind Terrence Sterling’s back, and adjusted the hospital bed slightly.

Watching her busy herself for him, looking very anxious, Terrence Sterling was touched.

“Miss Florrick, why were you crying just now?” Terrence Sterling asked. “You seemed to say that if I died, what would you do? It seems that I am important to Miss Florrick? Quite surprising.”

Even if it were Rick or Linda here today, under such circumstances, they wouldn’t cry, let alone cry as much as Meredith did.

Those unaware might think there was something between them.

Meredith felt a bit embarrassed thinking back to earlier.

Terrence Sterling might have been eavesdropping behind her for who knows how long, luckily, she didn’t mention the baby.

Meredith flattered, “Mr. Sterling, you are indeed important to me.”

“Oh?” Terrence Sterling was interested, “Tell me, how important am I to you?”

Meredith said, “I was on a business trip with Mr. Sterling, I was fine coming back, but you had an accident. Would your family let me off? I won’t be able to survive in Auroraville in the future, your family will blacklist me, maybe even make me accompany you in your burial.”

Meredith spoke solemnly, and Terrence Sterling glanced at her with indifference, “So it seems, Miss Florrick, you are indeed afraid of death.”

He said this, but didn’t fully believe her words, only half trusting.

“Life is precious, of course I value it.” Meredith pulled up a chair and sat down, tired from the day’s events, and no longer concerned about hierarchies.

Thinking about the scene of the accident, Meredith asked with lingering fear, “Mr. Sterling, why did you, in that critical moment, steer the car into the tree with the driver’s side, bringing the car to a halt?”

He would have been safer if he had used the passenger side to crash.

Terrence Sterling also thought about the scene at the time, it was human instinct to protect oneself. He didn’t know why he chose to turn the wheel entirely and hit with the driver’s side.

Terrence Sterling had no answer for himself.

Terrence Sterling replied nonchalantly, “Didn’t think much about it.”
