I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Once upon a time, when Meredith had a slight cold or a little injury, Fiona would be very anxious and worried. But now, when she was almost at death’s door, Fiona didn’t show an ounce of concern. Her tone seemed to blame Meredith for something.

“Meredith, how serious is your boss’s injury?” Fiona asked, “Where exactly is he injured?”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Meredith just looked at Fiona and asked back, “Fiona, why are you so concerned about my boss?”

Fiona was caught off guard and faltered, blinking as she said, “You got into an accident with your boss. What if his family comes after you? Of course, I need to know.”

Was that the truth? Meredith felt like it wasn’t that simple. Fiona must be hiding something from her.

Meredith tentatively asked, “My boss is in the front ward, Fiona, would you like to go and see him?”

With Meredith around, Fiona didn’t dare to leave. “No need, he’s your boss, and I don’t know Mr. Sterling. Why would I go see him?” Fiona asked uneasily, “Meredith, are you going to stay in the hospital tonight?”

“Yeah,” Meredith said, “I should. I can’t leave my boss and go back to the hotel alone.”

Upon hearing this, Fiona felt a pang of jealousy. She had rushed an hour on the train to take care of Terrence Sterling and build a relationship. But with Meredith in the way, how could she build a relationship with Terrence Sterling?

Fiona had no choice. She couldn’t get rid of Meredith. Meredith asked again, “Fiona, why are you here in Meriton?”

“I… came here with a friend for a trip,” Fiona made up an excuse, “My friend got injured, so I came to see him.”

“A friend? What friend?” Meredith was curious, “Fiona, let me meet your friend.”

“My friend is from high society. He never socializes with people outside the circle.”

Implying that Meredith was from a lower class and not qualified enough.

Just when Meredith had calmed down, she almost lost her temper again. At that moment, she suddenly realized that she and Fiona were slowly drifting apart. Fiona constantly reminded her that they were not from the same world. If she continued to push, people might think she had ulterior motives.

Fiona kept flaunting, warning Meredith that they were not from the same world. If she continued to push, people might think she had ulterior motives.

Annoyed, Meredith said, “Fiona, don’t worry, I have no intention of climbing higher. If you think I am no longer qualified to be your sister, then let’s not associate in the future.”

Fiona quickly explained, “Meredith, that’s not what I meant… It’s my friend, he cares a lot. How could I not care?”

Now was not the time to argue with Meredith. “You should go see your friend. I need to go back to the ward to take care of Mr. Sterling,” Meredith said, not in the mood to talk to Fiona anymore.

“Fiona,” she stopped her, “Do you… like Mr. Sterling? I heard from Justin that you are very close to your boss, and now you are taking care of him. When Mr. Sterling went on a business trip, why did he only bring you? Does he like you too?”

Meredith found it absurd. How could Terrence Sterling like her? But then, she thought of the critical moment when Terrence Sterling tried his best to ensure her safety during the accident, their night together, and the baby in her belly…

She suddenly realized that at some point, she had developed different feelings for Terrence Sterling. But knowing they were from two different worlds, and with Terrence Sterling having a girlfriend who didn’t like kids, she could only bury these feelings deep down.

“Fiona, you are mistaken. Mr. Sterling and I have a superior-subordinate relationship,” Meredith emphasized, “Mr. Sterling has a girlfriend.”

These words were also a self-admonition. Terrence Sterling had a girlfriend, he didn’t like kids, their statuses were different, and there would be no future between them.

Fiona visibly relaxed, as long as Meredith didn’t like Terrence Sterling. But she also needed to be cautious and suggested, “Meredith, don’t be mad at me for being nosy. Haven’t you noticed, Justin has always liked you. His feelings for you are obvious, can’t you see it?”
