I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith had too many hesitations.

If she had someone backing her up, if she had enough capital, she would have tried with Terrence Sterling.

Even if there was no result, she wouldn’t mind.

But not now, their identities were too disparate, and he had a girlfriend, which was her bottom line.

After a long period of calm, Meredith finally came out of the bathroom.

Terrence Sterling sat on the caregiver’s bed smoking, trying to calm himself as well.

Upon hearing footsteps, Terrence Sterling turned to look at her, stubbing out the cigarette in his hand.

“You sleep on the bed, it’s softer.”

Meredith glanced at the bed, feeling embarrassed. How could she, he was the patient.

“Mr. Sterling, there’s no need, you sleep in the bed, I’ll sleep here.”

Terrence Sterling spoke firmly, “This is an order.”

With that, he lay down on the sofa, leaving Meredith no choice but to sleep on the bed.

Meredith felt guilty, Terrence Sterling had saved her with his life, and now she was occupying his bed, it was truly a sin.

She lay down, avoiding looking towards Terrence Sterling, and turned her back to him.

Neither of them spoke again, the ward was very quiet. At first, Meredith couldn’t fall asleep, still reminiscing about the kiss from earlier. But as the night wore on, sleepiness overcame her, and she drifted off.

Terrence Sterling, on the other hand, couldn’t sleep. He stared at Meredith on the hospital bed, the images from before playing over in his mind.

That intense feeling came back, the desire to possess her.

The next day.

Meredith was awakened by a nurse.

“Where’s the patient?”

Meredith looked at the sofa and realized Terrence Sterling wasn’t there.

Even injured, he couldn’t sit still, where had he run off to?

“I’ll go find him,” Meredith said.

The nurse smiled, “Your boyfriend is really nice, he hurt himself and left the bed for you.”

Meredith felt a bit embarrassed, “Actually, he…”

Before Meredith could explain, Terrence Sterling returned from outside.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Meredith got off the bed, “Mr. Sterling, where did you go?”

“Just went for a walk,” Terrence Sterling replied, as he walked back in and heard the nurse’s words.

Meredith returned the bed to Terrence Sterling, and after a quick check-up from the nurse, she left.

“Mr. Sterling, hungry?” Meredith asked, “I’ll go buy something to eat.”

Terrence Sterling, still the cold and indifferent CEO, said, “Also, check out of the hospital, we’re going back to Auroraville this afternoon.”

“Going back this afternoon?” Meredith asked, “The doctor agreed? You’re allowed to be discharged? What about Mason Sterling? Not being investigated anymore?”

“He’s been locked up,” Terrence Sterling said lightly, “Things are stirring at Ravenwood Hall, I need to go back.”

Meredith was stunned, Terrence Sterling was really carrying out what he said, he had quickly sent Mason Sterling away.

No wonder there was a commotion at Ravenwood Hall.

“Alright, Mr. Sterling, I’ll go take care of it right away.”

They had to take the train back, as Terrence Sterling was injured and Meredith couldn’t drive.

The train ride was quick, and by three o’clock in the afternoon, they had arrived in Auroraville.

Rick was waiting for them at the train station exit, “Mr. Sterling, Miss Florrick.”

Seeing the injury on Terrence Sterling’s head, Rick asked, concerned, “Mr. Sterling, the head wound, is it okay?”

“It’s nothing major,” Terrence Sterling replied as he got into the car.

Meredith followed suit.

Suddenly, Terrence Sterling said, “First drop Miss Florrick off, then we’ll go to Ravenwood Hall.”

Meredith immediately said, “Mr. Sterling, I’ll accompany you to Ravenwood Hall.”

Terrence Sterling smirked, “Not afraid of being skinned by those people at Ravenwood Hall?”

Meredith hesitated, “…”

“Mr. Sterling, as your subordinate, it’s working hours now, it’s my duty to accompany you.”

“No need for you to come,” Terrence Sterling said sternly, “Take two days off.”

This happiness came too suddenly.

Meredith wanted to say more, but Rick interjected, “Miss Florrick, I’ll accompany Mr. Sterling, you go back to Meriton, you’ve worked hard, take a break for two days.”

Meredith didn’t say anything further, “Then please take me to Briarcliff Lofts.”

The address struck Terrence Sterling as somewhat familiar.

When they arrived at Briarcliff Lofts, Terrence Sterling asked, “You live here too?”

Terrence Sterling had been here before, Fiona lived here.

Also?

Meredith was puzzled, did Terrence Sterling know more people who lived here?

It was a very ordinary old neighborhood, with cheap rent, which was why Meredith had been living here all along.

“Yeah, why?” Meredith asked, “Mr. Sterling, do you have friends living here?”
