A One Night Stand With My Boss

Everyone’s eyes were glued to the main entrance. They were anxiously waiting for their loved ones to appear.

“Hurry up! Why is it taking so long?” someone shouted impatiently.

“Oh, come on. The officers need time to handle things,” another person soothed.

“Drew will be out soon,” Claire said, gripping her mother’s hand tightly, with a hint of resolve flashing in her eyes.

Finally, the first group of employees released from the police station emerged through the doors. Their faces were unable to hide the excitement and thrill, as if they had been given a new lease on life.

“Oh, thank goodness! They’re finally out!” someone exclaimed joyfully.

“Look, there’s my daughter!” a person pointed out one of the employees.

The mother rushed forward to embrace her daughter tightly, wiping away tears. “Thank god you’re out.”

As more and more employees were released, the crowd’s mood lifted increasingly.

Time passed, but there was still no sign of Drew among those being released.

His family grew more anxious.

“Where is my son?” Riley started to fret.

“Officer, could you please tell us how much longer it will be?” someone asked the police.

“Please be patient, everyone. We are doing our best to process this quickly,” an officer reassured the crowd.

Batch after batch of employees were released, and the crowd at the police station dwindled significantly.

Just then, an officer suddenly announced, “Family members of those not released, please follow me to the station.”

The remaining families exchanged worried glances, sensing trouble. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Riley, panic-stricken, grasped at an officer’s arm, and his face was ashen.

“Why? Officer, my child hasn’t done anything wrong. He doesn’t know anything!”

The officer firmly removed Riley’s hand, saying sternly, “Please cooperate with our investigation.Line up and follow me inside.”

A few officers maintained order as the remaining families somberly lined up and followed them into the station.

Camila caught a glimpse of Lily’s former mother-in-law also in line. She realized that since Julian was an executive and Capital Solutions was in trouble, he couldn’t escape the situation. Fortunately, Lily had divorced him.

Camila, her mother, uncle, and grandmother followed the police inside, and their hearts were heavy with unease.

“Line up and tell me the names of your family members.”

After Riley reported Drew’s name, the officer led them into an office, and his expressions were grave.

“After our investigation, Drew’s situation is not complicated. He indeed wasn’t aware of the company’s operations. We can now arrange for his bail, but you must surrender all the profits he made during his employment, and any debts must be cleared,” the officer explained.

The family was stunned.

“Officer, we really don’t know the details,” Riley pleaded urgently. “My son was just a regular employee. He never made any profits.”

The officer frowned, his tone severe. “Salaries, bonuses, these are all ill-gotten gains!”

Camila’s heart tightened. “Right now, the most important thing is to secure Drew’s release.”

The officer brought out a document, stating, “After our investigation, Drew earned a total of $217,000 in salary and bonuses over eight months, and has a debt of $700,000, making a total of $917,000.”

Everyone gasped!
