I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Harvey said in frustration, “Fine, fine, I won’t meddle anymore. Do whatever you want.”

When Mrs. Fieldmouse came out and saw that Selene had left, she asked, “Where did she go? Why did she leave so suddenly? Stinky, did you upset her?”

“How would I know she’d get so angry?” Harvey felt a bit regretful. Did he really drive her away?

He quickly called Meredith, asking her to inform him if Selene returned to the Sterling family.

In just this short time, Harvey felt a bit neurotic. He harshly reflected on himself; he hadn’t said anything too harsh, had he?

He had seen countless women, yet he couldn’t understand her.

Selene had just thanked him moments ago; why did she turn hostile so quickly?

Women were truly hard to understand.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

When Meredith received Harvey’s call, she immediately called Selene.

Selene was on her way back to her place. Seeing Meredith’s call, she hesitated for a moment before answering, “Meredith.”

“Selene, Harvey said you left his house. I’m out right now. Just head back to Ravenwood; I’ll be home later,” Meredith said, worried about Selene’s injury.

“No need,” Selene replied coldly. “I won’t be returning to the Sterling family anymore. Meredith, I’m sorry.”

This sudden apology surprised Meredith. She thought Selene was simply planning to quit being a bodyguard. After all, it was normal to take a break after getting injured.

Meredith smiled and said, “It’s okay. Take good care of yourself. If you need anything, call me anytime. Even if you’re not a bodyguard anymore, we’re still friends.”

Selene’s apology was for the task ahead. She knew she couldn’t remain friends with Meredith. Her mission was to take Terrence’s life.

She had been hired as Terrence’s bodyguard before, but now the Celestial Alliance had ordered her to kill him. As an assassin, she had to obey.

She had originally taken the bodyguard job with the intention of leaving the Celestial Alliance behind and finding other work. Seeing a job posting for a female bodyguard had sparked her interest.

Selene didn’t respond further and hung up the phone.

Selene had always been like this. Meredith didn’t think much of it. She had just dropped Darcy DuMont off at Ravenwood and was planning to visit Sterling Corporation.

Meredith arrived at an inconvenient time; Terrence was in a meeting with the company’s top executives in the conference room. She stood outside watching for a while.

Linda brought over a cup of coffee. “Mrs. Sterling, why don’t you wait in the office? The meeting might take a while.”

Terrence saw Meredith standing outside through the glass wall of the conference room. They exchanged a glance, understanding each other’s thoughts without words.

Linda noticed this and said enviously, “Mrs. Sterling, your relationship with Mr. Sterling is really good. I never would have guessed it before or imagined you’d become his wife. Mr. Sterling is such a cold person; I’ve never seen him care about anyone all these years I’ve worked for him. Before this, I thought he didn’t even know how to smile.”

Linda wasn’t exaggerating at all.

Meredith laughed and said, “I used to be scared of him too.”

Linda chuckled, “I could tell. You were so afraid to deliver documents to him that I used to tease you about it.”

“Back then, seeing him was like a mouse seeing a cat,” Meredith whispered. “But at home, he’s not like that at all. Every time I see him sitting there all serious and intimidating everyone around him, I just want to pounce on him and strip away his facade.”

Linda burst into laughter but quickly covered her mouth to avoid being overheard by other employees. “Mrs. Sterling, only you would dare say that! I support you.”

It was obvious that Mr. Sterling wasn’t like that at home.

Outside the conference room, Terrence exuded an aura of restraint that made people both attracted and intimidated by him.

Those who hadn’t spent time with Terrence were genuinely afraid of him.

But Meredith wasn’t afraid anymore; she saw Terrence as nothing more than a paper tiger now.

“Linda, what are they discussing in today’s meeting? What project requires all these top executives?” Meredith asked.

Linda shook her head. “I’m not sure; it’s something big for sure though. Assistant Liu would know.”

Even though they both worked under Terrence, their responsibilities differed greatly and they couldn’t know everything.

Meredith didn’t ask further since she knew Terrence was busy. She took a sip of coffee and told Linda, “I’ll head home then.”

Watching him command the room made Meredith’s ambition stir once more.

Opening a restaurant had been just a hobby for her; it wasn’t what she truly wanted to do.

Now that Little Lucky was born, Meredith felt it was time to formally take over Falconer Holdings and bring peace to her late mother in heaven.

As she left, she glanced back at Terrence in the conference room one more time for reasons unknown-perhaps because she suddenly felt reluctant despite seeing him every day.

Maybe it was marital intuition; when Meredith looked over again, Terrence also glanced at her.

Meredith smiled and turned away.

This turn also made Terrence feel inexplicably uneasy in the conference room.
