I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Selene felt troubled. She had given Meredith the contact information, but this meant pushing Meredith into hell. She resolutely refused to do so.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Meredith, I told you, the Celestial Alliance won’t take this job. And you should avoid contacting them; the Celestial Alliance is a criminal organization! This will bring disgrace and unnecessary trouble to the Sterling family,” Selene deliberately complicated things. “The police are already investigating. You should wait for their news.”

“Is that really the case?” Meredith stared at Selene, her intuition telling her that Selene was hiding something.

“Yes, it is,” Selene replied. “You should wait a bit longer. I’m leaving Auroraville and might never come back.”

“Why?” Meredith pressed. “Where are you going?”

Selene remained silent, her attitude indicating she couldn’t say.

Meredith looked at Selene for a while and realized that Selene’s return wasn’t simple.

“Alright, I respect you,” Meredith said, stepping back without further questioning. “I wish you good luck.”

Selene hesitated but ultimately said nothing more and turned to walk downstairs.

Downstairs, Selene bumped into Harvey who was rushing in.

Harvey, having heard about Terrence’s incident, hurried over and was surprised to see Selene. “What are you doing here? How’s your injury? Are you here because of the boss?”

Selene softly acknowledged and continued walking out.

Harvey found it strange that Selene was so cold.

He was about to call out to her when she suddenly stopped and looked back at him.

Harvey thought she was going to say something, but she turned and left again.

“How strange. I’m your savior after all, and you don’t even greet me,” Harvey muttered.

Concerned about Terrence, he went upstairs to find Meredith, who was coming down. “Meredith.”

“Yes.” Meredith looked thoughtfully in the direction Selene had left and asked Harvey, “Do you know the Celestial Alliance?”

“Why are you asking about them?” Harvey inquired.

“I want to ask the Celestial Alliance for help in finding Terrence.” Meredith felt compelled to seek them out by an inner voice she couldn’t ignore. Selene’s unusual reaction only strengthened her resolve.

Harvey assured her, “Leave it to me. I’ve heard of the Celestial Alliance; they’re a criminal organization that works for money. They’re reputedly very capable and might find the boss quickly.”

Meredith nodded. Harvey added, “Don’t worry, if the police haven’t found him yet, it means he’s safe. The boss is lucky; if Rick is fine, then he must be too.”

“I’m okay,” Meredith said gratefully. “Thank you, Harvey.”

Harvey smiled. “No need to be so formal with me. I’ll go find out about the Celestial Alliance and let you know once I make contact.”

“Good, let me know immediately,” Meredith instructed. “Don’t reveal your identity or let anyone know it’s me looking for them.”

Harvey wanted to ask why but realized the need for secrecy and didn’t pursue it further.

On the first night of Terrence’s disappearance, Meredith couldn’t sleep. Besides being anxious, she pondered Rick’s words.

The first tire blowout couldn’t have been an accident; it was the enemy’s first attempt on Terrence’s life.

But why was there such a long gap before the second attack?

Could it have been a different group?

Why was the first attempt so mild, just blowing out a tire?

Despite thinking it over repeatedly, Meredith felt something was off and became more convinced that Terrence was still alive.

The night grew deeper.

At the hospital.

Ethan Channing was guarded by several police officers. After inspecting him, Liam Michaelson handed over his shift and left.

A policeman opened the door to check on Ethan Channing lying in bed without any unusual signs before closing it again and sitting by the bedside to keep watch.

Meanwhile, on a rooftop opposite the hospital window, Selene aimed a sniper rifle at Ethan Channing’s room.
