I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

“Uncle Reginald?” Harvey was puzzled. “Boss, why are you looking for Uncle Reginald?”

“Stop wasting time. With your intelligence, explaining would be pointless.” Terrence got out of bed and fumbled to change clothes. Although he was blind, he wouldn’t rely on others for things he could do himself. He wasn’t so helpless as to need constant care.

Once everything was ready, the two quietly left the hospital. On the way, Harvey drove and chatted casually, “Boss, now that you can’t see, isn’t it hard to adjust?”

Terrence sat in the back seat, his tone calm, “Try covering your eyes and see.”

Harvey imagined a world of darkness and decided against it. A blind person could trip over any obstacle on the ground, and that was Terrence’s current situation-constantly facing unknown dangers.

“Boss, you’re really something else. I admire you,” Harvey said sincerely. Most people couldn’t handle such a drastic change, but Terrence showed no negative emotions. His emotional control was far superior to most.

“A person who can’t control their emotions can’t accomplish anything,” Terrence knew what Harvey was thinking and took the opportunity to teach him a lesson. “When something has already happened and can’t be changed, try to accept it and find another way.”

“Boss, you’re almost like a philosopher,” Harvey laughed. “By the way, were you pretending to have amnesia when Joy Chaucer imprisoned you?”

Joy Chaucer would say anything beneficial to her when dealing with the police. For instance, she would tell them that Terrence was faking amnesia to portray herself as a victim. Although it wouldn’t help much since no one would believe her-whether Terrence’s amnesia was real or fake didn’t change the fact that she had imprisoned him-she thought giving more reasons might help her struggle.

“Joy Chaucer will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. I broke two of her fingers before; if she gets angry, she might retaliate.” Terrence said, “Pretending to have amnesia is safer.”

Harvey admired him even more. “Boss, I used to think you were the type who’d never bend even if beaten with a stick. This surprises me.”

It wasn’t meant as an insult but as a statement of fact with respect.

“Getting hit without dodging is foolish,” Terrence said sternly. More importantly, if he stubbornly angered Joy Chaucer, it would be counterproductive. One must always learn to assess the situation.

The car soon arrived at the villa Reginald had purchased. Harvey identified himself and drove in since he also owned a house there.

After parking in front of Reginald’s villa, Harvey said, “Boss, weren’t we supposed to come quietly? Parking here so openly will startle the snake.”

“If you don’t startle it, how will the snake come out?” Terrence got out of the car with his white cane.

Harvey followed suit. “Boss, are you going in?”

“Just getting some fresh air.” Terrence stood outside for a few seconds before getting back into the car. “Drive; we can go back now.”

Harvey had no idea what Terrence was up to. “Boss, we came all this way just for you to stand outside for a few seconds? Weren’t we supposed to find Uncle Reginald? He doesn’t even know we were here. Besides, doesn’t Uncle Reginald live in Ravenwood? Why are we looking for him?”

Harvey was utterly confused.

Terrence replied cryptically, “He will know.”

“How will Uncle Reginald know?”

Harvey was even more baffled.

Terrence didn’t explain further. He came here to test things out. Although he hadn’t met this Uncle Reginald yet, Meredith’s descriptions raised suspicions.

What made him suspicious was Reginald’s apprentice Damien. Damien wore a silver bracelet on his wrist; even though Terrence hadn’t seen it himself, Meredith’s description and various coincidences suggested Damien was problematic.

The first time someone silenced Ethan Channing, they also had a silver bracelet on their wrist that reflected car lights clearly.

As Damien’s master, Reginald must also be involved.

Terrence shared Meredith’s suspicion that Reginald wouldn’t return without reason.

Just as Terrence suspected, shortly after he left the villa entrance, Reginald received word of their visit.
