I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith called Mrs. Lawson to ask her to pack some of Bianca’s belongings and send them to Darcy DuMont in France to ease his longing. After receiving the call, Mrs. Lawson went upstairs and opened the bedroom where Bianca used to live. Normally, she wouldn’t be afraid, but thinking about the missing dog and the strange occurrences lately, she felt a bit scared while packing the belongings.

Mrs. Lawson quickly packed some items and had a delivery man come to pick them up and send them to the address Meredith provided. Afterward, she went out to look for the dog and ran into Mrs. Fairchild. She asked, “Mrs. Fairchild, have you seen my dog, Mimi?”

“No,” Mrs. Fairchild replied, “Has Mimi gone missing?”

Mrs. Lawson said, “I bought groceries and came back, but she was gone. The cage was closed. Mimi is very smart; sometimes she opens the cage herself and goes out.”

Mrs. Fairchild recalled something and said, “Oh right, around nine in the morning, I heard some noise from your house. Mimi was barking miserably. I called out to you several times but no one answered.”

“I left before nine to buy groceries and didn’t return until almost noon. I wasn’t home,” Mrs. Lawson said, feeling even more uneasy. “Mrs. Fairchild, I’ve noticed something strange at home recently, as if someone else is there.”

“Do you think someone is hiding in your house?” Mrs. Fairchild joked, “A man perhaps?”

“I’m not joking; it really feels weird lately,” Mrs. Lawson shook her head. “I’m too scared to stay alone.”

“Could it be haunted?” Mrs. Fairchild suggested, “I can come with you to check the house or stay with you at night. It’s such a big house; it’s a shame not to live in it.”

“Please come stay with me at night,” Mrs. Lawson said, “I’m afraid alone.”

“Sure, no problem,” Mrs. Fairchild agreed generously, “We’re close by anyway; I’ll come over after I’m done with my things at night.”

Feeling reassured, Mrs. Lawson started cooking only what she could eat each time and threw away any leftovers instead of keeping them in the fridge. She also stopped buying snacks and fruits. At night, Mrs. Fairchild came over to sleep with her.

With no leftovers and an extra person in the house, Joy Chaucer didn’t dare come downstairs anymore. Even if she did come down at night, she was extremely cautious.

When she was too hungry to bear it, Joy Chaucer would sneak into the kitchen when Mrs. Lawson wasn’t home to find something to eat-even raw eggs if necessary.

As she ate, Joy Chaucer cursed Mrs. Lawson for not keeping more snacks at home, thinking she might starve.

While Joy Chaucer hid away, Aubrey pursued Reginald aggressively.

Reginald was annoyed but couldn’t do anything about Aubrey without alerting the Sterling family.

Aubrey pretended to be kind and gentle and often said things that could be easily misunderstood.

For example, Aubrey once told Reginald, “I know what you do; I admire you a lot. It’s okay if you don’t like me now; feelings can grow over time. I can even give you a son.”

Reginald felt a murderous intent rise within him, thinking Aubrey knew he was the founder of Celestial Alliance.

If Julian hadn’t shown up just then, Aubrey might have met an untimely end.

While Reginald was troubled by this situation, Terrence was getting ready to have his bandages removed.

On the day of the removal, Grandma Sterling also went to the hospital; everyone was tense as Dr. Simpson carefully unwrapped layer after layer of bandages from Terrence’s eyes.

Terrence slowly opened his eyes as everyone watched with anticipation.

Meredith held Little Lucky tightly and asked nervously, “Can you see me?”

Reginald was there too; he came to observe Grandma Sterling’s reaction.

Reginald asked, “How does it feel?”

Grandma Sterling leaned on her cane with a hopeful expression on her aged face.

As Terrence opened his eyes, everything went from blurry to clear; he could see again and noticed the silver bracelet on Damien’s wrist behind Reginald-the same one worn by Ethan Channing’s killer that night.

It confirmed his suspicions.

“Terrence?” Meredith called again, “Can you see?”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Terrence continued pretending to locate by sound alone and turned toward Meredith’s voice. He saw Little Lucky in her arms-he hadn’t seen his daughter for almost a month and noticed how much she had changed.

Little Lucky reached out her small hands wanting Terrence to hold her while babbling incoherently for a hug.

Suppressing his emotions and maintaining a calm exterior, Terrence shook his head slightly and said, “Still can’t see.”
