I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Previously, Liam couldn’t be reached because Terrence was in an area with signal interference and couldn’t receive calls. Terrence had already found out which hotel Reginald was staying at. When he came to Japan, he had investigated Reginald’s old home in Nichigawa. Nichigawa still existed but had changed drastically; the old buildings were gone, replaced by new constructions. Reginald’s old home was now occupied by people from his clan. If Reginald wanted to return to his old home, he would definitely try to reclaim the house. Terrence couldn’t get too close to where Reginald was staying because he feared being exposed, which might lead Reginald to harm Little Lucky.

When Meredith called, Terrence felt more assured. He was surprised to learn that Selene was with John Wilkinson. “Meredith, are you sure it’s Selene?”

“I’m very sure,” Meredith said. “I just don’t understand why John Wilkinson has her with him and even brought her into the police station. Selene’s appearance had changed; she must have been disguised.”

“That must be Celestial Alliance’s disguise technique,” Terrence said. “Celestial Alliance has a type of mask that looks like real human skin and changes one’s appearance. They usually wear these masks when they act.”

“That must be it then. Selene hasn’t regained her memory. She’s with John Wilkinson, parading around openly. Do you think John Wilkinson is using her as a means to lure out Celestial Alliance members?” Meredith asked.

“It’s possible,” Terrence recalled something Liam had mentioned before. “John Wilkinson has been targeting Celestial Alliance because he’s looking for his sister. She was taken by Celestial Alliance when she was very young. John Wilkinson hates Celestial Alliance and is very ruthless towards their members.”

But Selene’s situation was different.

Meredith quickly caught on and was shocked. “You suspect Selene is John Wilkinson’s sister?”

“John Wilkinson is very principled and holds a significant position; he wouldn’t act recklessly. Selene is Celestial Alliance’s top-level assassin. There must be a reason he’s openly parading her around,” Terrence speculated.

“Have you seen our daughter?” Meredith couldn’t help but ask again. “What if she’s crying? What if they’re treating her poorly?”

“Rowan is with them; I haven’t seen her, but I’m certain,” Terrence reassured her. “Don’t worry, our daughter is fine.”

Reginald and his group had booked an entire floor of the hotel, and no one except the food delivery staff could enter that floor. Terrence found out that they had ordered baby formula from the hotel, which must be for Little Lucky. This confirmed that their daughter was safe.

Reginald not only bought baby formula but also many baby supplies. From these items, Terrence knew that Reginald wasn’t treating Little Lucky badly; she had the best of everything.

“How much longer until we can bring our daughter back?” Meredith asked. “I want to come over too; waiting for news every day here is too agonizing.”

She wanted to go to Japan to be closer to their daughter. She had also received a call from her father in France, who would be representing France in talks with Japan soon. With her father’s protection, it would be more advantageous if anything happened.

“Meredith, wait for us in Auroraville,” Terrence insisted. “I promise I’ll bring our daughter back.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“But…”

Terrence interrupted her, “Meredith, trust me.”

Meredith could only agree reluctantly, “Alright, I’ll wait for you in Auroraville.”

After hanging up the phone, the doorbell of Terrence’s room rang. His delivery had arrived.

Terrence opened the door to find a man holding a box at the entrance. “Sir, your package.”

“Thank you.” Terrence signed for it and took the box inside.

The box contained the disguise masks he had purchased. These items weren’t exclusive to Celestial Alliance; they were common in the underworld and easy to buy.

Terrence was staying on the floor directly below Reginald’s floor. Knowing his daughter was just upstairs made him eager to bring her back, but for her safety, he had to wait for the right opportunity.
