I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Hya sat on the ground, drenched, with water dripping from her hair onto her skin and clothes. She looked disheveled as she stared at Selene. They had known each other for nearly twenty years; how could she not understand Selene? She knew Selene’s choice.

Hya looked at her and said, “Tell me what to do, I’ll listen to you.”

Hearing this, Selene was speechless and found it hard to speak. She glanced at the pitch-black distance and finally spoke after a long time, “Let’s turn ourselves in.”

She said “we,” not just Hya alone. They had shared life and death for so many years; Hya had always been her shadow. The two were like one person. Selene couldn’t bear to watch Hya go to her death alone. If they had to take this path, she would accompany Hya.

Hya knew Selene would make her surrender but didn’t expect Selene would join her. “All these years, I’ve been the one doing the bloody work. I’m the one who should surrender. What are you going to do?” Hya stood up and faced Selene. “You’ve always wanted to leave Celestial Alliance; now is your chance. Selene, you’re free now, which means I’m free too. Go see the outside world for me.”

With that, Hya turned and walked away from the overpass, her lonely figure leaving a bitter taste in one’s heart.

“Hya,” Selene called out.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Hya stopped but didn’t turn around.

Selene said, “Come with me to see my brother.”

Hearing this, Hya turned back, “Your brother?”

“Anti-terrorism squad leader John Wilkinson is my brother,” Selene said. “The outside world is wonderful; I want to see it with you.”

Hearing this news, Hya was both shocked and relieved. With such a background, Selene was bound to have a different future. Now, she was the stumbling block in Selene’s future path. Only by surrendering could Selene’s road be smoother.

“I’m used to the darkness; you go see it for me.” Hya left these words behind and walked away. Her blood-stained hands didn’t want to drag Selene down. She could cleanse Selene of her sins. Her existence was meant to protect Selene, living for her sake. So was her sacrifice.

After Hya left, Selene walked back to John Wilkinson’s place, soaking wet and injured. She took deserted paths and avoided elevators, opting for the stairs instead.

…

After leaving, members of Celestial Alliance reported the situation to Reginald. Even now, they thought Selene had taken poison.

When reporting back, assassin Lia confidently said, “Master Reginald, as you expected, Selene drank that bottle of medicine; she’s doomed. Unfortunately, Hya escaped.”

“Bring Hya back to Celestial Alliance for disposal,” Reginald coldly ordered before hanging up.

In the Celestial Alliance headquarters laboratory, a researcher discovered that an antidote was missing while inventorying the lab’s medicines. Upon checking a special poison stockpile, he found there was one extra bottle of poison instead.

The bottles of both medicines were similar in appearance and color, and the new medicine had no name-just a number label. Clearly, an antidote was missing.

The researcher had been kidnapped by Celestial Alliance for his expertise; he dared not report this mistake or risk losing his life. He quickly prepared another antidote to make up for the missing one so no one would notice.

…

Selene returned to John Wilkinson’s place and changed out of her wet clothes. She treated her wounds simply by herself since she didn’t dare go to a hospital or clinic. After handling everything, she finally sat down slowly.

Thinking about Little Lucky being lost and Meredith’s anxious look, she considered calling Meredith when the door opened.

John Wilkinson came in from outside; his professional instincts immediately picked up on the smell of medicine.

“Sarah, why does it smell like medicine? Are you hurt?” John Wilkinson asked anxiously.

Selene replied calmly, “Just a minor injury; I ran into Celestial Alliance people by the river.”

“Let me see where you’re hurt,” John Wilkinson insisted but then realized it might be inappropriate even between siblings and corrected himself: “Where are you hurt?”

Selene said, “My abdomen and back were slashed; I’ve already treated them.”

They kept medicine at home since John Wilkinson often got injured himself.

Though worried, John Wilkinson couldn’t check her wounds directly and insisted: “Let’s go; I’ll take you to the hospital. I don’t trust your treatment.”

“Brother, don’t you want to know who founded Celestial Alliance? I can tell you who it is,” Selene diverted the topic. “I remember everything now.”
