I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

The deceased had passed, and the living continued. Selene said nothing more. From that day on, she became even more silent, spending her days in prison reading books and speaking very little. Harvey tried to see her several times, but she refused each time. No matter what Harvey did, it was all in vain if Selene wouldn’t see him.

Harvey became very frustrated, losing his usual energy and spirit. There were no other girls around him anymore, and people began to notice that it had been a long time since he was involved in any romantic scandals. Many speculated that Harvey had met someone who made him want to settle down, and they believed that person was Elsa.

Elsa clung to Harvey constantly, leading to many rumors within their circle. By the time Harvey realized it, everyone was already saying that he and Elsa were going to get married.

Harvey thought, “Why not just say we’ve had kids already?” The rumors were getting more and more ridiculous.

Feeling annoyed, Harvey directly issued a statement through the media to clarify that he had no relationship with Elsa. He admitted that he had someone he liked, but it wasn’t Elsa. He also stated that this person was the first he truly loved and would be the last.

With this announcement, Harvey effectively cut off all potential romantic entanglements, aiming to maintain his integrity. Previously, those scandals were just women using him for publicity; he didn’t bother to correct them because it served as a good cover. In social circles filled with men, having no women around would make him a subject of ridicule.

In truth, Harvey had maintained a playboy image just to save face. His announcement inadvertently slapped Elsa in the face. She had been basking in the envy of others who thought she was about to marry Harvey. Her joy was short-lived as Harvey’s statement shattered those illusions.

Harvey’s straightforward clarification wasn’t meant to blame Elsa, but it inevitably dragged her into a whirlpool of public opinion. She became a laughingstock, criticized for being desperate and unwanted.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Elsa couldn’t stand it and went to confront Harvey. Not wanting to argue with her, Harvey sought refuge at Terrence’s place.

Watching Terrence play with his child while Meredith pruned flowers and planted vegetables in the yard made Harvey envious. They could live a peaceful life without ever leaving home-how idyllic.

“Boss, you’re enjoying retirement life early,” Harvey said enviously. “You’ve skipped decades of struggle.”

Terrence fed Little Lucky some baby food and replied, “If you earn money but don’t enjoy it, what’s the point? If you’re envious, settle down early yourself. Raising kids is actually very fulfilling.”

“I don’t even have a girlfriend; how can I start a family?” Harvey sighed.

Seeing his dejection, Terrence teased him deliberately: “I heard you’re marrying Elsa? Congratulations.”

“Boss, you’re making fun of me too,” Harvey said. “There’s nothing between Elsa and me; it’s all just rumors. I’ve already clarified it. Because of this mess, Elsa is giving me trouble now, so I’m hiding out here for a couple of days.”

Terrence continued to poke fun: “I heard you went to see Selene in prison but she wouldn’t see you?”

Harvey sighed deeply: “Boss, can you not break my heart?”

Meredith finished trimming two flowers and sat beside Terrence. Little Lucky reached out for the petals in her mother’s hand. At this stage, Little Lucky put everything she grabbed into her mouth if not watched closely.

Meredith smiled gently: “Rowan, flowers are not for eating; they’re for looking at.”

Hearing this, Little Lucky stopped pulling at the petals and stared at them instead with wide eyes. Her adorable expression made Terrence and Meredith laugh.

Harvey couldn’t understand what was so funny: “Give me some advice; you both have kids to play with while I’m all alone-it’s so pitiful.”

Meredith said: “Selene has three years left in there; even with good behavior reducing her sentence, it’ll still take one or two years. What advice can we give? Even if she gets out early, there’s no guarantee she’ll be interested in you.”

Harvey asked earnestly: “Why? What’s wrong with me that Selene wouldn’t be interested?”
