I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Harvey still couldn’t understand why he was not good enough. He had looks, a good family background, everything one could ask for. He even explained to Selene that his flirtatious behavior was just to avoid unnecessary trouble and assured her he was still a virgin.

Meredith thought about it and couldn’t figure out what Selene didn’t like about Harvey. She casually said, “Maybe it’s the different life experiences. Don’t forget what Selene used to do.”

“I get it now. Selene must think I’m too weak and can’t fight,” Harvey concluded.

Terrence and Meredith were speechless.

Indeed, people in love are often insecure and lack confidence.

Harvey seemed to find a new direction and said, “I’ll hire a coach right now to teach me fighting and Taekwondo, build some muscles. Selene must like muscular men.”

Meredith doubted that Selene would like such a type. From what she knew about Selene, men with simple minds and strong bodies were definitely not her type.

“Harvey, do you really like Selene? Or is it just because she’s special? Once her uniqueness fades, will you still like her?” Meredith asked pointedly. “She has a criminal record. Will your family accept that? Have you thought about all this? If not, and you’re just restless because you can’t have her, I suggest you take a cold shower to clear your head.”

Meredith’s words were blunt because she believed that even if Harvey had a reputation for being flirtatious, he wasn’t inherently so. But if he approached someone as cold as Selene out of mere curiosity, it would be Selene who got hurt in the end.

As a woman, Meredith knew that men and women were different. Men often feel they can’t live without someone before they get them; their feelings deepen over time. But once they have them, the sense of conquest fades, and they gradually stop caring.

Women are the opposite. Before being won over by a man, their love is reserved and deep. Once they commit to a man, their love becomes passionate and grows deeper.

Harvey fell silent, not out of retreat but because he was seriously considering these issues.

“Meredith, you’re right. I’ve been too simplistic in my thinking. But I’m not just acting on impulse; time will prove it,” Harvey said confidently.

Meredith asked, “When was your first love?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Harvey thought for a moment, “I don’t think I’ve had one.”

“Don’t think?”

What kind of answer was that?

Harvey looked at Terrence and said, “The boss can vouch for me. Some of my rumored girlfriends-I haven’t even held their hands; we were just acquaintances.”

Meredith looked at Terrence. He said, “I don’t know.”

Harvey was speechless.

Meredith said, “Studies show that men fall in love only once. Ninety-nine percent of men’s love dies at eighteen or nineteen.”

First love is passionate; after that age, it’s hard to truly love again.

Harvey dragged others into it: “Meredith, the boss met Azure when he was about eighteen or nineteen.”

Terrence was speechless.

“Bad company,” he muttered.

Meredith laughed softly. “You guys chat; I’ll take Rowan for a nap.”

She left with the child, and Terrence stood up as well. “Go do whatever you need to do,” he told Harvey.

Suddenly remembering something, Harvey asked, “Boss, do you have enough groomsmen? Save me a spot.”

“Six figures per spot,” Terrence replied, adding, “Bring your own bridesmaid.”

Meredith didn’t have many close female friends and had only asked Azure to be her bridesmaid.

Harvey clicked his tongue. “Boss, you just said you’re not short on money; now you’re so stingy.”

“I need some pocket money. The household finances are controlled by Meredith,” Terrence patted Harvey’s shoulder. “You’ll understand when you get married.”

Curious, Harvey asked, “How much pocket money does Meredith give you each month?”

Terrence left him with four words: “I have to earn it.”

“How?”

Harvey didn’t get an answer; naturally, Terrence wouldn’t share his secret for earning pocket money with anyone else.

It wasn’t something just anyone could do-it required his stamina and endurance.
