I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

On the way back to the company, Meredith kept a low profile, sitting at the very edge of the car. She had a bit too much to drink and her memory was fuzzy, but Terrence Sterling didn’t question her and she pretended not to notice.

When they arrived at the office, Terrence Sterling went straight to his office while Rick had important matters to report. Taking advantage of the situation, Meredith slipped back to the Secretary Office.

“Meredith, did you get your hair cut?” Linda was surprised. “You look so good like this, your face doesn’t suit bangs, this is much better.”

“Thank you,” Meredith replied bashfully.

Today, Meredith didn’t go to Terrence Sterling’s office, and Terrence Sterling didn’t look for her either, so she naturally worked in the Secretary Office. Usually, when there was no need for her, Meredith didn’t need to go to Terrence Sterling’s office – Rick was the most capable person by Terrence Sterling’s side.

Today was Valentine’s Day, and Meredith personally went to the mall to buy a gift. She sent it to Thornfield Gardens in Terrence Sterling’s name.

At Thornfield Gardens.

Fiona lived quite a luxurious life here, eating imported fruits, sleeping on a bed that cost hundreds of thousands, and enjoying the beauty of a garden spanning hundreds of square meters. The servants at Thornfield Gardens treated Fiona with great respect, satisfying her vanity, and she began to act like Mrs. Sterling in front of them.

Fiona was like a canary, living in a magnificent mansion. Terrence Sterling gave her a black card, allowing her to buy whatever she wanted. Fiona used to scrimp and save and still couldn’t afford an LV dress; now she could buy whatever she pleased.

After returning from shopping, Fiona bathed at home. Mrs. Wooten knocked on the door outside.

“Miss Woods, Mr. Sterling has bought you a gift, it’s downstairs.”

Upon hearing that Terrence Sterling had bought her a gift, Fiona’s eyes lit up. “Wait, I’ll be right down.”

When Meredith stood in the living room waiting, she also wanted to see what Terrence Sterling’s girlfriend looked like. Since Terrence Sterling pampered her so much, she must be a pretty beautiful woman.

“Miss Florrick, please sit down and have some tea,” Mrs. Wooten offered.

“Thank you,” Meredith replied politely.

After waiting for about ten minutes and still not seeing anyone coming down, Meredith received a call from the company – she had to rush back for an urgent matter. She stood up and said to Mrs. Wooten, “I have to leave now, there’s an urgent matter at the company. Please pass this gift to Miss Woods; it’s the Valentine’s Day gift from Mr. Sterling.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Alright, Miss Florrick, take care on the way,” Mrs. Wooten replied.

As soon as Meredith left, Fiona grandly descended the stairs, thinking Terrence Sterling had returned. She had put on a new dress and spent some time on her makeup.

Not finding Terrence Sterling, she saw the shopping bag on the table. “Mrs. Wooten, where’s Mr. Sterling?” Fiona asked.

“Mr. Sterling hasn’t returned; his secretary sent the gift back on his behalf,” Mrs. Wooten smiled. “It’s a Valentine’s Day gift. It seems Mr. Sterling really likes you.”

Initially disappointed, Fiona felt better upon hearing this. She eagerly opened the bag to find a handbag worth forty-eight thousand. Her greed and vanity were hard to hide.

Fiona decided that the next time Terrence Sterling returned, she would win him over.

“Mrs. Wooten, when does Mr. Sterling usually return?” Fiona didn’t have Terrence Sterling’s number, only his assistant’s.

“Mr. Sterling is very busy, so it’s uncertain. Sometimes he comes back every few days, sometimes every day. You can call and ask,” Mrs. Wooten replied.

Feeling embarrassed that she didn’t have Terrence Sterling’s number, Fiona pretended to be understanding. “Since Mr. Sterling is busy, I won’t disturb him.”

Leaving Thornfield Gardens, Meredith texted Terrence Sterling: “Bought an limited edition LV handbag, sent it to Thornfield Gardens.”

Not knowing the name of her boss’s girlfriend, Meredith didn’t inquire further. Terrence Sterling replied with just “OK.”

Meredith worked until six o’clock before leaving the office. Despite working an extra hour, at least she could start the next day early.

Perhaps the incident from the night before had left a psychological shadow on Terrence Sterling, as he went out to socialize today with Linda and Rick.

Leaving the office, Meredith texted Justin. “Getting off work. Hearthstone. Bring Fiona, let’s make up for yesterday…”
