I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Fiona hugged Meredith tightly, pretending to cry with great sadness, “Meredith, I’m sorry, I don’t want to be a bad person, but I really can’t bear it. You are my best friend, please don’t be with Terrence Sterling.”

Best friends, these words were like a huge shackle that held Meredith firmly.

“Okay, I promise, I promise,” Meredith’s eyes also turned red, feeling guilty for making Fiona suffer so much.

To reassure Fiona, Meredith forced a smile and said, “There’s not only him in this world, no one is more important than you. Our friendship since childhood is irreplaceable.”

Fiona, a few months younger than Meredith, had always treated her like a sister. They had relied on each other in this city for over twenty years, so naturally, she would choose Fiona.

“Meredith, you’re so kind,” Fiona sniffed and wiped away her tears, saying these words with her mouth but thinking differently in her heart.

Once cracks appeared in a friendship, they could never be fully repaired.

To Fiona, Meredith was just pretending to be so magnanimous.

Fiona remembered all the embarrassments that Meredith had caused her.

But now, Fiona had changed, she had learned to be hypocritical.

To be precise, this was her true nature.

“Meredith, we haven’t had a meal together in a long time. Let’s go out for dinner, and I’ll introduce you to a good friend.” Fiona was very enthusiastic.

Reuniting over a meal was appropriate for the two friends.

Meredith didn’t think much and went along with Fiona.

In a nice Chinese restaurant, Fiona led Meredith into a private room.

Meredith thought there was only one friend, but upon entering, she saw seven or eight people, a group of young men and women.

“Fiona, you’re finally here,” a short-haired beauty stood up and greeted them warmly, “Is this your friend?”

The short-haired beauty looked Meredith up and down.

Fiona introduced, “This is my best friend, Meredith Florrick. This is Kate, Kate Fairchild. We’re investing in business together now, along with the others.”

It was Meredith’s first time hearing that Fiona was in business. Looking at the shrewd Kate, she felt that this business was not very reliable.

What kind of business required so many people to invest?

With so many people around, Meredith couldn’t ask directly but could only observe.

Kate greeted Meredith, “Meredith, sit down and eat together. Don’t be shy, you’re Fiona’s friend, so you’re our friend too.”

Meredith smiled lightly and said, “Sure.”

She sat down with Fiona, and Fiona and Kate discussed business matters.

By the end of the meal, Meredith had a rough idea. They were all investing in cosmetics.

Everyone knew the huge profits in the cosmetics market in recent years, and Fiona had invested a lot of money herself.

Meredith realized that this was not an investment business but clearly a scam.

Meredith couldn’t let Fiona continue with these people. She made an excuse and left with Fiona.

As they left the restaurant, Meredith advised Fiona, “Fiona, how much money did you invest? Withdraw quickly, those people are not trustworthy. That Kate looks shrewd, be careful she doesn’t cheat you.”

“Meredith, why are you saying that?” Fiona disagreed, “Don’t worry, Kate wouldn’t do that. She sincerely wants me to earn money. Last month, she even gave me a bonus, I made over a hundred thousand, much better than working for someone else.”

Meredith suddenly realized, “Where did you get the money to invest?”

Fiona couldn’t admit that she had saved it from Terrence Sterling, so she said, “A friend loaned it to me. Don’t worry, I’ll be successful, make a lot of money. Just now Kate even suggested I invest with you, we can all make money together.”

“There’s no such thing as a free lunch…” Meredith wanted to say more.

Fiona was unhappy, “Meredith, do you think I can’t do anything right? Why don’t you trust me for once?”

Meredith wanted to tell Fiona that she had been deceived many times before, but seeing Fiona upset, she didn’t say anything.

At that moment, Fiona received a call from Kate, completely ignoring Meredith’s warning, and went off with the group to the next event.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

It was late when Meredith took a cab home. As she reached her door, she remembered that Terrence Sterling had taken her keys in the morning.

Just as Meredith was about to find the property management to open the door, it opened from the inside.
