I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Justin didn’t have a chance to finish his sentence before Meredith greeted him and told him to go back early. She got into the car with the driver, John, and they drove off.

It only took about fifteen minutes to get up the mountain.

…

Fiona came back with a belly full of anger. She had just scolded the maid when she heard Terrence Sterling had returned. Quickly changing into a sexy yet innocent nightgown and spritzing on some perfume, she knew Terrence Sterling had gone to the study, so she deliberately prepared some fruits and took them there.

“Mr. Sterling,” Fiona timidly walked in with flushed cheeks and a soft voice,” I brought you some fruits, don’t tire yourself out too much.”

“Leave it.” Terrence Sterling’s gaze remained on the files in his hand, not bothering to look up at Fiona.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Rick walked over and took the fruits. “Miss Woods, Mr. Sterling is still busy. Why don’t you go back to your room and get some rest?”

Fiona’s outfit gave away her thoughts to Rick with just one look.

Refusing to leave, Fiona walked a few steps closer to Terrence Sterling. “Mr. Sterling, I received the gift you prepared for me. I really like it. I have also prepared a gift for you in my room…”

“Good to hear,” Terrence Sterling didn’t pay attention to Fiona’s words at all, casually dismissing her and turning to Rick,” Has Meredith arrived?”

“She should be arriving soon. John went to pick her up, it’s only a fifteen-minute drive. She might have already arrived…” Before Rick could finish his sentence, he heard the car below turning off. “Miss Florrick should be here. I’ll go downstairs now.”

“Okay.” Terrence Sterling replied nonchalantly.

As Rick went downstairs to greet Meredith, Fiona was left feeling pale and shocked. Meredith was coming? Why at this hour? She couldn’t let Meredith see her.

Seeing Fiona frozen in place, Terrence Sterling furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “Is there something else?”

“N-nothing.” Fiona stammered in panic. “Mr. Sterling, I’ll go back to my room and rest.”

Fiona hurriedly left, fearing to be seen by Meredith. But it was too late, Meredith had already come upstairs. There was nowhere to hide in this hallway.

In desperation, Fiona turned her back, one hand against the wall, the other clutching her stomach, using her long hair to cover her face as she crouched on the ground pretending her stomach was upset.

“Miss Woods, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Rick, who was leading Meredith upstairs, asked with concern.

Miss Woods? Was she Terrence Sterling’s girlfriend? Meredith subconsciously glanced, but with her face hidden by her hand and hair, Fiona’s identity remained a mystery. Yet, there was a strange sense of familiarity.

“Miss Woods, are you alright?” Meredith respectfully greeted her.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Unable to speak, Fiona simply gestured that she was fine and ran away.

Rick found it strange. “What’s wrong with Miss Woods?”

As Meredith watched Fiona’s retreating figure, a sense of familiarity washed over her. She never would have guessed Fiona was Terrence Sterling’s girlfriend. Fiona used to be pretty conservative about her clothes, always in long-sleeved long pants pajamas, high necklines, completely covered up.

Moreover, the two had no connection and Fiona didn’t seem like Terrence Sterling’s type at all. They were from completely different worlds.

So, even though there was a sense of familiarity, Meredith never thought in that direction.

Back in her room, Fiona was restless. Why did Meredith come to Thornfield Gardens so late? Was she trying to seduce Terrence Sterling? If he found out Meredith was the one that night, what could she do?

Fiona paced around in anxiety, she had to come up with a plan. She couldn’t let Meredith stay here.
