I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith had a headache. Before confronting Azure, she had thought of her as a pitiable and exceptionally talented individual. Now, Azure was brazenly demanding that Meredith let go of her husband. Was she aiming to become the other woman?

Rubbing her temples, Meredith said, “Miss Azure, I think you should leave. Don’t ask such… pointless questions. We’re all adults here, not teenagers blindly driven by first love. At least… have some dignity.”

“Meredith, you actually don’t love him,” Azure retorted, struggling to suppress her emotions. Meredith’s composure was provoking her.

“How can you be so calm?”

“Azure, just go,” Harvey Fieldmouse urged as he pulled her towards the exit, murmuring, “You’ve had too much to drink. Let’s go home.”

Azure was reluctantly dragged away by Harvey. Meredith remained seated, silently watching as Azure was pulled out of the restaurant. At the door, Azure argued with Harvey but was eventually led away.

Reese approached Meredith quickly, sensing trouble. “Meredith, was that customer causing a scene just now?”

“You handle the rest,” Meredith replied tersely.

Reese, sensing the mood, signaled to the waitstaff to clear the table.

…

A few minutes after Harvey sent his message, Terrence Sterling saw it and promptly returned a call. Harvey, driving Azure back to the hotel, answered his phone immediately, “Boss.”

“What’s the situation?” Terrence’s voice was urgent and cool. “Is Meredith alright? She’s pregnant, don’t let Azure hurt her.”

“She’s pregnant? When did this happen?” Harvey was surprised and delighted for Terrence. “Boss, you’re going to be a dad, that’s amazing.”

Harvey’s words shattered Azure, who turned pale in the passenger seat.

Meredith is pregnant?

No wonder she seemed so confident earlier.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“You’re not at the restaurant?” Terrence heard the sound of car horns through the phone.

“I’m driving Azure back to her hotel. Meredith is still at the restaurant,” Harvey explained. “She should be fine.”

She hadn’t suffered any physical injuries, but the emotional impact was uncertain.

Azure’s scene likely upset Meredith.

“Alright,” Terrence ended the call without further questions.

Harvey glanced at Azure, who was crying beside him, and handed her a tissue. “You know, fate is strange. You’ll meet someone better.”

Azure, tears streaming down her face, leaned against the car window. “Harvey Fieldmouse, my struggle was all just to stand equal to him.”

“That may be, but you can’t hang all your hopes on one man,” Harvey replied. “You’ve been away for years; he couldn’t wait forever. He’s married now, and Meredith is pregnant. Isn’t it unethical to disrupt their lives?”

Azure remained silent, her tears unceasing.

Harvey sighed and said no more.

Arriving at the hotel, Harvey thought to escort Azure inside, but just then, Terrence’s car pulled up. Terrence got out with a stern face that seemed to tighten the air around him.

“Azure, get out. We need to talk,” Terrence said coldly as he approached the car.

Azure, seeing Terrence, felt a surge of joy, but his icy demeanor filled her with dread.

Harvey, fearing a confrontation, cautioned, “Boss…”

Terrence cut him off sharply, “Mind your own business. This doesn’t concern you.”

“Alright, then I’m off,” Harvey muttered, and quickly left.

Azure stepped out of the car, apprehensive. “I…”

“You have no right to disturb my wife,” Terrence said, his tone colder. “I hope there won’t be a next time.”
