I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Chloe returned home defeated and in a terrible mood. Upon getting back home, she scolded a clumsy nanny.

“Chloe, why so angry? What happened?” Joy Chaucer entered with a smile, clearly in a good mood. Chloe dismissed it, “Nothing serious, just business stuff. Joy, why are you back so early? Didn’t you go to the company today?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“My mom was out on business, so I came home early,” Joy replied, sinking into the sofa. “The company is just so boring, it’s even suffocating.” Chloe, already irritable, became even more annoyed seeing Joy’s laidback attitude, “I told you to make a good impression in front of your mom, what’s going on with you?”

“Chloe, I was in a good mood, why start lecturing me as soon as you see me?” Joy protested. “I’ll inherit the company eventually. I’m my mom’s only daughter, her only choice, she wouldn’t hand it to anyone else.”

“Who said you’re the only one? If…” Chloe nearly let something slip.

“What do you mean ‘if’?” Joy pressed, curious.

“I am the only one in our family now, who else would inherit our business?” Joy said defiantly. “Mom wouldn’t hand the company to Meredith just because she likes her. She’s not that stupid.”

Hearing this, Chloe grew even more anxious, knowing Biance might actually give the company to Meredith, especially if Meredith was the child from back then… To motivate Joy, Chloe teased, “Don’t you want to teach Meredith a lesson already? How can you compete with her just like that? She’s running a successful restaurant and has big ambitions. Once her child is born and her position is secured, she’ll surely have other plans.”

Joy nonchalantly remarked, “I’m just afraid she won’t live to see that child born.”

Chloe, alarmed, quickly scanned the room to ensure they were alone, then asked gravely, “Joy, what do you mean? What are you planning to do with a child?”

Joy scoffed, “Why would I need to do anything? She has enough enemies; someone else will take care of her. I wouldn’t want to dirty my hands and attract trouble.”

“Who is that?” Chloe pressed, concerned about the implications.

“Just relax. It’s someone Meredith would never ever doubt,” Joy said confidently.

Ever since they met, she had made Fiona her unwitting ally, ready to stab Meredith in the back.

Following a previous failure, Joy had learned to be more cunning, manipulating Fiona’s resentment without direct involvement. All she planned to do was watch the drama unfold.

Chloe urged, “No matter what happens to Meredith, you need to focus on learning how to manage the company…”

“Chloe, you’re even more nagging than my mom,” Joy complained, receiving a call from a friend inviting her for drinks, and she left. Chloe sighed deeply, realizing she had to push Joy forward herself to avoid any mishaps.

Meanwhile, at the electronics factory, Fiona was screwing in bolts, her repetitive job boring her, yet she couldn’t afford to quit. After an eight-hour shift, Fiona changed out of her work clothes and prepared to leave. A coworker asked, “Fiona, where are you headed?”

“I’m going out to buy something. My friend is pregnant and I want to get her a gift,” Fiona smiled and left, having learned of Meredith’s pregnancy through Joy.
