I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Fiona first visited a store to purchase some supplements, and then stopped by a pharmacy to buy some health products. After making these purchases, she didn’t directly go to see Meredith. Instead, she called Justin, learning that he was still at the law firm, and took a taxi to meet him.

Justin had just finished dealing with some matters when Fiona arrived. “Fiona, what brings you here? Something happened?” His tone was somewhat heavy, knowing that Fiona’s visits were rarely without serious reason.

“I’ve bought some supplements for Meredith. I’d like you to give them to her,” Fiona said. “She’s pregnant, and I can’t do much to help, so I thought I’d buy her some supplements.”

“How did you find out?” Justin was cautious, remembering Terrence Sterling’s warning that Fiona, still harboring resentments, might not truly be acting out of kindness.

“I… I found out the last time I was at Meredith’s restaurant,” Fiona explained as she handed over the supplements to Justin. “She probably doesn’t want to see me. You don’t need to tell her these are from me. I just bought them, and the pharmacist said these are essential for pregnant women.”

Justin looked at the boxes of supplements and said, “Alright, I’ll keep them for now.”

“You go ahead with your work; I’ll be leaving now.” Fiona seemed more earnest this time, her speech neither as arrogant nor rushed as before, devoid of any emotion.

“Fiona,” Justin called out as she was about to leave. “How are things at the factory? Are you getting used to it?”

“It’s okay,” Fiona replied with a smile. “The people are very friendly, although the hours are long and it was tiring at first. I’ve gotten used to it now.”

That was a reasonable response. Working in a factory was indeed exhausting.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Justin felt somewhat relieved. “Fiona, keep up the good work, and call me if you need anything.”

“Will do,” Fiona said, then she truly left, without asking Justin for any money.

After she left, Justin looked again at the supplements Fiona had brought. Recalling Terrence Sterling’s words, he decided not to deliver them to Meredith and instead, he threw them away. He wasn’t being paranoid, but he couldn’t afford to take the risk. Fiona’s behavior had been inconsistent, her apologies not matching her actions behind the scenes, and Justin had to stay vigilant.

Having met with Fiona, Justin decided to head home early, as he had no clients to see that day. Recently, Mr. Thatcher hadn’t been pressuring him to sell the house, which was a relief.

Justin drove home, and as he exited the elevator, he saw several unfamiliar men and women leaving his apartment. Mr. Thatcher was sending them off with a smile, unaware of Justin’s presence, and saying, “This apartment is in a great location, I’ve checked everything, it’s definitely worth it, a real bargain at $13 million.”

“We’ll think about it,” one of the strangers said casually. “Who actually owns the apartment? Is it just you, or is it jointly owned?”

“It’s just mine,” Mr. Thatcher lied, claiming the apartment for himself.

Justin emerged from the elevator just in time to hear this exchange and immediately confronted them. “Dad, what’s going on here? Who are these people?”

“Ainsley, why are you back so early?” Mr. Thatcher’s face turned cold, showing no guilt as he matter-of-factly said, “They’re here to see the apartment.”

Justin reacted promptly, his tone tinged with anger. “Dad, I’ve told you this apartment is not to be touched.”

He then turned to the visitors, “I’m sorry, but this apartment is not for sale. Please don’t come here again.”

The visitor was visibly upset, reproaching Mr. Thatcher, “Seriously? What’s going on with your family? You haven’t sorted this out yet you had us come to see the apartment?”

The group left angrily.

Mr. Thatcher, feeling embarrassed and confronted, frowned and spoke discontentedly, “Ainsley, what now? Do I no longer have a say in this family? We’ve already had several people look at it, and they liked it. Someone even offered $12 million, just waiting for our approval.”
