I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

The Fieldmouse and Chaucer families were well-matched in terms of social status. For Joy Chaucer to marry into the Fieldmouse family would be considered a good match, but…

Bianca expressed concern, “Harvey might not like Joy, and I’ve heard he’s quite a playboy, often changing girlfriends.”

“A marriage will settle him down,” Chloe countered. “They’re both young, and there’s plenty of time to develop feelings. You can’t keep letting Joy run wild. Talk to the Fieldmouse family; they’ll likely be thrilled about this match.”

After some thought, Bianca said, “I’ll call Mrs. Fieldmouse later, arrange to meet for tea, and see what she thinks. Joy is not getting any younger, and it’s indeed time to think about her marriage. Getting married might help her settle down.”

Bianca was also eager to secure Joy’s engagement to prevent her from disrupting Meredith and Terrence Sterling’s marriage.

At a private club, and still unaware of his potential future as a political marriage pawn, Harvey was playing golf with Terrence Sterling.

After a successful shot, Harvey exclaimed excitedly, “Yes! Did you see that, boss? A hole-in-one!”

Terrence, wiping his club calmly, commented, “You’re improving.”

“Boss, you announced your marriage. Is everything okay with Azure?” Harvey asked curiously. “I heard Azure moved into your house. Two women under one roof, no issues?”

Terrence smirked, “What issues could there possibly be?”

Harvey gave a thumbs up. Noticing Meredith approaching, he decided to tease a bit and asked, “Boss, you’re amazing. How did you convince Mrs. Sterling to let Azure move in? She didn’t kick you out of the bedroom? Who calls the shots at home usually?”

“Meredith is a wise and understanding woman. Why would she fuss over such trivialities?” Terrence replied nonchalantly. “I decide on the big issues, Meredith on the small ones.”

Harvey laughed, “So, Mrs. Sterling listens to you at home? Seems like you’ve got a good standing.”

Terrence added, “Whether something is a big issue or a small one, Meredith decides. Anyway, since marrying Meredith, we haven’t had any major issues at home. Choosing the right wife is crucial, and it shows Meredith brings me good fortune.”

Harvey chuckled, “You sure have a way to bring getting ‘henpecked’ to a new level.”

Harvey praised, “Mrs. Sterling, your skill in managing your husband is remarkable.”

Terrence turned around, pretending to be surprised, “Meredith, when did you get here?”

Harvey inwardly rolled his eyes; Terrence definitely knew his wife had arrived, or why else would he suddenly become so survival-oriented?

Meredith, clearing her throat, asked, “Just now. What were you guys talking about?”

Women like to hear such flattering remarks. Although Terrence’s words had a showy element, they were sweet music to her ears.

“Just chatting, teaching him how to be a good husband. He’s not getting any younger; it’s time he found a woman. Meredith, tired? Let’s go home; the baby must be hungry.”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“I am hungry. Lucky wants curry and tacos today…” Meredith cheekily used their child as a pretext to request her cravings.

Terrence indulgently agreed, “Whatever you want, we’ll have.”

Handing his club to Harvey, Terrence announced, “We’re heading off, you enjoy your game.”

Catching the club, Harvey whistled and gave a thumbs-up, “Lesson learned, boss.”

After the promotional event, Terrence and Meredith had come here to play golf. Meredith had just been to the restroom.

Harvey had planned to tease Terrence but ended up being fed a dose of affection instead. Married life seemed to have changed Terrence a lot, making even Harvey consider marriage.

As if on cue, that evening when Harvey returned home, Mrs. Fieldmouse excitedly asked, “Son, son, do you want to get married?”

Harvey laughed, “Mom, are you a worm in my stomach? I was just thinking about marriage, and you knew.”

“That’s great! I’ve found a girl for you. Bianca came to see me today. If you agree, I’ll set you up with her daughter. We’ll pick a date for the engagement.”

Hearing Joy Chaucer’s name, Harvey exploded, “Mom, Joy Chaucer? Are you serious? Forget it, I’d rather remain single for life than marry Joy Chaucer. Please don’t agree to this, or I’d rather become a monk.”

After dismissing Mrs. Fieldmouse, Harvey retreated to his room and called Terrence, “Boss, your words are just prophetic. You just mentioned settling down, and my mom’s already matchmaking me with Joy Chaucer. I think something’s wrong with me.”
