I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith reached the guest room floor but couldn’t find Joy Chaucer; it seemed she had lost her. Baffling questions flooded Meredith’s mind as she noticed a server passing by and asked, “Could you please tell me which room Miss Tessa uses?”

“Right ahead, room 306.”

“Thank you.” Meredith followed the room numbers and found the room around the corner. As she approached the door, something felt off-the door was jammed with something, preventing it from closing properly.

Meredith pushed the door open. “Tessa?”

Inside, Tessa lay on the bed, her body radiating heat, her zipper undone.

“Meredith,” Tessa’s cheeks were flushed red, “what brings you here?”

Concerned, Meredith approached. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you so hot?”

“I don’t know.” Tessa started to tug at her clothing, “I just feel so hot, I really want-” She bit her lip, struggling for words.

Meredith recalled what Joy Chaucer had done to her earlier and then pieced together the role of the server who brought red wine to Tessa. She instantly realized what had happened. The door had been intentionally jammed-it looked like a setup.

There wasn’t time to ponder if Joy Chaucer was behind this, so she helped Tessa up, “Let’s get out of this room.”

Supporting Tessa, they moved to the adjacent room, where Meredith then messaged Terrence Sterling to explain the situation.

Downstairs.

Terrence just returned to the banquet when he received Meredith’s message. He glanced at Mr. Granger and approached him, “Mr. Granger, may I have a word?”

“Of course.” Mr. Granger smiled. Apparently, he appreciated young businessmen like Terrence very much.

Once secluded, Terrence explained, “Someone drugged Tessa; she’s with my wife now.”

“What?” Mr. Granger’s face paled, “Who would do such a thing? Where is Tessa now?”

“In room 308,” Terrence replied, adding, “All is calm now.”

Mr. Granger understood the implication: whoever was behind this hadn’t started their move yet.

Meanwhile.

Joy Chaucer had searched this floor of the service department and had not found her quarry. Spotting the same server Meredith had talked to, she asked, “In which room is Miss Tessa resting?”

“Room 306.” The server found the repeated inquiry odd.

Hearing that, Joy, recalling the scorn she had suffered from Tessa earlier, felt a spiteful satisfaction and decided to witness Tessa’s disarray for herself.

Finding room 306, Joy noticed the door was ajar, the same blockage Meredith had encountered. To avoid alarming anyone earlier, Meredith had left it in place.

Joy peeked through the crack in the door but saw no one. Weren’t they saying Tessa was resting here?

Curious, Joy pushed open the door and checked the entire room-no sign of Tessa.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Where could she have gone? Surely not in this room?

Suddenly, a man appeared behind her, grabbing her, “Beauty, here I am, sorry to keep you waiting. Don’t worry, you will have the best night in your life.”

The man lewdly licked Joy’s neck and effectively restrained her against the wall.

Mistaking Joy Chaucer for Tessa, the man’s grip tightened despite Joy’s desperate struggles.

The man, impetuous, violently lifted Joy’s dress.

A painful lesson Joy Chaucer had learned for the night-curiosity killed the cat.

She had wanted to watch the drama but ended up drawing fire upon herself.

Meanwhile, Tessa, now in room 308 with Meredith’s help, showed signs of recovery. Fortunately, the drug’s effect was mild. Meredith helped by applying cold water and ice on her, allowing Tessa to soak and diminish her desires.

Shivering from the cold yet clearer-headed, Tessa realized, “Meredith, someone drugged me, didn’t they? Who was it?”

“I don’t know,” Meredith replied, having seen the waiter act suspiciously. “How do you feel? I’ve informed your father through Terrence Sterling. Today is your birthday and you are the center of attention, I dared not take you out hastily. Hang in there a bit longer, soak for a while.”

“I’m feeling a bit better.”

Just then, Terrence Sterling and Mr. Granger arrived.

“Tessa,” Mr. Granger quickly entered the bathroom and was heartbroken to see Tessa, still dressed in her full gala attire, sitting subdued in the bathtub.
