I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Tessa burst into tears upon seeing her father, “Dad, Dad.”

She was crouched in the bathtub, filled with lots of ice cubes; the water was freezing.

Mr. Granger, who adored his youngest daughter terribly, was heartbroken seeing her in such a state, “How are you feeling now? Any better?”

“It’s not as bad anymore.” Tessa, still fearful, remained in the bath.

Terrence Sterling approached Meredith. With just one glance exchanged between the married couple, a flood of unspoken words passed between them.

Meredith was clueless about what had occurred, and lacking any evidence, she couldn’t just suspect Joy Chaucer.

Now as Terrence Sterling’s wife, her every move needed to be considered carefully; a wrong word or causing a scene could easily invite criticism.

Bianca was still at the banquet. If Joy Chaucer was indeed responsible, and this incident escalated, it could sever the relationship between the Granger and Chaucer families, a situation fraught with severe consequences.

Hearing that his daughter was somewhat better, Mr. Granger turned to Meredith: “Mrs. Sterling, I truly owe you my thanks. If it hadn’t been for you, Tessa might’ve faced unimaginable consequences. I must find out who targeted my daughter.”

For a girl her reputation is naturally important, especially when it comes to his beloved daughter.

Meredith modestly replied, “I was merely at the right place at the right time.”

From the bathtub, Tessa gratefully said to Meredith, “Thank you, Meredith. Otherwise, I would’ve been ruined.”

Due to this incident, Tessa regarded Meredith as her savior, bringing them much closer.

Mr. Granger asked, “Tessa, do you have any idea who might be behind this? Did you eat or drink anything unusual?”

Tessa recalled, “I just had a bit of wine tonight. It must have been that red wine; after drinking it, I felt terrible. I got it from a server.”

Enraged, Mr. Granger declared, “I’m going to review the surveillance footage right away and find that person.”

Just as Mr. Granger was about to retrieve the surveillance footage to discreetly deal with the matter, a raucous noise erupted from outside, along with the screams of girls.

Something had happened outside.

Meredith and Terrence Sterling exchanged looks. Mr. Granger and Tessa did the same.

The noise seemed to come from room 306.

That was the room where Tessa had been resting earlier.

Mr. Granger said, “Tessa, stay here; dad will go and check.”

Considering his daughter’s reputation, Mr. Granger didn’t allow Tessa to show her face.

Terrence Sterling too insisted Meredith stay back while he and Mr. Granger went to check.

In the hallway outside, numerous guests had gathered; only when Terrence Sterling stepped out did he realize what had happened.

Scenes of indiscretion were unfolding in room 306.

The man involved was none other than the notorious playboy Quinlan Aubrey, also a long-term friend of Joy Chaucer.

Calmly pulling up his trousers, Quinlan pointed to Joy Chaucer, hidden under the covers, and declared, “Sorry, but we couldn’t help ourselves.”

Quinlan was completely unaware it was Joy Chaucer though; he hadn’t seen her face and due to her mouth being covered all this time, she could not even speak either.

Sloane, accompanied by several friends, arrived to revel in the drama, hoping to tarnish Tessa’s reputation.

This had all been staged by Sloane; knowing Quinlan Aubrey’s lustful reputation and Tessa’s beauty, she had simply fueled the fire, leading Quinlan right into her trap.

Sloane sure hadn’t yet had the chance to find out who was under the covers. Seeing clothes scattered on the floor and the woman under the covers who she assumed was Tessa, she felt exceedingly smug.

At that moment, Quinlan Aubrey’s longtime rumored girlfriend, having heard the commotion, rushed over, furiously accusing, “Quinlan Aubrey, how could you do this to me? Who is she? Who have you hooked up with this time? I want to see which tramp dares to mess with my man.”

The girlfriend, infuriated, approached to yank the covers away, but they were clung to tightly by the person underneath.

Joy Chaucer beneath the covers was terrified, using them to hide her face while crying silently.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Quinlan didn’t interfere; he too believed it was Tessa under the covers, willingly letting everyone uncover the real face of his girl of the night.

Only Mr. Granger and Terrence Sterling knew that it wasn’t Tessa under the covers, yet neither knew who it actually was. They watched the drama unfold without revealing anything.

As Joy Chaucer clung desperately to the cover, Quinlan’s rumored girlfriend, not one to be considered mild-mannered, seeing the covers wouldn’t budge, instantly gave Joy Chaucer a good kick. Taking advantage of Joy Chaucer’s pain, she pulled the covers away.

Instantly, an all-naked Joy Chaucer was exposed before everyone.

As the crowd recognized Joy Chaucer’s face, a wave of shock swept through.

Sloane was dumbfounded, “Joy Chaucer, how could it be you?”

Where was Tessa?

Was it not Tessa?

“Joy Chaucer?” Quinlan Aubrey was also shocked, a flicker of panic crossing his face, “How could it be you!”
