I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Joy Chaucer fell silent. She was naked, merely wrapped in a blanket as Quinlan Aubrey lifted her into the car.

Once back in the car, she lashed out at Quinlan Aubrey, hitting, pulling, and biting him as he accepted her fury passively.

“Bastard, you’re shameless! Why did you collude with them to set me up? You were clearly going to meet Tessa, and you’ve ruined me,” she screamed.

“Enough,” Quinlan Aubrey grabbed Joy’s hands, “It’s you who have ruined me! Why did you even go to that room? Don’t think I took any advantage of you. Do you actually believe I enjoy mingling with you every day? It’s only for your family’s money that I tolerate this shit. You know what I am-I’m just a scoundrel who enjoys playing with women.”

Her eyes bloodshot, Joy Chaucer accused, “You raped me!”

“That was you throwing yourself at me,” retorted Quinlan, unapologetic. “I should have left you there. You were just embarrassing yourself, standing there all naked.”

Enraged, Joy shouted, “Asshole, after what you did to me, how can you even say that? I’m going to the police. I’ll tell my mother. I’ll make sure the Aubrey family goes bankrupt and can’t stay in the capital.”

“Joy Chaucer, do you want us to ruin each other? Don’t push me,” Quinlan fumed. “You knew Sloane drugged Tessa and yet you went to room 306. Were you warning Tessa? Stop lying. What are you even talking about?”

“How can I be wrong?” Joy snapped back.

“You just wanted to watch the good show,” Quinlan pointed out savagely. “Tonight’s mess is your own doing; you can only blame yourself. I told them we just loved each other so much that we could not wait, and at least that might save some face. If you really want to toss away your dignity, I’ll accompany you all the way. Go ahead, complain to the police. This isn’t your first time.”

After saying this, Quinlan stepped out of the car, slamming the door with such force as he left the car behind and walked away.

Inside the car, Joy Chaucer wept alone, clutching the blanket tightly, overwhelmed by the injustice she had just suffered, her cries filled the silence.

Her reputation was already not stellar, and now it had plummeted even further, mired deep in scandal.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Once their affair became public, it would become even harder for her to find relationships within their circle.

Upon hearing about the incident, Bianca raced to find Joy, finding her daughter nude and crying, wrapped in a blanket, her heart breaking, “Joy, what exactly happened? I heard you slept with Quinlan Aubrey at the birthday party. How could you both do this?”

“Mum,” Joy hugged Bianca, crying harder. “I was set up! I only went to check because I heard Sloane drugged Tessa. When I reached the door and saw it was open and quiet, I entered, and then… then… Tessa lied. It’s all too much from the Granger family. Mum, you must seek justice for me, and make Aubrey and Granger pay.”

Amidst her sobs, Joy narrated everything to Bianca. She did not lie, wanting her mother to help her clear her name.

“Joy, stop crying. I will handle this,” Bianca comforted her.

Relieved, Joy held onto her mother’s hand. “Mum, this must be Meredith. She maybe even planned the whole thing with the Granger sisters. Why else would she vouch for Tessa? Meredith still holds a grudge from when I framed her.”

“How could Meredith be involved? That’s not like her,” Bianca replied, trusting Meredith. “Joy, I’ll demand an explanation from the Aubrey family. How dare that Quinlan do such thing to my daughter! I’ll take you home first then head to the Aubrey’s. I’ll also speak with Mr. Granger for a resolution. You must tell me the truth.”

Aware of Quinlan’s questionable reputation, Bianca was furious thinking of her daughter being tainted by such a man.

“Mum, everything I told you is true. I’m now disgraced, defiled by that bastard Quinlan Aubrey. How can I face anyone?” Joy lamented.
