I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith didn’t stay; she feared losing her temper, and made everyone not happy.

As she turned to leave, Justin hurriedly called out, “Meredith, I…”

“This was your choice,” Meredith said, “Take care of your injuries.” With those words, she truly departed.

Fiona remarked, “Meredith wasn’t always this cold-hearted, how come she shows no compassion now?” While Fiona had previously despised Mr. Thatcher and his group, she now sided with Justin.

Ever since that incident created a rift, Fiona knew that Meredith would always be wary of her, and they could never return to how things were before. Her only option was to start with Justin.

Justin admitted, “Meredith has done so much for me; it’s me who has let her down.”

“Meredith will understand,” Fiona reassured, “Once you’re discharged, just apologize to her. She won’t stay mad at you.”

“Would you fetch the doctor for me, Fiona? I’d like to get out of here early,” Justin expressed his reluctance to stay in the hospital.

“Alright, rest for now,” Fiona responded, “I’ll go and call the doctor.”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

After Fiona left, she couldn’t find the attending physician. Recalling the headline she had seen that morning, she decided to call Joy Chaucer, only to find her phone was turned off.

“How is it turned off?” Fiona muttered to herself, worried.

Joy Chaucer was getting married-could this affect their plans? If Joy abandoned their scheme, beyond getting her revenge, Fiona would have no financial support. If things came to light, how would she repay her debts? She had to get Joy involved again; then she’d have something to leverage against Joy. Fiona planned beautifully, leaving herself a way out.

After that day, Justin recuperated in the hospital for half a month before finally being discharged. Meredith hadn’t visited the hospital again; she was busy adding some entertainment elements to her restaurant.

Gramma Sterling enjoyed live streaming, which just happened to promote Meredith’s restaurant. The dancers introduced by Azure weren’t famous one, but their dancing was unquestionable. For Meredith’s modest restaurant, as long as they looked and danced the part, it was enough.

While Meredith managed her restaurant, Terrence Sterling’s company faced a crisis. Following the recent data leak that caused significant losses, more troubles ensued.

Terrence was swamped at work, coming home later and later. Meredith, noting his fatigue, wanted to show concern but refrained from asking directly. From snippets gathered through Linda and Rick, she knew the company was in trouble.

Terrence’s business trips became more frequent, and Meredith’s pregnancy was becoming more noticeable. Stella, unable to hold back, frequently sent Julian with supplements for Meredith. Every time Meredith had a checkup, Julian would call to inquire about her condition. Meredith knew the facts full well yet chose not to confront them.

Time passed swiftly.

Ultimately, Joy Chaucer compromised and engaged Quinlan Aubrey, although Meredith and Terrence didn’t attend the engagement party. Stella and Julian went in their place. Meredith saw some photos of the engagement online. Joy Chaucer was stern-faced throughout, and Quinlan Aubrey appeared subdued, almost like a mere accessory.

The engagement party clearly showed that neither was invested.

Joy Chaucer returned from the engagement party and locked herself in her room, simmering with anger as she removed her makeup. She learned from Quinlan Aubrey that Tessa had initially been in Room 306 that night but was taken away by Meredith.

Thinking of this, she seethed with hatred towards Meredith. If not for Meredith taking Tessa away, none of what happened with Quinlan would have occurred, and there would be no engagement.

That night, the joke would have been on Tessa.

“Meredith, I will not let you get away with this,” Joy vowed silently, convinced Meredith had intentionally trapped her in Room 306.

“Joy,” Bianca knocked from outside, her voice laced with worry, “Joy, please open the door.”

Hearing Bianca’s voice only intensified Joy’s irritation, but she now restrained her temper. She wasn’t actually Bianca’s daughter-a fact now confirmed by a DNA test and something Chloe hadn’t lied about. This realization was why she agreed to engage Quinlan Aubrey.

Chloe could replace her at any time; without being Bianca’s daughter, she’d have nothing.
