I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Harvey realized he had misspoken and quickly added, “I mean, isn’t Meredith a woman? If she’s a woman, she must have desires. It’s like when people are hungry, they need to eat. If she doesn’t come home to eat, it means she’s eaten outside…” As he spoke, Harvey slapped his own mouth. What nonsense was he spouting? The more he talked, the more ridiculous it sounded. Wasn’t he implying that Terrence had been betrayed?

Harvey hurriedly explained, “Boss, that’s not what I meant. I’m just bad with words. You know I always failed language classes in school.”

Terrence didn’t respond. He had taken Harvey’s words to heart. A bold guess emerged in his mind-could it be that Audrey had someone she liked?

The thought made Terrence even more restless. How could he not keep a woman? It would be a joke if word got out.

“I’ll head back now,” Terrence said with a stern face as he stood up to leave.

Harvey regretted his words and slapped his mouth again. His mouth had caused trouble once more. But then he thought about how Audrey couldn’t possibly cheat on Terrence, which reassured him.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Harvey also left without finishing his meal. As soon as he got home, John came knocking.

Harvey was surprised but immediately put on a welcoming attitude when he remembered that Selene was John’s sister. He greeted John warmly, “Mr. Wilkinson, come in. What’s the matter?”

John’s face was expressionless. “I won’t come in. I’m here to inform you that Sarah will be released the day after tomorrow.”

Thinking about Harvey’s notorious past and reputation in their circle, John wished he could break Harvey’s legs.

Hearing that Selene would be released, Harvey was overjoyed. “I’ll definitely be there the day after tomorrow. Did Sarah ask you to inform me? Please tell her I’ll be there.”

“Harvey,” John warned seriously, “if you dare to betray Sarah or have divided loyalties, don’t blame me for being unkind.”

Harvey raised his hand and swore, “If I betray Sarah, let me…”

“We’re all men here; spare me the theatrics,” John snorted coldly. “Behave yourself.”

With that, John left.

The thought of Selene being released and specifically asking John to inform him made Harvey extremely excited. He decided to give Selene a surprise. Her release marked a new beginning for both of them, and such an important day deserved a sense of ceremony.

…

Back at the Wilkinson family home.

John returned home to find his parents still busy and too excited to sleep.

Passing by his parents’ room, John knocked and entered. “Mom, Dad, still awake?”

Mrs. Wilkinson replied, “We can’t sleep. Your dad and I are planning the welcome-back party.”

Mr. Wilkinson said, “John, we should go early when your sister is released from prison-around eight in the morning?”

“Yes, eight in the morning,” John confirmed. “Mom, Dad, there’s someone else who will be coming along; I wanted to let you know in advance.”

“Who?” Mr. Wilkinson asked. “Who else knows about Sarah’s imprisonment? Is it one of her friends?”

John succinctly replied, “A male friend.”

The smart Wilkinson parents immediately understood-it was a boyfriend.

Mrs. Wilkinson was surprised. “Who is it? When did Sarah get a boyfriend?”

Mr. Wilkinson also asked, “Who is this person? How does he treat Sarah?”

John said, “You both know him-it’s Harvey. He will be picking Sarah up the day after tomorrow.”

“Why him?” Mrs. Wilkinson frowned. “Harvey has a bad reputation; why would Sarah choose someone like him?”

Mr. Wilkinson also frowned. “Really?”

“Sarah asked me to personally inform Harvey; it’s an agreement between them,” John explained. “Mom, Dad, Sarah is starting a new life. If she can move past her old shadows and date like an ordinary girl, it’s a good thing! Besides, if Sarah chose him, he can’t be that bad. If Harvey dares to betray Sarah, with her personality, she’d kick him out immediately.”

John spoke up for Selene because he didn’t want her to face difficulties later on.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson exchanged glances before Mrs. Wilkinson said, “John is right; it’s not easy for Sarah to take this first step-we should support her. If Harvey dares to bully Sarah, our family won’t stand for it.”

Mr. Wilkinson agreed, “That’s true; we should support her. Sarah has suffered enough-this is a good thing. I’ll look into this Harvey tomorrow and see what he’s about.”

As they chatted in the room, they completely overlooked Elsa standing outside the door.
