I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith had lunch and then returned to her workstation to continue working.

As the Marketing Manager, Joy Chaucer had to review all department proposals.

Meredith brought her completed proposal to Joy Chaucer’s office. Joy Chaucer was on the phone, painting her nails, and had music, afternoon tea, and fruit nearby.

Meredith handed the proposal to her, saying, “Miss Chaucer, this is the proposal for the Southwesterly Meadows project. Mrs. Chaucer wants us to finalize it before the end of the day.”

Joy Chaucer didn’t even glance at it and said, “Just leave it and go.”

Meredith didn’t say anything and walked out.

After she left, Joy Chaucer threw her proposal directly into the trash.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

From the moment Meredith put on that necklace, she was destined not to be liked by Joy Chaucer.

Meredith waited at her desk for a long time, not receiving a response. As it was almost time to leave, Mrs. Chaucer’s assistant came to find her and said, “Meredith, you haven’t finished the Southwesterly Meadows proposal? Mrs. Chaucer is waiting for it.”

Meredith said, “I submitted it to Miss Chaucer in the afternoon. I’ll go ask her.”

Meredith hurried to Joy Chaucer’s office and asked, “Miss Chaucer, did you look at the proposal I submitted earlier?”

Joy Chaucer was drinking coffee and browsing through some boring documents provided by Bianca. She was uninterested and trying to stay awake by drinking coffee.

Joy Chaucer, with a clueless expression, said, “What proposal? I didn’t see it.”

Meredith reminded her, “Miss Chaucer, I submitted a proposal for you to review at three o’clock.”

“No,” Joy Chaucer said coldly, “I didn’t receive any proposal today. Alright, it’s time for me to leave.”

Joy Chaucer put down the documents, grabbed her bag, and prepared to leave.

This day was too boring for Joy Chaucer.

“Miss Chaucer…” Meredith called out anxiously.

Joy Chaucer left directly.

Meredith also realized that Joy Chaucer was doing it on purpose, and the reason was undoubtedly the necklace she was wearing.

She didn’t understand why Joy Chaucer rejected the necklace, but she had to quickly create another proposal to submit to Mrs. Chaucer.

Meredith had the habit of making a backup, so she quickly made a copy of the proposal.

After finishing her work, Meredith left the office late and walked to the subway.

On the subway, Meredith thought about Ruby, who had left in a hurry. She had Ruby’s contact information, so she sent a message asking, “Ruby, are you okay?”

There was no response.

Meredith arrived at the end of the line without a reply. She didn’t dwell on it and soon forgot about the message.

Back home, the house was empty and Terrence Sterling wasn’t there.

She was used to coming home every day to see Terrence Sterling, and his sudden absence left Meredith feeling a strange sense of anxiety.

Meredith realized how terrifying habits could be.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally sent a message to Terrence Sterling: “When will you be back?”

She received a quick response.

Terrence Sterling: “In an hour.”

Seeing the reply, Meredith felt reassured. She started to cook and didn’t ask Terrence Sterling where he had been.

He had a big company to manage, so he couldn’t possibly stay with her every day.

At Ravenwood Hall.

Terrence Sterling had returned to visit his grandmother, and Stella seized the opportunity to ask him where he had been the day before. She had checked his schedule at the company and found that he hadn’t been there for a few days.

It meant that Terrence Sterling was not busy.

“Son, why didn’t you attend the birthday party yesterday? I checked with your company, and you haven’t been there for a few days. What are you busy with?”

Terrence Sterling calmly peeled an apple for his grandmother, as if he hadn’t heard Stella’s words.

Mrs. Sterling defended Terrence Sterling and said to Stella, “Stella, my grandson is all grown up. You don’t need to watch over him everywhere. If he’s not busy working, then he must be out with his girlfriend, right Terry? Tell your grandma, is that true.”

Mrs. Sterling was sometimes confused and sometimes clear-headed.

“Yes,” Terrence Sterling gave an apple slice to his grandmother. “Try it.”

Stella was shocked. “Son, do you have a girlfriend?”

Mrs. Sterling exclaimed happily, “Then when are you going to bring your girlfriend back to see your grandma?”

Terrence Sterling smiled faintly. “Soon.”

He ignored Stella’s words again.

“Can it be tomorrow?” Mrs. Sterling insisted, “Bring her back tomorrow.”

Terrence Sterling used a tone to coax a child and said, “Not tomorrow, grandma. Wait a bit longer, or you’ll scare Charlotte away.”
