I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Terrence hugged his daughter and kissed her cheek. His eyes lit up with a renewed hope for life. After spending some time with her, he handed Little Lucky to Azure and left the house.

Azure watched Terrence’s departing figure and muttered to herself, “I hope it’s really Meredith; otherwise, I don’t know how you’ll cope.” One can be cast into hell once but cannot endure it a second time.

Terrence arrived at the police station and, after some inquiries, followed the police to find the car owner.

Meanwhile, Audrey had packed her bags and said goodbye to her family. Peter rode his bike to take her to the airport. On the way, Audrey made a stop at the cemetery. Peter parked at the entrance and accompanied her inside.

Audrey approached a tombstone and placed a bouquet of fresh flowers in front of it. “I’m going to Auroraville. You saved my life; thank you. I will fulfill your last wish.” She burned some paper offerings before leaving with Peter.

At the airport, Peter looked concerned. “Audrey, call me if you need anything. If you can’t get used to life there, come back. No matter what, you’ll always be my sister. Dad and I will be waiting for you here.”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Audrey hugged Peter and smiled. “Come on, you’re all grown up now. Don’t cry. Pete, thank you. Thank you and Dad.”

“Audrey,” Peter said reluctantly but knew he couldn’t stop her. “Stay safe, and let me know if you run out of money.”

“Okay,” Audrey replied as she picked up her luggage and headed towards security. Her heart told her she belonged in Auroraville.

After passing through security and boarding the plane, Audrey looked into the distance, clutching her chest. In her heart, she said, “I’m going home.”

Terrence found out that the car had been lent to a friend’s son. When he and the police arrived at the Flack family’s place, Peter had just returned from dropping Audrey off at the airport.

Seeing the police at his door, Peter asked, “Who are you looking for?”

Terrence turned around and immediately recognized Peter from last night with Meredith at the night market. Controlling his emotions, Terrence asked, “Are you Peter? Where is the woman who was with you last night? Where is she?”

Peter asked back, “Are you looking for my sister? Who are you, and what do you want with her?”

“Your sister?” Terrence pressed on. “Where is she?”

“She’s gone,” Peter replied. “What do you want with her? She hasn’t done anything wrong.”

The police explained, “No, this gentleman’s wife is missing. The woman with you last night looks very much like his wife, so we need to confirm.”

Peter quickly understood what was going on and glanced at Terrence twice. So this is the man…

Peter calmed down and said, “Then you’ve got the wrong person. My sister isn’t married; she can’t be who you’re looking for. Besides, she’s already left town; I just dropped her off at the airport.”

Hearing that she had left, Terrence asked excitedly, “Where did she go?”

“Auroraville,” Peter lied casually. “She went there for work. Anyway, my sister isn’t who you’re looking for; she’s not married. Stop spreading rumors that could ruin her reputation.”

Going to Auroraville was true; working there was false.

Peter knew his sister’s real purpose for going to Auroraville.

Terrence stared at Peter intently. “What’s your sister’s name? Her contact information.”

“You’re really strange; why should I tell you?” Peter retorted defiantly. “Officer, this man is slandering my sister and harassing us. Can I press charges against him?”

The police quickly tried to calm Terrence down. “Mr. Sterling, please calm down. Maybe we really have the wrong person; let’s go back to the station and check again.”

Peter ignored Terrence and went inside but sensed Terrence’s gaze on him as he walked away. He stopped and turned back to say loudly, “If you want to find my sister, go to Auroraville; she’s not here anymore. You’re a step too late; whether you meet her or not depends on your luck.”

Peter’s words carried a deeper meaning that made Terrence’s eyes narrow slightly. “Do you know me?”

From Peter’s words, Terrence felt that he knew him and seemed certain he would look for her.

Peter said nothing more and went inside directly.
