I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

The security guard stood outside the courtyard, holding a flashlight. Terrence turned and glanced at him. The guard enthusiastically said, “Mr. Sterling, it’s been a long time since I saw you and Mrs. Sterling. Did you go on a trip? I just saw Mrs. Sterling leave again, and I thought you had left too.”

Terrence, who was about to enter the house, was shocked by the words “Mrs. Sterling left again.” He asked immediately, “What did you say? My wife left again?”

The guard replied, “Yes, she just left a while ago. Mrs. Sterling was lingering at the door for a long time. I was the one who opened it for her.”

Hearing this, Terrence was overjoyed. She had returned; she really had come back. But why did she leave again?

Terrence couldn’t understand. He asked excitedly, “Which direction did she go?”

“She went left from the East Gate.”

As soon as the guard finished speaking, Terrence rushed out and immediately drove to chase after her. The guard found it strange but didn’t think much of it.

The streets were bustling with traffic and people. Terrence drove around for a long time but didn’t see any familiar figure.

Terrence was anxious; he couldn’t find her. To locate Meredith, he parked by the roadside and called Rick: “Contact all the advertisers in the city immediately…”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Rick was thrilled to hear Terrence’s voice; he could hardly believe it was really his boss who had returned. Rick didn’t know why he needed to contact advertisers, but he followed orders without question.

That same evening, all employees of Sterling Corporation’s operations department were called back to work overtime for one purpose: to find their boss’s wife.

An hour after Terrence made the call, every possible advertising space in the city displayed a message: “Meredith, I know you have returned. Come home; I miss you. -Terrence.”

Terrence advertised throughout the city just to find Meredith.

All major shopping mall LED screens, bus stop signs, and taxis were displaying ads searching for Meredith.

Terrence had been missing for over half a year and now he was back, creating a sensation in the city. The big shots in various circles were all surprised.

People in the circle knew that Terrence had left because of his wife and now returned for her.

Real estate mogul Mr. Caldwell said, “Terrence is truly a devoted man.”

E-commerce giant Mr. Fielding added, “When Mrs. Sterling had an accident, Mr. Sterling immediately became a monk. How many people can do that?”

Naturally, this news reached Ravenwood as well. Grandma Sterling sighed when she heard about it but didn’t stop him; she let Terrence do as he wished.

Selene also saw the advertisements when she returned from dinner with the Wilkinson family elders. John was driving.

Everywhere they passed, there were advertisements.

John found it unbelievable: “What is Terrence doing? Isn’t Meredith dead? Didn’t he become a monk?”

Selene looked at the ads outside the car window and said, “Terrence is back.”

Mrs. Wilkinson was touched: “The Sterling family has produced a devoted man.”

Mr. Wilkinson agreed: “It’s rare indeed.”

Harvey, who was entertaining at some club, heard everyone talking about it and went out to see for himself; indeed, there were advertisements everywhere.

Learning that Terrence had returned, Harvey excitedly called him.

When the call connected, Harvey couldn’t contain his excitement: “Boss, you’re really back?”

On the other end of the line came Terrence’s deep voice: “Yes.”

“Where are you? I’ll come over right away.” Harvey was very happy.

Terrence replied succinctly: “At home.”

He was waiting for Meredith to come home.

The front door of his house was open because he worried that Meredith might not be able to get in or might have forgotten the door code.

Meredith was still alive but hadn’t come home yet. Terrence thought maybe she had lost her memory like Prince Darcy once did and forgot the way home.

Less than an hour after hanging up the phone, Harvey arrived in a hurry.

“Boss!”

Seeing the open door, Harvey walked in with big strides and found Terrence sitting on the living room sofa. He was ecstatic: “Boss, you’re back.”
