I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Selene disagreed, “If she’s a fake, I won’t let her deceive people and tarnish Meredith’s name.”

Although Selene hadn’t known Meredith for long, she considered her one of her few true friends and wouldn’t allow anyone to impersonate Meredith.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Harvey asked, “But what if, just hypothetically, the boss accepts this fake sister-in-law?”

“Impossible,” Selene said firmly. “Terrence would never accept anyone other than Meredith, even if they looked identical.”

Harvey was speechless. He felt that Selene understood Terrence better than he did.

That evening, Selene had other matters to attend to and didn’t linger with Harvey. “I have to go.”

Harvey felt a bit reluctant. He had thought that after Selene was released from prison, they would have more time together. However, Selene seemed busy with family business and handling matters related to Meredith.

Feeling slightly aggrieved but unwilling to express it-after all, it wouldn’t be manly to act sentimental in front of a woman-he said, “I’ll walk you out.”

“No need,” Selene replied. “I drove.”

Harvey sighed and escorted Selene to the parking lot. Having a highly capable girlfriend often made him feel useless.

Selene didn’t need protection; she wasn’t a delicate girl. She could drive, fly planes and tanks, and take down ten grown men with her bare hands. With her sharp mind and keen instincts of an assassin, she was formidable.

In terms of family background, Selene was the heir to the Wilkinson Group, and her brother was a counter-terrorism squad leader. As for appearance and manners, she was top-notch.

As Selene started her car and prepared to leave, she caught a glimpse of Harvey looking frustrated by the roadside. She seemed to understand something.

Rolling down the window, she leaned out and said, “Once I’m done with this busy period, let’s go out together.”

Harvey’s eyes lit up as he eagerly nodded. “Sure.”

Selene continued, “This is my first time dating someone. I’m not used to relying on others. The only person I’ve ever trusted with my back is Hya. Harvey, the Celestial Alliance never taught me how to date, so… I…”

Harvey understood. Seeing Selene’s earnest explanation mixed with innocence made his heart flutter. Standing by the car door, he bent slightly and kissed Selene on the lips.

It was Harvey’s first bold move; he had always wanted to do it. He kept it brief and respectful.

Selene’s cheeks flushed as memories of accidentally touching Harvey’s sensitive area flooded her mind, making her heart race.

Harvey smiled and said, “Selene, I’m sorry for being petty. In relationships, men should take the initiative. You focus on your tasks for now; we have plenty of time ahead. See you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow,” Selene replied shyly, avoiding eye contact with Harvey.

This time, Selene drove off directly to the address Mr. Wilkinson had given her. Upon arrival, she found Elsa there too.

Elsa had insisted on coming with Mr. Wilkinson today. Since Mr. Wilkinson decided that Selene would inherit the company, Elsa had become more serious about joining the business as well.

Mr. Wilkinson treated his daughters equally and saw Elsa’s ambition as a good sign.

“Selene,” Elsa greeted cheerfully. “Dad brought me here; all the uncles are here too-they’ve been family friends for years.”

Elsa flaunted her familiarity with their father’s associates in front of Selene.

“Okay,” Selene replied indifferently and walked inside.

Inside the private room were six people including Mr. Wilkinson-all around his age and both business partners and old friends whom Selene had met at a recent homecoming party.

Seeing Selene arrive, Mr. Wilkinson stood up smiling and said, “Selene, come sit next to me.”

He then addressed the others, “No need for introductions today.”

Selene took the seat beside Mr. Wilkinson while Elsa hid her jealousy behind a composed facade as she returned to her seat.

Elsa then feigned interest in learning more about business by asking a middle-aged man nearby, “Mr. Blackwood, I found your discussion with my dad about the new energy project fascinating. Could you elaborate more?”

The man chuckled and said, “Mr. Wilkinson, your younger daughter has quite a knack for business! It’s rare for young women to take an interest in new energy-she has potential.”
