I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Chapter 80: Longing for Family Love



Fiona disappeared just like that, leaving Meredith and Justin feeling a bit frantic.

Meredith was scared, scared that something had happened to Fiona.

She didn’t care about saving face anymore, she removed Fiona from the blacklist and sent her a message.

But, it said they were not friends.

Fiona had also blocked her.

Phone calls were out of the question, also blocked.

Meredith tried various ways to find out Fiona’s whereabouts, but to no avail.

Meredith spent the night feeling uneasy.

The next day.

Meredith went to work as usual and as she came out of the elevator in the building, she saw workers bringing in a bed from outside.

And following them was Terrence Sterling.

Meredith was dumbfounded, Terrence Sterling really sending a bed over?

So early in the morning, Terrence Sterling was here for real?

Terrence Sterling walked up to her, “Open the door upstairs, we’ll bring the bed up.”

“Mr. Sterling,” Meredith was exasperated, “What exactly are you up to?”

Terrence Sterling smirked, “Seems like I wasn’t clear enough last night, shall I try again?”

Meredith immediately remembered the bed-breaking kiss from last night, realizing what Terrence Sterling meant, she instinctively covered her mouth.

This guy, daring to do such a thing in broad daylight.

Terrence Sterling chuckled, amusement in his eyes, he finally knew what Meredith was afraid of.

“Give me the keys, you go to work, I’ll take them upstairs.”

That sounded very casual, one would think they were a couple.

The bed at home was broken, Meredith had spent the night curling up on the sofa, a new bed was necessary.

However, accepting the bed he sent, did that mean she agreed to what he said last night?

While Meredith was conflicted, Terrence Sterling took the keys from her pocket, “Hurry up to work, you’ll be late.”

Saying that, Terrence Sterling directed, “Please help bring it up.”

Meredith was once again shocked by Terrence Sterling’s audacious behavior.

And at that moment, the elevator door next to them opened, and a man walked out, Meredith’s tenant from downstairs.

The man glanced at the bed being brought into the elevator with a strange look at Meredith and Terrence Sterling.

Although the man said nothing, when that gaze came over, Meredith had a feeling of embarrassment, and hurriedly walked away, no longer caring about the bed.

She had forty minutes left before work started, she wouldn’t make it by subway.

Meredith arrived at the company, absent-mindedly working, her mind filled with thoughts of Terrence Sterling sending the bed to her house.

A colleague approached, “Meredith, have you finished the proposal? Mrs. Chaucer is pushing for it, hurry and send it over.”

Meredith came back to reality, “I’ll go right away.”

Meredith didn’t dare delay, she took the proposal and went to Mrs. Chaucer’s office.

Today wasn’t her lucky day, Mrs. Chaucer’s daughter, Joy Chaucer, was also there.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

As Meredith knocked and entered, Joy Chaucer was sweetly pleading with Bianca Chaucer, “Mom, I really like him, please help me out, we have an engagement, if you speak to him, he’ll agree for sure.”

Meredith handed over the proposal, “Mrs. Chaucer, this is the proposal from Regal Vista Development.”

“Okay.” Bianca didn’t even glance at Meredith, instead, she lovingly addressed her daughter, “Joy, you go back first, Mom is busy, we’ll talk about this later, this issue can’t be rushed, a marriage needs two people loving each other, only then can life be beautiful.”

“Just because he might not like me now, feelings can be nurtured, Mom, my happiness depends on you.” Joy Chaucer hugged Bianca for a moment, saying, “I’ll be home for dinner tonight, I won’t disturb your work anymore, you need to take care of yourself too, not just work all the time.”

In front of Bianca, Joy was good at being coy, always playing the good daughter.

Whatever she wanted, as long as she acted cute, Bianca would indulge her.

“Okay, okay.” Bianca smiled, pouring all her hopes and efforts into this daughter of hers, “If you’re willing to come work for me, then I’ll be relieved.”

Joy cooed, “I’ll play for another year, then I’ll come work for you, Mom, I’ll leave now.”

Watching the tender scene between mother and daughter, Meredith felt an indescribable envy in her heart.

To be able to act cute in front of her mother, that was a luxury she never dared to dream of.

She didn’t even know where her biological mother was now, and there was no news on the adoption website either.

As Joy left, passing by Meredith, she glanced at her, feeling a sense of familiarity but not recognizing her, the two had clashed outside Falconer Holdings before.

When Joy looked at herself, Meredith was nervous, if she was recognized, she would surely lose her job.

Joy gave Meredith a brief glance before walking out in her high heels.
