I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Joy Chaucer felt like she had lost all face. After all, she was the cherished daughter of the Chaucer family, the sole heiress of Falconer Holdings. Despite many suitors vying for her affection, Terrence Sterling disregarded her completely. From their respective family backgrounds, they were a perfect match.

Among all the men pursuing her, Joy Chaucer couldn’t care less about any of them. In her mind, only a man of Terrence Sterling’s caliber could be worthy of her.

When Bianca received her daughter’s call, she was a bit surprised. “What’s wrong? He shouldn’t be so rude, maybe something has happened. Joy, I’ve told you not to be too forward. Let me handle these matters. Why did you go look for him?”

“I’ve been humiliated.” Joy Chaucer said indignantly and worriedly. “Next week is my birthday party, I’ve announced that Terrence Sterling will attend. What if he doesn’t show up? I’ll be so embarrassed, my friends will mock me.”

Bianca reassured her: “He will come to your birthday party. Today his mother personally called me. They will attend your birthday party together.”

With those words, Joy Chaucer felt much better. She chose to believe that Terrence Sterling was genuinely unwell and didn’t want to see anyone. It was probably Rick Shepard’s deliberate attempt to challenge her, not Terrence Sterling’s intention at all.

Every year on Joy Chaucer’s birthday, Bianca would carefully prepare a grand birthday party.

She had missed out on fifteen years of Joy Chaucer’s life, and Bianca had been doing her best to make it up to her daughter.

After finishing the call, Bianca went to a meeting. As she walked out of the office, she ran into Meredith and called her over. “Meredith, prepare the materials for the meeting and take them to the conference room.”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Meredith replied, “Yes, Mrs. Chaucer.”

Meredith immediately turned to busy herself, and Bianca watched her back for a moment. For some reason, she felt that Meredith was a nice person, and she quite liked her.

Today, Meredith was in a good mood, approaching everything with enthusiasm and energy.

Just the thought of Terrence Sterling made her wish time would fly so she could finish work early and go see him at Thornfield Gardens. They had only been separated for a few hours, but she felt like it had been ages since she last saw him.

Meredith found it amazing. This was her first experience of love, and her whole life was now filled with colors because of him.

During lunchtime, just as she sat down to eat, her phone rang.

Terrence Sterling sent her a message: “Having lunch?”

It was just a simple greeting, but when Meredith saw the message, her heart raced inexplicably, every cell in her body felt like it was immersed in honey.

This must be what love feels like.

“Eating.” Meredith deliberately waited three minutes before replying. This was called restraint even when they were together, a little ‘playing hard to get’ was necessary.

Meredith’s little strategy worked well. In those three minutes, Terrence Sterling checked his phone at least ten times, waiting for Meredith’s response.

When the message alert sounded, Terrence Sterling immediately picked up his phone to read it.

Harvey Fieldmouse, sitting across from him, couldn’t stand it anymore. “Boss, love is making you act like a fool. You’re thirty years old, yet you behave like a seventeen-year-old boy in love. This isn’t even your first relationship.”

Learning that Terrence Sterling was injured, Harvey Fieldmouse came to Thornfield Gardens to visit him. He was surprised to hear that Meredith had agreed to be Terrence Sterling’s girlfriend. He was thrilled to be the first to know about Terrence Sterling having a girlfriend.

Terrence Sterling raised an eyebrow. “Meredith is my first love.”

Harvey Fieldmouse stared at Terrence Sterling in disbelief. “But boss, what about the one from before…”

He was about to mention Azure, who left years ago, but Terrence Sterling immediately thought of Fiona and said, “She doesn’t count.”

Harvey Fieldmouse thought Terrence Sterling was referring to Azure, and they were completely on different pages, but their conversation somehow still aligned.

Ignoring the past, Terrence Sterling didn’t want to dwell on it. Instead, he was curious about something else. “Boss, how did you get Miss Florrick to agree? Why did you choose her? Is this just a fling, or something serious?”

Terrence Sterling replied to Meredith’s message, lifted his tea, and said, “The woman I met at Grandmere, that was Meredith.”
