I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

The word “wife” made Meredith’s heart beat faster, causing her to immediately turn away, unable to meet Terrence Sterling’s gaze.

They had only just started dating, how did things escalate so quickly?

Terrence Sterling could see through Meredith’s reaction, a hint of a smile in his eyes as he spoke to his grandmother on the phone, “Grandma, it’s getting late, you should rest.”

“Alright.” Mrs. Sterling was pleased, “You better not lie to Grandma this time, Grandma still wants to hold her great-grandson.”

After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Sterling turned to Stella and said, “Terry said he will bring Charlotte back, looks like it’s settled.”

Stella was too afraid to ask Terrence Sterling directly, so she urged Mrs. Sterling to inquire.

Upon hearing that Terrence Sterling was considering marriage, Stella was overjoyed, “It looks like everything is going smoothly, I should start preparing in case they get engaged next Tuesday. Joy’s birthday is coming up, Terry might propose to Joy, I need to be ready in advance.”

Stella thought Terrence Sterling had agreed to bring Joy Chaucer back and agreed to the marriage, she was thrilled.

After ending the call, Terrence Sterling walked over to Meredith and sat down, glancing at the screen of her tablet, “Southwesterly Meadows? Are you in charge of this project?”

Meredith nodded, “Yes, Mrs. Chaucer entrusted it to me personally. Mrs. Chaucer values me and treats me well, I can’t disappoint her. So, I must win the bid for this project.”

Meredith had put in a lot of effort for this project, and was now waiting to bid next month.

Terrence Sterling reached out to ruffle Meredith’s hair, a familiar and intimate gesture, his tone affectionate, “You can do it, I believe in you.”

Meredith was confident, “I don’t see any problem either.”

“On your birthday next Tuesday, do you have any plans?” Terrence Sterling casually peeled an orange and offered it to Meredith, “How about inviting your friends for a meal? Introduce me to your friends at the same time?”

Meredith immediately gave him a look, “I think you just want the whole world to know you exist.”

Usually, it’s the women who are eager to make such requests, but at this stage, it was Terrence Sterling making them to Meredith.

As a boyfriend, Terrence Sterling was doing well. He knew how to peel an orange without being asked. One might think they were an old married couple.

Terrence Sterling held the orange to Meredith’s lips, a smile on his face, “If you feel uncomfortable, we can forget it. There’s no rush anyway. The way I am now may not be up to your standards.”

Meredith’s lips twitched. The tone of disappointment made it seem like she was greatly wronged.

Staring at him, Meredith said, “Terrence Sterling, why do I feel like you’re being a bit bitchy?”

Where did he learn that bitchy tone from?

Meredith found it hard to resist. A boyfriend worth billions, and yet not presentable?

Spoiling women seem to have a good life, but when men do it, it’s hard to resist.

Terrence Sterling smiled, “It’s definitely your imagination. Alright, let’s stop working and go to bed.”

With that, he pulled her onto the bed.

Although they were only going to sleep, saying it so openly, could she help but have thoughts?Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

After spending these two days together, Meredith realized that Terrence Sterling’s aloofness was all an act. In reality, he was cunning and proud, domineering yet gentle, sometimes incredibly warm, as if he wanted to make someone surrender themselves to him.

He was truly a treasure… of a man.

Terrence Sterling could no longer be called a boy now, he had been ‘conquered’ by her.

Feeling tired, Meredith decided to sleep next to Terrence Sterling.

Habits were quite scary; after just two nights of sleeping beside him, Meredith was already addicted. Having him hold her as she slept made her feel secure.

Quickly drifting off to sleep, Terrence Sterling took advantage of her slumber to send a message to Rick Shepard: “We are giving up the Southwesterly Meadows project.”

He couldn’t compete with his girlfriend, and the project didn’t earn much, so he decided to give it to Meredith, just to make her happy.

For the next few days, Terrence Sterling stayed comfortably at Meredith’s place.

When Harvey Fieldmouse called to ask where he was, Terrence Sterling, in a bragging tone, replied, “I’m at my girlfriend’s house, been staying here for the past few days, why, anything up?”
