I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

With just these words, the message was clear.

There was a strong sense of showiness in the air.

Harvey Fieldmouse couldn’t help but laugh, “Boss, do you have to flaunt this in front of a single guy like me?”

Living together was quite an achievement.

Ever since Terrence Sterling got together with Meredith, Harvey Fieldmouse felt like he was getting to know a whole new side of Terrence Sterling.

The old Terrence Sterling would never have been this cocky.

Despite being a billionaire, with women lining up to get into his bed, Terrence Sterling only had eyes for Meredith. He couldn’t persuade Meredith to come to Thornfield Gardens, so he ended up moving into her place instead.

Harvey Fieldmouse never realized before, but Terrence Sterling was actually a romantic. It seemed like Terrence Sterling would do anything for Meredith.

With a smile in his voice, Terrence Sterling said, “You wouldn’t understand the happiness of having a girlfriend.”

“Boss, I may be single now, but I’m not without experience,” Harvey Fieldmouse teased. “Just checking in on you, staying at Miss Florrick’s place every day, if anything strenuous were to happen, it would be hard for you to recover.”

This struck a nerve with Terrence Sterling, as he had been injured and there hadn’t been much progress during his time at Meredith’s place.

With his wound still not healed, Terrence Sterling was worried about not being able to perform well and giving Meredith a bad experience.

In his first moments of clarity, he had to make sure to leave a good impression on Meredith, to prevent her from losing confidence in him.

It was a matter of a man’s pride.

Hitting too close to home, Harvey Fieldmouse said, “Your wound is healing well, don’t worry, you’ll survive another day.”

“Ha, Boss, it’s not that bad, I haven’t done anything yet…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Terrence Sterling hung up the phone.

Harvey Fieldmouse stared at the now silent phone and burst out laughing. A friend beside him asked, “Mr. Fieldmouse, why are you so happy? Tell us, who is Boss’ new girlfriend after all?”

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t be asking. Boss will shut me up later,” Harvey Fieldmouse firmly kept his mouth shut this time.

…

Glancing at the calendar, Terrence Sterling realized that tomorrow was Tuesday, which meant it was Meredith’s birthday.

He had to prepare a birthday gift.

It couldn’t be too expensive, as Meredith wouldn’t accept it. Terrence Sterling decided to go to the mall and pick out a gift himself.

He then made a phone call, and John appeared downstairs in half an hour.

Terrence Sterling got in the car and said, “To Emporium.”

Upon arriving at Emporium, Terrence Sterling headed straight to the jewelry section.

He entered a branded store, where a saleswoman immediately approached him, “Hello sir, how can I assist you?”

Terrence Sterling said, “I’d like to see some necklaces.”

The saleswoman was a bit shy, as she had never seen such a handsome man before.

“Sir, please follow me. We have some new designs. Is this for your girlfriend or mother? What is your budget?”

“For my girlfriend,” Terrence Sterling thought for a moment, “around a hundred thousand will do. It’s my girlfriend’s birthday tomorrow, and I want to buy a necklace for her as a gift.”

It had to be affordable, as Meredith wouldn’t accept anything too extravagant.

The saleswoman admired, “Sir, your girlfriend is very lucky. Have a look at these, they are all very suitable.”

Finding such a handsome boyfriend who could afford such an expensive gift, who wouldn’t be envious?

After browsing for a while, Terrence Sterling’s eyes landed on a necklace with a four-leaf clover pendant.

Clovers symbolize luck and are also known as lucky charms.

“I’ll take this one,” Terrence Sterling pointed at the four-leaf clover necklace.

“Sir, you have a great taste. This necklace was designed by a famous designer, Frankland. They named it Felicity’s Love. And it’s a runway piece for this year. It’s priced at one hundred and fifty-nine thousand eight hundred. Shall I wrap it up for you?”

“Please do.” Terrence Sterling handed his credit card to the saleswoman.

As Terrence Sterling was making the payment, Joy Chaucer, who was out shopping with a friend, happened to catch sight of him through the window.

Joy Chaucer was surprised, “Terrence Sterling seems to be buying something himself. Could it be a gift?”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

A friend remarked, “Why don’t you go check it out? Joy, tomorrow is your birthday, maybe he’s buying it for you.”

At these words, Joy Chaucer’s vanity was greatly satisfied.

Just then, Terrence Sterling walked out of the jewelry store with the purchased necklace. Joy Chaucer pulled her friend and they entered the store.

Joy Chaucer went straight to the saleswoman and asked, “What did that guy just buy? What is it for?”
