I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Bianca, too frightened, covered her eyes as the onlookers let out a scream. The firefighters, upon seeing the situation, attempted to rush over but were too far to reach in time. At the critical moment, a figure darted forward and grabbed Ruby’s hand. It was Meredith.

While Ruby and Bianca were distracted in conversation, Meredith had quietly moved closer. Despite her fear of heights, she had stepped over the railing onto the ledge. Just as Ruby was falling, Meredith caught her hand. Due to the momentum, Meredith leaned forward, nearly falling off the building herself, but a firefighter grabbed her just in time.

Ruby and Meredith were left hanging in mid-air, causing the crowd below to gasp in shock. Some even pulled out their phones to record the scene and uploaded it to all sorts of websites. Bianca turned pale with fright, her legs weakening, relying entirely on her secretary to stand firm.

Ruby, in astonishment, looked at Meredith who had saved her. “Hold on,” Meredith encouraged Ruby, and herself, as she felt her strength waning. Her arms strained, Ruby’s hand slipping little by little until, with gritted teeth, Meredith managed to hold on. “Quick, come help us,” a firefighter shouted.

Other firefighters and police officers quickly came forward to help pull Meredith and Ruby to safety. Ruby, once safe, seemed soulless, her legs weak as she sat on the ground. Meredith, feeling pain in her arm, moved it around and stood up. She then said to Ruby, “If you had really died, your parents wouldn’t rest easy either. Live well, if death doesn’t scare you, what hurdle can’t you overcome?”

Ruby looked up at Meredith and suddenly burst into tears, crying, “Dad, Mom, it’s my fault.” She vented her anguish through her tears. At that moment, the police officer handling the case of Joy Chaucer’s car accident arrived and took Ruby away.

As Ruby was being led away, she coldly looked at Bianca and cursed, “Bianca, you indulge your daughter, but one day you’ll pay for it. I curse you to a miserable and lonely end, dying by your own daughter’s hand.” Ruby’s curse struck Bianca like a sharp knife to her heart, causing a painful twinge. Bianca had a bad feeling about it.

The hatred in Ruby’s tone was intense, as if it could not be dissolved even over several lifetimes. Bianca, wordless, watched as Ruby was taken away. Meredith, standing behind Bianca, noticed her pale face and slight trembling.

Though Ruby was taken away, the incident was far from over. The news spread online, and with Joy Chaucer as the heir to Falconer Holdings, Ruby’s public accusation against Joy Chaucer for killing her parents and Bianca’s cover-up became viral. The internet was abuzz with criticism of Joy Chaucer’s heartlessness and Bianca’s enabling behavior, predicting doom for both.

Meanwhile, Meredith was celebrated online for her bravery. The danger of the situation was evident, a mere misstep could have led to tragedy. In the hospital, Joy Chaucer, upon seeing the news, was infuriated, her past scandal resurfacing, putting her back under public scrutiny. She smashed her phone in anger, cursing Meredith’s ubiquitous presence.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
