I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Justin has always liked Meredith. Meredith filled Justin’s entire adolescence, stunning his world. She was the girl he used all his tenderness for, the one he wanted to protect. This secret, Justin had never told anyone, now suddenly revealed by Fiona, left him feeling a bit disoriented.

Justin vehemently denied, “Fiona, don’t talk nonsense, when did I like Meredith…”

“You don’t even have the courage to admit it, how can you pursue Meredith?” Fiona sneered, “Your actions are so obvious, who can’t see that you like her? From childhood to adulthood, you gave everything to Meredith first. Even if you were hungry, you would still save the only piece of bread for her.”

Justin was powerless to argue, but he still advised, “Why are you doing this? Go talk to her straight away, Fiona. You have a lot of years of sisterhood, don’t hurt Meredith’s feelings.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“You still want to defend her now? You think about her everywhere, what about me?” Fiona was extremely jealous. “Justin, stop thinking about her in everything. If I told her, Meredith would be with Terrence Sterling, and you would have no chance. I can help you pursue Meredith, you two grew up together, you are the perfect match.”

Fiona’s words were not sincere, she just didn’t want Meredith to overshadow her. “As long as she’s happy, I’ll be satisfied,” Justin said. “Terrence Sterling’s conditions are much better than mine in every way. If Meredith chooses him, I’ll be happy for her.”

“You’re so foolish,” Fiona was furious. She hoped Justin would pursue Meredith, and Justin’s lack of resistance disappointed her.

“Fiona, I like her because I want her to be happy. I don’t care who makes her happy, as long as she is, I will be happy,” Justin said rationally. “I like her, but I know I can’t give her a good life. I make twenty thousand a month, in Auroraville, after expenses, I can’t afford a house even if I work my whole life.”

Justin’s words were realistic and made Fiona unable to accept them because that was also her reality. “Yes, Justin, normal people like us can never afford a house or settle down,” Fiona had a fighting spirit. “But I’ve found a way to make money. Soon, I’ll become wealthy, buy a big house, drive a luxury car. A friend introduced me to an investment project, I can earn millions in half a year. Justin, I can introduce you, let’s invest together.”

“You mean the beauty product project?” Justin said. “Meredith mentioned it to me. Fiona, I’m here today to advise you to retrieve your invested money as soon as possible. Those people must have problems, don’t let them deceive you.”

“Kate wouldn’t deceive me, last time I invested tens of thousands and made over a hundred thousand,” Fiona said somewhat fanatically. “I invested all of it, a total of one million. In half a year, I can earn five million.”

Justin was astonished, “How did you get so much money? Did you cheat it from Terrence Sterling? Fiona, how did you turn into this!”

“It’s not cheating, it’s his compensation to me,” Fiona said confidently. “He thought it was me that night, I didn’t do anything. I followed him for so long, he should give me some compensation, in fact I only got around five hundred thousand from him. I borrowed tens of thousands more by myself to make up the one million investment.”

“You’re too daring,” Justin urgently advised. “Fiona, you must retrieve your investment money, otherwise you’ll regret it. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If it’s this profitable, why would anyone pass it on to you.”

“Why do you look down on me like Meredith? Can’t I have a chance to get rich? I don’t want to work for the rest of my life like you, when will I have a chance to stand out?” Fiona’s emotions were intense. “You all have such good university degrees, but look at you now. I don’t even have a diploma, not as pretty as Meredith. I thought I finally climbed up to Terrence Sterling, but he kicked me out. Now that I have my own business, you all come to obstruct me. You just can’t stand to see me doing well.”

“Fiona, we’re only looking out for your best interests…” Before the sentence could be finished, Fiona’s phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID, it was the girl who invested with her. Fiona quickly answered the call, “Amy, what’s wrong…”

The voice on the other end was a girl in a panic, “Fiona, the company has vanished, Kate and the others are missing, we can’t reach them. Did we get scammed…”
