I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Harvey Fieldmouse exploded on the spot.

“Ah!” Harvey Fieldmouse exclaimed in surprise, “Terry, Miss Florrick bought your clothes? Wow, what a big news. You said you weren’t interested in Miss Florrick, but now you have to admit it.”

Terrence Sterling frowned, “Do you want me to kick you out?”

“Terry,” Harvey Fieldmouse, thick-skinned, leaned in, “How much did you pay for these clothes? Why did Miss Florrick buy them for you? Are you two having a secret affair? Boss and secretary, is that it? It must be, I went to Miss Florrick’s house today, she lives alone, single, with no fiance at all. You’re lying, are you afraid I’ll pursue Miss Florrick?”

“Ignorant,” Terrence Sterling refused to answer directly.

Harvey Fieldmouse kept on babbling, causing a headache.

“Terry, you never admit anything,” Harvey Fieldmouse gossiped, “I promise not to tell anyone, let me have a scoop, they will envy me.”

He was the first to know that Terry was in love, enough to boast for a lifetime.

With Harvey Fieldmouse’s personality, if he didn’t get an answer, he could keep chattering and meddling.

Terrence Sterling pondered for a moment and said, “Miss Florrick… is indeed nice.”

“Yes,” Harvey Fieldmouse jumped up excitedly, “Terry, I knew you liked Miss Florrick. Today, I tested Miss Florrick for you, I guess she probably likes you too, just hesitating because of the woman living in Thornfield Gardens. Fiona is still useful.” Terrence Sterling’s voice was slightly serious, “Just stay away from Miss Florrick.”

Harvey Fieldmouse smiled, “Terry, since she’s the woman you’re interested in, I won’t interfere. I was just joking with you this morning, who told you not to admit it.”

Terrence Sterling’s eyes flashed.

Harvey Fieldmouse knew better, “I’m leaving, I’m leaving.”

As long as Harvey Fieldmouse knew that Terrence Sterling was really interested in Meredith, his purpose was achieved. He was going to boast.

Harvey Fieldmouse was a person who couldn’t keep a secret. As soon as he left the company, he started making plans with friends, “Sensational news, Terry is in love, not with the woman from Thornfield Gardens, but this new person. Want to know who? I won’t tell you, you’ll be eager to know. I’m not bragging, Terry admitted it himself…”

After Harvey Fieldmouse left, Terrence Sterling stared at the office phone, thinking of calling Meredith. But he remembered she was on vacation and didn’t want to disturb her for no reason, so he gave up.

Terrence Sterling endured for two days, not contacting Meredith. Meanwhile, on Meredith’s end, during her vacation, she hadn’t received any messages from the company and felt a bit uneasy.

She asked Linda privately if there was really nothing they needed her for.

Linda told her to rest assured.

Two days later.

That day, Meredith went to the office early. She had to work hard as she was going to have a baby and couldn’t afford to be unemployed.

If her absence had no impact on the company and work could still go on, that would be a crisis.

In other words, the company could replace her at any time. She was dispensable to the company.

Of course, Meredith didn’t know that during the two days she was absent, Terrence Sterling had instructed his Secretary Office not to disturb her with work matters. Her colleagues from the Secretary Office not only had to do their own work but also had to do Meredith’s work.

Meredith went as usual to Terrence Sterling’s office to organize his bookshelf and make coffee for him, the tasks now falling on her.

At 8:50 am, Terrence Sterling walked in and saw Meredith in the office, a surge of indescribable joy welling up in his heart.

This joy was simply because she had returned.

“Mr. Sterling, your coffee,” Meredith respectfully placed the coffee on the table.

Terrence Sterling composed himself and calmly asked, “Miss Florrick, why did you buy clothes for Harvey Fieldmouse?”

This question had been weighing on his mind for two days.

Meredith was briefly taken aback before honestly answering, “I accidentally dirtied Mr. Fieldmouse’s clothes, so I bought him new ones.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

This reason made Terrence Sterling feel even better.

“How much did his clothes cost?”

“$69,” Meredith said a little embarrassedly. “He said he liked it, and I suggested he change to a different store, but he refused. I thought $69 was too cheap and not very good…”

“It suits him perfectly.” Terrence Sterling sipped his coffee and casually remarked, “He is meant to wear something worth $69.”

The clothes Meredith bought for Harvey Fieldmouse were only $69, while the ones she bought for Terrence Sterling were $150, more than twice as expensive as Harvey Fieldmouse’s.

As long as his were more expensive than Harvey Fieldmouse’s, Terrence Sterling was happy.
