I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith was a bit confused about Terrence Sterling’s early morning inquiry about buying clothes. Why would he ask her that first thing in the morning?

Shifting the topic, Meredith politely asked, “Mr. Sterling, how’s your injury?”

“It’s recovering well…” Terrence Sterling felt the phrasing was not right and added, “My arm is still a bit stiff.”

“In that case, avoid getting it wet and don’t strain your arm,” Meredith advised. “Mr. Sterling, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to the Secretary Office…”

“Take a look at this contract,” Terrence Sterling handed a contract to Meredith. “Check if there are any issues, there’s also a stack of plans regarding the Kestrel Project for you to sift through, and there’s a meeting this afternoon, prepare the materials for it…”

Just when things seemed calm, they escalated quickly.

Meredith had a sense of returning to the usual routine. It turned out, she was meant for busy days as she couldn’t adapt to vacation.

“Yes, Mr. Sterling, I’ll get to it right away,” Meredith had adjusted within two days at home.

Whatever had happened at Meriton, be it the accident or the kiss that night, she couldn’t dwell on them. The real deal was working hard to earn money.

Meredith busied herself, checking contracts, preparing meeting materials, and handling project plans…

Terrence Sterling was also busy, and the two of them were as they used to be. Terrence Sterling glanced at Meredith out of the corner of his eye, his gaze instinctively falling on her lips.

Today, her lipstick color was taupe, with light makeup, hair still casually pinned up with a hairpin, displaying a blend of sophistication and a hint of feminine allure and gentleness.

Meredith sported a black pencil skirt today, with a light blue blouse, revealing a pair of fair and slender legs. Her legs were truly captivating, making it hard for him to look away, she seemed conservative in her attire but exuded a strong appeal that left him dry-mouthed.

Terrence Sterling had encountered countless beauties, yet only Meredith could arouse his primal desires.

“Mr. Sterling, there’s an issue in this contract, here…” Meredith stood up, walked over to Terrence Sterling, pointing out the problem in the contract.

Terrence Sterling cleared his throat, “Let me see, where.”

Unknowingly, Terrence Sterling felt a bit guilty.

“Here.” Meredith pointed out the problematic area with her finger, bringing them closer together.

A hint of mint lingered in the air, if not for his strong self-control, Terrence Sterling almost lost his composure.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“Alright, I see it.” Terrence Sterling’s eyes were cool, and he suddenly said, “Miss Florrick, you can go out and attend to your other tasks.”

Meredith’s presence here was unsettling for him, Meredith wasn’t suited for wearing skirts, did she not realize how enticing she looked in them?

“Of course, Mr. Sterling.”

Meredith had no idea what was going on in Terrence Sterling’s mind; as she was about to leave, her colleague Sasha from the Secretary Office entered.

“Mr. Sterling, the arrangements for tonight’s dinner have been sorted, it’s set at the Grandmere Hotel.”

Upon hearing about the departmental dinner at Grandmere, Meredith, who was about to leave, halted her steps.

Meredith instinctively asked, “Sasha, which department’s dinner are you referring to?”

“The Secretary Office,” Sasha replied. “Meredith, we have these dinners quarterly, Mr. Sterling foots the bill, it’s at 7 pm tonight, Meredith, don’t work too late today, don’t miss out on this opportunity, Mr. Sterling has also arranged for a raffle, with a grand prize of five thousand dollars in cash.”

Initially hesitant to attend, Meredith’s plans changed upon hearing about the raffle. She had to seize the opportunity to score some winnings.

Terrence Sterling allowed banter among the staff and didn’t mind. He added, “This time, the prize is ten thousand dollars.”

“Really, Mr. Sterling?” Sasha was surprised.

Meredith was equally astonished and delighted; the Secretary Office consisted of ten people, giving her a one in ten chance of winning the ten thousand dollar grand prize.

Terrence Sterling’s thin lips lifted slightly, “Indeed.”

“Mr. Sterling, you’re really generous, I’ve never seen a more generous boss than you.” Sasha began to flatter, then turned to Meredith and said, “Meredith, you’re familiar with Grandmere Hotel, right? I won’t send you the address, I’ve heard you’ve been there before, you’d be able to find it, right.”

This statement made Meredith’s heart skip a beat, she subconsciously looked at Terrence Sterling’s reaction.

Terrence Sterling’s cold gaze narrowed, “Miss Florrick, you’ve been to Grandmere Hotel?”
