I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith raised her hand, “Then, pretend I never said anything. I wish you and Terrence Sterling a lifetime of happiness.”

For Meredith, these words were not meant to be sarcastic. She was just playing along with Fiona’s anger.

But to Fiona, it felt like Meredith was mocking her.

“I knew it, in your eyes, I’m not deserving,” Fiona’s eyes welled up, looking as if Meredith had treated her terribly, “Terrence Sterling likes you, so you’re happy, right? I’m not as pretty as you, so you think Terrence Sterling chose me over you, that’s why you’re saying this.”

Listening carefully, Meredith caught onto something, “So you’re afraid I’ll compete with you for Terrence Sterling, that’s why you didn’t tell me? Is that why you warned me not to like Terrence Sterling before? Fiona, if you had told me earlier that you’re Terrence Sterling’s girlfriend, I would’ve immediately left Sterling Corporation. You didn’t have to be so defensive.”

Recalling Fiona’s past actions, Meredith realized that Fiona had been wary of her all along.

While she was worried about Fiona being deceived, Fiona was wary of her.

Meredith found their friendship of over twenty years to be quite superficial.

Of course, Fiona was scared, scared that Meredith would interact with Terrence Sterling again.

Upon hearing Meredith’s words, Fiona was not polite either and said, “Then resign from Sterling Corporation, move out, Meredith. Rent a new house and never see Terrence Sterling again, for the sake of our sisterhood. Don’t compete with me. You said it yourself, there are plenty of men out there, so you won’t fight over one.”

Fiona feared that one day Terrence Sterling might come to Meredith’s house, then she would know about their relationship and that Meredith was with him that night.

Fiona wanted Meredith to move out permanently, cutting off all ties with Terrence Sterling completely.

Upon hearing this, Meredith was stunned for a few seconds, hoping she had misheard.

Self-mockingly, Meredith said, “I have nothing with Terrence Sterling, do you really have to be so defensive against me?”

“Do you dare to say that you have nothing?” Fiona questioned, “Why was Terrence Sterling so badly injured at Meriton, and you had nothing to do with it? Why did he move you by his side as his secretary? You’re young and beautiful, very likely to attract men. With a man as outstanding as Terrence Sterling, are you truly not tempted?”

Fiona’s first sentence made Meredith guilty because she did indeed have a night with Terrence Sterling.

But she didn’t know about Fiona’s relationship with Terrence Sterling beforehand.

They stared at each other like this, Fiona exuded a domineering air, looking like a genuine girlfriend, while Meredith, aside from feeling guilty, felt cold-hearted.

“Fine, I’ll move,” Meredith wanted to take this opportunity to start anew, “I’ve already resigned and won’t work at Sterling Corporation anymore. I’ll move out as soon as possible, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Then move today,” Fiona impatiently said, “I’ve found a house for you. Meredith, I hope you understand me. I like Terrence Sterling too much, I can’t lose him. You can find someone better.”

This statement sounded somewhat insincere. How many people out there could have better conditions than Terrence Sterling?

“Fiona Woods,” Meredith called out her full name, looking at her disappointedly, “Is it necessary for you to be in such a hurry?”

“Meredith, please,” Fiona put on a pitiful look, “I lack confidence. He brought you to Thornfield Gardens, promoted you, you’re too beautiful, I feel insecure. You know, the relationship between female secretaries and bosses is usually ambiguous…”

“Fine,” Meredith didn’t want to hear Fiona continue, interrupting her coldly, “I’ll move. Fiona, you can just blacklist me, consider we’ve never met. No more words, please leave.”

Meredith’s intention was clear, to cut off ties. She was really upset and what she said was out of anger. She also wanted to test Fiona with this kind of talk, how much of their sisterly relationship was left.

She thought Fiona would be reluctant to let go of their sisterly bond and would say something soft.

But Fiona didn’t care about their sisterly bond at all; she only cared about when Meredith would move out.

“Meredith, are you moving today?”

At that moment, Meredith’s expression was on the verge of exploding. At this point, where could she move to? Finding a house doesn’t happen so quickly.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

She was unemployed, and the rent here had not expired, so she wouldn’t get the deposit back.

Meredith was about to speak out of anger when Fiona took out a stack of money and handed it to Meredith, “I’ll pay the rent.”
