I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

After Terrence walked out of the room, he felt a rush of anger and a metallic taste in his throat. He coughed violently, his entire body trembling. The nanny heard the noise and came to check on him. “Sir, are you sick?” she asked.

“It’s nothing,” Terrence waved her off, signaling her to rest and not to worry about him. He suppressed the metallic taste in his throat and, feeling exhausted, returned to his daughter’s bedroom. He lay quietly beside Little Lucky, watching her sleep peacefully. The sight of his daughter seemed to heal half of the pain in his heart.

Terrence kissed his daughter’s cheek and whispered, “Rowan, did Daddy really make a mistake?” Little Lucky slept soundly and couldn’t answer him.

Inside the house, after arguing fiercely with Terrence, Audrey felt numb all over. She slowly sat on the edge of the bed when her phone rang; it was the person she had spoken to earlier. Audrey answered indifferently, “He heard it just now. Well done…”

By hurting Terrence bit by bit like this, she hoped he would gradually grow to hate her and stop obsessing over “Meredith.” All of this was intentional on Audrey’s part-deliberately letting Azure see her go to a hotel with someone else and making sure Terrence overheard the conversation. She had staged the scene after hearing Terrence’s car return.

After wearing down Terrence’s patience, she felt she would have fulfilled her duty to that person. The next day, neither spoke when they met. Audrey deliberately ignored Terrence, while he tried several times to talk to her but received no response.

Terrence had never bowed his head to anyone before. But she was his wife; what harm was there in a man bowing his head? Terrence tolerated everything in front of Audrey, appearing somewhat humble. This humility pricked Audrey’s heart like a needle, but she had no choice.

After their argument, Audrey spent money extravagantly, using Terrence’s card without hesitation. She bought many men’s items, making it both obvious and concealed at the same time.

Azure had Gordon keep an eye on her. Gordon discovered that Audrey went to a hotel again and booked an hourly room. He immediately reported this to Azure.

While performing out of town, Azure saw the message and replied to Gordon: “Keep an eye on it and find out who Meredith is meeting.”

Gordon replied: “Don’t worry, I’m on it.”

Gordon stayed at the hotel entrance for about an hour before seeing Audrey leave alone. Shortly after Audrey left, a man in his thirties also came out, dressed in casual pants and a gray T-shirt, looking clean and fresh.

Gordon’s instincts told him this was the man. They were cautious enough to leave separately rather than together. The man looked decent but was far inferior compared to Terrence.

Gordon quickly took photos of the man and his car’s license plate number, planning to investigate further. To avoid being discovered, Gordon didn’t follow them any longer but took what he had back for investigation.

At a certain club.

Harvey was socializing. Since realizing his feelings and wanting to make a good impression on Selene, he had been working diligently. Today he was discussing business with a client and felt excited about picking up Selene from prison early the next morning. In high spirits while signing contracts, he generously gave the other party an extra point, sealing the deal.

The client’s CEO laughed and said, “Mr. Fieldmouse, you’re straightforward; I like your directness.”

Harvey replied with a smile: “Making money together ensures long-term business; I don’t want just a one-time deal with you.”

“Absolutely,” Mr. Fielding agreed heartily and put an arm around Harvey’s shoulder. “Mr. Fieldmouse, since we’re having such a good time today, how about calling in some company?”

“Mr. Fielding can enjoy himself; I’ll pass,” Harvey said candidly. “I have a girlfriend keeping me in line.”

Saying this made Harvey suddenly understand why Terrence used Meredith as an excuse before-it wasn’t an excuse but rather a source of pride and certainly not fear of his wife.

Mr. Fielding laughed: “Mr. Fieldmouse has changed again? Your exes could form a mahjong table by now! When did you ever fear your girlfriends? Don’t you have any authority?”

Harvey said: “Mr. Fielding, don’t tease me; we’re all men here and know how these things go. I used to be quite wild myself but never even touched anyone’s finger before. This time it’s different; she’s the woman I’ll spend my life with.”
