I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith hesitated to take medicine: “It’s okay, I just need some fresh air, no need for medicine, I’m allergic to motion sickness pills.”

Meredith was quite impressed with herself, she was really good at lying.

“In that case, you go find a seat inside and sit for a while, I’ll go outside for a smoke,” Terrence Sterling said as he walked towards the smoking area.

Meredith stood in place, watching Terrence Sterling light a cigarette in the smoking area, his back exuding an indescribable sense of desolation.

Meredith could tell, he had something on his mind.

Terrence Sterling always held a high position, he couldn’t show his emotions like others.

Thinking of Terrence Sterling’s considerate words earlier, Meredith felt a slight warmth in her heart.

Although Terrence Sterling spoke harshly and always had a stern face, like he was owed billions, he never mistreated his subordinates.

Even though they were mistaken for a couple, Meredith didn’t dare entertain such thoughts.

Meredith did not go inside to sit down, she just stood outside to get some air, feeling much clearer.

After finishing his cigarette, Terrence Sterling walked towards Meredith and asked, “Do you want to eat something before we leave?”

Having just vomited, Meredith did feel a bit hungry.

“Sure.”

The two went inside the service area to eat, choosing proper dishes instead of fast food.

Terrence Sterling couldn’t stand fast food.

The items in the service area were expensive and not tasty, the restaurant had hardly any customers, having an expensive meal here was something most families couldn’t afford or felt was unnecessary.

The restaurant served the dishes quickly.

Meredith quietly ate with Terrence Sterling, curiously asking, “Mr. Sterling, what’s on your mind? You seem troubled.”

She was just asking, not really expecting Terrence Sterling to answer.

To her surprise, Terrence Sterling said: “Uncle Mason embezzled nearly ten million from the company in the past year, my father pleaded with me to give Uncle Mason a chance, these people put too much importance on family, when trouble arises, family becomes a moral blackmailing rope.”

“I am an orphan, I do not understand what family means, Mr. Sterling, you just need to believe in your own actions, don’t worry about what others say,” Meredith said. “Many people hesitate and end up with endless regrets, not getting anything done properly.”

Upon hearing this, Terrence Sterling looked at Meredith in a new light.

Meredith’s thoughts resonated with him.

Terrence Sterling’s secret visit to Meriton was to let Mason Sterling let his guard down, making it easier to find evidence.

Meredith didn’t know the specifics, she just knew that when doing anything, one shouldn’t hesitate, if afraid of regrets, then just do it, regardless of the outcome, so there are no regrets.

Meredith had no hesitation leaving the baby behind, because she did not want any regrets.

Terrence Sterling suddenly said, “That’s good.”

Meredith didn’t understand, what was “good” supposed to mean?

Suddenly, Meredith felt someone tugging at her clothes, she turned her head and was almost overwhelmed by the cute little baby behind her.

Tugging at her clothes was a one-year-old baby, just learning to walk, chubby and cute, with big beautiful eyes, dressed in a pink dress, the epitome of a beautiful little fairy.

Meredith couldn’t help but exclaim, “Whose adorable little baby is this? Can I hold you?”

“Hold,” the baby’s voice was soft and tender, still not all teeth grown, at this stage the cutest and most adorable.

The baby mistook Meredith for his mother.

With such an adorable baby, even Terrence Sterling felt a soft spot in his heart and had the urge to hold the baby.

However, he was the boss and needed to maintain his authority in front of his subordinates.

In essence, it was just a facade.

Meredith held the baby, loving every moment, soft, fragrant, and plump, “Mr. Sterling, isn’t this child so adorable, too cute.”

Terrence Sterling agreed, “Quite cute, whose child is this?”

Terrence Sterling glanced around, a woman hurriedly ran over, “Anna, you scared mommy, how did you get here, I’m sorry for the disturbance,”

“Mama,” the baby reached out, wanting to be held by her mother.

Feeling suddenly empty, Meredith felt a bit reluctant, saying, “Your baby is so adorable.”

The woman proudly said, “Anna just disappeared in the blink of an eye, it really scared me out, and I am so sorry.”

Meredith smiled, “It’s okay.”

The woman walked away with the baby, Meredith felt a bit reluctant, her gaze following the woman’s figure until she disappeared from sight.

Terrence Sterling said, “Miss Florrick, you really like children.”

“Indeed,” Meredith casually answered, “Mr. Sterling, don’t you like them too? Those little babies are truly the cutest little beings.”
