I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith knew that his words of trying did not guarantee any results. The two of them were originally like parallel lines that never intersected, but somehow fate brought them together. When she saw the message from Rick Shepard, fear filled her mind as she worried about what might have happened to him.

It was like the car accident all over again. Some things, once missed, never come back around. How many people in her life would risk their lives to protect her like he did? If he hadn’t saved her back then, she might have died in that car accident. Even if they didn’t end up together, so what? At least she had experienced it and would have no regrets.

Thinking of Justin’s encouragement, Meredith followed her heart. Deep down, she had feelings for him long before, but she had always denied it. She answered Terrence Sterling’s unspoken question with action. She kissed him first, her kiss clumsy but filled with determination. This was her first time taking the lead, and it filled Terrence Sterling with joy. He embraced her, deepening the kiss.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

In their daze of emotions, Meredith noticed the blood on his arm and pushed him away. “Your wound has opened up,” she said urgently. “It’s fine,” Terrence Sterling replied nonchalantly, a hint of a smile on his face and a light tone in his voice. “If the wound gets infected, that’ll be troublesome,” Meredith checked his back and saw signs of the wound reopening.

Anger and helplessness filled her. “I’ll ask Mrs. Wooten for some gauze, we need to treat the wound again.” Meredith got up, but Terrence Sterling held her back, lightly stroking the back of her hand. “Meredith, just stay here with me. The doctor will take care of everything tomorrow. Right now, I just want to be with you, undisturbed.” The usually aloof Terrence Sterling showed a softer side in Meredith’s presence, speaking more and gentler.

He patted the bed, motioning for Meredith to lie down. Meredith hesitated before lying down beside him. She couldn’t believe she was here with Terrence Sterling. It felt like a dream Cinderella would have. She reached out to touch his forehead, his eyebrows, his nose. “It feels like I’m poking a tiger, it’s so strange. There’s a saying that anyone who climbs into your bed gets thrown out or banned.”

Previously, Terrence Sterling had appeared like a fierce tiger in Meredith’s eyes. “So you’re avoiding admitting that it was you that night?” Terrence Sterling chuckled, holding her hand in his, closing his eyes in peace. “Meredith, I’m just an ordinary person with desires, but that doesn’t mean I welcome just any woman. Even tigers can be picky eaters.” Meredith laughed, seeing his humorous side for the first time.

“Now you’re an injured tiger, so behave.” Opening his eyes, filled with desire, he said, “Meredith, you should be glad I’m injured now. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to walk tomorrow.” Meredith blushed, knowing his strength. Feeling embarrassed and shy, she turned away from him, but he pulled her close, his hand naturally resting on her chest.

Despite their previous intimate encounters, this was the first time they were being close under clear circumstances. He even touched her intimately, causing her to stiffen with excitement. His hot breath grazed her neck, “Meredith, men love this position the most.” Realizing his insinuation, Meredith blushed. “I never knew you were such a flirt, Terrence Sterling.” He chuckled, “I meant the wound hurts. Meredith, where did your mind go?”

She fell silent, caught off guard by his teasing. He chuckled at her reaction, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Meredith, I really am in pain.” “It serves you right,” Meredith replied with a sharp tongue but still being careful not to touch his wound. The two of them lay quietly in bed, watching the shadows of trees sway outside the window, feeling like it was all a dream.

One day, she would be lying in bed with Terrence Sterling again. Despite the differences in their backgrounds and the uncertainty of the future, she was willing to indulge in this madness with him, but she didn’t want to lose too much. “Terrence Sterling, I hope our relationship remains private,” she murmured.
