I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

After Joy left, Meredith breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, she wasn’t recognized.

“Meredith.” Bianca flipped through the proposal and asked, “Do you have any other thoughts on this project? The board is not too keen on moving forward with it. How do you think we can convince them?”

Meredith didn’t expect Bianca to ask such a question, but quickly composed herself and said, “Chairwoman, I believe we don’t need to convince the board, let the facts speak for themselves, it will be more persuasive.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Bianca chuckled, with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She didn’t like the opinions of the board members. In her youth, she was decisive, and she still was now.

Compared to maneuvering with the board members, Bianca was someone who preferred to focus on the projects, letting the facts speak for themselves.

Bianca casually inquired, “Meredith, you’ve been with the company for a while now, are you still adjusting?”

Meredith flattered, “At Falconer Holdings, I feel like I’m back home.”

What does it mean to be at home?

Comfortable, a sense of belonging, not to mention, her heart naturally belongs there as well.

In other words, Meredith treats the company as her home, giving herself wholeheartedly.

Bianca asked, “I heard you worked at Sterling Corporation before?”

“Yes,” Meredith honestly replied, but didn’t elaborate further.

Bianca didn’t press further, saying, “You may leave now.”

“Yes, Chairwoman,” Meredith left.

Bianca watched Meredith’s departure and felt a strange sense of familiarity towards her.

Seeing Meredith, she felt like she saw her younger self.

She hadn’t interacted with Meredith much in the company, but she had a strange feeling that Meredith resembled her more than her own daughter, Joy.

It was a strange feeling, but Bianca didn’t dwell on it.

…

After finishing work, Meredith began calling friends who knew Fiona to track her down.

After making five or six calls, she finally got news of Fiona from a friend of a friend.

After work, Meredith took a taxi to a beauty salon and found Fiona getting a beauty treatment.

Since leaving Thornfield Gardens, Fiona had been living a decent life. She had foreseen her eviction and converted some money into luxury items before leaving, stashing some of it elsewhere.

After being evicted, Fiona sold some of the luxury items and used the money to indulge herself. She even learned about investments and partnered with someone to start a business, dreaming of becoming wealthy.

“Fiona.” Meredith looked down at Fiona, lying on the bed with a face mask on, enjoying a massage from a beautician.

Upon hearing the voice, Fiona opened her eyes, saw Meredith, and sat up, removing the face mask.

“Why are you here?” Fiona’s tone was unwelcoming.

She harbored resentment towards Meredith as she was reminded of Terrence Sterling kicking her out and Justin talking behind her back.

“You disappeared for months, I thought you vanished from the face of the earth.” Meredith sat down and asked the beautician, “Could you please step out for a moment? I need to talk to my friend.”

The beautician glanced at Fiona, and Fiona nodded in approval.

Once the beautician left, Meredith looked at Fiona and asked, “What’s this about, are you really planning to cut off all contact? You left Thornfield Gardens, didn’t even inform Justin or me, you even blocked Justin. Fiona, what have you done with the bond of over twenty years?”

Initially, Meredith was furious and wanted to cut ties, but afterwards, she wanted to find an opportunity to mend the relationship.

Meredith was a sentimental person and couldn’t hold a grudge based on Fiona’s words alone.

Upon hearing Meredith’s words, Fiona’s face turned cold, “What, you knew I was evicted and came here to mock me? Meredith, are you feeling especially proud that Terrence Sterling kicked me out?”

“He kicked you out?” Meredith was puzzled, “Why?”

“Isn’t it because of what you said to Terrence Sterling?” Fiona looked full of resentment, “Meredith, don’t pretend to be a saint in front of me. You want to compete with me for Terrence Sterling, yet still stringing along Justin. You want everything, you say you’re not fighting with me, but you’re fighting for everything. It’s like you especially fancy the men I’ve been with, you just want to prove that you’re more charming than me, right?”
