I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

The room was too narrow, and Terrence Sterling’s deep eyes were fixed on her, waiting for her answer. Meredith sat on the edge of the bed, the house was small, and Terrence Sterling sat on the sofa, leaving her with no choice but to sit on the edge of the bed. She dared not make eye contact with Terrence Sterling, the atmosphere in the room was strange, and her heart was in turmoil. Terrence Sterling’s intentions were clear; he wanted her. It was an ambiguous and roguish declaration, yet not off-putting. If one lacked willpower, who could resist a confession from a billionaire CEO like Terrence Sterling?

“No, it’s not possible,” Meredith took a deep breath, steadying her mind. “Mr. Sterling, you and I are from different worlds. Since there’s no future for us, it’s pointless to start anything. You can afford to play around, but I cannot. I just want to live an ordinary, normal life.”

In Meredith’s eyes, Terrence Sterling was merely using the facade of a girlfriend for amusement. Even if she stayed single her whole life, she couldn’t be with a man who had been involved with Fiona. That was a matter of morals.

“You haven’t tried, so how can you say there’s no outcome?” Terrence Sterling stood up, leaning towards Meredith, his gaze intense. Meredith tightened her fists. “Mr. Sterling, we are not children. I have enough self-awareness. You have plenty of women suited to your status around you, so why choose me?”

“Why?” Terrence Sterling’s gaze was complex. “I also want to know the answer, that’s why I came to find you.”

Terrence Sterling himself didn’t have an answer as to why he chose Meredith. As she said, he was surrounded by beautiful women, eligible heiresses of high status. If he wanted to, he wouldn’t be lacking in female company. But those women didn’t pique his interest at all; only Meredith made him feel… alive, making him feel an urge to possess her.

“Terrence Sterling…”

“Meredith, give me a chance,” his voice was deep, with a hint of seduction.

Before Meredith could respond, her lips suddenly felt a soft touch, and he kissed her again. This kiss was dominant; as he pressed closer, Meredith lost her balance and fell back onto the bed.

Terrence Sterling’s kiss grew deeper, and Meredith could feel his passion. If left unchecked, this guy would definitely proceed further. Meredith’s body heated up; her face flushed, heartbeat quickened. His masculine scent wrapped around her, and her brain went blank, with only a sliver of reason telling her to stop. But her body, it was more honest.

Her lips were like poppies, addictive.

Terrence Sterling’s abdomen tightened, his hormones skyrocketing. Apart from that night, it was the first time he felt such a strong desire for a woman.

Terrence Sterling’s hand slipped under Meredith’s clothes, unclasping her bra…

Suddenly, with a loud ‘bang,’ the bed frame broke, and both fell down, with him completely on top of her, knocking her teeth together, causing her to inhale sharply.

Her butt also hurt.

But it was the pain that made Meredith completely sober.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Realizing what almost happened, she couldn’t believe that she almost slept with Terrence Sterling again.

“Are you alright?” Terrence Sterling suddenly became nervous, getting up from her and helping her to her feet.

Both looked at the broken bed frame and fell into silence for a moment. The ambiguous tension didn’t dissipate due to the sounds of the downstairs tenant, making the atmosphere even more suggestive.

“Can you keep it down? Young people these days are full of energy.”

The downstairs tenant shouted from the balcony to the people upstairs. With such a commotion, in a house with poor soundproofing, everything was crystal clear downstairs.

Meredith’s cheeks grew even hotter, mortified.

Terrence Sterling, however, remained unperturbed, looking at the broken bed frame and saying, “We’ll have to get a sturdier bed in the future. It seems we also need to improve the soundproofing; disturbing others is not very good.”

Meredith looked at him in astonishment, “…”

What did he mean by ‘in the future’?

Had Terrence Sterling misunderstood something?

It seemed… it wasn’t entirely Terrence Sterling’s fault. He was just too charming, and she almost lost control earlier. It was fortunate the bed frame broke.

Meredith regained her composure and said, “Mr. Sterling, I think there’s a misunderstanding. What happened just now was…”

He looked at her, his tone light, “Your body is more honest than your words.”

Meredith: “…”

Before Meredith could say anything, Terrence Sterling knelt down in front of the broken bed frame, rolled up his sleeves, and began to fix the bed.
