I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

There were rumors that Stella didn't like Meredith, and these rumors were spread by Joy Chaucer.

The Sterling family held the hundred-day banquet with great grandeur, showing how much they valued their little granddaughter. Valuing the child naturally meant the child's mother would also benefit.

Meredith and Terrence Sterling, freshly groomed, arrived at the banquet. As soon as they arrived, Harvey Fieldmouse teased them, "Heard you two had a private night last night? Boss, you've been holding back for almost a year, couldn't hold it anymore, huh?"

Meredith, feeling shy, found an excuse, "I'll go check on Little Lucky."

As soon as Meredith left, Harvey Fieldmouse laughed, "Boss, looks like I guessed right!"

"If you can't speak properly, just shut up," Terrence Sterling said with a look of disdain. Harvey Fieldmouse really had no sense of tact.

"Terrence Sterling."

Azure appeared from behind Terrence Sterling, "Sorry I'm late."

Before Terrence Sterling could respond, Harvey Fieldmouse said, "Azure, my boss just got here too, you're not late."

Terrence Sterling glanced at Harvey Fieldmouse and said to Azure, "If you know any girls, introduce them to Harvey Fieldmouse so he won't be so idle."

Azure understood and smiled, "I have plenty of resources. My studio is full of beautiful women who would love to marry into the Fieldmouse family, but I'm afraid Harvey Fieldmouse might not be interested." Harvey Fieldmouse quickly responded, "No way, introduce them to me. I'm very easygoing."

He put on a welcoming demeanor.

Terrence Sterling said, "I should have set you up with Joy Chaucer back then. You wouldn't have time to show off now."

"Joy Chaucer is crazy. Even if you gave her to me, I wouldn't want her," Harvey Fieldmouse shivered at the thought of marrying Joy Chaucer. It would be like raising a venomous snake by his side.

"You guys chat. I'll go find Meredith and check on the baby," Azure said. She didn't say much more to the two men. Her past grievances with Terrence Sterling had dissipated after seeing his love for Meredith. Azure had left the capital for several years. She knew deep down that besides feeling inferior, she was also aware that she and Terrence Sterling were from two different worlds.

If she had truly been brave, she would have returned before Terrence Sterling met Meredith.

What she couldn't let go of before was that Stella owed her an apology.

Stella still didn't like Azure. Her preconceived notions made her dislike Azure at first sight.

Reese had also been invited by Meredith to the hundred-day banquet today.

This was Reese's first time attending a high-society gathering. She nervously wore a dress and arrived with trepidation.

Reese was average-looking and an older single woman without a boyfriend.

After following Meredith, her income increased, but her quality of life did not improve. Instead, it only fed her family's appetite.

Before coming to the banquet, Reese received a call from her parents asking her to send more money for her brother's business venture.

Her brother's previous business had failed again. She had lost count of how many times he had failed. All the money he lost was Reese's savings, and all his debts were paid by Reese.

So no matter how many times he failed, Reese's brother felt no pain and never reflected on his actions. It wasn't his money; why would he feel pain?

If the knife doesn't cut into your own flesh, it doesn't hurt.

Meredith was chatting with Azure.

Seeing Reese arrive, Meredith complimented her, "You look beautiful today. This dress suits you well."

With some grooming and dressing up, Reese looked quite good.

A woman's beauty is seventy percent appearance and thirty percent grooming.

Reese felt a bit embarrassed and placed her hands on her lower abdomen, "I've gained some weight recently. Look at my belly; it's almost bursting out of the dress. You and Miss Thornfield have such great figures; it's really enviable." A woman's lack of confidence often stems from her body image.

Azure said, "Reese, your image is actually quite good. If you're interested, you can come to the dance studio to learn and improve your posture. It will make your figure better and transform your entire presence."

"Do dancers really have good posture?" Reese asked. "How much is a class, Miss Thornfield? You're so famous; is the tuition very expensive?"

"I'll give you a friendly discount-thirty percent off for an annual package at twenty thousand dollars," Azure said. "No limit on class hours; you can come whenever you're free."

This wasn't just thirty percent off; it was practically free.
