I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith’s phone was switched off. On her way back, she felt hesitant and worried that the company might contact her again, so she decided to switch off her phone for some peace and quiet.

Watching Fiona bring in bags of supplements, Meredith was slightly surprised. Even though they had reconciled after their recent falling out, things didn’t feel the same as before.

Now, with Fiona taking the initiative to bring over the supplements, it brought a slight sense of comfort to Meredith, who had just lost her job.

Suddenly, Meredith hugged Fiona. “Fiona.”

“Meredith, what’s wrong?” Fiona asked. “Has something happened?”

“Nothing, I just wanted to hug you,” Meredith replied. She didn’t mention what had happened at the company. She used to share everything with Fiona, but for some reason, she couldn’t bring herself to talk about it now.

“Meredith,” Fiona said, “Why don’t you try these supplements? Remember to take them on time, and also this health product…”

Fiona opened a box and took out a bottle of health product. “You can’t easily find this; I had it bought from overseas through a contact. It’s expensive, but it’s good for the baby. It improves the baby’s skin and makes their eyes bigger when they are born.”

As Fiona introduced each supplement, the word “expensive” was always emphasized.

Meredith listened with a faint smile on her face, listening without interrupting Fiona’s words.

Fiona asked, “Meredith, have you remembered everything, or should I write a note for you to remind you to take them on time and in the right amount?”

“I’ve remembered,” Meredith stood up. “Do you want to have dinner here tonight? I can go buy some groceries; it’s still early anyway.”

“No need, I’ll just sit for a while before I leave,” Fiona replied. “I have plans to go shopping with another friend today. She’s actually from the Royce Family, who are renowned for selling air conditioners…”

Taking advantage of her residence in Thornfield Gardens, Fiona had gotten to know some socialites and heiresses from high society.

Meredith didn’t say much more. She had lost her job and wanted to have a nice meal with Fiona to ease her mind. Whenever she felt down, Fiona was always there to comfort her.

They supported each other to get through each day.

Fiona hesitated and finally asked, “Meredith, I’ve been wanting to ask you, who is the father of the baby?”

She already had a guess in her heart, and she deliberately asked.

In the past, Meredith would have told Fiona immediately. But now, things were different. She didn’t know how to bring it up, so she stayed silent.

Meredith’s answer was silence.

Fiona pressed on, “Will you tell the baby’s father about the baby? Do you plan on letting that man know about the baby’s existence?”

Meredith shook her head. “I don’t have that plan for now.”

Hearing this, Fiona felt relieved. She was worried that if Meredith told Terrence Sterling, she would be in trouble.

“Meredith, if you decide to be a single mother, then don’t tell that man anymore. Otherwise, you’ll go through all the hardship of giving birth, only to have your baby taken away from you in the end. What will you do then?” Fiona cautioned. “There are too many news stories about mothers losing custody these days, and some men are even afraid of being extorted by the women and refuse to acknowledge the child.”

Meredith looked at Fiona and calmly asked, “How do you know they will take the baby away? I am the baby’s mother; they can’t just take the baby away.”

Fearing that Meredith might become suspicious, Fiona quickly replied, “I’m just speculating based on what I’ve seen in news articles. By the way, Meredith, please take this first.”

Fiona took out all the supplements, including various types to supplement vitamins, folic acid, and calcium for pregnant women.

Fiona handed two calcium pills to Meredith, saying, “This is to supplement calcium. Pregnant women can face serious issues with calcium deficiency. This one is good, and it’s expensive.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Meredith heard the word “expensive” most often from Fiona. She didn’t want to take them, but didn’t want to waste Fiona’s kindness either, so she took them.

Watching Meredith take the pills, Fiona felt relieved, but deep down, a hint of guilt and malice flashed in her eyes.

Because those were not supplements for maintaining pregnancy; they were actually abortion pills.
