I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

When Meredith went to entertain, Joy Chaucer had specifically assigned a colleague named Davina to accompany her. Davina, a newcomer, followed reluctantly under Joy's intimidating influence, keeping an eye on Meredith and ready to report her every move to Joy.

At seven in the evening, Meredith, with Davina in tow, pushed open the door to the Harmony Hall private room.

Immediately, her eyes met the greasy, sparsely-haired Kendrick Gould. Kendrick, a vice president at Oakleaf, was nearing forty with a receding hairline, a large belly, and known for his lascivious behavior. His wife at home had no control over his frequent indulgences;twenty-eight days of the month spent in debauchery.

Kendrick had brought his secretary, and the room was filled with project managers from various companies, there to sign contracts and discuss collaborations.

As Meredith entered, all eyes turned towards her. Her striking appearance highlighted by the soft lighting enhanced her complexion.

That morning, Terrence Sterling had teased her, attributing her glowing appearance to his 'nurturing'.

Meredith's attractiveness naturally drew the men's attention.

"Mr. Gould, hello, I'm Meredith from the planning department at Falconer Holdings," she introduced herself with a smile. "This is Davina."

Davina nervously greeted, "Mr. Gould, hello."

Meredith, exuding a compelling presence, immediately caught Kendrick's full attention. His eyes widened as he smiled and urged, "Meredith? From Falconer Holdings? I didn't expect such a beauty. Come, sit here next to me." As he spoke, a waitress quickly added a chair next to Kendrick.

Meredith sat down without hesitation, "Thank you, Mr. Gould, and sorry I'm late."

Kendrick, greasily, excused her, "A beauty has the privilege to be late, no worries at all, right everyone?" The allure of beauty often afforded extra leniency.

Everyone agreed, mentioning how traffic jams were common, especially during peak hours.

The conversation shifted away from business to enjoying the evening as per the usual protocol. Good food and company often sealed deals more effectively than stiff negotiations.

Before the meeting, each company had already conducted background checks on the potential partners.

Kendrick's gaze barely left Meredith, his lecherous intentions hardly concealed.

Meredith's stunning entry also put pressure on the other company representatives. They knew Kendrick's reputation well, and with Falconer Holdings sending such a beauty, they wondered about their own roles in the proceedings. Kendrick poured wine for Meredith, "Come, Miss Meredith, it's an honor to drink with such a beautiful woman."

Though not a heavy drinker, Meredith had improved her tolerance over the past few months.

She lifted her glass with a smile, "Mr. Gould, the honor is mine."

As Kendrick laughed and reached under the table towards Meredith's leg, she subtly moved away, then stood up to toast him.

Kendrick, frustrated at not succeeding, still smiled, "Miss Meredith is truly bold."

After downing the drink, Meredith sat and gestured with her arm to toast Kendrick again.

As she lifted her arm, the smell from her armpits spread, but Kendrick, close enough to be affected, showed no reaction due to a cold that had dulled his sense of smell. "Miss Meredith, you are very thoughtful," he smirked, seeing her proactive approach as a positive sign.

Surprised by his lack of reaction, Meredith wondered if the perfume had failed.

Feeling uncomfortable under Kendrick's sleazy gaze but forced to continue, she managed to subtly avoid his further advances.

As the evening progressed, Meredith excused herself to make a phone call and stepped out into the corridor for fresh air.

Davina followed, offering her a cup of water, "Meredith, you've had quite a bit to drink, have some water to ease it."

At the dinner table, Meredith had been cautious, ensuring her drink was always poured from the same bottle as the others. "Thank you," she said, accepting the water, unaware of the fleeting strange glint in Davina's eyes.
