I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

The screams had been Davina's, unable to endure Joy Chaucer's torment. Joy, caught up in her rage and excitement, had been furiously berating Davina.

Davina's face was swollen, bloodied at the mouth, her hair a mess with clumps on the floor, roots bloody.

Seeing her daughter's monstrous behavior was a shock to Bianca. "Joy, why are you doing this? What got into you?"

Joy, coming to her senses somewhat at her mother's presence, replied defensively, "Mom, it's her fault! She spoke so out of turn, slandered me, and I had to discipline her."

Davina timidly spoke up, "Mrs. Chaucer, I'm Davina, I've been with Falconer for two months, working in the marketing team. I didn't slander Miss Chaucer; she made me do all this. Please, Miss Chaucer, spare me."

The fear in Davina's eyes spoke volumes. Bianca, hearing that Davina was an employee of her own company, was utterly bewildered, unsure of what had transpired.

At that moment, Terrence Sterling's voice came from behind, "Mrs. Chaucer, please come to the living room. We need to discuss tonight's events."

In the living room, with Joy Chaucer and Davina present, Terrence and Meredith sat on the sofa, facing a confused Bianca. Harvey Fieldmouse watched from the side.

Mrs. Wooten served tea as Bianca initiated, "Terry, what exactly is going on? Why is Joy here? What trouble has she caused?"

Despite her attempts to understand, Bianca was clueless about the situation.

Terrence glanced at the trembling Davina and the guilty-looking Joy, surprised by the extent of Joy's violence. He had thought Joy might slap Davina or scold her, not nearly beat her to disability. The bruises, blood at the mouth, swollen face, and blood-soaked scalp of Davina highlighted Joy's ruthlessness.

Before responding to Bianca, Terrence turned to Harvey Fieldmouse, "Copy the video from the guest room and show it to Mrs. Chaucer. Otherwise, it's hard to explain Davina's injuries."

The mention of a video shocked Joy. When was this recorded?

Harvey nodded, "Right away, boss."

Terrence had anticipated potential issues, hence the room was monitored. The entire ordeal of Joy beating Davina was captured, providing clear evidence of the assault.

Bianca was still trying to grasp the situation when Terrence finally explained, "Mrs. Chaucer, I apologize for calling you so late. Our families have been close for three generations, and I have always respected you. Family matters should stay private, hence we called you here. Joy Chaucer drugged my wife, attempting to ruin her reputation. As her husband, it's my duty to seek justice for her."
