I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Ruby Kim was frantic, hiding in the men's restroom without anyone noticing her. She was safe for the moment but too afraid to step out. Ruby tried calling and messaging, but to no avail; there was no signal at all. She held her phone high, searching for any sign of connectivity.

Suddenly, footsteps approached rapidly. Many footsteps. The next second, the stall Ruby was hiding in was kicked open, and a security guard dragged her out. Minutes later, she was thrown in front of Joy Chaucer. Joy Chaucer sat on a luxurious leather sofa looking down from above, while Ruby lay on the floor like discarded trash. "Ruby Kim, you've been quite hard to find," Joy sneered. "Following me? I thought you had fled the capital, but here you are."

Ruby sat up, glaring at Joy with resentful eyes. "How could I leave when you're still here? I must avenge my parents. You went after Meredith, and the Sterling family will not let this go." "You seem to know quite a bit," Joy said, unfazed, now that she had Ruby in her grasp.

Ruby scoffed, "I know I won't walk out of here alive, Joy Chaucer. Heaven sees what you do, you impostor. The day the true daughter of the Chaucer family returns will be the day you fall." Joy's expression changed drastically. "You know even this?" she exclaimed, glancing at the man beside her.

The man, Ethan Channing, remained silent, merely smirking, his arm adorned with a red rose tattoo that seemed out of place on him. Ethan was not only the hidden owner of the club but also a man of power in both legal and illegal circles. you wish to keep secrets, you should not act at all," Ruby taunted.

"If

Joy slapped Ruby fiercely across the face. "As long as you can never speak again, no one will know." The slap reddened Ruby's face and blood trickled from her mouth. She licked her lips defiantly and spat at Joy, her eyes full of hatred.

Enraged, Joy slapped Ruby several more times. "You wanted to avenge your parents? I'll send you to hell to join them and let your family reunite. Don't thank me too much-I should have sent your father on his way years ago to spare him the pain. Rest assured, I'll make it quick."

"You will not die a good death," Ruby hissed, her hatred intensified by Joy's words. Her hands and feet were bound, but she tried to fight back.

"You won't see tomorrow's sun anyway," Joy looked down at her coldly and dismissively. "Whether I die a good death is not for you to see. You brought this upon yourself, and I will fulfill your wish."

Joy had been searching for Ruby for a long time, eager to end her life. Now, she would not miss this chance.

With that, Ethan spoke up, "Take her away and handle it."

Ruby wasn't afraid of dying; she had been ready to give up her life, but her hatred was strong. She hadn't seen Joy fall yet, nor had she avenged her parents.

As the guards approached to take her away, Ruby suddenly burst with strength, breaking free from her restraints and lunging at Joy. Though her hands and feet were still bound, she fiercely bit Joy's ear, almost tearing it off. Her hatred was as fierce as her bite. Joy screamed in agony, and Ethan quickly commanded the guards, "Separate them, now!" Ruby clung stubbornly to Joy's ear, refusing to let go despite the guards' efforts. Finally, a piece of Joy's earlobe was torn off.

Ethan kicked Ruby in the stomach, forcing her to release her grip. Joy clutched her bleeding ear and screamed, "Kill her! Kill her now!" Ruby spat out the piece of flesh from her mouth, her eyes burning with relentless hatred. "Even as a ghost, I will never let you go."
