I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Selene's words had an invigorating effect on Harvey, who laughed and said, "You still have a bit of conscience. I'm a big man and won't hold grudges against a woman. Let's just forget about you not agreeing to be my bodyguard last time. You don't need to feel embarrassed; I'm just that kind-hearted, repaying wrongs with kindness."

Selene remained silent. She didn't feel guilty about it at all.

Selene closed her eyes. She was exhausted. Even though her wounds hurt, she could still fall asleep because she hadn't slept for two days and nights.

Seeing her asleep, Harvey thoughtfully turned off the lights. Moonlight streamed in through the window, casting a soft glow on her flawless face.

Harvey watched her, almost entranced, murmuring to himself, "Why does a girl have to be so strong?"

Girls are meant to be cherished, not hurt. Harvey was very protective of women. Although he had a reputation as a player, he never truly got involved with any of them.

Over the years, he hadn't met anyone who genuinely moved him. He helped girls out of kindness-sometimes by defusing awkward situations or saying a kind word. Over time, his reputation as a playboy spread.

In reality, he was just a fool with clear but naive eyes. Those women were merely using him for their own purposes-some for money, others for his connections. Harvey, concerned about his image, didn't want people to think he was a fool, so he adopted the persona of a playboy.

Every day, Harvey would say, "I vow to give every woman in the world a home and care for every girl in need of love."

Isn't that the quintessential playboy mantra?

The next day.

Selene woke up as the nurse came in to check on her and change her bandages. The nurse looked at Selene with envy and said, "Your boyfriend is really nice. He stayed with you all night. After you went into surgery, he stood outside waiting and insisted the doctors use the best medicine to save you."

Boyfriend?

Selene frowned and said, "He is..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Harvey returned with breakfast from outside. "Selene, you're awake. I bought you breakfast; which one do you like?"

The nurse couldn't hide her envy-what a considerate boyfriend.

Selene remained silent until the nurse left before asking Harvey, "What did you tell them we are?"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend, of course. Or should I have said you're my wife? I like delicate and soft girls, not an ice queen like you," Harvey replied. "You're injured like this; if I didn't bring you here and say that, they would have called the police thinking I did something to you."

Selene wanted to get angry but remembered what the nurse said about Harvey staying up all night for her. She chose to stay quiet.

Seeing her upset, Harvey held up an egg and asked, "Want some? I'll peel it for you; don't feel embarrassed."

Just as Selene was about to speak, a familiar voice interrupted: "Selene, how did you get hurt so badly?"

It was Damien Meadows.

Seeing Damien arrive, Selene frowned and told Harvey, "I don't want to eat; you can leave now."

Her tone was urgent because she knew what kind of person Damien was and didn't want to involve Harvey.

Hearing Damien call Selene by name and seeing her coldly asking him to leave, Harvey naturally didn't stay.

Harvey placed the egg on the table. "If you want it peeled yourself; if not, there's also porridge here. Call me if you need anything; press the call button."

With that, Harvey left.

Damien looked at Selene and smiled. "Selene, I didn't expect you to be doing so well out here. This guy listens to you pretty well. Does he know what you do?"

Selene stared coldly at Damien. "Stop buzzing around me like an annoying fly or you'll regret it."

"Your temper hasn't changed one bit," Damien said with a click of his tongue. "I'm here because our master sent me. Someone has paid for a life and our master wants you to take care of it." "Whose life?" Selene asked.

"The head of Sterling Corporation, Terrence Sterling," Damien replied with a look of amusement. "I know you're currently working as a bodyguard for Terrence Sterling's wife. Getting close to him should be easy for you; this task should be simple."
