I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Before this, Selene had no idea that Ethan Channing was working for the Celestial Alliance. Reginald Hawthorne said coldly, "You just need to follow orders."

"Yes, Master," Selene dared not ask more. Reginald Hawthorne left satisfied, and Selene stared at the medicine in her hand, not taking it. She was truly tired of her current life. To escape the Celestial Alliance, the police station seemed like the best refuge.

"Selene, Master treats you so well, always giving you a month's supply while we only get a week's worth," Damien's voice lingered.

Selene looked up at Damien, "I can give you this bottle of medicine if you tell me where Terrence is." It was a clear trade. Damien knew the value of the medicine; they worked for Reginald Hawthorne just for this medicine to stay alive. Damien was surprised, "Are you really willing to give it to me? Selene, without the medicine, you'll die. Is it worth exchanging it for Terrence's whereabouts?"

Selene remained expressionless, "Whether it's worth it or not is my business. Do you want the medicine or not?"

Damien certainly wanted it and immediately said, "That night I was ordered to deal with Ethan Channing but failed. I only know that Master sent his men to ambush Terrence. As for where Terrence went, I'm not sure, but he is definitely not with the Celestial Alliance."

"Why ambush Terrence?" Selene asked, "That order doesn't exist."

"Selene, how much more do I know than you?" Damien replied, "Selene, the medicine."

Selene promptly threw the medicine to Damien and walked away coolly. Before dealing with Ethan Channing, she wanted to see Meredith. Maybe it would be their last meeting.

Night fell. Selene went straight into Ravenwood. Meredith was on the phone with Liam Michaelson, getting the latest news. Selene suddenly appeared in front of her, almost startling Meredith.

After hanging up the phone, Meredith asked, "Selene, Terrence is in trouble and is now missing. You're from the underworld; you should know if anyone has entered Auroraville recently." Meredith's precise questioning made Selene uneasy, but she didn't dare admit it: "I don't know."

"If even you don't know, then who wants Terrence dead? He disappeared; the police searched the entire mountain but found nothing," Meredith mentioned Terrence with a sour nose.

Selene numbly comforted her, "Meredith, don't worry. He should be fine. You can ask the police to check again if there were any suspicious vehicles entering or leaving during that time period. If someone wanted to take Terrence away, they would need transportation."

If he's not with the Celestial Alliance and Rick could survive, then Terrence must still be alive. When she arrived at the scene earlier, she didn't see Terrence either; there wasn't much time between the explosion and her arrival.

She remembered seeing a car parked not far from the explosion site when she left; its lights were off and no one was inside. Maybe finding that car could reveal who else was there at that time. But Selene couldn't say it outright; she could only guide Meredith to investigate.

Meredith nodded, "You're right. I was thinking about it too; he must still be alive. Otherwise, we would have found his body by now. The police checked cars coming from the dock to downtown during that time but haven't checked those going out yet. I'll call Liam Michaelson."

Meredith was about to call Liam Michaelson again when she suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Selene, you're with the Celestial Alliance. I heard your organization takes orders; I want to hire you to find out who harmed Terrence and his whereabouts. You can do that, right?"

Meredith's words made Selene's heart sink; it was people from the Celestial Alliance who wanted to harm Terrence. Now Meredith wanted their help?

Selene quickly said, "No."

Her reaction puzzled Meredith: "Why not? I'll pay whatever it costs."

"It's not about money," Selene found lying difficult and making up an excuse even harder for her. "The Celestial Alliance won't take such orders."

"I believe there's no deal in this world that can't be made; it's just a matter of price," Meredith insisted. "Selene, tell me how to place an order with your Celestial Alliance; I'll handle the rest."
