I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

As soon as Liam left, John Wilkinson handed all the documents to Selene. "Sarah, take a look at these. Do you remember anything about the assassin Rose?" Selene shook her head. "No impression. This person wore a mask."

John Wilkinson had an old Chinese doctor perform acupuncture on Selene, but it had no effect.

"Members of the Celestial Alliance rarely show their true faces during missions. Those who have seen them usually end up dead," John Wilkinson said. "This assassin Rose is the lowest rank, but even so, it's overkill just to steal a child." Selene asked, "Big brother, who was that person we met at the door?"

John Wilkinson explained, "Meredith. You used to be her bodyguard. The child that Rose stole is her daughter, Rowan."

"She's Meredith?" Selene furrowed her brows. She had heard this name from Harvey before.

When she saw Meredith earlier, she had no recollection.

Selene spent a long time at the police station with John Wilkinson, learning more about other cases related to the Celestial Alliance.

It was the first time Selene truly understood how many atrocious deeds the Celestial Alliance had committed, all documented and recorded.

Each case, each life taken, was noted down.

Selene also learned about her own notorious reputation in the underworld: the highest-ranking assassin of the Celestial Alliance, never missing a target and killing ruthlessly.

Thinking about all the blood on her hands made Selene feel heavy-hearted.

As they left the police station and got into the car, they noticed Meredith following them.

Meredith's tracking skills were rudimentary; both being highly perceptive-a killer and an anti-terror squad member-they naturally noticed her.

John Wilkinson wanted to shake off Meredith's tail. Selene said, "John, she's probably looking for me. She recognized me. Drive to a secluded place by the river so I can meet her." John Wilkinson was curious how Meredith recognized Selene. "Alright."

Soon, they stopped by the river. John Wilkinson got out and went to a nearby store to give them some space.

Selene stepped out and looked at Meredith's approaching car. Meredith parked and walked over, knowing they were waiting for her.

"You are Selene," Meredith stated confidently.

"What do you want?" Selene asked.

"Why are you with Captain Wilkinson?" Meredith was puzzled. A criminal and a cop shouldn't be so harmonious; did John Wilkinson have ulterior motives? Selene replied, "It's inconvenient to explain. Do you have any other business?"

The amnesiac Selene treated Meredith with more courtesy.

Meredith felt uneasy and asked, "Do you really remember nothing? I need to know where the Celestial Alliance headquarters is. Rowan was taken by them." "Sorry, I can't help you right now," Selene said bluntly. "I haven't remembered my past."

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Meredith asked, "Can you identify Reginald as the founder of the Celestial Alliance?"

Selene shook her head again. John Wilkinson wanted this information even more than Meredith did, but she couldn't recall anything.

The amnesiac Selene couldn't help at all.

Meredith felt deflated. "Thank you."

Selene giving her a chance to meet was already something Meredith was grateful for. Seeing that Selene was alright put her mind at ease.

Seeing John Wilkinson return, Meredith said goodbye to Selene and left in her car.

John Wilkinson returned and asked Selene, "What did Meredith talk to you about?"

"About the Celestial Alliance," Selene replied. She had seen Reginald's photo before-John Wilkinson had shown it to her-but she couldn't identify him either.

"Let's head back," John Wilkinson said as he got into the car and handed Selene a bottle of water. "We have an acupuncture appointment this afternoon; let's try again." Selene didn't refuse; she also wanted to regain her memory.

As they drove off, John Wilkinson took Selene back home. Today was meant for Selene to get some fresh air and test if the mask worked; however, it seemed not very reliable after all. Liam didn't recognize her, but Meredith did.

After they left, someone emerged from behind nearby greenery-someone neither John Wilkinson nor Selene had noticed watching them all along-Hya.
