I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Every affection begins with recognizing someone's uniqueness. To Harvey, Selene was different. She wasn't like other girls. Despite her strength, he saw her as someone who needed protection.

Meredith said, "You won't see her at the police station for now. No need to rush with hiring a lawyer. I'm just informing you so you don't go asking around."

Meredith would do her best to get Selene out soon, but now wasn't the time. If the Celestial Alliance were dismantled, that would be the best opportunity for Selene's release. For now, Selene was safest inside.

Meredith and Terrence only speculated about Selene's relationship with John Wilkinson. Since it wasn't public knowledge, she wouldn't mention it. With John Wilkinson involved, Meredith wasn't worried; Selene would be safe and unharmed for the time being.

After hanging up, Harvey sat in his office, feeling deflated. Meredith's words echoed in his mind as he realized he had unknowingly developed feelings for Selene. It puzzled him how he could like such a cold woman.

Harvey chuckled to himself but grew agitated at the thought of Selene possibly being imprisoned for a long time. He stood up, grabbed his car keys, and headed out.

"Mr. Fieldmouse, where are you going?" Elsa approached just then.

Harvey had previously asked Elsa to gather information from John Wilkinson about the Celestial Alliance. Elsa misinterpreted this as Harvey liking her and sought him out daily.

"Where I go is none of your business," Harvey replied curtly.

"Mr. Fieldmouse, didn't you ask me to get information from my brother about that Celestial Alliance prisoner? I found out something. Let's have dinner tonight and discuss it," Elsa suggested, using this as an excuse to spend time with Harvey. Harvey already knew about Selene's situation. "No need. I have things to do. You go ahead," he said dismissively.

"What do you have to do? I'll join you," Elsa persisted, trying to take his arm.

Harvey pulled away. "Elsa, what are you doing? I told you I have things to do and no time to waste here. Go away."

His tone was harsh. Company employees passing by noticed, making Elsa feel embarrassed. "Mr. Fieldmouse, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

"Elsa, let me make it clear again: I don't like you. Stop wasting your time here. I appreciate your help before and have fulfilled my promise with appropriate compensation. We're even." Harvey distanced himself further. "Don't come back."

Feeling irritable, Harvey spoke sharply and walked away quickly after saying this.

Elsa felt humiliated and her eyes reddened with anger but she still refused to give up. She liked Harvey and was determined to pursue him regardless of how he treated her.

After composing herself, she wiped her tears and chased after him but couldn't find him; he had already left.

Night fell.

John Wilkinson returned home late after a busy day. His superiors had approved his mission; he would leave for Japan tomorrow to capture Reginald.

The efficiency was impressive; Meredith had called Darcy DuMont and John Wilkinson's request was promptly approved. Having connections certainly sped things up.

John Wilkinson arrived home at 1 AM. Opening the door to an empty house reminded him of when Selene lived there, filling him with guilt.

He had promised Selene he would protect her but now felt helpless as she faced imprisonment despite his efforts over many years to find her.

Weighed down by his thoughts, John Wilkinson tossed his coat onto the sofa and sat down wearily.

Just then, the door to the guest room opened and John Wilkinson perked up. "Sarah..."
