I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Harvey Fieldmouse led Meredith into the shop, which predominantly featured men’s clothing. The most expensive item here cost no more than a thousand. Discount sale stickers adorned the walls everywhere, with prices like $29. 99 or $9. 99 per piece.

Feeling embarrassed, Meredith whispered, “Mr. Fieldmouse, should we try another store?”

Even with the lavish gifts Harvey Fieldmouse had given her, amounting to tens of thousands, she felt uneasy about buying such cheap clothes for him. “Let’s stick with this store,” Harvey Fieldmouse said casually, picking up a pink sports outfit. “Miss Florrick, what do you think about this set?”

Normally, men wouldn’t choose pink. Meredith hesitated, thinking the color might be too soft, but Harvey Fieldmouse beat her to it. “I’ll try it on,” he said before heading to the fitting room.

Soon enough, Harvey Fieldmouse emerged in the pink sports outfit, with its short sleeves and shorts design. Most men would look greasy in such pink attire, yet on Harvey Fieldmouse, it appeared youthful and somewhat cute. With his slightly chubby build and round face, the pink outfit added to his charm.

“What do you think, Miss Florrick?” Harvey Fieldmouse seemed pleased.

Meredith nodded, “It’s nice, very youthful and energetic.” Harvey Fieldmouse had fair skin, and despite being slightly chubby, his proportions were good, making him look handsome in the outfit.

Yet, the price tag read $69 for the set. “I’ll take this set; no need for any exchanges. I’ll wear it out,” Harvey Fieldmouse stated. “Miss Florrick, please pay.”

“Mr. Fieldmouse, are you sure you don’t want to try another store?” Meredith felt she was getting the better end of the deal.

“Gifts are about the thought, not the price,” Harvey Fieldmouse said smoothly. “Miss Florrick, your thoughtfulness is priceless.”

With Harvey Fieldmouse’s insistence, they ended up purchasing the pink outfit. Afterwards, he didn’t linger with Meredith, simply saying, “Carry on with your tasks, Miss Florrick. I have something to attend to.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Buying just a set of clothes? Meredith couldn’t quite comprehend Harvey Fieldmouse’s actions. Little did she know, he was eager to return to the office to show off to Terrence Sterling. As they left Briarcliff Lofts earlier, Harvey Fieldmouse spotted Terrence Sterling on the roadside.

Terrence Sterling must have seen his car, knowing he had taken Meredith away and wouldn’t be waiting in the neighborhood anymore; he would have returned to the office. At Sterling Corporation, within Terrence Sterling’s office, his demeanor was icy upon arriving.

Rick could tell Terrence Sterling wasn’t in a good mood, cautious in his actions to avoid any confrontations. Linda entered the office to report, only to receive a reprimand from Terrence Sterling and the need to redo her plans. Leaving the office, Linda turned to Rick, asking, “Mr. Shepard, what’s wrong with Mr. Sterling today? Did something happen?”

“I don’t know, but Mr. Sterling isn’t in a good mood today. You guys should tread carefully,” Rick could only offer limited help, knowing he was also in a vulnerable position.

As they conversed, they noticed Harvey Fieldmouse walking past towards Terrence Sterling’s office. Linda asked, “Should we warn Mr. Fieldmouse?”

“What’s the relationship between Mr. Sterling and Mr. Fieldmouse? If Mr. Fieldmouse sets the office on fire, Mr. Sterling won’t say a word. Let Mr. Fieldmouse handle Mr. Sterling’s temper,” Rick replied.

Linda agreed, “That makes sense.”

Within the office, Terrence Sterling was irritated. At that moment, Harvey Fieldmouse pushed open the office door in his pink hoodie, smiling as he entered. “Terry, how do I look in this outfit today? Isn’t it stylish and reflective of my charm? Miss Florrick bought this for me.”

Terrence Sterling’s expression darkened, “Why did Meredith buy clothes for you?”

Harvey Fieldmouse evaded the truth, joking, “She must have thought I looked handsome and gifted me something. Terry, are you envious?”

Terrence Sterling snorted, “Childish.”

Enjoying his banter, Harvey Fieldmouse taunted, “Terry, don’t be bitter. Miss Florrick hasn’t given you any gifts, right? I bet you envy the sentiment behind this outfit, no matter how expensive it is. Miss Florrick’s thoughtfulness is priceless.”

Terrence Sterling leaned back slightly, calmly stating, “How about this? Also a gift from Miss Florrick.”

Harvey Fieldmouse fell silent.
