Chapter 76 Following Home
Meredith’s heart skipped a beat at the sight of Terrence Sterling here at this late hour. How could he be here?
Terrence Sterling, in a dark brown coat with a scarf around his neck, stood calmly by his car, smoking and seemingly waiting for someone.
In this bustling city, it was not easy for two people to meet.
He had always been at the top of the pyramid, while Meredith was just a small and ordinary figure in this city.
Meredith took a deep breath and convinced herself that Terrence Sterling couldn’t be here for her.
She walked down the steps, pretending not to have seen him, and headed towards the subway station on the right.
Suddenly, a deep voice called out to her, “Meredith, stop.”
His tone was cold, mixed with a hint of anger and a commanding tone.
This woman had clearly seen him but pretended not to.
Meredith froze in her tracks, not daring to turn around, even thinking it might be a hallucination. Why would he be calling her?
At the same time, her heart churned with conflicting emotions. Was he calling her? Was he here for her?
The footsteps behind her drew closer, and Meredith suddenly turned around, nearly colliding with Terrence Sterling stepping towards her.
She looked into his deep, abyss-like eyes, feeling her heart churn even more violently.
He stared at her with a steady gaze, “You really have guts, avoiding me like that? Are you afraid of me?”
Meredith was at a loss, feeling like this was a dream. Terrence Sterling was actually standing in front of her.
“Are you speechless?” Terrence Sterling spoke with a tone that implied he had no patience for Meredith, “Quite honorable of you to just leave like that. Your resignation letter hasn’t been approved by me yet. You joined Falconer Holdings without terminating your labor contract with Sterling Corporation. You’ve violated the contract, Meredith. Do you know the consequences, or do I need to remind you?”
This was the first time Terrence Sterling had spoken so much to Meredith at once.
He had intended to talk to her calmly before finding her, but seeing her avoid him like a mouse avoiding a cat, an unknown anger surged within him.
Gathering her thoughts, Meredith said, “Mr. Sterling, if you wanted to sue me in the past few months, you would have done so already. I’m just a small fish, not worth your attention. I apologize for my disrespect towards you…”
Terrence Sterling’s cold voice interrupted, “How do you know I haven’t been bothered by it?”
“Huh?” Meredith didn’t understand.
“Get in the car.” Terrence Sterling grabbed Meredith’s hand and led her towards his car.
On this winter night, his hand felt warm, and as she felt the warmth from his palm, Meredith’s heart raced, and her cheeks gradually flushed.
Meredith, seemingly under a spell, got into the car, only snapping out of it when Terrence Sterling started the engine, asking, “Mr. Sterling, where are we going?”
“Your home.” Terrence Sterling was serious, and the car actually headed towards Meredith’s rental apartment.
Seeing that the route was correct, Meredith was astonished, “Mr. Sterling, how do you know where I live?”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Terrence Sterling said blankly, “I just do.”
In these few months, Terrence Sterling thought Meredith’s departure would help him forget, but the desire to possess her remained strong.
Without restraint, Terrence Sterling decided to come find her tonight.
Even he was shocked by this reckless behavior.
The car soon reached the building where Meredith’s apartment was located, and he got out of the car, heading towards the residential area without a word.
Meredith realized something was wrong and hurried to catch up, “Mr. Sterling, are you secretly investigating me?”
Why would he investigate her?
Why would he care where she lived?
Terrence Sterling remained silent, walking confidently into a building, a familiarity that made Meredith uneasy.
Terrence Sterling knew her inside out, and if he had any ill intentions, it would be terrifying.
Arriving at the door of Meredith’s rental apartment, Terrence Sterling gestured with his eyes, “Open the door.”
Meredith hesitated, “Mr. Sterling, this is my home. You know it so well, do you have an explanation for this?”
Suddenly, Meredith was a bit afraid to let Terrence Sterling into her home. She wasn’t a child, and in the dead of night, with Terrence Sterling following her home, a single man and a single woman, she couldn’t ignore the question of his intentions.
