Chapter 31 Confession Under Urgency
This woman, with a mouthful of nonsense, makes it hard to tell the truth from lies.
Terrence Sterling stared at Meredith like this, and Meredith walked by sensibly: “Mr. Sterling.”
“Miss Florrick, do you like women?” Terrence Sterling, expressionless, indifferent: “Didn’t you say you had a fiance last time?”
Meredith: “…”
Can she say that she swings both ways now?
Terrence Sterling might look at her differently.
She couldn’t always use Justin as a shield, lies always have a way of being uncovered.
Meredith honestly said: “Actually, I don’t have a fiance, the guy downstairs from the company before, he’s my friend, we grew up in an orphanage together. I just wanted some peace and quiet last time, just talked nonsense. Mr. Sterling, if you think I’m not suitable to be your secretary, you can transfer me to another position.”
Meredith would be happy to take on another position, so she wouldn’t have to see Terrence Sterling, her life could be peaceful, just in case Terrence Sterling remembers that night in the future, that would be trouble.
Terrence Sterling stared deeply at her: “Single?”
Meredith kept her head down: “Single.”
One of the rules of having a secretary for Terrence Sterling is not to have single women.
She thought Terrence Sterling would be angry, but instead, he turned and walked into the hotel.
Meredith didn’t know what Terrence Sterling meant, couldn’t figure it out, and would she have to ask for an explanation when they returned to Auroraville?
Back in the hotel room, Meredith quickly fell asleep carefree, as for how Terrence Sterling would deal with her, she wouldn’t worry about things that hadn’t happened yet.
As for Terrence Sterling, when he found out Meredith was single, there was a slight change in his heart, but this subtle change, he didn’t realize.
The next day.
After breakfast, Meredith knocked on Terrence Sterling’s door.
Soon, Terrence Sterling opened the door.
Meredith waited at the door: “Mr. Sterling, what are the plans for today?”
She couldn’t just come over to play for two days and not do anything.
“In ten minutes, come with me to Clearwater Lab,” Terrence Sterling said, “to meet my Uncle Mason.”
Clearwater Lab is under the Sterling Corporation, and Mason Sterling has been managing it.
“Yes, Mr. Sterling.”
Ten minutes later.
On the way to Clearwater Lab.
Meredith couldn’t help but ask: “Mr. Sterling, why did you choose to bring me to Meriton? It seems like, I can’t help with anything.”
Terrence Sterling sneered coldly: “At least you have self-awareness.”
Meredith pretended to have a sudden realization: “Mr. Sterling, so you brought me here to fresh you up.”
That was Terrence Sterling’s exact words last time.
It’s really refreshing, arguing with him all the way.
Terrence Sterling drove and said, “I know the movements in the company, my Uncle Mason is clear on them, and there are his informants in the company, to keep you safe.”
Meredith seemed to understand.
Terrence Sterling explaining one sentence to her was already giving face.
Meredith didn’t ask any more questions.
At this moment, Meredith saw that the traffic light ahead was red, but Terrence Sterling showed no intention of slowing down.
As they got closer to the intersection, Meredith got nervous, gripping her toes tightly: “Mr. Sterling, the light…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Terrence Sterling ran the red light, and to avoid a side-approaching vehicle, he even drifted, hitting Meredith’s head on the car door.
Terrence Sterling kept driving without reducing speed, continuously changing lanes, several times with extreme maneuvers.
Meredith’s heart was in her throat, terrified, she couldn’t help but call his name: “Terrence Sterling, what are you doing, slow down, even if I upset you, lied to you, you shouldn’t risk our lives with your anger.”
The car almost collided with other vehicles several times, Meredith closed her eyes in fear, feeling somewhat hopeless.
Then she heard something even more desperate: “The brakes are not working.”
Upon hearing this, Meredith suddenly opened her eyes to check the brakes.
Terrence Sterling was stepping on the brakes, but they were of no use.
Meredith panicked, but she chose to stay quiet, not blabbering nonsense, she couldn’t help, so she kept silent. Meredith had always been self-aware in this regard.
Although Terrence Sterling couldn’t reduce speed, he kept putting himself in the most dangerous position on the driver’s side.
Meredith didn’t look forward, she left the future and tomorrow to Terrence Sterling now.
Meredith stared at Terrence Sterling, watching him tightly gripping the steering wheel, veins bulging on the back of his hands, his nervousness should not be less than hers.
He just controlled himself well.
Because of his calmness, Meredith also inexplicably felt a sense of security.
Terrence Sterling actually noticed every move of Meredith, she didn’t scream in fear like other women.
She was calm.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
To be so calm in a life-threatening situation surprised Terrence Sterling.
Avoiding the vehicles, Terrence Sterling drove towards an uninhabited area and asked her, “Are you afraid of death?”
“Sure,” Meredith’s voice trembled, “My legs are weak now, Terrence Sterling, I don’t want to die, I haven’t seen my baby born yet…”
The car uncontrollably rushed downhill, heading towards the reservoir, once it entered, there was only one way to die.
Under urgency, Meredith didn’t want to have any regrets, she looked at Terrence Sterling as if delivering her last words, with nothing to hold back, she shouted, “Terrence Sterling, I’m carrying your child.”
