I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Julian was quite surprised. Today, Terrence Sterling was acting very unusual. He allowed Leyton Sterling to join them for breakfast and even agreed to take him to the company. In the past, Terrence Sterling would have never agreed to this. Could it be that becoming a father had softened his heart, making him more tolerant of his brother, Leyton?

Julian thought this was a good thing, a sign of brotherly harmony. "Alright, let's take him along," Julian said simply, unaware that both Leyton Sterling and Terrence Sterling had their own agendas.

Julian and Leyton Sterling rode in one car, while Terrence Sterling took another. Rick and the driver were already waiting at the door.

After getting into the car, Terrence Sterling ordered coldly, "Keep an eye on Leyton Sterling. Also, when we get to the office, tell him that the office surveillance is broken."

"But the surveillance isn't broken..." Rick glanced at Terrence Sterling's expression and quickly understood. "Got it, Mr. Sterling."

Seeing Leyton Sterling coming along had puzzled Rick earlier, but now he understood-it was intentional.

Terrence Sterling looked out the car window. Through the rearview mirror, he could see Julian and Leyton Sterling in the vehicle behind them. Without giving Leyton Sterling an opportunity, how could Ethan Channing make his next move? An hour later, the two cars arrived at the entrance of Sterling Corporation's building one after the other.

Julian held onto Leyton Sterling as if he were a child, afraid he might get lost.

Terrence Sterling and Rick walked ahead and went upstairs to the office. Following instructions, Rick reported some work arrangements and then deliberately said in front of Leyton Sterling, "Mr. Sterling, by the way, your office surveillance is broken and hasn't been fixed yet. I've ordered new equipment; it should be ready by this afternoon."

"Just a minor issue; no need to report it to me," Terrence Sterling said expressionlessly. "Notify everyone that there will be a meeting in ten minutes."

"Yes, Mr. Sterling," Rick replied and left.

Upon hearing that the office surveillance was broken, Leyton Sterling felt a surge of joy. Today was indeed his lucky day. He had been worrying about how to come to the company and steal the seal; now he had come smoothly and even found out that the surveillance was broken. It seemed like fate was on his side.

Terrence Sterling said to Julian, "Dad, you two stay here for a while. I'll come back after I'm done with my work. If you need anything to eat or drink, just ask the secretary."

"Alright, son, you go ahead," Julian smiled. "Don't worry about us; I'll just wander around."

Terrence Sterling then went to the meeting room.

With Terrence gone, Leyton Sterling felt much more at ease without his oppressive presence. However, he still didn't have a chance to act since Julian was always around.

Leyton pretended to be curious about everything in the office, touching and looking around.

Julian warned him, "Leyton, don't touch these things; they're very important."

Ignoring Julian's warning, Leyton deliberately touched an ornament on the desk and laughed foolishly. "Julian, this is so interesting and beautiful."

Seeing that Leyton was just being childish, Julian said, "That's an hourglass; it's just for decoration. Just don't break it."

While Leyton's hand touched the hourglass ornament, his eyes were on the seal on the desk.

Usually kept in a safe, today the seal was conveniently on the desk. If he could just distract Julian for a moment, he could steal it.

Leyton had already prepared a fake seal for a swap.

"Leyton," he said purposefully, "I want some cake."

"Alright, I'll ask Linda to get some," Julian said as he went out to call Linda.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Leyton quickly swapped the real seal with his fake one. Unbeknownst to him, this scene was being watched by Terrence Sterling from the meeting room. Terrence could see everything happening in his office through his phone's surveillance feed.
