Sterling stared at Claudia on the screen–her skin practically glowing, her smile both seductive and playful. His eyes darkened, and a flicker of heat lit up inside him.

He knew perfectly well that if he actually flew to Marvonia tonight, all he’d get was Claudia whining about being tired and sore after he pinned her to the bed for a lesson.

He swore, she really was put on this earth to test my patience.

But when it came to this sort of game, Sterling never lost.

He gave her a meaningful smile. “Baby, if you keep tempting me like this, do you know what I’ll do when you get home tonight?”

Claudia blinked. “What are you going to do?”

Sterling smiled. “Do you remember what I brought back from abroad?”

Instantly, Claudia remembered that little piece of lingerie she’d found in his suitcase at Serenity Peaks, rumpled and mangled from their last trip.

“Ugh! Pervert! Don’t you dare touch my stuff! If I lose even one piece, I’ll go to war with you.”

She kicked at the blankets, flustered.

Sterling loosened his tie, his lips curling as he watched her cheeks turn beet red under the covers. He couldn’t help but laugh.

She loved to tease, but as soon as he turned the tables, she couldn’t take it.

Feeling pleased with himself, Sterling kept poking at her. “Baby, you want to be close to me so badly? When you come home, let’s spend the whole night together–not even a second apart, okay?”

But instead of getting Claudia’s response, Sterling heard the thump of files hitting the ground.

Clint had just walked in, and his expression looked like he’d just been struck by lightning.

Is this really something a single guy like me should be hearing?

I already thought Mr. Romero was crazy for video chatting all the time with Ms. Lancaster,

Who would’ve thought something this wild could happen in the office?

Watching the scene, Clint felt his idolization of Sterling crumble, and he suddenly worried for his own safety–like he’d just heard something he was never supposed to know.

Hearing someone else in the room, Claudia hung up in a panic, completely flustered.

Sterling, meanwhile, acted like nothing had happened, and gave Clint a cool look as he finally got his expression under control.

“What is it?”

Clint cleared his throat, quickly shifting into professional mode.

“Mr. Romero, someone from the Lloyds is here.”

The Lloyds were the maiden family of Sterling’s stepmother, Winnie.

Today it was Winnie’s brother, Julian, who had come to Romero Corp.

The Lloyds had three sons and a daughter–Winnie was the youngest. The eldest son, Corbin, went into politics. The second son, Julian, was a successful businessman. The third son, Hugo, was a famous director.

Each of them had married women from other powerful families.

The Lloyds were a strong, influential clan.

Any hardship Winnie had suffered in her life came from marrying Quinton.

Back when Donovan took Sterling in to raise him, the Lloyds had made it clear, both openly and subtly, that they were against it.
