Now that they thought about it, they suspect something happenedst night before Luke arrived to fetch Dave, which led to Dave acting clingy and needy in front of Hera. They all knew how cunning and thick-skinned Dave was, and he wouldn’t let go of any opportunity. If he weren’t like that, he wouldn’t have been able to lead their country to be a new powerhouse, winning numerous opportunities and resources from other nations through his diplomatic ventures.


    Now, each of the other male leads feels threatened and wants to up their game. They didn’t even realize when they began to pay attention to Hera and how their feelings blossomed. However, since Dave took the first step, they all soon followed. Yet, it seems the universe has other ns, as emergencies keep them tied up. For instance, Zhane has an emergency surgery for an old veteran, causing his consultation with Bry’s uncle to be postponed until the afternoon. He just needs to wait until then to meet Hera, but he feels anxious knowing that even his own friends are vying for her attention.


    Rafael was dealing with a crisis at hispany involving an A-list celebrity caught in a scandal that was making waves on the inte. If it weren’t for the private photos of Hera from the university circting online, giving him a brief respite, he would still be overwhelmed by the scandal threatening hispany’s reputation. Meanwhile, Luke was stuck in an emergency meeting, and Xavier had just arrived in country D for an endorsement deal. When he saw the photos of Hera with Leo, he wanted to return immediately, but thepany that hired him had already intercepted him before he could make a move.


    So, they could only grit their teeth and watch the developments between Dave, Leo, and Hera unfold. Athena, on the other hand, was thoroughly enjoying the drama, the only thing missing was popcorn and a Coke for her to fully enjoy the show.


    Just a few days ago, Leo believed that Dave was unaware of who Hera was and was merely teasing his friends for fun. Now, Leo feels like he’s missed something crucial and doesn’t know when Dave got close to Hera. He knows that Dave can be as sly as a fox and worries that Hera might be deceived by him if she stays in hispany.


    Leo fretted over Hera’s gentle disposition, fearing she might fall prey to Dave’s cunning charm and even willingly assist him in his schemes. "You seem rather rxed. Should I ring your assistant and inform them of your leisurely rendezvous at the university looking for ady?" Leo’s tone carried a subtle threat. He was keenly aware of Dave’s habit of shirking his responsibilities, leaving his assistants to manage neglected tasks while he pursued leisure activities, much to the concern of his confidants.


    "Oh! I have some important matters to discuss with her, you know," Dave remarked with a mysterious smile, subtly taunting Leo, hoping to stir confusion.


    "What could that possibly be?" Leo inquired with forced calmness, despite grasping Dave’s implied meaning, he chose to feign ignorance and disregard it.


    "Are you sure you wanted to hear our rendevous in her ce?" Dave’s words echoed hauntingly as a smug smirk danced on his lips, deliberately striking a nerve with Leo. Jealousy surged through Leo, his grip on Hera’s hand tightening involuntarily. Despite his attempt to feign ignorance of Dave’s insinuation, Leo couldn’t shake the unsettling feeling in his chest. He understood Dave’s reputation for cunning, yet he also recognized Dave don’t lie about important matters. ncing at Hera, Leo silently sought reassurance, hoping to find sce in her expression.
