She was well aware that Luke was the quickest among the male leads to be aroused, always ready for intimate encounters anywhere and anytime. In the novel, Luke had the most passionate moments with the female lead outdoors, their interactions mirroring those of a newlywed couple whenever they exchanged nces.


    Now, Hera could only cry in her thoughts because Athena kept on grumbling about this information and now, she couldn’t keep clean thoughts to herself whenever she sees the male leads. Their presence constantly challenged her acting ability to pretend like she was not disturbed or was thinking about something indecent while around them.


    Hera pretended not to notice anything, and they continued jogging together in silence, the atmosphere between them harmonious. If Leo were to witness this scene, he would likely overturn the table in anger. Leo had deliberately piled Luke’s te with work to keep him upied in his office, hoping to rattle him. However, despite Leo’s efforts to burden him, Luke’s natural charisma and leadership qualities coupled with his ’male lead halo’ enabled him to resolve the issues Leo threw at him in a single sleepless night.


    He was about to go to sleep, but after recalling what Dave had mentioned the day before, Luke altered his ns and decided to go for a run, hoping to ’coincidentally’ encounter Hera and spend more time with her.


    Luke was decisive about his preferences. If he enjoyed something, he acted promptly to seize opportunities before others could intervene. He detested wasting time that could be spent pursuing his passions rather than fretting over trivial matters. Like many male leads, he was determined and possessive, willing to go to great lengths to achieve his desires.


    He was fiercelypetitive yet adept at leveraging his strengths, with a deep understanding of himself. Luke was clear about his likes and dislikes. The moment he first saw Hera in the lounge of the Jade Dragon Building, he felt a slight interest in her. As he watched her on the Variety Show and observed how she interacted with others, his admiration grew. She captivated him with her demeanor, prompting him to actively participate in the chat section and watch the Variety Show attentively from start to finish.


    While Rafael struggled with seeing Hera as merely a financial opportunity and suppressed any romantic interest, and Zhane remained uncertain, viewing Hera solely as a former patient, Luke was distinct. He recognized his feelings for Hera from the very beginning.


    He was keenly aware of the burgeoning passion he felt for her and made every effort to conceal this side of himself, fearing it might intimidate her. Yes, he had entertained the idea of making her his wife, acknowledging the potential forpetition among his friends who also showed interest in her. He had thought through these scenarios carefully.


    In the novel, he is initially portrayed as thest to engage romantically with the female lead, not showing interest until they spend a week stranded on an ind together. During this time alone, they became intimately entangled, and he came to admire her resilience and admirable character, ultimately leading him to ept her.


    At this moment, his admiration, which was supposedly directed towards Alice, had shifted towards Hera. However, Hera had not yet grasped this crucial shift. Despite the male leads showing interest in her, she remained uncertain about how long she could maintain their attention and prevent them from turning their focus back to Alice, possibly reenacting events from the novel and jeopardizing her family’s stability.


    That’s why, aside from Leo, she could be kinder to the male leads and not treat them as her enemy since the tragedy has yet to happen but she can’t bring herself to open up to thempletely at this point because of the uncertainty, and Luke could also feel that Hera has build a solid wall around her heart that wouldn’t be easy to prate if he really wanted to make her him woman.
