As a result of this online saga and withizens knowing what each of them looked like, they began officially creating groups among the six men and shipping them with Hera. Many started investing time to follow the developments in their love rivalry, finding this live romance drama more captivating than a movie because it involved real-life CEOs and well-known personalities. The excitement made their adrenaline rush.
However, due to this online saga, they realized they had all faced difficulty, with suspicion mainly directed at Leo. Yet, it didn’t quite add up. As a mere manager from Hendrix’s branch family, Leo shouldn’t have wielded significant influence over Hendrix’s decisions impacting theirpany. Moreover, it seemed unlikely that the sole heir of the Hendrix family would be interested in Hera, especially given rumors of his engagement to the heiress of the Avery family.
While they suspected Leo’s involvement, as Leo himself pointed out, theycked concrete evidence. They refrained from retaliating randomly, concerned that Leo might speak negatively about them to Hera, potentially worsening their already shaky first impression.
So the five men decided to let it rest, allowing Leo to escape unscathed from his mischievous antics against them, who were coveting his wife. Leo, however, was determined to keep Hera unaware of his actions, fearing she might perceive him negatively if she discovered his schemes. He continued to present himself as weak and endearing in her presence, knowing that exposing his true intentions in undermining the other men could reveal his real character.
Even after resolving the scandal and steering it in the desired direction, they continued to linger in the group chat, enjoying casual conversations. Surprisingly, they discoveredmon interests and simr experiences with Leo. Unbeknownst to the five male leads, they gradually began to include Leo in their discussions, almost weing him into their circle.
After Hera finished with her phone, Dave and Rafael smoothly put theirs away as if nothing had transpired. Dave discreetly logged out of his ount and returned Logan’s phone from under the table. They all resumed their dinner happily, continuing as if nothing had never urred.
After finishing their meal, Hera apanied Logan to his new ce while Rafael and Dave went their separate ways from Hera, with Rafael dropping Dave off at his ce. Sandra also headed off on her own after the evening concluded.
Initially, Rafael and Dave considered apanying Hera to ensure she reached home safely. However, upon Hera’s reassurance that she would manage fine and they should head home to rest, they relented, mindful not to appear overly insistent or intrusive.
Of course, Hera had no reason to worry about her safety; Cindy had secretly assigned bodyguards to discreetly follow her. They performed their duties so well that even Dave and Rafael were unaware of their presence. If any trouble were to arise, these vignt bodyguards, concealed in the shadows, would emerge swiftly to ensure Hera’s protection.
With this reassurance, Hera could travel without worry. Before she drove Logan to the address provided by Betty for his new ce to stay. They passed through a run-down residential area where they unexpectedly encountered Lucas sitting on the steps of the main entrance.
As Hera slowed her car to a stop, Lucas appeared by the driver’s side window, already knocking. Anticipating his approach, Hera rolled down the window before the car fully halted. She gestured to Logan to quickly gather his belongings so they could depart.
"Senior, where did you take Logan?" Lucas inquired, hisposed smile masking a hint of panic.
"I simply took him out for a meal. Why, am I not allowed to treat my junior to a friendly dinner?" Hera replied sarcastically, her sweet smile leaving Lucas at a loss for words.
