The lessons they shared were so valuable that people would willingly pay a premium just to hear Luke and Rafael discuss these topics and reveal their strategies. Yet, they were sharing everything with Hera openly, almost as if they feared she might not grasp their perspectives. However, Hera impressed them on another level. She proved to be an exceptional student with remarkableprehension skills. She absorbed their information with ease, analyzed it thoroughly, and even identified ws and risks in their approaches. This led to a highly valuable discussion, benefiting not only to Hera’s learning but also helping Luke and Rafael uncover potential loopholes in their ns.


    With Hera’s insights, they were able to identify and address the loopholes in their ns, fortifying their strategies to prevent future exploitation. This experience revealed that Hera was not only a beautiful face but also remarkably intelligent and talented, with skills that rivaled their own. They felt as though they had uncovered a hidden gem, shaped and refined over time, and transformed into something truly valuable.


    Hera felt as though she were attending a private seminar given by renowned experts, with herself as the sole listener. She absorbed their insights with rapt attention and sparkling eyes, which only fueled Rafael and Luke’s enthusiasm to share their knowledge. Without realizing it, they had polished off all the food on the table. Throughout this engaging discussion, Gerald remained quiet, listening intently. He enjoyed the affinity and chemistry between Hera and the two men, feeling reassured about their future interactions and rtionships.


    Instead, Gerald took to the group chat with Hera’s aides to boast about how Hera had peeled shrimp just for him. His post sparked envy and jealousy among the other aides working overseas, and even Cindy, sitting in the penthouse of Green Dragon Manor, gritted her teeth in frustration. She was green with envy, eagerly awaiting Hera’s return.


    But these reactions only fueled Gerald’s excitement, causing him to continue his bragging in the group chat. His relentless posts began to annoy everyone else, leading the administrator to mute him. Gerald cursed under his breath, fuming with indignation. <i>’Isn’t this taking advantage of one’s position?! Die of envy, you bitches!’</i> he grumbled mentally before stuffing his phone back into his pocket.


    With their long lunching to an end, Hera nned to return to the university to attend sses scheduled a few hourster. She intended to wait on campus and walk around to aid digestion. However, Luke was reluctant to end the precious time with Hera. Given their busy schedules and rare opportunities to spend time together, he was eager to make the most of it and stay by her side for a little longer.


    "I noticed a lovely boat docked nearby. How about we take a short cruise on theke, feed the fish, and enjoy the scenery?" Luke suggested, ncing around the room. It was only then after his attention had been solely on Hera upon his arrival, that he took a moment to look around. Now, as he tried to find a reason to keep her a little longer, he discovered the boat and thought it might be the perfect opportunity for a rxing diversion.


    Hera remembered Gerald mentioning that the ce was meticulously prepared and cared for by her grandfather, which made her eager to fully enjoy the scenery. Theke looked so ethereal, like something straight out of a fairytale, and it ignited her enthusiasm. With plenty of time before her next ss, Hera didn’t hesitate to agree.


    Rafael and Luke exchanged excited smiles, their enthusiasm akin to that of eager boys heading to the park. They each gently took one of Hera’s hands, guiding her to stand and leading her toward the boat with a sense of joyful anticipation.


    Gerald, not wanting to intrude, stayed seated and busied himself with taking pictures of the trio from behind. Luke and Rafael worked seamlessly together to ensure Hera wasfortably settled on the plush white velvet seats of the boat. The seats were shaded by a grand parasol with intricate gold carvings, giving the whole setup a regal touch.
