<strong>[Dave:</strong> So, the flowers and gifts we sent to our girl have arrived. Her assistant received them.]


    <strong>[Zhane:</strong> That’s good to hear.]


    <strong>[Rafael:</strong> This way, we don’t even need to watch over her 24/7—no one will dare get too close.]


    <strong>[Xavier:</strong> Do you really think there’s a man out there dumb enough to try stealing our girl?]


    <strong>[Luke:</strong> Never underestimate stupidity. There’s always someone who thinks too highly of themselves.]


    <strong>[Leo:</strong> They can overestimate themselves all they want, but whether they can actually take my woman from me depends on their abilities. And, of course, it’s not like I’d go down without a fight.]


    <strong>[Dave:</strong> ...Are you seriously taking this joke that far?]


    <strong>[Leo:</strong> Even if I’m fighting ants, I have to take them seriously when ites to my wife. Comcency breeds inadequacy, and before you know it, you’ve lost without even realizing how.]


    <strong>[Xavier:</strong> Oh!]


    <strong>[Xavier:</strong> (￣ー￣)ゞ]


    <strong>[Zhane:</strong> Good point. Ignore Dave—he’s the one with the slowest results. What does he even bring to the table?]


    <strong>[Rafael:</strong> True. Dave is the most ipetent among us. He can’t even contribute properly...]


    <strong>[Xavier:</strong> So ipetent.]


    <strong>[Luke:</strong> Don’t be too hard on the poor guy.]


    <strong>[Luke:</strong> (???)]


    <strong>[Dave:</strong> (＃`Д′)?]


    <strong>[Dave:</strong> Damn you guys!]


    <strong>[Dave:</strong> Watch your backs—I’ll definitely find a chance to kick your asses!]


    ...


    While the six men were busy bickering like children in their group chat, Hera sat quietly, reading the handwritten notes attached to each bouquet she had received. A soft smile crept onto her lips as she took in their words, one by one.


    Unbeknownst to her, she was already grinning as she read through the heartfelt messages.


    <strong>[Dave’s Note:]</strong><strong></strong>


    <i>[Sweetheart, I want you to smile and enjoy your day. This is your first film, and I hope you’re doing what makes you happy. I will always support you.</i><i></i>


    <strong>P.S.:</strong> I can’te to see you right now—my assistant refuses to return my freedom. So please wait for me.


    <strong>P.P.S.:</strong> Send me a picture of your face while enjoying my gift. That would make my busy day a whole lot better.


    <strong>P.P.P.S.:</strong> My grandpa is requesting to meet you. I may have <i>identally</i> bragged about snagging the most beautiful girlfriend and showed him your picture... Now, he’spletely smitten with his future granddaughter-inw and is currently in a tug-of-war with Patriarch Everett over who gets to ’im dibs’ on you. I just know you’re going to love the old guy.


    <strong>[Rafael’s Note:]</strong><strong></strong>


    [<i>Little Minx, I know you’re going to be amazing in your first film. I’ll support you every step of the way. And if anyone even thinks about bullying you, don’t hesitate to use my name—I’ll make sure no one dares toy a finger on what’s mine. No one looks down on you and gets away with it.</i>


    <i></i><i>Oh, and by the way...</i><i></i>


    <i>You were insanely hotst night. (???)]</i>


    <strong>[Luke’s Note:]</strong>


    <strong></strong><i>[Babe, I hope I didn’t go overboardst night... I know I got a little rough, maybe even a bit too beastly. I just couldn’t get enough of you, and I lost control. I hope I didn’t scare you... but at the same time, I can’t bring myself to regret it. You’ve awakened something in me that I never knew existed.</i><i></i>


    <i>You know I love you, right?]</i>


    <strong>[Xavier’s Note:]</strong><strong></strong>


    [<i>Hera, I may be out of the country right now, caught up with work, but that doesn’t mean my heart isn’t with you. No matter where I am, you’re always on my mind, my little strawberry.</i><i></i>


    <i>Be patient and wait for me, okay? I promise, I’ll make it worth your while when I get back.]</i>


    <strong>[Zhane’s Note:]</strong><strong></strong>


    [<i>Hera, people say I’m cold, emotionless—a man who doesn’t feel. But the truth is, you’ve taken my breath away, and my eyes see only you. I can only hope you never grow tired of me. If I get a little needy, a little rough sometimes, please don’t be mad.</i><i></i>


    <i>I miss you, love. So much that I can’t even focus on work. Every curve of you, every part of you lingers in my mind, and I can’t escape it—not that I want to. You are my life now, and that means you’re not getting away from me. Ever.]</i>


    <strong>[Leo’s Note:]</strong><strong></strong>


    [<i>Wifey, I’m sorry I’ve been busytely, but you know my heart and mind are always with you. Please take care of yourself, eat on time, and don’t overwork yourself while I’m away.</i><i></i>


    <i>I love you. Only you. Always remember that.]</i>


    As Hera read through the letters attached to the bouquets, she couldn’t help but smile foolishly at how sweet they were. At first, the affectionate words made her heart flutter, but as she continued, one letter after another became a little too... <i>erotic</i> for a public setting.


    Her face turned beet red, and Daisy started to notice her shifting expressions. Thankfully, Daisy didn’t attempt to read each letter in detail—she only nced at the sender’s name and the short notes visible to her before passing them along.


    Fortunately, the delivery guy had followed strict instructions from the senders, ensuring that only messages meant for Hera’s assistant were shared with Daisy, sparing Hera from further embarrassment.
