CEO loves me with all his soul.

Lucas, sitting by Adrian’s bedside with a thoughtful frown, turned his attention to the desk littered with papers. The strange formulas Adrian had written during his trance were still an enigma. He picked up the sheets and left the room, encountering Isaac in the hallway.

Isaac raised an eyebrow, noting the intensity in Lucas’s expression. "What’s wrong now?"

Lucas handed him the papers. "Adrian wrote these during his... abnormal state. Do you recognize any of this? It seems mathematical or technical, but it’s way beyond my understanding."

Isaac glanced through the sheets, squinting at the intricate symbols and equations. His brow furrowed. "I’m not a mathematical genius or a cyber expert," he admitted. "This looks like gibberish to me." He handed the papers back to Lucas with a shrug.

Frustrated, Lucas pressed. "There has to be someone who can decipher this. Adrian’s condition might depend on it."

Isaac rubbed his chin thoughtfully before snapping his fingers. "I’ll ask Luri. She’s brilliant with things like this—codes, numbers, you name it."

Lucas immediately shook his head. "Isaac, we can’t involve more people in this. Adrian’s safety—"

Isaac cut him off with a gentle smile, placing a hand on Lucas’s shoulder. "Lucas, Luri is already involved. She’s been helping me in secret ever since Adrian returned to our family. Trust me, I’ll make sure this doesn’t spiral out of control. And I’ll keep everyone safe. Including you."

Lucas’s cheeks flushed slightly at the affectionate tone. "Fine," he mumbled, looking away to hide his embarrassment. "But focus on solving this mystery, not... flirting."

Isaac chuckled and leaned in closer. "I’m quite capable of doing both."

Lucas waved him off with a huff, muttering under his breath as Isaac walked away, still grinning.
