After Jayvaughn and Lucian wrapped up the discussion about their upcoming mission, Lucian leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips.
"After the dinner party and the mission," Lucian began casually, "can I meet Axel? I just want to meet the person who managed to make a hard man like you fold."
Jayvaughn raised an eyebrow.
Lucian chuckled. "I mean, I've seen him on screen, obviously. He's cute, but I never really paid attention. He always seems timid—especially when he's performing with you. Honestly, I just can't wrap my head around the idea that someone like that could be such a skilled hacker. So, yeah, can I meet him?"
Jayvaughn stared at him for a moment before responding, his voice dipping into something quieter—almost crestfallen.
"Axel won't be going with me to the dinner party."
