I think I'll pass.
What do the CEO's eyes say? Why is he flirting with a fling when he doesn't seem to be sexually threatening at all?

Always happy to answer a question about the ol’ Salad. Here goes:

===

He is happy with where he is. He’s a pedophile, but in control of himself. He flirts with people to feel bouts of normalcy. He doesn’t have a sex life. Occasionally, he might have a shot of whiskey and get sentimental alone at his kitchen window.

He’s an entrepreneur because his parents kicked him out when they discovered for what he was seeking psychiatric help. He’s built his life with his own hands.

And he wants to help people with similar—but solvable—frustrations.

He reads Natsukawa Minori instantly and takes him under his wing.

Of course, a more reasonable (and more obvious) answer would be simply that the CEO isn’t “maybe” gay.
