Showbiz 7-Buried Hatred

Gian really enjoyed his role in Lux's body. What happened to him today was like a dream. Although it was not as smooth as expected, he was happy. When he arrived at the luxurious castle-like house, he was welcomed joyfully by the servants. It was a perfect life.

"This is how my life should be," Gian said as he closed his eyes on Lux's big bed.

[Don't get carried away, Gian. Lux Osiris who lived a perfect life as you expected, was not felt by him. His life was full of pressure and hatred. His heart was good because he did not want to blame. Therefore, he chose to be silent and alone. Holding all the disappointment, sadness and anger alone]

Z's words stung Gian. He felt like he was knocked down.

"You're right. I'm sorry, Lux. I didn't realize your suffering. Why don't you tell me your story? I want to know it," Gian murmured.

However, no memories came to mind. Gian was confused. Whereas before, some memories appeared suddenly and it surprised him. It was as if he was there and could feel the pain.

[Trauma]

"Ah, I understand now. That memory will only appear when I feel like being tormented. Or... things related to Lux's past. Is ... this some kind of déjà vu?" asked Gian guessing while sitting slowly on the bed.

For some reason, Gian's heart felt like helping Lux. He felt grateful, because Lux's figure brought a big change in him. Moreover, he also liked Lux's perfect physique.

"Z?"

[Yes?]

"Will... of all the missions I'll be running later, will there be an end?"

[What do you think? What are you worried about?]

"Will... in the end, I will die with Lux Osiris' body?"

[All living beings will definitely die. However, I am not God. So, I don't know when you die. My job is for you to stay in the system. Carry out the assigned missions. In return, you will be given rewards. If you fail, you will receive the consequences. Isn't that easy? Why are you making it difficult?]

Gian chuckled in annoyance. He seemed to get boring advice that made him remember one of his math teachers in high school. According to him, his teacher gave more advice than teaching math.

"I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me!" replied Gian annoyed who immediately hugged the pillow.

[You forgot something important in Lux Osiris' routine]

Instantly, Gian's eyes opened. He was still hugging the pillow and laying down. However, he was ready to listen to Z's words.

[Before sleeping, Lux Osiris always cleans his body. He is a man who likes cleanliness. Unlike you. Your old habits on Earth, could ruin Lux's perfect physique]

Immediately, Gian got up and jumped off the bed. Lux's memory suddenly appeared and brought Gian to the room where the athletic man kept all his clothes' collection.

"Ah, here it is," he said when he found a cell phone inside a drawer.

Before going to bed, Lux always checked all incoming messages on his cell phone while doing body care before going to sleep. Gian who saw that the cell phone was turned off, immediately activated it.

PING! PING! PING! PING!

"Wow!"

Gian gasped. Many messages came in on his cell phone. In fact, an activity schedule alert popped up without pause, causing him to put the phone down gently on the table.

"He's really busy," he muttered as he stared at the screen.

Until suddenly, a call came in. Marbella's name was written there. Gian, who was curious, accepted the call by raising his voice.

"Yes?"

"Young master, Lux. I'm sorry if I disturbed your rest. However, I am glad that you are willing to accept my phone call."

However, Gian made a lazy face hearing Marbella's words just now. His heart was upset because according to him, Marbella was one of the people who made Lux depressed.

"What's wrong? Let's get straight to the point. There's no need for pleasantries," Gian replied gruffly.

"Alright," Marbella replied lowering her tone of voice to a lackluster one. Gian folded two hands in front of his stomach, waiting for information from Lux's manager. "The great lord, I mean, your father, Maximo Osiris wants to meet tomorrow morning at his office."

Gian's heart beat fast when the name of Lux's father was mentioned. However, he was curious about his figure. Lux's memory, this time seemed to close tightly about his father, unlike before.

"Okay, I'll be there," Gian answered calmly and then hung up the phone call. "Hem, it seems... Lux's relationship with his father is not so good," he muttered appraising. However, instantly, his memory of Marcos Everest surfaced. His hatred came back and made Gian's breath catch. When Gian wanted to take Lux's cell phone because the notification had stopped, Marbella called him again. Gian grimaced in annoyance, but he accepted the call again. "What else do you want?!"

"Sorry, Young master Lux. It's just that I haven't finished talking yet. You've already hung up."

Gian realized what he had done. He exhaled slowly. "Okay. Talk," he replied lazily.

"Sorry in advance if it sounds unpleasant. Because you were deemed to have neglected your contract with some products, they decided not to renew the contract unilaterally."

Instantly, Gian's brow furrowed. "What do you mean, the parties I was working with terminated the contract? Is that so?"

"Yes, you could say that. I have tried to give them some understanding. They will take that into consideration, but you are required to give them a detailed explanation, Young master. Honestly, this is the first time this has happened. I did what I could, but-"

"This is my fault. I will take responsibility. Alright, tomorrow morning you come here and see me. Let's talk about this in more detail. I don't want to be a fool who makes the same mistake a second time."

"Good thinking, Young master. Well, I think that's enough information for today. Have a ni-"

"Eh? What's wrong with me? Why did I turn off the phone again? Ah, never mind," Gian complained as his index finger seemed to move on its own to disconnect the call.

Gian returned to the bed as he lay down. He who was curious about the contents of Lux's cell phone, opened all the messages which turned out to contain schedules, links to a website that contained news about him, bills, offers to subscribe to a product, and so on. Gian who felt that the messages were endless, chose to open the photo menu. However, there was only one picture there? Gian was dumbfounded because for an actor with the best-looking face in Luna's world, Lux only kept one picture. In fact, there was no photo of him.

"Who is this woman? Beautiful," Gian murmured as he stared intently at a photo of a woman with long brown hair, sitting with a grace that made her look charming. However, no memory of that woman appeared in his mind. "You really are full of mystery Lux. You still keep a lot of things secret from me. Okay, no problem. I'll find out myself," muttered Gian who then chose silent mode so that the sound of notifications from the cellphone did not disturb his sleep.

[Gian, you forgot. Bedtime body care]

"Shit!" screeched Gian who got back up and went to the bathroom.

He really couldn't get over Lux's body care routine. Before going to bed, he had to brush his teeth, rinse his mouth with a refreshing solution and floss to make sure there was no food residue in the gaps of his neat white teeth. Afterward, he washes his face with warm water, cleanses it with face soap, and then dries it with a disposable towel. He applies a special moisturizing cream at night to keep his face from getting dull. His hair was also combed and then given a special oil to keep it fragrant, shiny, tangle-free, and thick. Gian also applied cream all over Lux's body to keep it moisturized by massaging it gently.

"Crazy! It took me almost two hours to do this treatment! What a hassle!" screeched Gian annoyed as he felt tired of the routine.

[Being tired with a fresh body, you will sleep well]

Just as he was about to get out of the bathroom, he suddenly changed his clothes into a white fluffy top.

"Oh, is that the reason Lux's pen*s became big? He sleeps without wearing underwear. He also wears comfortable, clean, and slightly loose clothes. Well, I must not forget this important thing," said Gian steadily who then walked gallantly to the bed.

[Good. Today you successfully performed the important routine of Lux Osiris. You will continue to do so to maintain Lux's physical appearance. Good night, Gian]

Gian chuckled, but Z's words were true. Just as he was about to close his eyes, Z suddenly spoke again.

[Tomorrow is the second day. Don't forget, you have a mission to complete]

"Shut up!" Gian shouted, annoyed to the point of throwing his pillow all over the place. "Watch out if you talk again!" he threatened while pointing as if Z was in front of him.

Gian laid his body down and this time tried to get rid of all the bad thoughts to fall asleep. "Good night mom, Justin, Rin. We'll be fine," he said as he closed his eyes and finally, fell fast asleep.

However, without Gian's knowledge, there was a figure watching him from behind the door. That person left after not hearing the conversation in Lux's room. However, that figure was also unaware that Tedo was watching him from behind the wall of the corridor intersection.

"What are you planning to do to Young master Lux?" muttered Tedo suspiciously.
