Showbiz 11-Buff?

During the trip, Gian looked serious as he read in detail all the files about the contents of the contract agreement. Honestly, this was the first time the man was depressed because of thinking about the fate of others. He felt guilty about the people who were Lux's employees if those contracts were terminated. What would happen to them if the company went bankrupt and those people were displaced?

"Damn!" he muttered as he closed his eyes, his head suddenly feeling heavy.

[Need help?]

Gian gasped. Z spoke to him and offered to help? Gian looked at Yoga who was still focused on driving to the meeting place.

'I really need your help, Z. Lux Osiris will run out. He could go bankrupt. I'm not very good at business. Lux could be embarrassed by many people. He is a public figure and famous,' Gian answered honestly with his weakness.

Gian thought it was better to educate 100 talentless people than to deal with contracts. He was deliberately calm in front of Marbella and Maximo in order to be trusted. He admitted that his acting skills were impressive, but now, it was a disaster when he had to prove it.

[Since you're pressed for time, I'll keep it short. This is called Buff. Gives the effect of enhancing abilities]

'I'm listening,' said Gian, who pretended to look at the tablet so that Yoga would not suspect his gesture.

[Buff level 1. Gives +10% effect on understanding business knowledge. Effective duration 3 hours]

"Good!" he exclaimed with a beaming face.

"Yes, Young master?" asked Yoga confused, but Lux shook his head with a smile and did not answer. Gian returned his focus to Marbella's tablet.

'What should I do to get that Buff?' asked Gian silently with his heart pounding.

For him, dealing with the Showbiz system is a barter system between them. There was no way Z would give it for free.

[Your guess is right. All this time, Lux Osiris almost never dealt directly with the clients. Marbella took care of everything. Lux was like a money-making puppet for the Osiris family. Lux simply signed the contract and carried out all the contents of the agreement. Without ever questioning or disputing the contents of the contract. Your job is to find irregularities in the contract to use as a weapon to negotiate with the clients so that they don't cancel the contract. In this case, you have a chance because the clients give you the opportunity to defend]

'How much time do you give me to find that loophole?' asked Gian as he closely examined the contents of the contract.

[The sooner, the better. The meeting will start in 30 minutes. Your time is limited, Gian]

Gian was serious for an instant. His eyes were busy reading one by one the contents of the contract article. His index finger began to move and do some scribbles on the sentences that felt odd to him. As Gian was focusing on exploring the contents of the contract once again, the car suddenly stopped.

"Young master, we have arrived."

Gian's eyes widened. His heart was beating fast. His body seemed to freeze as he looked at the skyscraper that seemed ready to throw him off the top of the tower if it failed. Gian gulped.

"Young master Lux? Are you alright?" Yoga asked to make sure.

"Yes, yes, I... mm, Yoga. Can you accompany me to the entrance of the meeting room? To make sure that no one will harm or hinder me until I get there," Lux asked with a forced smile.

"Of course, Young master. Let's go," invited Yoga which made Gian breathe a sigh of relief.

As Yoga opened the door for him, Gian's forefinger made a final scribble on the tablet screen of the digital contract sheet.

BIB!

[Congratulations, Gian Everest. You get a level 1 buff of business knowledge. The ability to learn business knowledge will increase by 10% for 3 hours. Good luck]

"Yeah!" he exclaimed happily as he stepped out of the car. "What a great time! Wow, I've never had this much fun before! I'm challenged!" he added, causing Yoga to frown.

Lux walked steadily towards the elevator while carrying a tablet, carrying nothing else. Yoga followed his young master who was busy reading something on the tablet screen as the elevator took them up to the 10th floor.

"Young master," Yoga called out as the elevator doors opened and brought them to their destination.

"Okay!" replied Lux firmly as he stepped out.

'Great! That buff really works! I can understand business knowledge quickly, as if I had studied it for a long time!' he screamed inwardly with burning enthusiasm.

As Lux was walking in the corridor while reading articles about business knowledge to deepen his knowledge, there was a man walking towards him with a frown on his forehead.

Yoga, who recognized the man, immediately stopped walking and bowed. "Mr. Leon!"

Instantly, Lux's steps stopped. Leon's name slightly disturbed his heart. Yes, the same name as one of the aspiring actors he was mentoring at the time and that man, betrayed him. However, the man named Leon who stood proudly in front of him was around 40 years old. He had an army-like haircut and looked powerful.

"It turns out that you did come alone, Mr. Lux Osiris," said the man named Leon looking at Lux sharply.

Lux was silent because he felt that the man knew him. 'Damn, Lux's memory didn't tell me anything about this man. What did Lux do during his life? Really not observant,' Gian grumbled as he had 0 information about his client.

"Hello, Mr. Leon. You look dashing as usual. Nice to meet you," Lux greeted as he extended his hand to shake.

The eyes of the man named Leon narrowed. He did not welcome the handshake and only glanced at it.

"You became friendly because you were under pressure, Mr. Lux. I can understand that. However, there's no point in you being polite like this. It's too late," said the man who was completely unlike Leon as in Lux's previous life. This man, was more similar to Maximo Osiris, but his aura was not as fierce as that of the mayor.

Lux smiled as he pulled his hand again. Gian knew he was in trouble because this man in front of him seemed to hate him.

"Yes, you are right. I do not blame you if that is the assessment of the Lux Osiris. However, Lux Osiris was earnest and hardworking in his work. He had a commitment to take responsibility for his mistake which was considered incompetent in carrying out the contents of the contract. That's why, I came here to straighten out this misunderstanding," Lux replied which made Leon stare at him intently.

"You're talking as if, you're not the one who signed the contract, Mr. Lux Osiris. Are you playing us?" Leon asked angrily.

Yoga gulped. He panicked, but seeing his young master remain calm, the man with glasses tried to control his fear.

Lux smiled. "Therefore, please give me a chance to explain to all of you. If it is felt that what I said is only detrimental to the company, I accept the consequences," Lux answered firmly.

Leon's eyes narrowed. "Maximo Osiris is not helping you this time, Lux. You are on your own. Even your driver can only take you to the door of the meeting room!" Leon said, glaring at Yoga.

"I'm the one with the signature, why bring Yoga to the meeting? He just wanted to make sure I came to the right location and met the people according to the meeting invitation. Is that right, Yoga?" asked Lux turning his head, which was immediately answered with a quick nod from the man wearing glasses.

"Oh, right on time! The news that you came without Marbella is true. You are quite manly, Mr. Lux," greeted a beautiful woman in a sexy office outfit. Showing her long and smooth legs as she was wearing a skirt above the knee. Lux's eyes seemed hypnotized seeing those big breasts even though they were covered by the shirt and suit.

'Damn! Who is this sexy woman?' asked Gian screeching inwardly as Lux's memory did not give him any more information.

"Heh, your dream came true to meet Lux in person, Rona," said Leon which made Gian breathe a sigh of relief.

"I can finally meet the beautiful Miss Rona. Nice to meet you," Gian said as he invited to shake hands, but the woman with long blonde hair instead put both hands on Lux's shoulders then pressed her body closer. Gian could smell Rona's perfume which made his heart beat faster.

"I don't like shaking hands," she whispered which made Lux nod slowly with his eyes downcast.

Intending to look away because Rona was staring at him intently, but his eyeballs instead landed on Rona's bulging cleavage. Gian tried hard to control his attraction.

"It turns out you're here. Mr. Director is waiting. Hurry up!" called a mustachioed man in the distance which made Rona let go of his touch with a lazy face.

"Come with us, Mr. Lux," Rona invited which Lux nodded.

Gian stepped out with his heart pounding. He really hoped that the Buff that Z had promised would actually help him. Gian turned around and found Yoga looking worried. The bespectacled man gave two thumbs up in encouragement for his young master to successfully solve the problem.

'Can that damn thumb help me in there? I don't know why I want to jump from the 10th floor of this building. Is it okay, Z?' asked Gian whining as his nerves shrank instantly.

[Remember my words about Gian Everest. If you fail, you are no different from Marcos Everest]

Instantly, Lux's eyes widened. His breath was ragged. He who hated his father so much, did not want to be compared to him. Z's words made his spirit flare up like an ember doused in oil.

"I'm not Marcos Everest the man who failed!" he grumbled, causing Leon and Rona, who were walking in front of him, to turn their heads.
