Showbiz 15-He's Changed

Gian rushed into the meeting room accompanied by Erica. This time, Yoga chose to wait outside the meeting room. The bespectacled man looked anxious because he was worried that his young master would fail.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Lux Osiris," Rona requested to which Lux nodded with a smile. Erica stared at the company officials with a tense face.

"We have already discussed your offer about the fan meet activity," said Eros seriously. Lux silently listened with a flat face. "We agree." Instantly, Lux's smile grew, but then faded as Eros' index finger was pointed out. "With conditions that will be updated in the contract."

"Alright, what is it?" asked Lux curiously.

"You have to get involved, Mr. Lux. As compensation for you shirking your duty. You, who will take care of the fan meeting event," said Eros which made Gian think hard, but smiled then.

"Fine. However, I will work behind the scenes. It will be very strange when people find out that a Lux Osiris is doing menial work. It will ruin the image of both of us," he emphasized which made Eros stare at the meeting participants of his company intently.

"Therefore, we wanted to involve you. This was your idea. So, you have to participate as an organizer until the event is completed and deemed a success. Besides, this is the first time such an event has been held. So, we have to make sure that the results are what we expect," said Beau.

Gian paused for a moment thinking about the words of the people in front of him. "What are the requirements to prove success? Is ... there certain criteria that show if the event is not a failure?"

"Yes. We've outlined them on this digital sheet. Please read it," Rona replied as she handed over a tablet.

Gian read carefully. He was quite surprised because the things he was going to do were quite a lot. However, this was the consequence he had to accept because Lux Osiris was considered negligent in carrying out the contractual obligations.

"I accept, but with one condition as well," Lux said which made those people's brows furrowed.

"We'll consider it," Leon said, causing Lux to exhale quietly.

"A job like this requires a lot of field workers. I need a team to do it."

"Oh, about that, no problem. We'll provide it," Rona replied to which Lux returned a smile.

"Moreover, I would like Miss Erica to be involved. I feel that she is very suitable for this kind of task. Miss Erica will be the liaison between me and the Emerald Group," Lux pleaded which made Erica's eyes widen instantly.

"Alright. At least, she won't receive a salary for free. I'll allow it," Leon replied which made Erica look happy, despite being insinuated.

"We will send you a revised contract with the points we have agreed upon. This time, don't screw up, Mr. Lux, or we won't give you a second chance," said Cyrus.

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for the opportunity. I will endeavor to fulfill my obligations according to the contract. It's a pleasure doing business with the Emerald Group," Lux said and then stood up and invited a handshake. The people also stood up and returned Lux's handshake. "Oh, Erica! Please take a picture of us. It will be great to be published in the news and inform the public that Lux Osiris and the Emerald Group will hold a fan meeting."

"Hem, good idea. Do it, Erica," Alma pleaded which was swiftly done by the secretary.

Rona stared at Lux's figure who looked so charming as he showed a smile and remained calm without being intimidated when cornered. In fact, the purple-haired man was able to give fresh ideas. Rona and the others really hoped, if the fan meeting event would run successfully.

During the return trip to Osiris' residence. Imperium City.

[Good job, Gian. You made good use of the Buff]

"Thank you," Gian replied with a smile.

"Ah, I have done nothing, Young master. No need to thank me. It's my duty to make sure you're fine," Yoga replied as he drove off, but his words left Gian speechless.

'Heh! He misunderstood.' Gian chuckled amused as Yoga seemed happy to be praised.

Upon arriving home, Gian was surprised when suddenly everyone gathered like a party. He was greeted and congratulated for being successful. Gian wondered, was it Yoga who told him? Until Lux's eyes found Marbella who participated in the crowd, even though she had to sit in a wheelchair.

"You did great, Young Master Lux! I already heard the result from Miss Rona!" Marbella exclaimed happily.

"Hem, good job, Lux. Apparently, you have abilities other than painting and that handsome face of yours," said a woman whose figure appeared from the crowd.

The festive atmosphere instantly became quiet as a woman with back-length black hair, wearing a black dress and high heels of the same color, waltzed up to Lux while carrying a crystal glass filled with wine.

'Oh!' Gian screamed in his heart as suddenly Lux's memory told him the figure of that beautiful slender woman.

"Thank you for your praise, Sister," Lux said with his heart pounding.

The beautiful woman extended her right hand as if asking to be greeted. Gian was confused because he had never had a girlfriend before. Moreover, he had also never done a romantic scene with a woman before. Lux greeted the hand hesitantly, but the woman named Heidi raised her two eyebrows as if hinting at something.

"What?"

PRANG!

Lux and the others were stunned. Heidi suddenly slammed the glass which made the glass shards scattered on the floor. Not quite there, a strong slap flew and made Lux's smooth right cheek red. Gian who didn't expect it, was taken aback and stared at Heidi sharply.

"Huh! Just because you've become smarter and more outspoken, did you forget your manners when you met me? That slap should have made you remember," Heidi said with bulging eyes.

"Yes, I forgot, and your slap didn't make me remember what to do," Lux replied firmly which made Heidi fling her hand again. This time, Gian saw it. Immediately, Lux caught his sister's hand. Practically, everyone was shocked including Heidi herself. "You like to play rough, huh? It's unfortunate. For a woman as beautiful and graceful as you are, the way you solve problems by being violent, I can't tolerate it," Lux said as he released his sister's hand by pushing her.

Heidi was blown away and fell on the floor, not expecting this. Everyone was shocked, but at a loss for action. Just as Yoga was about to help his young lady, footsteps were heard entering the room.

"What happened?" asked a big-voiced man Gian recognized.

"Father! Lux treats me so harshly! He's changed!" Heidi exclaimed as she came up to her father and hugged him. Everyone was silent, not daring to speak. However, Lux laughed until his head looked up.

"What's so funny, you were rude to your sister, and you don't regret it?" asked Maximo, glaring.

"Wow! I thought I was the only one who had the talent of being an actor, but it turns out that you're too, Sister. This room should have CCTV installed, so that you know, Father, who is the crazy one in this house!" shouted Lux glaring back at Maximo.

Everyone was stunned that Lux dared to yell at his father.

"Perhaps this is the reason our relationship is not going well, Father. You, can't tell the difference between honesty and lies. Or, you don't care too much because to you, I don't matter," Lux added then turned to leave the crowd.

Maximo was silent staring at his son's departure. As for Heidi, she chuckled in annoyance because she didn't expect Lux to dare to resist.

"It seems that Young master Lux won't be joining the dinner. I will deliver the food to his room. Excuse me," Tedo said goodbye.

"Father! Lux is so arrogant! Just because the contract wasn't canceled, and he came up with a new idea for the Emerald Group, he's being a big head. You should give him a punishment," Heidi whined.

Maximo gave his daughter a sharp look, but it frightened Heidi. The beautiful woman let go of his embrace because she could see that her father was angry silently. Heidi who was upset at being ignored by her father and opposed by Lux, chose to leave and returned to the room.

"Marbella, come with me. I have something to talk about Lux's meeting with the Emerald Group," Maximo pleaded to which Marbella nodded.

Two bodyguards for Maximo and Marbella followed behind. Marbella, who was still recovering, used an electric wheelchair to get to the elevator. They went to the second floor, where Maximo's study was located.

"Did you see that earlier? Young master Lux dared to fight Miss Heidi," a female servant whispered.

"Yes, that's right. Seeing that, I was so happy that finally young master Lux didn't keep quiet when he was always blamed all this time. Now, he can protect himself!" exclaimed Rowi who was nodded by the other maids.

When Lux was opening the door of his room, suddenly, TING! TING! TING!

Lux turned his head. The notification sound of one of his missions rang out. His heart was beating fast when the sound didn't stop.

"Z?" called Lux nervously as he stepped into the room and closed the door with a tense face.

[Congratulations, Gian. One more person left to complete your first mission]

"What happened? Why all of a sudden?" asked Gian confused because he thought, his behavior just now caused disaster.

[Erica managed to gather the fans of Lux Osiris. She told them good things about you, including that a fan meeting will be held. Moreover, the servants at home started to recognize you as one of the crown princes of Osiris because of your actions just now]

"Wow! Wow! This is really great! Just one more! Just wait, Justin! Big Brother is going to give you an amazing gift!" he exclaimed happily and jumped onto the bed.

"Young master Lux? Are you alright? Who's Justin?"

Instantly, Lux froze. He didn't expect, if anyone heard his words just now.
