Showbiz 28-Lux Virus

Erica's question made Heidi and Serena stare at her sharply. They felt that the secretary of the Emerald Group would cause trouble if she spoke carelessly about Lux Osiris. They decided to keep quiet and hurriedly finished punishing Lux so they could leave immediately.

"It's done! The King is waiting for us!" Serena shouted in annoyance, making a mess of her elegant appearance.

An annoyed Heidi grabbed Serena's hand and led her out of the room, after handing the stack of leaflets to Mandy, alphabetically. Zoc stared at his employer's two daughters in silence as he left the room.

"Are you alright, Grandma?" asked Erica anxiously as she looked glum as she picked up one of the leaflets.

"The paper got all crumpled and dirty. It's a pity," she replied sadly.

"That's fine. What we need is the data from the form filler," Erica replied and put the papers into a special bag.

"Why don't we take installments to input all the data from those leaflets into the laptop? Our work has already been done by young Master Lux's men. Instead of staying here waiting until the event is over?" Mandy suggested.

"Yes, you're right, Gran. Good idea!" exclaimed Erica who was nodded by Mandy.

"You can leave us both here. There's no distraction. We'll be fine. Young Master Lux requires you more," Mandy said, and Zoc nodded.

Erica gave her cell phone to scan Lux's fans for entry into the club. Sure enough, when the big man came out of the room, he was surprised that the queue was longer than before. In fact, it was not yet 3 o'clock, but the enthusiasm of the Lux fans made the surrounding area crowded.

Bon tried to give an understanding to Lux's fans to be patient. Lux gave a briefing to Tedo, Rowi and Marbella before the registration was reopened. Zoc came to Marbella to give her Erica's cell phone. The manager readily accepted and adapted to it.

"We understand," said Rowi and Tedo firmly.

"Alright! Let's get to work!" exclaimed Lux excitedly.

Marbella was responsible for scanning the barcode using Erica's mobile phone. Meanwhile, Rowi was in charge of handing out the leaflets after the barcode scan. Later, the leaflets filled in by the fans are given to Tedo. The butler at Osiris' residence was in charge of checking the contents of the forms from Lux's fans who had joined the group, which were then given to Erica.

"You came just in time, Zoc!" Lux exclaimed happily and then invited the big man to his position to do security during the photo session.

Bon, on the other hand, was still asked to do the organization because of the overwhelming number of fans. Secretly, Leon as the deputy director of the Emerald Group was monitoring at a distance. He received news from his daughter who was visiting the mall that day. The girl admitted that she joined Lux's fan group in the first registration session. Leon who was curious, intended to confirm it.

"The idea really worked. But why did he do it all of a sudden without telling Emerald about it first? Besides, Erica and Mandy are also involved," he muttered in surprise.

"If you look at what Lux did, he did not violate the contract."

"You're here?" asked Leon squealing as he saw Rona suddenly already next to him. Holding a glass of cold drink and wearing sunglasses.

"The news that Lux was recruiting fans to enter the Luxiuz club spread like a virus. Mr. Arco gave me an order," Rona replied which made Leon's eyes widen.

"What is it?"

"We have to support him," Rona replied which made Leon stunned. "So... come on, let's join forces. Why do we have to peek like this? It's really not cool," Rona replied as she walked away from Leon.

"Cool? What is it?" asked Leon confusedly as he followed Rona.

"Lux's strange language has spread across the country in just a few hours. It's cool, OK, and who knows what else later, but we have to adapt. Hurry up, Leon!" shouted Rona, who had to break through the crowd to get closer.

"Hey, Miss! You have to line up like everyone else!" a fan shouted, feeling cheated.

"I'm ...."

"You too, uncle! Why do you barge in like that? You're adults, you should set a good example for the young!" said another fan.

"W-we ...."

"Go back there! Get out of the way! Move!"

There was almost an immediate riot. Lux, who had just taken a picture with one of his new fans, was confused. Zoc and Bon quickly made their way to where the commotion seemed to be coming from. Gian quickly grabbed the microphone and tried to bring order to the chaos.

"Hello Luxiuz!" shouted Lux as he waved his hand. Erica and Mandy, hearing Lux's voice over the loudspeaker, rushed out of the room.

"Oh, that's...," gasped Erica as she saw Rona and Leon being pushed around by Lux's fans.

"Erica, help them," Mandy pleaded to which her granddaughter nodded.

"Lux!" called Rona in panic as her glasses were knocked off and stepped on.

"Rona? Mr. Leon?" asked Gian to make sure because his fans surrounded the two people. "Hello, Luxiuz! Sorry for the commotion. However, that lady and gentleman over there are representatives of the Emerald Group. Please, don't hurt them."

Like an order from the King, the Lux fans released Rona and Leon. Zoc and Bon finally managed to bring the two people to the tavern. Erica and Mandy swiftly took them into the VIP room.

"They were cutting in line, Lux!" exclaimed one fan not wanting to take the blame.

"Yes, they were naughty. So, just think of what they experienced just now as an introduction gift from the Luxiuz," Lux replied which made his fans cheer happily.

In the VIP room.

"He's favoring his fans! Outrageous!" shouted Rona irritated because her glasses were broken by being stepped on by one of Lux's fans.

"Please forgive them, Miss Rona, Mr. Leon. Only, you can't just blame them. You broke through the queue," said Mandy which made Rona's face sour instantly.

"We intended to meet Lux's men, but they misunderstood and ganged up on us instead," Leon grumbled as his clothes became tattered and almost torn.

"It was fun though, wasn't it?" asked Lux, suddenly appearing from the doorway.

"I demand compensation!" Rona shrieked in annoyance as she showed off her favorite glasses, now in pieces.

"Of course. To start with, please order whatever you like from the menu in this shop. The rest, after the event. Sorry, I have to get back to work. Hope you all have a good time," Lux said in his characteristic 'OK' style before saying goodbye.

Erica and Mandy smiled, but not Leon and Rona.

"Why didn't you tell us about this? Mr. Arco had to assign us," Rona replied irritably as she smoothed her hair with her fingers.

Erica looked confused in her answer. As she opened her mouth, her grandmother suddenly spoke up.

"That... is one of the ideas that should be implemented immediately. That's because young master Lux has to keep his promise to gather 1000 fans," Mandy replied, causing Erica to glare at her. "That's fine. You two have the right to know. Young Master Lux is working with the Emerald Group. They will help and support for the sake of mutual interests," Mandy added, causing Rona and Leon to look at each other in silence.

"Yes, you are right, madam. It's just that the method Lux uses is very different from the one used by everyone else in this country, or even on the whole planet Luna. I don't know where he got this idea from, because it's so surprising," Rona said, and the others nodded in agreement.

"Can... the depression that made him confine himself for three days, make such a drastic change? If true, that's really great. It's just that I'm suspicious. Could it be that... there are other people whom we never expected, exerting influence on Lux so that he changed like that?" asked Leon which made Rona and the others make serious faces instantly.
