Gian was silent in shock. However, he realized that his phone call had been connected.
"I'm in one of the changing rooms at the Magenta boutique," he answered and disconnected the call. Gian's eyes then shifted to the man who was still staring at him intently from the top of the booth. "Do you know me?" Lux asked to make sure.
"I don't know. I'm not really sure. But, I can help you out of this room. Please step back and protect your handsome face from getting scuffed," he pleaded, making Gian think that the man was going to break in.
"No! No! Wait! I think... the door can be opened," he said, pulling the latch.
"Oh!" surprised the people who had gathered in the boutique. Their faces lit up as they saw the figure of Lux Osiris emerge from the doorway.
"Young master. Are you alright?" asked Bon anxiously. Lux nodded in response. His eyes then turned to the man who wanted to help him earlier.
'His style is unique. He doesn't look like a handyman,' Gian thought because the man's appearance was not like a boutique clerk.
"Hey. What's your name?"
"Devan," the man replied briefly.
Gian looked around and found a paper on the counter. He picked up the paper and a pen. People's foreheads wrinkled when they saw that handsome man seemed to be doing something.
"This is for you for being kind enough to help me," Lux said as he gave the paper.
"Wow! This is me? It really looks like me!" Devan exclaimed with a beaming face. His eyes then moved down when he saw the sentence and read it. "I love you, Lux."
DING!

Gian's smile brightened. "I love you too, Devan! Bye!" Lux shouted as he waved and walked away.
The boutique, which had been quiet, was suddenly filled with visitors. However, the number of people who wanted to see Lux in person made it impossible for the idol to get out easily. Bon and Zoc tried to clear the way, but Lux's fans made it difficult for them to leave the shop.
"We're trapped, Young master!" cried Bon desperately, protecting Lux from the savage hands of his fans.
Gian paused for a moment trying to think about it. Suddenly, Lux held one of the hands of the young lady who wanted to grab his body. The woman was stunned because the idol smiled sweetly at her. Bon and Zoc were confused, including the workers at Magenta's boutique.
"Hi, what's your name?" asked Lux politely which made the other fans fall silent.
"Mm, Mala," the woman replied embarrassed.
"Mala, please let me pass. My friends are waiting for me. I don't want them to wait for me too long. We can meet another time. You don't mind, do you?"
"Yes, of course," Mala replied, shifting her steps.
Zoc and Bon were confused. Lux then touched another woman as he walked up to them saying, "Let me pass."
Like a miracle, the shop that was crowded and almost unable to be passed by Lux, was now relieved. The women shifted their bodies and let Lux pass with his two bodyguards. Devan was stunned to see Lux could walk freely as if there was an empty corridor reserved for him.
"Thank you all. See you soon," Lux said, waving as he made his way out of the boutique.
The fans waved back. They no longer chased after him and just stared at the idol who was walking away from the boutique.
"What's going on? Why... are they hypnotized just by your words?" asked Bon in surprise.
"Lux Osiris' charm," Lux replied calmly.
Bon and Zoc stared at each other in silence. They were still astonished by the incident just now. The two big men had to hold back the bodies of Lux's fans who were eager to touch him. They sacrificed their bodies which were hit by the scratches, punches and strong pushes of those women because they were not allowed to break through.
Zoc and Bon were amazed again when Lux met another fan while passing by, and he invited her to shake hands. Those fans who were originally so hysterical upon meeting him, suddenly became calm and friendly. They let Lux pass by without being promised anything or being violent.
"It's Lux!" exclaimed one of the Luxiuz who had been waiting at the restaurant from Zoc's companion.
"Hey! Sorry to keep you guys waiting. I got lost earlier. Hahaha!" replied Lux casually as he walked into the restaurant where some of his fans were still standing because they couldn't get a seat.
"Young master, how is it?" asked Marbella as she approached.
Gian looked around. There were many diners in the restaurant. Actually, some of them had finished eating, but chose to relax by chatting with their friends. Lux smiled in response, but Marbella still looked anxious because the Luxiuz who had not gotten a seat started to look annoyed.
"Hello, sorry. I want to use these chairs and tables for my friends. Do you guys mind to leave here soon?" asked Lux politely as he touched the shoulders of five people in turn who were busy chatting.
"Yes, of course. Please, we're done and leaving soon," replied the black-haired man who was immediately followed by his companions to stand up.
"Waiter! Please clear this table!" exclaimed Lux which made one of the servants immediately approach him.
"Young master?" asked Marbella astonished because Lux easily drove away five visitors without having to make a scene.
"Give this seat to the Luxiuz who haven't sat down yet," he pleaded to which Marbella nodded.
Erica, Mandy, and the rest of the Lux Osiris were amazed. Their young master easily asked the few people who had finished enjoying the meal to leave immediately. In no time at all, the Luxiuz who had not yet gotten a seat began to crowd the restaurant area.
"How did you do that?" asked Rona in amazement, as she had tried the same thing before and failed.
"Lux Osiris' charm?" Lux replied casually as he sat down. Leon stared intently at Lux, who seemed relaxed as he asked the people to leave. "Order whatever you want. Don't be shy," Lux said, causing his fans to cheer happily.
Before long, a male waiter approached Lux's table which was occupied by Erica, Mandy, Leon, and Rona. While Tedo, Rowi, Zoc and Bon were at the other table, adjacent to Lux's table.
"Don't say that the menus written in this book have all been sold out," Lux said looking at the waitress sharply.
"Don't worry, Young master Lux. When Zoc told us he wanted to use this place for a special occasion, we immediately sent for the ingredients. It's just that it will take some time to prepare. I hope you and the other guests will be patient," the waiter replied kindly.
"How long will it take you to serve our order?" asked Lux seriously.
"About 30 minutes for each food order and 15 minutes for each drink order," the man replied, making Lux pause for a moment.
Lux nodded in understanding, but his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. Until he saw a small stage with some musical instruments there.
"Meet me after all my guests have finished their orders."
"Yes, Young master," the male waiter replied as he held up a tablet to record the order.
"Then, are the musical instruments on that stage working?" asked Lux as he glanced at the stage.
"Yes, Young master. Would you like to use it? If so, we will prepare it."
"Good. Prepare it," Lux pleaded which was immediately nodded by the male servant.
Erica and the others were again puzzled as Lux did many unexpected things.
"Young master, the stage is ready, and your guests have finished their orders. It's just you and your colleagues at these two tables who haven't made reservations yet," the waiter replied after contacting his team using the radio.
"I ordered the best menu in this restaurant. Make sure it's delicious and doesn't kill me," Lux said which received a smile from the male waiter.
"We assure you that you will come here again, Young master Lux," replied the male waiter as he recorded the order of his special guest.
Suddenly, Lux stood up which made Tedo and the others confused.
"Where are you going, Young master?" asked Rowi curiously.
"Just take a look. I think it's good while waiting for the order to come," he replied as he straightened his clothes and walked towards the stage.
"What's he going to do?" asked Rona curiously, which was answered with shaking heads from the people sitting around him.
