Showbiz 33-Wild Ducks

Gian was puzzled by the attitude of Erica and his fans who were even shedding tears. He, who felt that the show was enough, ended his stage act. Gian put the guitar back to its original place. As he was about to get off the stage, people clapped and shouted his name. Gian was transfixed for a moment and then smiled.

"I'm going to send this video to the fan group! They'll definitely like it a lot!" exclaimed Erica who was busy moving her fingers on her touch screen phone.

"Is... my voice good?" asked Lux doubtfully.

"That's a very good song, Lux. Do... do you want to convey your heart to your father?" a restaurant guest asked, leaving Gian stunned.

'What does that have to do with Maximo Osiris?' Gian thought confused.

As he tried to think about that question, he realized that Lux and Maximo's relationship was not going well. Gian immediately closed his eyes while exhaling a long breath. Again, he felt that the improvisation which people thought was very touching, became a boomerang for him.

"Regarding that matter... only God and I know," Lux replied with a smile and then walked to his desk.

"Did you hear what Lux said? He seems like a religious person. It's just that I've never seen him go to a place of worship," whispered a fan to which another fan nodded.

"We are lucky to be participating in this event. Besides, joining the fan group will give us a lot of information about Lux! This is really amazing! I can't wait for more surprises!" said another fan, which made the restaurant guests think of the girls' comments.

"Do we have to join the fan club? How can we do that? It seems that there are many advantages to joining the Luxiuz Club," asked one diner to her dining companion.

"I'll find out from the girls," said a young woman to which her table mates nodded.

Without Gian realizing it, many of the restaurant guests wanted to join the fan club. The Luxiuz were kind enough to introduce them to Erica. Of course, this was immediately welcomed by Mandy's granddaughter.

Erica quickly took the remaining flyers and distributed them to the restaurant guests who wanted to join. They filled out the form while Erica scanned the barcode on her phone.

[Congratulations, Gian. You managed to gather 600 fans]

Gian was stunned. He just realized that Erica was not with him. His eyes caught the figure of Erica who was busy registering at one of the restaurant's tables.

"She's a very dedicated woman," he said in praise which made Marbella look glum.

Apparently, Lux's performance that night had the restaurant guests talking. The Luxiuzes seemed eager to share the video of Lux singing to friends who had not yet joined the club.

"The song was so touching. I cried," said a fan as she wiped her tears with a tissue.

"It was like I could feel Lux's sadness. All this time I also suspected that Lux and the Mayor's relationship wasn't good. I rarely saw them together. Probably, because of their respective busy schedules," said another fan whose words were heard by Lux because the tables they ordered were close together.

Marbella and the people in Lux's lineup could only remain silent, while enjoying the food and drinks that had been served. Gian could see the stiff faces of those people, but chose to remain silent. For some reason, anything related to the Osiris family, made him depressed.

"Wow, this is delicious!" exclaimed Lux suddenly as he put the sliced meat into his mouth.

"Do you like it, Young master? That is the roasted duck with our restaurant's special seasoning. That's why, even though our restaurant has only been established for 1 year, it has become the favorite restaurant of the visitors until now," said the waitress standing near Lux's table. He was specialized to serve Lux's group at the request of the restaurant owner.

"The marinade goes all the way into the meat. Maybe, I can eat the bones," Lux replied as he tried to chew the pieces of duck bone in his mouth.

Lux's eating behavior attracted people's attention. He ate with gusto even using his hands. Rona and Leon even glared because they didn't expect that a Lux Osiris, who was known to be the most elegant when eating food, was now like a starving person.

"Young master, Young master Lux!" called Marbella with a stifled voice.

"Hem, what's wrong?" replied Lux while chewing.

"You are being noticed by many people," she replied in a whisper.

Gian's eyes then scanned the surroundings. He was confused why he was being stared at with a strange look. Gian saw that the hands of the people in Lux's lineup were all holding cutlery, except for him. He just realized what he did.

Gian, who is used to eating quickly because he's running late for work, forgot some important things like washing his hands before eating. He then sat up straight and took a napkin to wipe his hands and mouth. People were still focused on him.

"For those who haven't tried this duck, eat it. I assure you, you will become wild humans like me," Lux said with a serious face which made Erica chuckle softly. Rona and the others looked at Erica who covered her mouth as she held back her laughter. "I had forgotten that I was a public figure. The taste of this roast duck really made me forget who I am. You'd better be careful when eating it. I'm serious," Lux added which made Erica burst out laughing.

Not long after, Mandy joined in the laughter which was followed by Tedo and Rowi. Like a plague, the people who heard that laughed too.

"Free roast duck for those who want to order it! If you don't feel the madness of eating it like I do, then... you have a tongue problem," said Lux, making people curious about the menu.

"Uncle! I want roast duck like Lux!" shouted one fan as she raised her hand.

"Me too!" said another fan, leaving the waitress at the restaurant confused.

"Finish your roast duck stock! Give it to all the tables that don't have it. Then, leave one for me. I want to take it home," said Lux to which the waiter immediately nodded.

"Is it perfect?" asked Mandy to confirm.

"It tastes like swimming in a clear lake with the ducks, Mandy. Try it," replied Lux which made the old lady laugh.

"You're a strange person, Lux," Leon said with narrowed eyes.

"It's this strange person that you should always support because he contributes a lot to the Emerald Group, Mr. Leon," Lux replied with a smile that made Rona and the others smile too.

"Never mind, let's just enjoy tonight. Tomorrow, we already have to prepare the concept of the event to submit to Mr. Arco," replied Rona with a haggard face.

"Did... Mr. Arco also request the event concept from Young Master Lux?" asked Marbella anxiously to the point of stopping the meal.

"That's what we're here for. Get ready, Lux. You promised the Emerald Group a lot of ideas as compensation for breaking the contract. It's time to impress Mr. Arco. Don't blow it," Rona said as she pointed the tip of her fork at the handsome face of the purple-haired man.

"OK!" Lux replied with a nod, despite his flat face.

'Arco? Who is he? Apparently he's a very important person in the Emerald Group. Rona and Leon turned pale at the mention of their names. Especially Marbella, she looked depressed just hearing the name. Wow, am I going to meet another Maximo or Osiris type?' Gian wondered as he chewed on the roast duck.
