The Demon’s Angelic Love - Chapter 149

Gizach?” Azren unconsciously whispered when he recognized the red-haired demon behind Willem Shelton.

He couldn’t be mistaken. The demon was indeed Gizach! But, why did Gizach appear in this building?

Azren kept staring at the demon with red hair as he thought about the possibility behind the demon’s appearance.

However, his whisper earlier wasn’t low enough, and the people near him managed to catch his whisper.

“Did you say something, Azren? Or, were you calling someone just now?” Felice was the one who questioned him as she turned toward him.

Azren’s face still looked pale upon seeing Gizach, and he just realized that he stupidly whispered the demon’s name just now. Now the four humans were waiting for his answer with curious expressions on their faces.

“Ah… that…” Azren hesitantly tried to speak, but he ended up stuttering. “I just remember that I have an appointment with a friend tonight, and his name is Gizach,” he managed to answer the question before he focused on Felice again. “Uh, Felice. Can you take Michy home now? It’s kind of urgent, and I can’t take Michy home.”

Thankfully, Azren managed to find a reasonable answer to the manager’s question. He could see the female manager furrowing her brows at her, seeming to consider his request. Azren just hoped that the female manager would let him go this once.

But, to his dismay, even before Felice could give him an answer, Michy suddenly broke the silence. “You just want to ditch your responsibility to take me home, don’t you?” The idol mercilessly asked him a question.

Now, Azren felt like he lost his dignity because the idol had the heart to attack him in front of the big boss. When he glanced at Willem, the man was squinting his eyes at him. Not only that, but when he glimpsed at Gizach, he could see the nasty demon smirking at him. He was cornered by them all now.

“I don’t want to ditch you, Michy,” Azren responded. “You let Elias have a day off, so you should give me the same opportunity, right? I’ve never left you this past month, and I just need your permission to let me go tonight.”

When Azren thought about it again, he never had a holiday ever since he started working for Michy. Even when he worked for Lucifer in Hell, his schedule was not this tight.

‘Michy didn’t even pay me, and he didn’t even want to give me a day off? He’s even crueler than my king,’ the blonde demon grumbled inwardly.

He hoped Michy would show him mercy, but to his dismay, the boy was still frowning at him.

“I don’t mean to meddle, but I think Azren has to take Michy home first before he can’t go meet his friend,” Willem decided to intervene, and Azren was more disappointed.

“That’s right!” CM chimed in. “It’s already so late, and who is the person you will see, Azren? Maybe you will only have a date with someone, right?”

CM was so cunning with her words, and she even glimpsed at Michy after she finished speaking.

Azren wanted to bury himself alive now.

“Stop teasing Azren, Carmen. He is older than you, and it’s normal if he has a girlfriend out there,” Willem spoke again, but this time, he reprimanded his daughter.

The said daughter pouted, but she chose to thin her lips. Her expression was just like Azren’s who looked bitter after hearing the word ‘girlfriend.’

“Anyway, I came here to pick up Carmen, and I didn’t expect that the atmosphere is a bit tense here. What happened, huh? Where is Gareen now?” Willem suddenly changed the subject and brought up other questions.

The atmosphere was kind of tense because of Michy and Gareen’s conversation earlier, and Willem was able to feel the tension.

“Gareen has left, Sir,” Felice replied. “He has worked hard to train both Michy and CM, so he immediately excused himself after the practice was over.”

William nodded his head in understanding, and there was a hint of guilt on his face. “It’s my fault because I immediately asked him to come when his plane just landed in this country. Maybe he kept cursing in his heart because of me.”

The boss of Seventius looked guilty, but the other people didn’t dare to say that he was indeed in the wrong for exploiting his employee.

“I will raise his salary because he has worked hard for both Michy and Carmen, but can anyone tell me what happened before Gareen left? You all looked confused when I saw you just now.”

Willem went back to question the tense atmosphere, and it was Felice again who answered, “Nothing happened here, Sir. Both Michy and Carmen are just hungry because Gareen didn’t let them eat dinner earlier.”

Felice thought that her answer was quite smart, but Willem looked unhappy instead.

“That freak dared to starve my daughter and my nephew?” He asked in annoyance. “I just planned to raise his salary, but he dared to torture Carmen and Michy. I will talk to him personally later. I even let him have a honeymoon with his wife for two months, but he dared to do that to my family?”

Now, all eyes were on Felice because the pink-haired manager was the one who found the lame excuse that only caused more trouble. Felice didn’t know what to say, but thankfully, Michy came to the rescue.

“Gareen knew that we only have one day to practice, and that’s why he was being strict to us, Uncle. And both I and Carmen also agreed to skip dinner, so it’s not completely Gareen’s mistake.”

Michy once again stepped forward to defend someone. He shield Felice before, and how he was trying to protect Gareen.

Hearing the nephew’s reasoning, Willem finally relented. “You still see that freak as your hero, right?” he teased his nephew as he glanced at Azren again. “But your assistant still needs to take you home, Michy. It’s his responsibility, and he couldn’t just ask Felice to take the responsibility.”

The attention was on Azren again, and the demon knew that he wouldn’t be able to escape now. He could only throw another glance at Gizach, and the latter smirked at him.

“You want to talk to me, right? Don’t worry. I will come to your room again tonight, and we can have a peaceful chat in your room.”

Azren grind his teeth when he heard Gizach’s words. If it was before, then he would immediately refuse the idea, but now he didn’t have any choice. He just nodded curtly, partially answered Gizach’s statement, and partially replied to Willem’s words.

He was doing good without making the human suspicious of him, and he could be relaxed now.

“It’s settled now, so we better head home. Go to bed immediately, so you will wake up in the best condition for the showcase tomorrow,” Willem finally ended the conversation.

They finished the discussion, and Michy immediately excused himself and Azren to go back to his residence. After bidding goodbye, the two men headed to the elevator in silence.

Even when they were already inside the elevator, none of them broke the silence.

Azren’s mind was preoccupied with something, and he didn’t want to utter any words to break the silence.

On the other hand, Michy kept stealing glances at the blonde when he noticed the blonde’s bizarre attitude. The blonde kept frowning ever since they separated with the three people in the practice room, and it perked up his curiosity.

“Are you disappointed because you couldn’t go meet your friend right away? Or maybe it’s really your girlfriend you want to see tonight?” The idol decided to question the taller man while shifting his gaze from the man.

Azren was surprised by the boy’s question, and he turned to the boy to observe the expression made by the boy. Even if Michy was not facing him, he knew that the idol was frowning now.

Michy seemed to be troubled by something, and Azren smiled a little at the sight. Challenging himself, he stretched out his hand to ruffle the silver locks that belonged to the young boy.

“Will you get angry at me if I touch your hair, Michy? You were fine when Gareen touched your hair, so I want to try my luck now.”

Michy snorted when he heard Azren’s weird statement, but he didn’t dodge the man’s touch. “You are not Gareen, and you shouldn’t try your luck on me. You two have different meanings in my life.”

Michy’s voice was still not warm, but Azren could feel a sense of strange warmness in the words. The idol didn’t say it directly, but Azren could get an important thing from the idol’s words. That was why his heart became light again after he was pressured by the thing related to Gizach.

Pulling his hand away from the idol’s head, Azren asked a question to the idol, “So, I do have a meaning in your life, right, Michy? Am I important to you?”
