The Demon’s Angelic Love - Chapter 167
Azren was still hovering above Michy, and his eyes remained on the latter all the time. And his eyes just couldn’t leave Michy’s after hearing the boy’s unexpected statement.
His emerald eyes connected with the blue ones all the time, and somehow he thought that he could read the owner of the azure eyes, but he was still not sure.
He was surprised by the idol’s statement just now, but he knew that Michy was not playing around when he uttered the sentences. There was no hint of jokes in the words, and he knew that Michy was serious with his words.
“What do you mean, Michy?” He asked in the end, hoping that his assumption about Michy’s statement was wrong.
The blonde knew that Michy was not joking or teasing him, but he still needed clarification for the surprising statement. And Michy was the only one who could clarify.
Azren knew that Michy was also facing difficulty as he was about to make a crucial decision. The young boy was thinking so hard right now, and Azren was willing to wait for the idol to answer his question.
However, his wait was interrupted by the vibration of his phone inside his jeans pocket.
The blonde groaned in annoyance, but he still pulled himself away from the idol and sat on the couch before taking out his phone from his pocket. He widened his eyes when he saw Felice’s name on the screen.
Azren glimpsed at Michy for a few moments before answering the call, “Yes, Felice?”
Michy could hear how the blonde mentioned the female manager’s name, but he remained calm and didn’t even get up from his lying position. He only fixated his blue eyes on Azren as he tried to observe the conversation.
“Are you with Michy right now, Azren?” The reply came from Felice, but it was only Azren who could hear the voice.
And just like it was his second nature, Azren immediately glanced at Michy when he heard the name being mentioned by the manager. “Yes,” he replied as he kept his green eyes on the idol. “I’m with Michy right now. Do you want to talk to him, Felice?”
It was not the first time when Felice chose to call Azren even if she wanted to talk to Michy. Sometimes Michy would ignore any call when he was in a bad mood, and that was why Felice opted to call the assistant instead.
It wasn’t unexpected for Azren, so his mouth was so smooth to produce the question. This time, Azren expected that Felice would say ‘yes,’ but he was surprised when he heard Felice say ‘no’ instead.
“I want to talk to you about an important matter, Azren. Can you move away from Michy so he won’t be able to listen to our conversation?”
Azren felt strange when he heard Felice’s question, and he suddenly felt a bad feeling about it.
The girl was talking through the phone, so the idol wouldn’t be able to hear her words for sure. But the pinkette still wanted him to move away from Michy even if the fact was like that, so Azren knew that Felice would talk about something very important to him.
The blonde felt anxious, but he still turned to Michy and say to the idol, “I will go to my room now, Michy. You better go to your room to rest too.”
He didn’t even wait for Michy’s response as he immediately got up from the couch and walked over to his room. Michy stared at him confusedly, but he didn’t say anything.
Upon arriving in his room, Azren locked the door before walking over to the bed. He then spoke again to Felice, “I’m in my room now. Do you want to talk about something related to Michy? Did something bad happen?”
Felice didn’t want Michy to overhear their conversation, so Azren was sure that the female manager wanted to talk about something related to Michy.
He was nervous, and he even bit his nail nervously as he waited for the reply from the female manager.
“Yes,” the girl finally answered. “The current situation is out of hand, Azren. The situation is worse than my prediction, and I don’t want Michy to know about it.”
Felice didn’t directly answer his question, but she sounded so desperate all of a sudden.
Azren remembered that Felice was quite confident when she said that she would deal with the matter, even asking Michy not to think about it, but judging from the girl’s panicked tone, Azren could guess that Felice had underestimated the situation.
“What happened, Felice? I haven’t checked the internet yet, so I don’t know what’s happening there,” the man asked for further explanation as he tried to keep calm while dealing with the situation.
Indeed. Azren didn’t have the chance to check the internet because he was too busy confessing and making out with Michy. That was such a shameful act in this kind of situation, and Azren knew that he should keep the matter secret.
‘Felice doesn’t need to know about that,’ he secretly talked to himself.
When he was busy reprimanding himself, the answer from Felice came, “Public is talking about the kiss on the stage today. They were talking badly about Michy, Azren. Michy is indeed not the one who kissed, but they still slander Michy for having a shameless girlfriend.”
Azren wasn’t surprised by the explanation because he had predicted that kind of outcome, and he knew that Felice had expected that situation too.
“We both have expected that something like that would happen, right? But, why did you sound so panicked earlier, Felice? Is there anything else that’s happening on the internet now?”
Azren was innocent, but he wasn’t slow. Even if Felice had given him an explanation, he could guess that the girl still had something to explain.
“You are right, Azren. Something else happened related to today’s incident,” the manager spoke again. “I don’t know how something like this could happen, but even after the chaos caused by the unexpected kiss happened on the stage, the live broadcast on the internet was still going on.”
Now, Azren was surprised by the girl’s next explanation. “What? How could something like that happen? The staff should have stopped the live broadcast when the chaos happened, right? I thought something like that was a custom in the entertainment industry.”
Azren indeed didn’t know much about the entertainment industry in the human world, but something like that was too simple to understand. The showcase was held by Seventius, and the people who were working for the showcase should take care of the celebrities under the company.
An unexpected situation happened in Michy and CM’s showcase, and the staff should have done something to protect the two idols’ reputations. Even if Felice didn’t instruct the staff to stop the broadcast, they should have stopped it because the broadcast surely would add another chaos.
“You are right. The staff should have stopped the broadcast when the incident happened, and that’s why I’m so stressed right now, Azren,” Felice responded in a weak tone. “I expected that the live broadcast had stopped the moment fans started to leave the venue angrily, and I didn’t expect that the broadcast continued even after the disaster happened.”
Azren could understand Felice’s feelings. The people who were working in the showcase were professionals, and Felice expected that those people would do something to prevent further disaster even without her instruction.
“Wait, Felice,” the blonde spoke again when he realized something. “You said that the live broadcast continued even after the fans left the venue in anger, right? You mean, the incident when Michy slapped Trissa was also broadcast?”
Azren just noticed that possibility, and his heart thumped loudly after realizing it. Slapping a girl on the face was not something that could be proud of. Michy was a man, but he had the heart to hit a girl. If that kind of act was seen by the public, then…
“Yes, Azren. The incident when Michy slapped Trissa was also broadcast.”
It was truly a calamity, and Azren felt his chest stuffy as he imagined how the public would react to Michy’s attitude.
Trissa was indeed in the wrong, but people probably would side with the girl now. The public probably would think that Michy was just a heartless man who dared to land a hand on the girl’s cheek just because the girl kissed him.
Right. The public surely would attack Michy more after watching the live broadcast when Michy slapped Trissa right on the face. Azren didn’t want to think like this, but he was afraid that Michy’s career would end for real this time.
“That’s not the only disaster that’s happening right now, Azren,” Felice spoke again, and Azren readied himself for the worse news coming from the girl. “The moment when you protected Michy from Tallie’s slap was also broadcast. Tallie’s words that indirectly slandered Michy for being gay were also broadcast.. I think it’s the end of Michy’s career, Azren.”
