Michy was indeed traumatized by the accident that happened in the radio station. Back then, the perverted radio DJ went too far outside the script and questioned the silver-haired idol about his private life, and the thing got worse when the DJ wanted to assault him.
Michy was sexually assaulted, and there were even traces of the assault on his body. That was why the idol took precautions this time so that the same accident wouldn't be happening again. He looked calm when he answered Reno's question in the radio program back then, but it turned out that the idol was also troubled inside.
It was just his acting skills that managed to hide his real feelings back then. If Michy could tell the truth, then he would say that he was anxious in the radio show back then.
Azren had known more about Michy's personal life, and he could understand why the idol didn't want the public to know more about his life. 'He manages to hide a lot of things in such a small body. His body might be small, but he has a big heart inside his small body.'
The blonde demon admired the idol more after knowing the truth about Michy's past. Instead of feeling disgusted, Azren appreciated Michy's effort to make his adoptive parents' dream come true.
And even if he indeed 'sold' himself, but Michy still had a principle to only allow those 'buyers' to hug him and also hold his hand. Michy never let the buyers do more than that because he still knew the limit.
"You don't have to worry about that, Michy," the lady finally answered Michy's question. "We will give a briefing to all the audiences that will attend the show later, and we will make sure that they wouldn't ask questions about your personal life."
It seemed that the lady was an understanding person. Michy didn't even elaborate what he meant, but the lady could grasp what the idol wished so well.
Azren could see how the silver-haired youth heaved a sigh of relief before saying, "Thank you, Mrs. Fletcher. You have been treating me well all these times, and I really appreciate your kindness."
Michy flashed a sincere smile at the older lady, and Azren frowned once again. He was confused because Michy respected the lady a lot. Azren was still puzzled, but then his emerald eyes then bulged when he saw how the lady stroked the silver locks lovingly.
'What? Is this woman the same as Lea Lennon? She's also Michy's sugar mommy? Michy also has a buyer outside the company?' Azren was troubled in his heart and could only observe the two people's interaction silently.
The kid named Nino Fiser said that Michy had sold himself to the people in the company, but Azren had never seen the lady in the Seventius building. Felice also didn't say anything about the lady being a celebrity under Seventius. Now Azren started thinking that Michy's 'working area' might be wider than he thought.
"You don't need to be so polite with me, Michy. Your adoptive parents are my good friends, so you're like my own son. I even think of betrothing you with my daughter."
The first explanation from the lady almost made Azren heave a sigh of relief. It turned out the lady was just a friend of Michy's adoptive parents. He was glad because Michy still had someone who cared about him sincerely without having another intention.
And on top of that, Azren was also glad that the lady wasn't Michy's 'client.' If the lady was Michy's client, then Azren would only feel awkward when he was around the two of them.
Azren almost heaved a sigh of relief, but actually, the next thing he heard from the lady almost got him a heart attack. 'Why did she want to betroth Michy with her daughter? Michy is still a minor! I can't let anyone hurt him!'
Bethroting was not necessarily hurting, but Azren was overreacting in his heart. He even clenched his hands into fists upon hearing the lady's statement. His human braid told him that betrothal was something that would lead the relationship to marriage, but he believed that Michy was too young for that.
And Azren also knew that Mrs. Fletcher's plan would end in an arranged marriage. 'What if Michy doesn't love the daughter?' He even thought about love when he was a demon who should despise the word love, but he didn't seem to realize that.
"Your daughter is too beautiful and too nice, Mrs. Fletcher. I doubt she will be willing to get married to a nobody like me," Michy didn't notice the change of expression on his assistant's face as he could reply to the lady's words casually.
The casual reply startled Azren, though. The young idol even praised the lady's daughter, so Michy surely had known the girl, right? He really wanted to storm forward to ask for an explanation, but he held himself in place because he knew that he didn't have the right to question Michy's private life.
He was just Michy's assistant, not his boyfriend or something.
'Wait. What? Why did I think about something like that?' Azren's eyes bulged when the crazy thought flashed in his mind.
"Hey, you stinky lanky. You want to work today or not? You can go pack your things and leave my house if you don't want to work."
Azren flinched when he heard a question coming from the front. He looked up to see Michy, who was still sitting on a chair, giving him a bored look that was no longer strange in his eyes. Michy was alone now, and it seemed the lady had left the idol. He didn't even notice that the lady had left Michy.
Not wanting to provoke Michy's anger, the demon immediately walked toward the blue-eyed idol. "Do you need something, Michy?" He asked the young idol.
Instead of verbally answering his question, Michy just shoved the few sheets of paper to him. Azren recognized the papers as the ones the lady gave the idol earlier.
"Read the question for me. I'm too lazy to read them."
The emerald eyes fixated on the paper in his hands, but then he looked up to the idol again. "You want me to read the question aloud?"
Hearing his innocent question, Michy rolled his eyes. "You just need to read it on your own, and then tell me if some questions are inappropriate. You know how to judge the questions, right?"
It was quite a hard task because his judgment could be wrong, so he nervously stared at the young idol. "I just need to tell you if I find the questions related to your personal life, right?"
The blue eyes glared at him the moment he finished asking the question. "You are really useless, aren't you?"
Michy didn't answer his question and questioned him instead, but Azren didn't ask another question. He knew that the idol wouldn't give him a clear answer.
The blonde demon was about to turn his heels to leave the idol, but then he remembered something. "Uh, Michy. Who is the lady just now? You seem so familiar with her." He didn't intend to pry, but he was just curious.
"Ah, so you eavesdropped on our conversation just now?"
The pair of green eyes widened upon hearing the idol's question. How could it be considered as eavesdrop when the two people didn't even talk to each other secretly? They were talking in public, so it was normal if he managed to catch what they were talking about, right?
"I didn't eavesdrop, Michy. I just happened to hear your conversation."
Michy rolled his blue eyes when he heard the blonde's excuse. "You want to say that you have ears, so you naturally could hear our conversation, right?"
The silver-haired idol was not wrong, and Azren could only grin bashfully.
"She's Tallie Fletcher, and she's my adoptive parents' good friend. She's the host of the talk show."
Azren was quite surprised because Michy was willing to give him an explanation. Even though the blue-eyed idol still sounded cold and rude, Azren still felt happy because the young idol was willing to answer his question with his beautiful voice.
"She looks quite nice to you. I'm glad that there's still someone who cares about you sincerely."
Azren just voiced out what he was thinking, but Michy looked startled when he heard the opinion.
"I see you've changed, stinky lanky. You don't look like a fool anymore, and you even dare to pry on my personal life. Do you want me to reward you?"
The word 'reward' should be good, but when it came out of the idol's lips, Azren could feel a danger instead. Probably the words 'reward' and 'punishment' had the same meaning in Michy's dictionary.
"No, Michy. You better save the reward for someone else. I'll excuse myself to study the script."
And Azren successfully saved himself from the idol's 'reward.'
