Chapter 58: SugarPlumFairy Walks into the Wolf Den
Micah was lost, again. He stared at his phone, Binates Hall, fourth floor, fan meeting. Simple enough, but somehow, he couldn’t even find the elevator. The hallway seemed to stretch on endlessly. After a few aimless turns, he finally spotted a hotel staff member. He rushed over like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline. "Excuse me! Help... Please!"
The Hotel staff’s expression turned blank for a second before he guided Micah through several twists and turns.
Micah finally stood before the private booth.
It was a sleek glass-walled room, transparent enough to peek inside, but soundproofed to isolate the chatter within. Inside, the decor was oddly romantic, with soft lighting, flickering candles, and fresh flower arrangements. It looked like more a date setup than a fan meeting.
Peeking out from behind a marble pillar, Micah nervously glanced into the room. Nearly fifty women were gathered inside, ranging from bubbly teens to stylish women in their early thirties. Not a single man in sight. Micah grimaced, thinking if any man from the group chat saw this crowd, they would probably bolt on the spot. It was like stepping into a wolf den. One packed with passionate, territorial, and frighteningly coordinated women. They would chew him out to find out why he was a fan of Leo. Good thing he had come disguised.
Micah patted his bulging chest, feeling reassured.
Peering through the glass, he tried to guess which one was LioNessQueen. The Room seemed to divide naturally into three groups. One was lively and laughing, clearly old friends. The second exchanged polite words, stiff and courteous. And the third stood silently, awkwardly, unsure how to start a conversation. No obvious leader in sight.
Micah smoothed down his clothes and walked inside. The low hum of chatter quilted down slightly at his entrance. From across the room, a girl noticed him and beamed. She looked around twenty-two, wearing a ponytail and an oversized cream blouse tucked into loose corduroy pants. Her whole vibe was warm and welcoming, like a senior sister in a university club.
"Oh, hi! Are you here for the fan meeting?" she asked, stepping toward him.
Micah nodded quickly, his voice caught in his throat. "Yeah, I’m... here for the meeting."
"Great, can I have your WeChat ID?" the girl asked.
Micah bit the inside of his cheek, trying to reply naturally. "It’s SugerPlumFairyIsLeo’sWife."
What was he thinking, picking this ID?! It was too embarrassing to say it aloud in front of these people.
"Ah! You are SugerPlumFairy!" the girl exclaimed, attracting other’s attention.
A few nearby girls turned their heads at the name.
Micah cringed internally. Thank goodness she had omitted the rest of his ID. Well, it was probably because they all thought of themselves as the wives of Leo Mckay. Who would want to call others that?!
"I am Leo’sFirstConcubine! But you can call me sister Meg," the girl said brightly.
"Oh, thanks for adding me to the group," Micah said politely.
Another girl with caramel-coloured hair in twin buns and a sweet smile stepped forward. A simple appeared on her cheek when she smiled. "Welcome, newbie! I am LeoLuvsMe, but everyone here calls me LeLe!"
Micah gave her a small nod, grateful for the friendliness. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad.
Then, out of nowhere, an arm draped heavily over Micah’s shoulder. His body stiffened as a woman’s voice purred close to his ear.
"Hey, did you enjoy the collection I sent you?"
Micah tensed and turned his head slightly. A tall woman grinned at him with mischief in her dark eyes. Her lipstick was a bold crimson, and she wore a fitted leather jacket over a crop top that screamed confidence.
"What..."
Before he could even finish, the woman cut in. "Hey, I am numberOneKing’sFan or you can call me sister Candra," then she winked at him.
Micah’s blood ran cold as the memory of those...indecent images flashed across his mind. She had sent them to his private account, Leo’s naked pictures and so on...
His face turned crimson.
Candra threw her head back and laughed. "From that blush, I am guessing you saw it."
Micah looked like he wanted to crawl under the table. His toes curled inside his boots from goosebumps. Ahhh...,
Of course, he saw it! His soul had gone halfway to the underworld from the scare and come back.
Leo’sFirstConcubine aka sister Meg noticed his discomfort and nudged the woman. "Knock it off, Candra, you are scaring the poor girl."
"Alright, alright," Candra smirked and walked off, still chuckling.
Meg smiled apologetically and took Micah’s hand in hers.
"Come on, let me get you settled. I know our enthusiasm is sometimes a bit overwhelming."
She led him to a cushioned bench near the back. "Here, sit down. Want some cold juice? You look flushed."
Micah waved his hand and said, "I’m okay. No need for the trouble. I was just caught off guard."
"Okay. We are waiting for the big sister to arrive. Once she’s here, we’ll eat and get to know each other," sister Meg said.
Micah bobbled his head like a chicken pecking, showing he understood.
Sister Meg reached out and pinched Micah’s cheek out of the blue. "Cute!" then she ran off to others, leaving Micah flabbergasted.
He touched his red cheek, his expression blank.
What is wrong with these people? Why are they so touchy?! He felt like a tender girl in some shady anime, constantly being taken advantage of by some lewd middle-aged uncles.
Then a girl his age quietly approached and sat beside him. She had short black hair styled in a blunt bob, and her sharp cool expression made her seem like she didn’t care about anything. It was hard to think of her as a diehard fan.
"Hi, I am HisMajestyMuffin," she said, staring at Micah.
"Hello, I am SugerPlumFairy..." Micah tensed.
"I know, you don’t need to say it." she interrupted him. "Most of us know each other beforehand. So your fresh appearance is hard to miss."
Micah paused and glanced at the girl questioningly.
"Is it weird that a newbie like me is in your small gathering?" Micah asked.
"Oh, yeah. We don’t let just anyone attend this level of fan meeting. Most newbies get shoved into the 3 pm formal event where everyone sits stiffly in rows of chairs. Then big sister will give a speech, and our Leo will drop off for a brief moment and that is it."
"Oh... I thought..." Suddenly Micah’s voice cracked. A terror rippled through his throat. He reached for a glass of water from the table and took a quick sip.
The girl turned her head, raising an eyebrow. "You okay?"
Micah placed his hand on his mouth and coughed softly.
"Thank you," Micah whispered. "My throat got itchy..."
"Oh, it is the damn candles," she muttered, wrinkling her nose. " They use those stupid floral ones for ambience. I fucking hate them. I complained multiple times, but they still lit it up!"
Micah took a small sip of water, trying to moisten his throat. He thought in dismay that he couldn’t keep this up for too long. His voice was already straining, his vocal cords were tired.
"I’ll go tell them to put them out." the girl stood abruptly and walked away.
Micah sighed in relief. At least she wasn’t the curious gossipy type. But that relief was short-lived.
Like thunder, a voice rang out across the room.
"Asena!"
Micah flinched.
