Under the Spotlight : The Obsession

"Mia, I'm your big fan! You know, your cute face suits your soft voice so much! Your songs, I like them all!" said a female fan with an excited expression. The two of them faced each other at the front table. Mia smiled and nodded in response to the compliment. "Thank you very much!" replied Mia with a sweet smile. Her hands continued to move to sign some of the items brought by her fans. Taking pictures, then continuing to other fans.

"Mia dear! I love you more than myself! I truly adore you in my heart!"

"You should love yourself more than anything! But thank you for liking me."

This time it was the turn of the group of teenage boys to shout from the bench where they had to wait for their turn. They were not allowed to approach Mia directly because all the staff were traumatized by the incident that had befallen their idol artist.

Once, the fans made Mia feel crushed and out of breath just because they wanted to stand closer to their idol during an autograph session. The fans violated the maximum distance that had been determined until Mia was forced to be rushed to the hospital and cancel the autograph event after that.

So, for the sake of their beloved idol, the fans are willing to only see Mia from a determined distance and only come forward when it is their turn to take pictures and hand over items to be signed. The fans were more satisfied with this order, and most importantly, Mia's smile was enough to make them satisfied with this arrangement.

When the fans saw Mia smiling continuously throughout the event, the fans once again nodded in satisfaction just by looking at the pretty-faced girl from a certain distance. It was okay that they couldn't get too close to the sweet girl as long as they could still see her sincere smile.

At eleven at night, Mia finally finished all her activities. The girl's face began to look tired as her feet slowly walked towards the smoking room to meet Enzo, who promised to go home with her.

"Enzo... let's go home."

Enzo immediately got up from his seat and moved to hug Mia when the girl entered the smoking room with a tired face wrapped in a small smile. When Mia finally felt a familiar hug, she felt relaxed and completely surrendered herself to lean on Enzo's body. The two of them were silent until Enzo moved to release the hug and looked at Mia's face with a small smile.

"Okay, we'll go home right now. I'll ask someone to cook you warm water and healthy food once we get home. I've also told Lily to free up your schedule for a few days. Please hold back your tiredness until we get to the car. Once we get home, you can rest as much as you want Mia."

Enzo gently stroked Mia's soft cotton-like hair when the girl seemed to have difficulty keeping her tired eyes open. Hearing Enzo's words, Mia nodded again as her feet tiredly walked out of the room and towards where Enzo parked his car. They were greeted several times by staff who happened to pass by until Mia and Enzo finally arrived at a large parking lot.

When Enzo observed that Mia's walking was starting to stagger, the man finally gave up and chose to carry Mia until they arrived in front of the car. Continuously training hard for the past few months must have drained Mia's energy. Enzo didn't want to force Mia to walk anymore. And because she was tired, Mia didn't protest when Enzo carried her and put her down when the man opened the door so she could get into the car.

"Go to sleep. I can carry you too when we get there."

Enzo told Mia as he started the car. Hearing him, Mia finally nodded weakly. She began to lean her body against the soft car seat before her eyes slowly closed.

Once they finally arrived, Enzo carried the sleeping Mia. The man entered the elevator from the underground parking lot of his apartment building, struggling to press the button for his penthouse floor until they finally arrived at the intended floor. Only Enzo and his men could occupy that floor. Someone immediately helped him open the door when they saw Enzo had returned, while Enzo entered the room with a light blue door to put the sweet girl to sleep on Mia's big bed.

Enzo let Mia sleep soundly after he patiently covered Mia's body with her warm blanket.

"Morning, Mia. Or should I say good afternoon?" Enzo asked when he found Mia coming out of the room with her typical waking face.

Her long eyelids drooped down, and her eyelids trembled because Mia was trying to keep herself awake even though she was tired.

"Morning, Enzo. Are you going out today?" asked Mia, who was still half asleep. Her eyes stared tiredly at Enzo, who was already neat with his suit, while Mia's hands were folded on the dining table before her head followed to find a comfortable position again.

"Yes. There's something I need to handle myself today. You eat breakfast first. I'll only leave after you finish eating your breakfast Mia," said Enzo while pushing warm cereal in front of the girl.

Seeing the cereal made Mia groan, but starting to eat her cereal obediently. Since the accident that happened to her, Mia had a problem with her appetite. She rarely felt hungry, so Enzo had to make sure the girl ate with his own eyes every day.

Enzo sat in front of Mia, sipping his coffee in silence while observing his sweet cousin, who ate cereal with a slightly sleepy and messy face.

"Get some rest for today, Mia. You look really tired after finishing your world tour. If you're hungry, call someone to bring you food. Remember, don't eat frozen food for a while. You might get a sore throat afterward," Enzo warned firmly.

Mia replied to Enzo's words by nodding slowly. She didn't even move an inch from the dining table, even when Enzo started preparing. A middle-aged woman came to clean up the rest of their breakfast after that.

"I'm going now, Mia. Please don't go anywhere today," Enzo said before he's gone.

Her almost-closed eyes suddenly opened again when everyone had left the penthouse. Her head slowly lifted while her slender legs were directed towards the door that was closed after Enzo's subordinate had left earlier.

"Good. They will take Enzo out for fifteen minutes. Sorry, Enzo. But I have to go out now," she muttered softly before she finally turned around and went into her room in a hurry.

With the equipment she had learned before, Mia tried to go out and enjoy her own time while Enzo was away for work.
