Since the other managed to become his housekeeper, it meant that Leland did a thorough background check on the other. Just passing Lelandâs standard showed that the other not only didnât have any criminal record, he also had a good personality. That already checked the first requirement Wulfric was looking for. After all, the president of Asterâs fan club shouldnât have a shitty personality.
The next one was making sure that the other was a genuine fan of Aster. That one was easy to check. After looking at Samuelâs [Cyberspace] account, he found out that other only started being a fan of Aster after the Silver Moon Awards. All his posts after that were all about Aster.
They were all positive, mostly praising how beautiful Aster was and how good he was at acting. Not only that, Samuel also made a lot of good edits. From Asterâs appearance in [The Sleeping God] to his scenes in [The Great War], even the one where he only guested for an episode. There were also edits of his variety show appearances, interviews, and advertisements that he took part in.
Because of how good those edits were, Wulfric even downloaded all of them. One of his favorites was the EMMA perfume ad that Aster did. The edit Samuel did of that turned out so pretty that Wulfric had to make it his Terminalâs wallpaper.
Having crossed two items off his checklist, the only thing left was to confirm whether Samuel could be trusted with the role of Asterâs fan club president. And the best way to do that was to speak to him. Not through [Cyberspace], but in person.
He could still remember that conversation. Not because it was very memorable, just because it was about Aster.

Wulfric looked at the big man standing in front of him. After much deliberation, he finally called the other to his study. At a quick glance, Samuel Lewis seemed very at ease. As if he wasnât worried about why his boss had called him. But if one looked at him closely, they would see the trembling of his fingertips. Showing that he wasnât as calm as he wanted to appear.

He had to hand it to him for trying, though. Well, if he had been his housekeeper for three years, that meant he had guts at least. Thatâs the longest a housekeeper had stayed without getting fired or directly resigning.
âMay I ask why you called me, General?â the other asked. He would give him another point for addressing him as âgeneralâ, not as âyour highnessâ. âDid I perhaps do something wrong?â
âNo, your handle name in [Cyberspace] is @muscledbubblegum, correct?â
Samuelâs face showed confusion, as if he didnât understand what Wulfric was asking. Or how did he even know about that. âYes?â
âAnd youâre also a fan of Aster, right?â
âYes?â
Wulfric frowned. âWhy do you always answer with just âyesâ? Is that the only word you know?â
âI-Iâm sorry!â Samuel quickly apologized. But after bowing his head, he still raised it and asked tentatively, âBut General, Iâm really confused right now. So, I can only say âyesâ. Can you perhaps tell me what this is all about? And if youâre talking about the actor, Astrid Townsend, yes, Iâm a big fan.â
Wulfric raised an eyebrow. He thought the other would immediately grovel and ask for forgiveness. But to quickly recover like this, thatâs a good sign.
âThen let me get straight to the point,â he said. âWhat Iâm about to tell you next should forever remain in this room.â
He saw Samuel gulp. âYes, General! I swear on my life, I wonât tell anyone about this, ever!â
âGood. Then, listen carefully.â Wulfric looked at the other with the most serious expression and continued, âI have a [Cyberspace] account with the name âWhite Wolfâ, and my handle is @astridsnumber1fan.â
Samuel initially looked confused by what he said. But when it finally registered, his eyes widened to the extreme, his mouth hung open, and his entire expression became almost cartoonishly exaggerated.
âWHAT???â

After the initial âmental breakdownâ that Samuel Lewis had, the two of them were finally able to talk about the real purpose of calling the other to the study. At first, Samuel seemed to be still in shock, and he couldnât understand what Wulfric was saying. They were only able to really talk after the other got over the shock.
And then Wulfric spent the next hour convincing the other to become the president of Asterâs fan club. It took that long because Samuel didnât think that he deserved such a position. But with Wulfricâs convincing (forceful) power, the other finally agreed. Seará´h the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
After the other agreed, they then discussed how Samuel would do his job as the club president. First, he should update Wulfric on everything that happened in the club, from activities and events to member feedback and any issues that would arise.
Of course, he would compensate him for all the work he would do. The other declined at first, but Wulfric insisted. So, Samuel couldnât really do anything but agree.
After some manipulation here and there, Wulfric was finally able to put Samuel as the president of the fan club.
However, at the moment, the fan club issue was not his main concern. His sole focus right now was figuring out how to help Aster.
Wulfric couldnât help Aster until Aster informed his parents and the Grimaldis about him, so it would likely be awhile before he could truly offer his assistance.
He could understand Asterâs position, though. With Wulfricâs bad reputation, it was no wonder that Aster was having trouble telling his family about him.
If before, he didnât really care about how others thought of him, but being in love with Aster was slowly changing that. Of course, it only applied to the people important to Aster.
The rest? He still didnât give a damn.
