Chapter 780 A Kiss Being Broadcasted Worldwide
Could Oliver have deliberately allowed the passionate kissing sounds and the affectionate words earlier to be heard?
Joy suspected that Oliver might have done it intentionally.
Oliver was undoubtedly an elite who could not possibly overlook such details, especially the microphone. Individuals at the top always paid extra attention to these tools that could reveal information and conversations.
'But why did he do that? Does he want to make their relationship public? That seemed unlikely.'
Joy, being a foreigner, did not understand Oliver. No matter what, she could not grasp his thoughts.
The fact was that he simply wanted to make his relationship with Natalie public.
Meanwhile, Natalie thought to herself, 'How did this happen? I'm done for. What have I been doing for the past few hours? Apart from scaring the store manager with Oliver when the camera was not rolling, we even kissed in the safe passage. Wait, the cameras didn’t capture us, so no one would know what I was doing, right?'
"Did I really forget to turn off the microphone just now?" Natalie asked again.
"Yes."
Joy's response filled Natalie with despair.
Joy continued, "And our microphones have an extra-long standby time. If I hadn't helped you turn it off earlier, it could have kept working until tomorrow morning."
Natalie did not say anything. She just wanted to find a place to hide. She took a deep breath and covered her face. After a moment, she asked, "Did the audience hear something they should not have?"
Joy glanced at Oliver beside her before she whispered to Natalie, "Can I really speak freely in front of him? He doesn’t seem too friendly."
"It's okay," Natalie replied, feeling depressed.
Oliver looked at Natalie before he left to make a phone call.
"After you made up the excuse of needing to go to the restroom, we could hear kissing noises," Joy said.
Natalie remained silent.
Joy continued, getting more and more excited. "If it were just kissing sounds, we could’ve come up with an excuse. However, we heard all the affectionate words as well…"
Natalie continued to remain silent.
"Everyone knows what happened," Joy added with relish.
"Okay, I understand. I don't want to hear anymore."
Natalie knew there was no way to fix this, and she felt hopeless.
Joy shrugged helplessly. "Since things have already escalated to this point, maybe you should be more honest. After all, today's broadcast went global, and it broke historical viewership records. Many viewers from your country sent gifts. Your country's people are really rich."
"Joy, if you keep talking, I'm going to cry."
Natalie sat down on a nearby chair and touched her forehead. Although she did not intend to hide her relationship with Oliver, she wanted everything to unfold naturally. However, this was beyond her expectations.
She sighed again when she thought about how the sound of their kiss and sweet nothings were being broadcast worldwide.
"Natalie, I sympathize with you, but I have a few more things to say," Joy said. She knew Natalie was very polite, and although Natalie expressed that she did not want to hear anymore, Natalie would not really stop her from speaking.
Natalie blinked at Lily as if to say, 'Go ahead.'
"You'll still have to stand in front of the audience in a few days for the Supermodel finals."
Natalie did not want to see anyone.
"In any case, get some rest."
"Thank you."
…
After the recording ended, the crew wanted to send Natalie and Oliver to the hotel reserved for Supermodel contestants.
Natalie declined and got into Jamie's car.
The Norton family was in Forinland, which was Oliver's mother's family's home. Here, he felt as comfortable as he did in Paykston.
On the way back to the hotel, Natalie leaned on Oliver's shoulder, looking frustrated.
Oliver asked, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
"I have been speaking into the microphone the whole afternoon," Natalie said, feeling depressed.
Oliver gently brushed her hair behind her ear and asked, "You don't want others to know?"
"It's not that, but many people heard us kissing in the safe passage," Natalie replied, feeling a headache coming on.
Oliver did not care. After all, when he kissed her, it was not just out of passion. It was part of his plan. He had seen the red indicator light on the microphone.
"We didn't do anything inappropriate. It was just sounds." Oliver touched Natalie's face, trying to comfort her.
But how could Natalie feel at ease?
She thought, 'We didn't do anything inappropriate? It was just sounds? How can you say that?'
"I want some time alone to calm down," Natalie said with a sigh. Her only consolation was that the Supermodel competition’s staff were all focused on the competition, and everyone was on a plane that day. They should not have time to pay attention to this live broadcast.
Oliver had already made sure that Natalie did not oppose making their relationship public before making this decision. Since that was the case, everything else was no big deal.
Oliver decided to publicly announce their relationship in the most direct way. This way, those who spread rumors would be silenced, and those who maliciously speculated would not have a chance to gossip.
…
Alas, things did not unfold as Natalie expected.
"Natalie, can I ask you something?"
As soon as Natalie returned to the hotel, she was excitedly stopped by a front desk girl named Doris.
"Please go ahead."
Natalie was familiar with Doris, who was a fan of hers. When Natalie and Oliver checked in at the hotel that morning, Doris recognized her at a glance.
Doris glanced at Oliver and asked mysteriously, "Is this handsome man the one you kissed?"
Not only that, but Doris also made a thumbs-up gesture.
Oliver maintained his indifferent expression; his expression did not change at all when Doris called him 'this handsome man'. It was as though he had nothing to do with this.
Natalie was confused. "How did you know? Did you watch the live stream?"
"Yes," Doris replied, "Fashion is a company invested by an entertainment company in our country and has a great influence in Forinland."
"But shouldn't you be at work during the day?"
Natalie did not care if Doris was focused on her work or not, but Doris was interested in discussing the news that she wanted to talk about least.
