Chapter 783 You're not allowed to kiss me today!
"What is it?" Oliver instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist.
"This country is the organizer of Supermodel. There are many viewers from Forinland. Won't the Norton family find out about this?" Natalie asked.
"They don't watch live streams."
Natalie sighed in relief but then heard Oliver say, "However, Lilian might watch. She would probably enthusiastically tell Isaiah and Maddison about it."
Natalie remembered the name Isaiah. He was Lilian's father.
"Maddison is..." Natalie started to guess.
"Maddison is my aunt," Oliver explained.
It did not really matter if those unimportant people knew that she and Oliver kissed. After all, they would not dare to offend Oliver. However, Natalie knew that Isaiah and Maddison were different.
"Oliver, you're so annoying!"
Natalie was angry, but she knew that it was not entirely Oliver's fault. However, if she did not vent her anger, she would feel uncomfortable.
After thinking for a while, she came up with a way to punish Oliver.
"You're not allowed to kiss me today and tomorrow. You're so annoying!"
Oliver chuckled softly, his deep laughter echoing in the room. "Honey, why are you so cute?"
Natalie did not say anything. Inwardly, she thought to herself, 'Cute?! Who’s cute? How dare you mock me!'
She was too angry.
…
Natalie stayed in the suite and did not want to go out until she had to attend a meeting with the five mentors of Supermodel.
"What's wrong, dear?"
Natalie had a good relationship with Cocker. She had been waiting outside the elevator on the top floor since morning.
Natalie waved her hand.
"Did you and your husband not sleep last night?" Cocker teased.
"What are you thinking? No!" Natalie shook her head helplessly.
She had vomited after breakfast, probably because of the chicken she had. Fortunately, the chef had prepared oatmeal for her, and after having some oatmeal and fruits, she finally felt full. Then, she took the medicine prescribed by the doctor and did not feel nauseous anymore.
"Did you hear any news?" Natalie asked, thinking about the incident during the livestream yesterday, unsure if the organizers were aware.
"What news? Oh, are you talking about your kiss with Oliver during the livestream?" Cocker asked playfully, "Everyone knows about it now, darling. How could I possibly not know?"
"Who exactly is 'everyone'?" Natalie asked, clinging to a thread of hope.
Cocker pondered before replying, "The news has already taken over several social media platforms."
Natalie felt a suffocating despair.
"Oliver seemed so aloof. I didn’t expect him to be so affectionate in private with you! How exciting!" Cocker also yearned for such a sweet and thrilling love.
Natalie could not help but ask, "Have you read too many online novels?"
Cocker shrugged, not admitting it. Although some online novel plots were simple, they were quite entertaining. Happiness was what mattered most.
"Who's behind all these tricks this time? Do I know them? Can you tell me?"
"You do know them, but it's best if you don't get involved."
In any case, Nola and the Norton family were involved. Cocker was just an ordinary bourgeois, not a match for the Norton family.
…
The meeting determined the final details of the Supermodel global finals. The mentors' tasks were similar to before. However, besides mentoring, the mentors also needed to showcase themselves at the finals. Natalie, Cocker, and another male model who replaced Joseph would need to walk the runway, as was customary.
Overall, the meeting was relaxed.
Perhaps the atmosphere was too relaxed. Natalie felt like everyone was intentionally or unintentionally looking at her. Some people openly stared at her, while others peeked discreetly.
As the meeting was about to conclude, the executive director turned to Natalie and asked, "Natalie, we still need a male model to open the show. Is your lover willing to take the stage?"
Natalie was stunned. She had not expected her and Oliver to be discussed in such a formal meeting.
The executive director showed great interest in Oliver, saying, "Actually, I've noticed your lover for a while now. His conditions are exceptional. If he enters this industry, he'll be more popular than Joseph. He'll be the future star of your country's male modeling scene."
Cocker knew Oliver's background and could not help but think, 'Oliver wouldn't want to be the future star of the modeling industry. He has always been the future star of the business world. He's already so outstanding now!'
"Sorry, he probably wouldn't want to take the stage."
Natalie understood Oliver well. He had a high profile because he was exceptionally talented and could not hide it, but he did not like drawing attention to himself.
"Natalie, think about it again. I can arrange a couple of outfits for you two. Our competition is also broadcast globally; this is another opportunity for you to showcase your love to the world," the executive producer suggested, hoping to persuade her, "Opportunities like this are rare. Don't miss it."
"I didn't intend to showcase our love. What happened yesterday was an accident," Natalie replied firmly.
However, the others did not seem to believe Natalie’s explanation.
Natalie firmly rejected the director's proposal again. Later, Cocker reminded the fashion show director that Natalie's lover would be in the best seat in the house. Only influential figures could sit in that position.
With that, the director finally gave up on the idea of having Oliver walk the runway, thinking to himself regretfully, 'This man has such good conditions. He was born to be a model. Why isn't he slightly lacking in another field? In that case, he would have to be a model. What a pity!'
Everyone became even more interested in Natalie's lover. After spending half a month together, they learned that Natalie was well-mannered and easy to get along with, as long as they did not offend her. Naturally, they could not help but ask her about her lover.
Someone even asked, "Natalie, why don’t you invite your lover to dinner with us?"
