Chapter 788 Public Relations
"I know Natalie speaks English and French, but she also speaks German?"
"She'll be translating on the go. Isn't she being too arrogant?"
"I think she'll embarrass herself."
"That's right. Translating on-the-go is like having two independent language systems working at the same time. It's quite difficult!"
Natalie took a deep breath before she picked up the microphone, signaling that Mr. Smith could start speaking.
As the old man's weathered German voice came through the microphone, almost in the next second, a pleasant female voice also emerged.
The whole process went very smoothly.
The German voice was quieter, and the English voice translated by Natalie was louder.
People in the audience who understood German were shocked to find that Natalie's interpretation was accurate, without any mistakes.
When Mr. Smith finished speaking, Natalie finished her English translation almost simultaneously.
Mr. Smith smiled with satisfaction and could not help but give Natalie a thumbs-up from the mentor's seat. He said to Natalie in German, "Natalie, you're fantastic. Thank you!"
"It's my honor to be able to help." Natalie stood up and gracefully bowed.
There was a moment of silence, followed by thunderous applause throughout the venue.
Cheers erupted for Natalie's excellent translation!
Cocker exclaimed in a surprised whisper, "Natalie, you're amazing! Nola must be furious now, regretting the fact that she gave you a chance to shine! Hahaha!"
Natalie looked at Nola on the side of the stage.
Nola gritted her teeth, and her eyes were filled not only with disbelief but also with unwillingness! How could Natalie even do simultaneous translation? Based on her knowledge, Natalie did not study German in college.
After the mentors gave their comments, it was time for the Q&A session with the reporters.
Sure enough, the first ten minutes were filled with normal questions. But after that, the reporters and audience could not hold back their curiosity and all of them stared intently at Natalie.
"Natalie, I have a personal question to ask. Could you tell us who your lover is? Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to intrude on your privacy. I heard that he’s very handsome with looks that rival a top model!"
The reporter was obviously an experienced and well-informed person.
Natalie hesitated for a moment and instinctively looked toward the VIP seat where Oliver was sitting, suddenly feeling uneasy.
The large screen in the venue showed Natalie’s face, and each of her expressions was captured by the cameras. The cameraman followed her line of sight and zoomed in on the VIP seat.
Everyone immediately noticed Oliver sitting in the front row. His appearance and temperament were too outstanding.
Moreover, while others were looking around, confused, he remained calm. Instead of looking around, he calmly looked at Natalie in the mentor's seat. His expression was extremely gentle at this moment.
"Wow!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
The discussion grew louder.
Even the other people in the VIP seats all looked at this unfamiliar face. They had been wondering who he was before.
"Natalie?" the reporter urged with a smile.
Natalie said, "Tonight is the night of the competition, and I feel it's better not to waste time by discussing my private matters."
Suddenly, a female voice shouted excitedly from the audience, "No! We want to know!"
Following that, multiple people chimed in one after another.
"Natalie! Natalie!"
"We want to know about private matters!"
"Yes! We want to know!"
Most of the people shouting were young people.
Supermodel was an inclusive show. Except for the runway shows and mentor rating segments, everything else was quite casual. There was even someone who sat barefoot on the judge's seat before. Therefore, it was not something out of the ordinary for reporters to ask unrelated questions at the competition site.
Of course, the most important thing was that Natalie's live broadcast a few days ago was already well-known within the industry.
Moreover, since they had already gone through the professional segment, it was not a big problem for reporters and the audience to ask questions freely during the Q&A session.
Indeed, curiosity is a natural human trait.
When everyone noticed that Natalie had not spoken for a long time, they shifted the focus of their questions.
"Mister in the east seat of the VIP section! May I ask what your relationship with Natalie is?!"
"Sir! May I ask if you were the person who kissed Natalie in the livestream that day?!"
"May I ask if you came specifically to see Natalie?!"
"Please answer our questions!"
When people continued shouting questions, the cameraman switched the lens between Natalie and Oliver, waiting for either of them to speak.
It was unknown how these people could make such loud noises, considering they clearly did not have microphones.
"These people have quite the courage to force Oliver to speak," Cocker whispered to Natalie.
"Probably because they're ignorant." Natalie rubbed her forehead and wondered how to put this topic to an end. However, it was obvious that if she or Oliver did not give these people an answer, it would be difficult to end this topic.
'Seriously, why would they arrange such a segment in a competition?'
Natalie felt for the first time that the production team of the Supermodel segment was really unreasonable!
Just as Natalie was thinking about how to deceive the audience, Oliver, who had always been calm, suddenly reached out his hand.
Soon, someone understood what he meant and handed him a microphone.
Before Natalie had time to think about what he wanted to do, a man's deep and pleasant voice sounded in her ears. He sounded gentlemanly when he spoke, but his words were domineering.
"I'm Oliver. The person in the live stream is me. Yes, I came here to see Natalie specifically. She's my lover. Do you have any other questions? If so, ask another day. This matter is over."
After Oliver finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.
Even the cameraman forgot to switch angles and kept pointing the camera at Oliver.
Oliver put the microphone aside and sat down with no intention of speaking again.
