Chapter 824 - The Press Conference (1/2)
The Brilliant Mind Media building was already full of journalists for L's press conference. This was the first time the girl had opened up to respond to all the rumors that had been attacking her so far.
Usually, L was always closed and kept her private life private. She never wanted to refute nor confirm any gossip circulating about her. This made many people very curious. Now, they wanted to know what L had to say in response to the latest scandal that she was married to her childhood fiance and had a child with him.
The press conference was also broadcasted live through the Virconnect space. Since L was a Virconnect ambassador, the event caught the attention of many users. They already knew that all the artists representing Virconnect were famous artists with a good reputation, so this scandal made them wonder whether L will lose her contract or not.
”Everyone, welcome. Thank you for taking the time to listen to what we have to say about the scandal that recently circulated regarding our very important artist.” Patricia Loew, Public Relations Director for Brilliant Mind Media, raised her hand and gave a signal to the audience to be quiet because she was about to start the press conference. ”I'll give Pammy the time to discuss the most recent scandal, and then we will hear L's response directly.”
Everyone present suddenly became quiet and focused on the table in front where Patricia Loew, Pammy, L, and two male members of Brilliant Mind Media's top management were sitting.
”Thank you, Patricia. I'll just start and discuss it quickly because, from the beginning, L didn't consider those rumors important. Okay ...” Pammy glanced at L. After seeing L nodded in agreement, Pammy took out her tablet and checked the list of gossips circulating online about L. ”Let's discuss the first rumor. L is rumored to be in contact with many men. L, is that true?”
L shook her head. ”No. I'm still very young and have never been in a relationship with anyone ... until last year.”
Instantly the atmosphere turn buzzing with people talking with each other. L indirectly said that since last year she had been in contact with a man. But who? The girl had never openly acknowledged being in a relationship with anyone.
”All right. Now, the second rumor. You were said to be in a relationship with Kitaro from the Rainfall band. How do you respond to it?” Pammy asked again, reading the second gossip on her tablet.
L shook her head again. ”Kitaro is a good friend of mine. We have worked a lot together, making music. A few months ago, we also toured together because I opened for their concerts in Europe. Kitaro is a very good person, and he doesn't deserve to be involved in a cheap gossip that would ruin his name.”
The girl's eyes glared as she looked at the camera. ”Kitaro, I'm sorry. You became involved in this gossip.”
The audience was buzzing again. This second rumor was also denied by L. Then, who was the man that she claimed to have a relationship with since last year? They couldn't wait to hear the answer.
London, who had just arrived at the Brilliant Mind Media building, rushed into the press conference room and slipped in between the crowds near the door. He watched L's expression almost without blinking. His wife looked exhausted and London understood how the quiet and introverted girl most hated crowds, especially people who were hungry for gossip about her.
He understood why L always strictly kept her private life private and never responded to any gossip before. If it wasn't for that, London would have gone forward and admitted to the world that L was his wife. However, he could only stand behind and provide support from afar.
He could imagine the uproar if they found out she was married to London Schneider. All her achievements and talents would be buried under the shadows of Schneider family's name because people would think she could be who she was now thanks to the support of her husband.
”Alright ... is that clear? Now, let's move on to go to the next gossip.” Pammy continued reading from her tablet. ”L was rumored to be pregnant and give birth a few months ago. Is that true?”
She turned to L, who looked at all the journalists and nodded firmly.
