What Did You Say?

"Oh, I see ..." L said, nodding. She still hadn't given up even though London replied to her questions curtly. She asked him again. "Have you read the news lately?"

At first, London wanted to lie and say no, but finally, he chose to be honest.

"Yes, I did read a number of articles ... and videos," he said.

"I have nothing to do with Kitaro," L said suddenly. London looked up in surprise at L's urgent tone. "In the interview video - when he said that he likes me, I actually wanted to make a video to counter it... but Pammy and all the bosses at Brilliant Mind Media said that being rumored as Kitaro's love interest would be good for my career. Evidently the popularity index today shows that my popularity is rising so high and my music sells more..."

London tried to refrain from snorting. He also knew that, so he didn't block all the gossip about Kitaro and L. That alone made him quite upset today. Now he had to hear the same thing from the girl.
