"Today ends here, thank you everyone who came to watch my live, and also the one who gave me a gift! I really enjoyed talking with all of you. See you tomorrow, bye-bye!"
Live streaming ends.
"Haah ... even though I'm only talking in front of the camera but I'm really tired."
Natalie Malca Moana. A twenty-five year old woman who earns money working as a host on a live streaming app. An application that provides services for talking and is more specifically for the female gender over the age of eighteen. Not only can she talk with many people, but the hosts can play various mini games available there.
And Natalie had been doing it for about two years since she decided to find a job in Chicago.
Natalie took off her coral gold wig and placed it on the table. She also removed the thick make-up that stuck to her face with great care and didn't leave any traces of make-up. Natalie deliberately made her new appearance during the live streaming so that no one would know it was her. Even though she used the name LORETTA, there's no need to ask why he decided on that name. Because, to be honest, Natalie just randomly decided on a name. The most important thing is that she completes the account and can work for the coffers of money from the application.
There are not only one or two live streaming applications, and over the past two years, Natalie has tried various applications until she finally survives in three places with loyal and royal viewers.
This application also not only provides live streaming, but there is a video call service, so users can contact the host they want. Sometimes Natalie does it too, although she live streams more often. That's for one thing. Video calls are prone to sounding more mature. Applications like this are more often used for something vulgar. The first time Natalie tried to make a video call, the first thing she saw was the penis of a man standing as straight as the Empire State Building. Shock, that's for sure. However, the written rule from the agency that oversees her is that she can't end the video call before they do it first.
Natalie was tormented, she couldn't think of what topics she could talk about with the stranger while the other person was at the peak of lust! And what she did was not fully show her face and pointed the camera at the ceiling. Then after that, the call ended, and Natalie temporarily stopped making video calls. Her heart is tormented, really.
Natalie deeply feels how difficult it is to survive in this cruel world of work. Even when it was first live streamed, no one watched it, and it went on for almost two weeks. Natalie wanted to give up, but someone kept encouraging her that she could definitely do a job like this. She is also not the type of person who likes to talk, but because of the demands of the job she has chosen, she is forced to be able to do it. Finally, Natalie is accustomed to the positives and negatives of the job she is currently in.
After everything is done, the next thing on her agenda is to eat the food she ordered an hour ago while watching her favorite Netflix movie.
However, there is one thing that is troubling.
After returning to her original appearance, she sat on the bed looking at the many gifts she received from the people who watched her live stream. There was one name that caught Natalie's attention. An account called Zeus The Lorax has given her the most expensive gift for the past five days. However, she had never actually interacted with the account. , Natalie never saw him even in the chat column.
As if Zeus was just a fan of her secret. She was curious and wanted to thank him directly for the account. However, Zeus has never asked her to talk or contacted Natalie via video call.
"Or should I start first?" Natalie muttered doubtfully, she was still in the middle of wanting to do it or not. Prestige, shame, and fear mixed into one. "Ah, never mind! I'll think about it later, I'd better disburse this gift first for my mother and sister," he continued while processing the disbursement of the gift collection and live streaming that had been carried out for this week. Then without waiting long, Natalie sent half the money to the family in Oklahoma.
The woman had intended to try her luck in Chicago, hoping to find a good, high-paying job to support her family far away. However, not everything will go according to our wishes. Natalie failed most of the interview tests, and even when she got a job, none of them lasted long. Meanwhile, her mother and two younger siblings lived in poverty.
Knock, knock!
"Yes!" Natalie said as she headed for the door to find out who had just knocked on her door. "Oh, Joy! You just got home from work?" Natalie asked her friend who lived next door.
"Yeah, have you eaten? I bought a beer, how about we have a drink together?" Joy offered while showing a shopping bag full of beer cans.
Natalie chuckled amusedly, her friend really likes to drink and she has become a victim of the pleasures of this woman named Joy.
"I was just about to eat, Then I came to your room with my food," Natalie replied.
"Okay, I'll wait!"
Natalie returned to the television room to take her food order which was still neatly wrapped, she finally again thwarted the agenda that had been set and preferred to eat together with Joy. Natalie locked the bedroom door and went into her friend's apartment.
"Aah, I'm really tired! I feel like my body is crushing," Joy complained as she leaned back on the sofa while she sat on the floor in front of her full of food and beer that she had bought on the way home.
"But today went well, right?" Natalie asked, taking a can of beer and starting to sip it.
"Well, nothing special? Haha, everything is monotonous. And you, are you done live streaming?" Joy asked back.
"I just finished it. Well, just like you, I'm tired too. Even if it's only talking in front of the camera for two hours," Kalea replied, as if laughing at herself. For some reason, Natalie's tiredness was nothing compared to Joy's, who had a job at a restaurant. Moreover, Joy is also a host like Natalie.
Yes, it was Joy who informed Natalie of such an application.
Joy told her when Natalie was really desperate for a job, Joy offered to host a job. At first, Natalie hesitated for fear of being thrown into bad things because it was only natural. She had just moved to Chicago and knew nothing about the city, her mother always warned her to take care of herself and not to trust strangers right away. Natalie even thought that she would be made a prostitute in a brothel by Joy, like in the novels she had read. But apparently, the shadow disappeared after knowing the truth.
Um ... even though the application she uses is full of vulgar things. At least she wasn't really peddling her body to a bunch of guys she didn't know at all.
"Joy," Natalie called after considering it, she would try to talk about Zeus's account with Joy.
"Hmm? Why?"
"Actually, lately I've been curious about someone–"
"Oh~ what is this?! A love story?!" Joy asked excitedly.
"W-wait! That's not what I meant, this has to do with my live streaming," Natalie replied, pushing a bit of Joy, who was so excited she almost spilled her drink. "There's one account that keeps giving me gifts."
"Huh? Is that all? What gift did he give you? Aren't you already used to the many men giving you gifts there?" Joy asked, taking another sip of her beer. Her enthusiasm began to drop because the woman's expression had soared, she thought Natalie wanted a story about love.
"Palace shaped gift and that person has been doing it for five days."
Burrfhh!!
"What the heck are you doing, Joy?!" Natalie screamed hysterically, the food she ordered was hit by a spray of her friend's beer.
"Oh my gosh! Sorry, I'll change! I was really surprised, not at all on purpose!" Joy panicked too.
"No, it's fine," Natalie replied, even though she wished Joy could help her, but just in the early stages, Joy is already this excited.
"No, I ordered it. So, who gave you that expensive gift?" Joy asked back on the topic.
"I don't know, because he never interacted with me."
"You've never seen him in the chat column?"
Natalie shook her head. "Never, really."
"You must be very curious, huh?" Joy teased narrowing her eyes.
"I-I just want to thank him, really," Natalie evaded, but that also included her purpose of being curious about the person behind the Zeus account.
"Then just take a video call!" Joy suggested, Natalie had thought about it before.
"I started it?" Natalie asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, you said he never interacted with you, right? But he immediately gave you the most expensive gift. I'm sure that person actually intends to steal your attention," Joy guessed very confidently. "Nat, don't let your fans run away because you ignored them. There's nothing wrong with starting first. You want to thank him, don't you?" Joy continued to convince her friend.
Natalie was silent for a moment, slowly confirming what Joy had said. Yes, it shouldn't be a problem.
It looks like she's going to give it a try.
