[UNCONFIRMED] Oli reportedly dating a non-celebrity. Waiting for confirmation from agency

A source close to the couple reveals LuvByte member Oli and girlfriend have been going out for over a year

Denied. Oli sat in the boardroom, having been denied of his request to leave the same time as the other band members. Yes, even his bandmate Sam, whom he had asked to remain—who usually stayed when there were things left to discuss—was denied by their manager, Norah. She was sitting at the other end of the table next to David, her co-manager.

Sam gave Oli a squeeze on the shoulder, the best he could do considering the denial, before heading for the door.

Oli knew what was coming—the phones had been blowing up since this morning. And it wasn’t because they had a teaser out for the next album.

Oli tilted his head as he met Norah’s eyes, a slow smile forming on his lips.

Don’t you smile at me. Norah smirked.

Why not?

Who’s this close source?

He shrugged. It could be anyone, really. His social circles were too small, and it was no secret within their industry that sometimes the part-time stylists and staff turn into these sources for extra bucks. Not saying that they fabricate things—most of what they said were true anyway, or sometimes taken out of context, given that they were only close to the celebrity in proximity, but not in relation.

We can confirm that your nickname is Honey.

He let out a laugh, and the sound reverberated through the cold room. He didn’t like boardrooms, had always connected it to serious business meetings with the big label guys. Oli worked better in studios, spending late nights producing music not just for the group, but for his friends too. It was the work he liked best, and if the day ever came that he wouldn’t be on stage anymore (although of course he preferred to be on it for as long as he could), he wanted to remain behind the boards, creating with his peers. He loved the conversations he had around music, about music, loved when they finally reached harmony, when things fell into place perfectly.

I call you Honey, David chimed in.

Maybe you’re my girlfriend, David, Oli teased. Can we tell them David’s my girlfriend?

Norah made a face. Management’s gonna ask me soon.

Aren’t you the management? He put air quotes around the last word. Norah was management; she’d been kicking their butts since they started working three years ago. But she also had been with them through all of the tours, press cons, mall shows, concerts, and shoots. So she’s also
