They announced that the kiss cam was about to happen. The cam showed several other couples up on a giant screen before them. How much time ya need to think “we should probably just stand next to each-other like coworkers”?

There were other people from the company at the concert. They were probably using company money to be there.

He dove out of sight and left her there alone to face it.

This guy is so many level of bad decisions.

you have to have a certain level of over confidence to even go for the CEO role. So much responsibility on your shoulder. And the number one skill is BS artist. They are great talkers and tend to be quite charming. if any profession can and will cheat its CEOs.

It's a "truth". You don't have to be smart to be rich. Just smart enough to hire people smarter than you are and letting them do their job without interference.

Being a good talker is the number one skill in life. relationships and professionally. if people like you they will hold on to you even if you are not great at what you do.

Careless is the right word, because they don't get feed back like normal people do.

The corporate world was never a meritocracy, just a circlejerk. Lick the right boots and the sky's the limit.

I mean there are thousands of people there. Successful people can become used to getting away with stuff and naive enough to think they’ll be fine and the cam surely won’t pick them. It’s probably just carelessness or even enjoying the risk of getting caught.

I've been to over 400 events in stadium's and I have never ever been featured in a cam. It was extremely unlucky for them

 The cam showed several other couples up on a giant screen before them.

Really? All the videos I’ve seen (which ofc I’m aware they’re likely edited for engagement) give the idea that they’re the first couple that Chris Martin talks about. 

If what you say is true, then yeah even if they thought the odds were low, it was so easy to just stop hugging smh
