The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2673

"But I—I…" Rita stuttered. She was so angry that her mind went blank. "Clearly, it was you who lacked manners first by taking my seat and then blaming me! If I lacked manners, why would I buy front-row tickets? I did my research before coming here, okay? Unlike you, who thinks yourself civilized just because you're wearing those glasses. You're no better than a brute!"

As the lights dimmed throughout the venue, Sherman knew it was entering the countdown phase. He no longer wanted to resume bickering with the annoying woman beside him.

"Miss, I don't know how you came to believe this was your seat, but maybe you should check your ticket again," said Sherman.

There was no way it was his mistake since Claire had reserved that seat for him.

"Why you! I've double-checked multiple times. It's you who made the mistake. You're sitting in 008, right?"

The number held a special significance between Sherman and Claire, and the repeated mention of it by this woman made him furious.

He stood up, his imposing figure causing Rita to take two steps back.

"What are you doing? I'll let you know that we live in a lawful society! You were in the wrong first. Even if we end up at the police station, the officers will be on my side. I'll also hire a lawyer to defend my rights. Don't you dare lay a hand on me—"

She screamed, and some people around them cast disapproving glances. Sherman simply pulled her forcefully into the seat beside him.

"Perhaps you should consider if you bought fake tickets from scalpers. You claim to have done so much research, yet you dare to make someone with genuine tickets leave?"

Sherman's expression remained relatively unchanged, but the mockery in his eyes made Rita blush. "Watch what you're saying? I can well afford the thousand dollars to buy a front-row seat! The seat you're in is mine!"

Even Rita found herself intrigued. Claire was undoubtedly one of the top figures in contemporary dance with international newspapers once describing her as a graceful swan. This high praise reflected just how highly regarded Claire was in the dance community.

Rita wondered what kind of grace and elegance this 'swan' would display on stage to be able to captivate so many fans. Front-row tickets had been scalped for thousands, even tens of thousands, indicating just how far people were willing to pay for the best view. It had been a long time since Rita had seen such an enticing female dancer in the country.

Rita would have something to show for her efforts if she could secure an interview with Claire. After all, while Claire was a standout dancer, she was also known for her modesty and reluctance to do interviews. Previous attempts to reach out to her through her agent had been rejected, so Rita was hoping to try her luck at the performance.

However, she had not expected to encounter such an unlucky situation. Rita gave Sherman a faint eye roll, but he seemed completely oblivious as his attention was fully focused on the stage.

'Hm, he really seems to enjoy contemporary dance…' thought Rita.
