As Rita observed Sherman's focused expression, she could not help but wonder if his interest was genuine. The fact that this man claimed the seat was reserved for him by Claire raised some doubts in her mind.
'Are they in a romantic relationship?'
The thought surprised Rita. It was not entirely implausible. The fact that he was able to get Claire to reserve a seat for him hinted at his significance. What luck, she had stumbled upon such a big story!
Her colleagues would surely be in awe of her if she were to bring this news back. It was totally a headline-worthy scoop!
With a plan forming in her mind, Rita decided to start with this man beside her. Perhaps he could serve as a breakthrough point.
As the music started, Claire gracefully glided onto the stage from the left side like a graceful swan. Even Rita could not resist holding her breath, overwhelmed by the visual impact Claire's performance had on her, which surpassed anything she had seen in online videos.
"Oh, my..." she exclaimed, and the surrounding audience did the same. At that moment, she could not help but observe the expression on Sherman's face, only to see a slight smile curling up at the corners of his mouth.
'Oh, so he does know how to smile!' thought Rita. She had thought he had a poker face.
He seemed genuinely proud of Claire, which made Rita even more convinced of their relationship.
Having studied abroad and attended numerous theaters and Broadway performances, Rita had experienced her fair share of stage productions. Thus, even though Claire's performance had left a strong impression on her, it was only fleeting.
Afterward, she did not show much excitement. However, it was understandable that such a talented dancer was being highly praised in the country, where good dancers were rare.
Claire's graceful movements were sharp and precise, but the length of her arm did not seem particularly advantageous, making some of her movements appear somewhat awkward.
At that moment, the staff asked again, "Miss Claire, there's a reporter named Rita Bourne waiting to interview you. She's from New Capital Times. Would you like to see her?"
New Capital Times was a top-tier newspaper in the country, originally focusing only on mainstream interviews. However, with the rise of online media, it had transformed itself and by expanding into the entertainment sector.
It would be excellent to be featured in this publication since it would be beneficial for their publicity.
Claire was even smiling as she glanced lightly at the staff and said, "You should know my style."
The staff quickly lowered their head. "I'm sorry."
He simply felt that forgoing an interview with New Capital Times would be a shame.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
