Serena opened a bottle of mineral water and inserted a straw before handing it to Claire's lips. "Listening to you talk with that reporter just now, I thought you were the kind of young person who stands up for the entire dance industry. Even I, a cold-hearted woman, wanted to applaud you."
Claire glanced at her indifferently. "What? Are you saying that my acting was too fake?"
"No, I'm praising you. But I'm still curious, why did you choose an unknown reporter? I mean, there were so many reputable reporters fighting to interview you, yet you turned them all down, saying you were waiting for a more opportune time. The way I see it, Rita is a newcomer in the industry. She doesn't even have much influence in New Capital Times. Aren't you lowering your standards by letting her interview you?"
Claire touched up her lipstick and smirked disdainfully. "It's true that Rita doesn't have much influence to interview me, and her status doesn't quite match mine. But she is a Russell, which makes her have the highest status among the reporters who wanted to interview me. Believe me when I say she'll do her best to publish the interview today. And the way she got excited about what I said just now, she'll definitely put a lot of effort into following my news. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone? We won't even need to worry about how to promote me after this."
Serena nodded thoughtfully. "But what about your last answer about your criteria for choosing a partner? Won't Mister Sherman be angry if he hears about it?"
Mentioning Sherman finally brought a different expression to Claire's face, beyond her usual aloofness. She coquettishly whined, "That's exactly my plan! I want to make him jealous so that he won't think I don't have any other choice than him. Plenty of other men want to date me."
"But no matter how outstanding those men are, you only have eyes for Mister Sherman." Serena chuckled. "Actually, asking Mister Sherman to help with your publicity should be a piece of cake for him."
"You don't know him. He'd never consider those women."
Claire was confident of that. After all, in all these years, he had never been close to any other woman besides herself. Otherwise, she would not dare to waste time and play around with him.
Claire had two reasons to accept Rita's interview. One, Rita was her best choice at that moment, and two, she wanted to shake Sherman's sense of security.

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...
