Rita found the whole thing suspicious. It was her first time interviewing with the social organization, and it was a completely different experience from interviewing celebrities. The cases handled by the social organization were usually closely related to the lives of ordinary people. Sometimes, they would also have to deal with unbearable and horrific cases.
Nevertheless, Rita preferred dealing with these people.
She would fight until the end for justice if it was true that the man's family had been forcibly occupied by unscrupulous developers. While her other colleagues were busy exploring the environment, Rita squatted in front of the man again with her pen and notebook in hand.
"Hello, my name is Rita Russell. I'm a rookie reporter for New Capital Times. I'd like to know more about your situation. Would you be willing to accept an interview?"
The man glanced at her, and only then did Rita notice that he was crying. His face was so dirty that the tears left two obvious white trails down his cheeks.
"You..."
"Get lost! You reporters and those heartless developers are all the same! Go away, I don't want to see any of you." The man mercilessly spat on the ground in front of Rita, causing her to gasp and stagger back.
"Why you!"
"Huh! Get lost, all of you! You good-for-nothing reporters only know how to exploit other people's pain for money! Get lost, I say!"
Rita kept stepping back, shocked and unsure of how to react. The man's tears left her speechless, her silence deafening. However, she was well aware that if the man continued to refuse cooperation, he would only briefly appear in the online news headlines, soon to be drowned out by the vast sea of information.
"Chase, have you finished writing your interview article? If you haven't, then shut your mouth and get writing. And if you have, then go out to the scene more often so you won't have to resort to using others' materials in the end!"
The rest of the colleagues dared not utter a word. They had long gotten tired of Chase. He always lorded the fact that he had been in the job longer than them and used that to appropriate their materials. Even their boss could not control him, and the situation often ended up with them having to hand over their hard-earned interviews.
All in all, Chase was the worst reporter to have ever graced the industry.
However, no matter how unhappy they were, they could only grumble inwardly. After all, apart from his seniority, they also needed to take Chase's family background into consideration. He was not someone ordinary people could afford to offend. Just as he himself said, he would only need to say a word to get them fired and for no other companies to ever hire them again.
Needless to say, all the reporters there hated Chase, but they loved the journalism profession even more.

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...
