"It's dangerous for you to be out here alone. Next time, try to avoid taking on such field investigations."
Rita smiled shyly. She knew they were only looking out for her, but she believed she was capable of doing what they did and was not planning on taking their advice.
She certainly felt warmer after finishing her cup of instant noodles. She moved closer to the senior reporter and asked, "Mister, this is my first time on such a task. May I know how I should go about it to ensure success?"
The others looked somewhat surprised. "This is your first time? How come you don't have someone more senior accompanying you? Which media outlet are you from?"
"Well, they all didn't want to continue the investigation. But I didn't want to give up, so I came alone," Rita explained hesitantly.
The other reporters nodded in understanding.
"I was just like you when I started, full of enthusiasm. I let nothing get past me and investigated every little detail. But that's all in the past. Even if your colleagues aren't willing to stake out here, they shouldn't have let you come alone. You should've had someone with you, at least for safety."
"Got it. I won't put myself in position again. Thanks for the advice."
Rita nodded repeatedly as the other reporters opened up the conversation.
Even so, they still could not say for certain which side was at fault, as the evidence they had was too scant. To make matters worse, the homeless man refused to tell his side of the story.
"Well, to be honest, we're not sure either. The only way we'll know for certain is if that man is willing to give his side of the story. At least then we'll have some lead to go on. Otherwise, it'll be impossible for us to uncover the truth now that this land is under Sherman's control and bears Parr Group's name."
Rita asked softly, "Are you implying that there's some foul play involved and that Sherman is the one behind it? And that's why it's so hard to find evidence?"
The reporter coughed. "Ahem! You shouldn't openly say such things. You'll be in big trouble if anyone hears and reports it to Sherman. Your journalism career might end before it even starts."

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...
