Countless people wanted Sherman's number but could not get it. When Rita got it, all she felt was a heavy burden.
Rita hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Sherman picked up his phone and, upon confirming it was an unknown number, asked, "Telemarketing?"
Sherman's voice sounded like he was about to hang up the next second, but Rita quickly stopped him. "Don't hang up! It's me!"
Recognizing Rita's voice, Sherman chuckled with interest. He leaned back in his office chair. "Ah, Miss Rita, what brings you to call me?"
Somehow, Sherman's voice through the phone made Rita's face flush. "I—I wanted to ask you something, if you don't mind..."
"If you're worried it might be impolite, then perhaps it's best not to ask?"
Rita was anxious, afraid that he might just hang up the phone. However, Sherman had no intention of hanging up; he was simply enjoying teasing her.
"But this is a question I must ask," Rita insisted.
"Miss Rita, you yourself said he used to own it. Why doesn't he have it now? It's because he accepted the developer's offer to move away from there. I don't understand why you're asking me about this. Do you expect me to solve the homeless man's housing problem after hearing his story, or do you think it's my fault he's homeless now?" Sherman replied coldly.
Rita instinctively wanted to deny it. After all, why did she even call Sherman? She just wanted an answer from him to confirm whether he was involved.
"So it really doesn't have anything to do with Parr Group? How could he lose his house if it weren't for Parr Group's development plans?" Rita muttered. She knew she was being spoiled, but she was dealing with Sherman after all.
Sherman's voice sounded indifferent. "Miss Rita, you're quite naive. It seems your father has sheltered you well. But everything should be considered in order. You're being really unreasonable right now. First, there's this land, then there's housing for him. It's because he was willing to give up his original house that this land ended up in the hands of the developer. And I won the bid for this land."

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...
