“Miss Rita, is there anything else you're unclear about?" Sherman asked, feeling somewhat impatient for some reason.
He tugged at his tie irritably. He was not used to explaining himself, and Rita's questioning made him particularly intolerant.
Initially, he had not paid much attention to the matter involving the homeless man. As the company president of Parr Group, if he had to deal with every person claiming to have lost their home on the land he was about to develop, he would not have enough hours in the day.
However, Rita's questions and doubts made him feel uneasy.
"I'm sorry. Perhaps I shouldn't have made this call, and I shouldn't have asked you this question. I didn't mean to doubt you. I just want to find out the truth. I want to know why the homeless man is wandering here alone, claiming that...that you've ruined his life," Rita apologized hesitantly.
"Miss Rita, you're indeed straightforward. But sometimes, it's better to understand the truth before asking me. Just like when you got the seating wrong when we first met."
Rita scoffed and retorted stubbornly, "I didn't get the seating wrong that day!"
Sherman chuckled lightly, but to Rita, his laughter sounded like distrust.
"I've explained it to you many times that I didn't sit in the wrong seat. Perhaps you should ask Miss Claire if she made a mistake in arranging the seating."
Sherman asked in a tone of feigned confusion, "Miss Rita, why are you so angry? After all, I didn't get this angry when you're wrongly accusing me of something."
Lucy found this a bit odd. After all, such a trivial matter did not usually require Sherman's attention. He had passed on the issue before, so why was he suddenly calling Walter back?
However, she did not show any signs of surprise on her face. She simply agreed and quickly summoned Walter. Within three minutes, he was at the door of Sherman's office.
"Have a seat," said Sherman.
Walter brought up the previous issue as soon as he sat down. "Mister Sherman, I heard you wanted to talk about the issue I brought up last time. Do you have any new instructions?"
Those in public relations were sensitive to potential negative news, but their concerns were futile if the higher-ups did not care. Ultimately, if there was a problem, it would be up to the PR department to resolve it, so it was good that Sherman was finally paying attention to the matter.

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...
