The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2774

"Then I guess I really don't have anything to worry about. I believe Virgil will be happy to hear this news," said Rita, crossing her arms and giving the appearance of agreeing to no longer get involved in the matter.

However, Sherman knew she would not give up that easily.

"Let me remind you one more time, Miss Rita: don't try to secretly investigate that developer. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you if anything happens," warned Sherman seriously, and Rita could not help but nod obediently.

"Alright, you've made yourself clear. How could I possibly take such risks? Well, I've asked all the questions I wanted to ask. Since you've given your answers, that's that," said Rita, getting up and swiftly packing her materials into her bag.

Sherman remained seated, unable to suppress a soft chuckle. It had been a long time since he had seen someone take the initiative to leave before him. Only Rita would dare to do such a thing. Just as she was about to leave, Rita suddenly turned back with a smile.

"What?" Sherman was a bit puzzled.

"You may not be aware, but when you're feeling guilty, you always unconsciously rub your fingertips. Glad to have made this discovery. Goodbye."

Rita left without looking back, leaving Sherman alone to ponder the meaning of her parting words.

Rita left the cafe feeling refreshed. Even though Sherman's response was not pleasant to hear, she believed she had received her answer.

At least she knew that when this man helped her, it was sincere, not because of any cooperation with her family's company or to save face for her father.

As she sat in her car, she accidentally caught sight of her flushed cheeks in the rearview mirror. Her face was so hot that it could fry an egg. Rita buried her head in the steering wheel, unable to contain her laughter.

Sherman put on a gentle smile. "What's up? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

"Nothing much. Can't I call you? Anyway, there's a new movie out recently starring my favorite actor. Will you go with me to watch it?"

Claire's excitement was evident in her voice, but Sherman hesitated. "With your current popularity, won't you be recognized if we go out?"

Claire pursed her lips. "I'm not that famous. The interview from last time hasn't even been released yet. Even if I walk down the street now, no one will recognize me. So, will you go with me or not?"

Listening to Claire's voice, Sherman could imagine her pouting. In the end, he nodded. "Alright, I'll go with you. But don't come crying to me if any unflattering photos of us are taken."
