"You can just buy the photos. There are many ways to handle it. Alright, it's settled then. You'll pick me up tomorrow."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Sherman could not help but sigh. Despite being close friends with Claire, they always seemed unable to progress further. He knew he had always harbored some resentment over that issue. They were just destined to stay as they were.
Claire hung up the phone, her smile fading. She turned to her agent with a cold expression. "Are the paparazzi arranged for tomorrow?"
"Everything's arranged, but are you sure about this? Mister Sherman will be angry if he's caught by the paparazzi. None of his photos have ever been put up online before..."
Serena hesitated before adding, "Won't this push him further away?"
"What do you know? You don't understand him at all. I just want to give him a little pressure. He's the type that takes one step back whenever I take one step to him. I know he still minds about what happened back then, but it's been so long! And there's nothing wrong with getting some exposure; it'll help boost my popularity. By the way, what about the interview from last time? Why hasn't the draft been sent over yet? That female reporter isn't very efficient, is she?"
Serena quickly replied, "Someone from New Capital Times contacted me, saying that to show their sincerity, they've assigned a more experienced reporter to write this article. So it took some time during the handover. Don't worry, they definitely won't neglect you."
…
Before heading home, Sherman received another message from his grandmother, causing him to smile wryly.
Ever since the topic of marriage was brought up at the dinner table last time, his grandmother seemed to be afraid he would forget about it. She reminded him of it every few days.
He would not mind getting married at his age if he had someone special, but he did not have anyone. He also did not want to let another person restrict his freedom.
Sherman did not respond, but at the same time, he thought of another person. They had met several times, and each time, Rita had arrived early at the agreed-upon place. Sherman wondered if it was because of her profession.
As Sherman and Claire made their way to the cinema, Rita was secretly investigating the developer. The more she dug, the more surprised she became.
Rita discovered that the people behind the developers were intricately connected to Sadie's family.
"Esmond Parr? That name sounds so familiar..."
Rita felt like she had seen this person somewhere before, but due to Sadie's delicate situation, Karen had been very cautious and had not introduced Rita to the people in her family.
"Where have I heard of this person before, then?"

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...
