"I don't know why you're so biased against her. She interviewed you and spent time with you. Shouldn't you know better than me what kind of person she is?"
"It's precisely because she had interviewed me before that I know how unreliable she is. We've been working together for almost half a month, and she hasn't even submitted a draft to me. Do you think that's the action of a reliable reporter?
"Sherman, I have my reasons for saying what I said about Rita. If she were really as good as you say, why would she be so careless about her work? The fact is that she's just a spoiled girl who relies on her father. Now that you've appeared in her life, of course she'll try to please you for her father's sake."
Sherman instinctively wanted to defend Rita. She worked so hard on her interviews and materials; it was impossible for her not to submit any drafts for so long. Perhaps there were other issues with the handover of work.
However, when he met Claire's gaze, he suddenly did not want to say anything. He knew he would only dig himself deeper into the hole. Nothing he said would matter if Claire had made up her mind about Rita's character.
He no longer felt like watching the movie. If possible, he just wanted to leave.
Claire gazed at him with her big, teary eyes, and tried to persuade him further. "Don't you remember the first time she lied to you about getting the seat I reserved for you? How can such a habitual liar be straightforward?"
"Alright, let's stop talking about her. We came here to watch a movie, didn't we?"
Sherman's tone was flat. He really did not want to continue discussing Rita with Claire. However, when Claire persisted, his voice suddenly became serious. "We came here to watch a movie. There's no need to discuss her anymore."
"You—fine, fine, let's not talk about it. Let's go upstairs." Claire also sensed Sherman's impatience and subconsciously softened her tone.
However, behind Sherman's back, she could not help but bite her lip tightly.
'How could that woman catch his eye? How did she make him see her differently?' thought Claire.
Meanwhile, Rita deliberately stayed at home longer than usual. She wanted to test Karen.
The Russell family had always valued silence at the dinner table, but Rita rarely came back to eat with them, so Vince was happy to have more interaction with his daughter.
"Dad, have you heard of someone named Esmond Parr?"
Karen's hand, which was holding a fork, trembled. She dropped the spoon onto the table. The impact made a crisp sound.
Vince turned to her, looking puzzled. "Ah, sorry. I accidentally dropped the spoon. Pansy, could you please bring me another one?"

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...
