The attendant continued, "You can't bring money to the afterlife, right? The only way to make the money yours is to spend it on things you like. I can assure you that our services will not let you down."
Since Sherman insisted on an expensive room, Rita had no choice but to agree. "Fine, but I'll let you know that I won't hesitate to file a complaint if your service doesn't meet our expectations. I won't let my man waste his money," she cautioned in a voice dripping with sweetness. It was unsettling despite having a charming demeanor.
"Of course, Miss," the attendant assured her before muttering into a walkie-talkie to inform her colleagues that room A118 would be prepared for them. Moments later, a male staff member took over the attendant's duties.
"Come with me," ushered the male attendant.
Rita leaned toward Sherman and whispered in a tone loud enough for the male attendant in front of them to her, "Babe, where do you think he's taking us? I feel like we're going in circles. It's making me dizzy."
The male attendant turned around with a smile. "You've requested for the highest-tier VIP room, so we've arranged for a room that's on the inside to enhance your VIP experience. We'll be there in a moment."
Sherman subtly exchanged glances with Rita as they walked. She appeared puzzled, and he could not shake off a sense of unease either. The walkways that they were led down to resembled a maze, and it seemed that they were being led deeper and deeper into the venue before. There was a chance that it would be difficult for them to leave safely in the event of an emergency.
Sherman tried to reassure her by mouthing the words 'don't worry' and patting her gently on her arm, and Rita found some comfort amid her apprehension in the fact that Sherman was beside her.
Rita and Sherman had no choice but to enter. As soon as she set foot inside, the door shut behind them with a resounding click. The both of them ignored their charade and ran to the door, with Sherman attempting to push it open but failing to make it budge.
"What's happening? Everything was fine just a moment ago. Did we blow our cover?" Rita's voice quivered with tension as she tried her best to maintain her composure.
Sherman frowned. He could handle this situation if he was alone, but Rita's presence by his side made him worry about her safety.
"Step back. I'll try to force the door open," said Sherman.

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...
