"A paparazzo snapped a photo of you and Miss Claire, and nobody informed us about this beforehand. Whoever it was just posted the picture. I'm not sure if you've approved it, so..." Lucy explained cautiously.
Sherman had no idea what photo she was referring to. How could he possibly approve of someone else posting his picture online, especially with Claire?
"I'll handle it when I get back to the office," said Sherman before he then hung up. He then stepped on the gas pedal, increasing his speed.
This unexpected incident pushed aside his irritation with Rita's constant rejection. He knew her past hardships had led her to develop such an independent character. She simply did not want to cause trouble for anyone.
'But how can she lump me together with her stepmother? Why does she keep refusing my help?' he wondered.
As soon as the company-president-exclusive elevator doors opened, Lucy pulled up the news and presented it to him. As they walked toward his office, she explained the origin of the news.
"I checked, and the photo of you with Miss Claire was taken by a well-known paparazzo. He has photographed you before but always gave us prior notice, so we bought the photos. This time, he changed his approach and posted it online without giving us a heads-up. The news came out about half an hour before you returned to the office, giving us no time to prepare."
Sherman took the tablet and carefully read through the article. "Hmm, seems like he has no qualms about making up things. He seems to know more about my relationship with Claire than I do."
[Doesn't anyone think Claire is the real winner in life? They've known each other for so long, which meant she got to know him when he was at his most innocent. Their relationship must be solid since they're still together. I wonder if she came back to the country because they're getting married,] speculated another commenter.
[No way! They're both still so young. Are they really getting married? Oh heavens, why can't I have a handsome guy for myself?] another lamented.
[I've heard of Parr Group, but what does this woman do? Is she even worthy to be with Sherman?] one commenter questioned.
A commenter replied, [Your comment just shows how ignorant we modern people have become when it comes to the arts. She's one of the most famous dancers from overseas in recent years. She's coming back with all her talent, yet hardly anyone knows her.]

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...
