Old Sims seemed to relax a bit. He picked up the other cup of water Rita prepared and took a sip. Rita also subconsciously took a sip.
"The specific clues are left in Room A414. You have to go check it out yourself. I don't have much time to waste with you here," said Old Sims after finishing the water.
He was about to leave when Rita grabbed his wrist anxiously.
"You haven't told me what kind of clue it is yet. Can it help bring down Esmond?" she asked.
He pulled his hand away and patted Rita's arm, saying, "Young lady, don't be so hasty in your actions. It's still early."
Rita sighed with a frown as she watched him quickly disappear into the crowd. Old Sims was an odd character, but since she had not met him offline before, she chalked it down to it being his personality.
Fortunately, the clues were still left in the hotel, so this meeting was not entirely fruitless. Rita obtained the hotel key card from the front desk. As she ascended the floor in the elevator, she started to feel a bit dizzy. She shook her head.
At the same time, her phone suddenly rang. Glancing at the screen, she saw Sherman's name displayed prominently. Though slightly surprised, she brought the phone closer to her face, blinked slowly, and then swiped to answer.
"Rita? What informant are you talking about? Where did you find this informant?" Sherman's voice came through the phone.
Rita's consciousness started to slip even more. She felt like the inside of the elevator was spinning. She had not had a chance to answer Sherman when the elevator arrived at the floor she needed with a ding.
"It's my informant. When I find the evidence, I'll send Esmond to prison and get revenge for both of us. Sherman, please don't be angry. Don't ignore me. Do you know how sad I am when you ignore me..."
Rita's voice fluctuated, and Sherman sensed something was off. She had never spoken to him like this even when her emotions were running high.
Sherman's words briefly brought Rita back to consciousness.
"Hey, why are you yelling at me like that? You've hurt my ears! I don't want to sleep, I'm just a little tired. My evidence is still in that room. Once I get it, I'll… I'll…"
Suddenly, Rita's tone became excited. "Huh? The room's door is open. Wait, who are you?"
There was a scream from Rita, and the next moment, the call was disconnected.
Sherman immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

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...
