'I've paved the way for her, yet she doesn't want to walk it. Instead, she wants to take the traditional approach of winning him over! Doesn't she realize just how much of a difference there is between them? There's no way her passion alone could win Sherman's cold heart!' thought Vince.
Fortunately, he had already hidden the original documents, so even if Rita found something in his study, it would only be a copy.
Unfortunately, Rita was completely unaware of that when she sneaked into her father's study. She did not expect to find the USB flash drive so easily. Thinking she was lucky, she silently apologized to her father in her heart when she held the small chip in her hand.
'I know the family business needs the Parr family's investment, but don't worry, Dad. I'll help you raise capital after apologizing to Sherman. I stand with you, no matter what.'
At the end of the day, Rita was still a member of the Russell family and Vince's daughter. She had enjoyed so many benefits from her family over the years, so it was natural that she would help her father at such a critical juncture.
However, she believed that money should be earned in a 'clean' way. She absolutely would not allow her father to use the USB drive to harm or threaten Sherman, nor did she want to see such an outcome.
After obtaining the evidence, Rita immediately contacted Sherman. Afraid he might not want to hear her voice, she sent a text message instead, telling him he must come see her.
Meanwhile, Sherman was sitting at his desk, pondering the question his mother had asked him—did he truly have no feelings for Rita? Otherwise, why would he agree to such a ludicrous marriage arrangement?
Meanwhile, Vince observed Rita's stealthy movements through the surveillance footage. About 10 minutes after she left the study, he made a call to the family driver.
"Yes, that's correct. Miss Rita just drove away in a hurry. I think she's going to meet someone. She didn't even ask me to take her," the driver reported.

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...
