Rita found herself standing at New Capital Times' entrance, wondering how to get to Sherman's house when a black sports car pulled up in front of her. She did not recognize the car and moved to the side. To her surprise, the car followed her.
She was immediately irked. Her mood had not been great these past few days, and all of a sudden, this oblivious driver was blocking her. Angrily, she stepped forward and knocked on the driver's window.
"Sir, parking is not allowed h—"
She immediately froze when she was met with Sherman's cold gaze.
"Sorry, I didn't realize it was you. I hadn't seen this car before, and I thought it belonged to some troublemaker."
Sherman frowned impatiently. "Now that you know it's me, why don't you hurry up and get in the car? Do you want to attract even more attention here?"
Rita glanced behind her and noticed the luxurious sports car had indeed attracted quite some attention. She wasted time trying to get away from it, and some colleagues were pointing and whispering about them.
Feeling like she had made another mistake in front of him, Rita quickly got into the car.
Throughout the ride, Rita held onto her seatbelt tightly, and the two of them remained in an awkward silence. She did not know what to say to ease the tension. Despite being legally married according to their marriage certificate, their interaction felt even more awkward than when they were just friends.
"Um—"
Sherman chuckled, causing Rita to blush.
Her choice of words—'borrow' instead of 'ask'—was clearly understood, despite her attempt to feign ignorance.
"What? Are you going to pay it back for him?" Sherman replied mockingly.

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...
