Of course, there was not much room for Lucy's salary to increase any further. She already earned more than many department managers, albeit in smaller companies outside. However, if Lucy could stay working for Sherman, there was a possibility of her being transferred to another department as a manager or something similar.
Her skills far surpassed those of some department heads who were just muddling through. Sherman had long wanted to shake up the staff, but he was used to having Lucy by his side. He would have a difficult time finding someone to replace her in the short term if he were to lose her.
…
Claire drove like a madwoman and ran several red lights on the way, clearly intent on confronting Rita.
Meanwhile, Rita was sorting through her files and thinking about scheduling another interview with Esmond. However, sneaking in again after the fallout from the last incident would be difficult.
Esmond had been working in the dark for many years and was very cautious. Getting information out of him would not be easy, and Rita's informants were not as trustworthy as they used to be.
'It'll be so much simpler if Sherman can help me out,' thought Rita with a sigh.
However, with their standoff, their once decent friendship had become strained. She did not even know how to approach Sherman anymore.
She had accompanied Sherman to his family's house several times, and his family had been very kind. It was only during those times that she could relax, especially when they had to pretend to be a loving couple. Rita could not help but indulge in the illusion.
Rita nodded and hurriedly left. The troublemaker turned out to be someone she knew.
"Miss Claire, what are you doing here?"

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...
