Sherman sounded impatient, and Rita could not help but feel like he was mocking her. She did not dare to speak anymore.
She would just chalk her earlier thoughts down as her delusions and refrained from asking Sherman the question she really wanted to ask him.
"Do you have any other questions?"
Sherman knew she still had other doubts when he noted her hesitance, but he did not expect her to shake her head.
"You must be tired. Let me buy you a bottle of water," said Rita.
Sherman did not understand why she looked so upset.
'Shouldn't she be happy to hear that there's nothing going on between me and Claire? Just what the heck is this woman thinking?'
Rita felt sad, especially about her own family. It was not like she could cut them off from her life, but at the same time, she did not have the right to openly express her feelings for Sherman.
She longed to return to the past when they were not bound by so many interests. Back then, she would have asked without hesitation. She was no longer the straightforward reporter she used to be, nor did she have that kind of confidence.
Rita sat outside alone for a long time before finally buying a bottle of water and returning.
On her way back, she happened to meet Sherman. He only returned to his seat when he saw her coming back.
Seeing Rita's eager-to-escape demeanor made Sherman even more irritated. "I forget that you're a busy woman. You can leave now if you don't want to stay. Don't need to make it seem like I'm forcing you to stay."
"Didn't you say you wanted to leave? Why haven't you gone yet?"
Sherman turned his head away before smiling slightly. Only Rita would come up with such a clumsy excuse just to keep him company. She could have just said she wanted to stay with him.

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...
