All Chapters of The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Chapter 2771 - Chapter 2780

"Next time, don't go alone in the middle of the night to follow up on things. Got it?"Rita rolled her eyes. "You say my reputation is important, but isn't a man's reputation important too? Besides, if other reporters hadn't refused to stay, do you think I would've been the only one left there? Sir, I've investigated this matter thoroughly and told you what happened. Why are you unwilling to proceed? This could be a great story for New Capital Times!"Rita could not argue for fairness; she had to appeal to his interest instead. Sometimes, laying out the benefits was the only way to get things done, much to Rita's frustration."That's enough. I've already told you not to proceed, so you better not act recklessly. Understand?" interrupted Lenny before Rita could argue further. "Instead of wasting time, you should figure out how to thank Mister Sherman for his help."As much as Rita felt frustrated, she had to return to her seat. She still could not understand why Sherman suddenly ext

"I even gave you a cold shoulder when we met that day, but you still helped me out. How magnanimous of you, Mister Sherman," said Rita sulkily, unable to control her disappointment. She did not know what was wrong with her."Miss Rita, I don't just help anyone with their troubles. It's also because we have a connection. Our interactions the last two times made me realize you're definitely not that kind of person. Besides, our cooperation with your family's company is also on the agenda, so helping you can be seen as doing a favor for your father as well," Sherman said, not entirely sincere.After the dinner party he attended last time, he was clear that he absolutely could not cooperate with such a company, let alone talk about putting it on the agenda.Rita looked up with surprise. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say. She never imagined it would be for such a reason."You're indeed magnanimous, Mister Sherman. Thank you so much." Rita took a deep breath, putting on a

"You can just buy the photos. There are many ways to handle it. Alright, it's settled then. You'll pick me up tomorrow.""Okay."After hanging up the phone, Sherman could not help but sigh. Despite being close friends with Claire, they always seemed unable to progress further. He knew he had always harbored some resentment over that issue. They were just destined to stay as they were.Claire hung up the phone, her smile fading. She turned to her agent with a cold expression. "Are the paparazzi arranged for tomorrow?""Everything's arranged, but are you sure about this? Mister Sherman will be angry if he's caught by the paparazzi. None of his photos have ever been put up online before..."Serena hesitated before adding, "Won't this push him further away?""What do you know? You don't understand him at all. I just want to give him a little pressure. He's the type that takes one step back whenever I take one step to him. I know he still minds about what happened back then, but it's

"Hello? Karen, is that you? Did you call me?"Karen remained silent as the voice of the man on the other end sounded anxious."I know you wouldn't call me for no reason. Is something wrong? Whatever it is, I can help you!""Esmond..."Karen's voice excited the man on the other end. "After all these years, I finally got a call from you. Whatever it is, I can help you with anything. I'm just glad you're still willing to call me by my name," he eagerly responded.Karen clenched her teeth and made up her mind in that instant. "Esmond, I need you to deal with a woman for me.""Say no more. I have many men working for me, so dealing with any woman is a piece of cake.""Her name is Rita Russell. She's a reporter."Esmond frowned. "Rita Russell? Isn't she the annoying woman who's been on our backs lately?""What do you mean?""Oh, it's an internal matter of our company. It's been a long time since we sold that piece of land, but it's still causing us problems. There's this damn repor

Sherman shook his head. "It's nothing, probably just my imagination."Claire started to panic, so she quickly reassured him, "Let's go. I told you nobody apart from my fans would recognize me. See, nobody else is paying attention to me at all."Once they were back in the car, Sherman breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "I'm pretty sure more and more people will know you in the future, and you won't be able to go out shopping like this anymore."Claire held the bag of donuts tightly but did not seem to want to eat any. "Is that so? I'm actually looking forward to that day.""I thought you wouldn't like always being in the spotlight. Judging by your personality, don't you prefer freedom more? You don't even like giving interviews."Claire hugged the donuts closer. "It's not that I don't like giving interviews; I just don't like random reporters asking me random questions. They're more interested in my gossip than my dancing, so there's no point in accepting their interviews.""So
