The Day I Kissed An Older Man



"Did he leave last night, or could he have simply left for a while and happened not to be around when you arrived?" Sherman asked.

The men lowered their heads in shame when questioned. They had assumed that the matter had been resolved when they noticed that the homeless man was no longer there, but it seemed that everything was a mere fluke on their part.

"Don't bother coming back to the company if this issue isn't resolved. Do you expect me to get involved in something this minor?" Sherman frowned. He was appalled at how lax his subordinates had been recently. If they could not even solve such a small problem, he was better off firing them.

Moreover, he had emphasized the importance of 'excellence in service since the day he became president. Should the issue of the homeless man remain unsettled, it could lead to suspicion from their clients. It was a point he felt needed no further reiteration.

Sherman had a vague feeling that Rita had something to do with the homeless man's departure. Although she was just a newcomer in the industry, the several interactions he had with her were enough for him to sense she had an uncanny ability to gain other people's trust with ease.

As he had expected, his subordinates returned with some feedback. After their investigation, they discovered that the man had left with Rita.

"Should we contact her? According to what we've found out, she's a reporter from the New Capital Times. Getting in touch with her superior might help us resolve this quickly," suggested one of his subordinates.

Sherman frowned. "What's there to resolve? And why would you contact her superior?" "To put pressure and-"

"Enough," Sherman interrupted. "I'll take over for now. I know her, so I'm going to meet her myself. Try to be more careful in the future."

The subordinate nodded repeatedly. It was no wonder that Sherman became so nervous after Rita's name was mentioned-she tumed out to be an old acquaintance. Upon realizing that, the subordinate immediately regretted his earlier remarks. If he had been allowed to finish his sentence, he might have to face some very dire consequences.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Sherman felt a little irritated because he did not want Rita to be involved in that matter, particularly because it could be related to the developer they had taken over from. Even though she was the Russells' eldest daughter, it was incredibly risky for a girl to be embroiled in that sort of matter alone.

After contemplating for a while, he grabbed his car keys and got up. He decided it would be prudent to have a conversation with Rita.

Once Rita settled things with Virgil, she changed her clothes and returned to the company. If she wanted to continue the investigation, then she would have to report to her superiors.

The thought of going in to meet her boss, Lenny, irritated her slightly, as there had been a lot of unpleasantness between them the last time they met. She knew what those people thought of her, but she did not care much for it because her target was not the entertainment department. Eventually, she would want to leave and join the social welfare department. She wanted to genuinely address people's livelihoods.

Her knock on Lenny's door was met with the response, "Please come in-"

Lenny frowned when she saw that it was Rita. After all, he was a hard-headed individual who had no qualms about arguing with anyone and tended to look down on everyone.

"Is there a problem?" he asked.
