"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 been so long! And there's nothing wrong with getting some exposure; it'll help boost my popularity. By the way, what about the interview from last time? Why hasn't the draft been sent over yet? That female reporter isn't very efficient, is she?"
Serena quickly replied, "Someone from New Capital Times contacted me, saying that to show their
sincerity, they've assigned a more experienced reporter to write this article. So it took some time during the handover. Don't worry, they definitely won't neglect you."
Before heading home, Sherman received another message from his grandmother, causing him to smile wryly.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Ever since the topic of marriage was brought up at the dinner table last time, his grandmother seemed to be afraid he would forget about it. She reminded him of it every few days.
He would not mind getting married at his age if he had someone special, but he did not have anyone. He also did not want to let another person restrict his freedom.
[Don't work overtime the day after tomorrow. Remember to come back, and dress nicely.]
His grandmother probably thought she was being subtle, but Sherman knew she must have arranged another blind date with some heiress. However, since his grandmother was getting old, he did not want to hurt her feelings by rejecting her arrangements.
The next day, Sherman showed up on time downstairs at Claire's house.
"Are you ready yet? I've been waiting here for almost twenty minutes."
On the other end of the line, Claire muttered, "Alright, alright, I'm coming downstairs," while her other hands were still busy putting on earrings.
"I can hear you putting on your heels, Claire. You're late again."
"What's the big deal? We girls have a lot of things to do, you know. It's rare to go out to the movies, especially with you. So of course I have to dress up nicely. Alright, stop complaining, I'm really coming downstairs this time!"
Sherman did not respond, but at the same time, he thought of another person. They had met several
times, and each time, Rita had arrived early at the agreed-upon place. Sherman wondered if it was because of her profession.
As Sherman and Claire made their way to the cinema, Rita was secretly investigating the developer. The more she dug, the more surprised she became.
Rita discovered that the people behind the developers were intricately connected to Sadie's family.
"Esmond Parr? That name sounds so familiar..."
Rita felt like she had seen this person somewhere before, but due to Sadie's delicate situation, Karen had been very cautious and had not introduced Rita to the people in her family.
"Where have I heard of this person before, then?"
