The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Sherman nodded. "Bingo. Now let's go check on Esmond's situation."

Despite the relaxed atmosphere during the journey, Rita's heart raced as they arrived at the club's parking lot.

"Are you nervous?" Sherman asked.

Rita nodded. "Of course. This is our first time being in such close contact with Esmond, after all."

"Don't focus too much on gathering information. It's just the two of us, and all we need to do is meet him. It'll be great if we succeed, but if we don't, we can treat it like any regular outing. Don't put too much pressure on yourself," Sherman advised.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"I am curious to see the face of the person who's behind all these cruel acts," said Rita with a stern gaze.

Sherman felt a tug at his heartstrings and said, "Then what are we waiting for?"

He took Rita's hand as they neared the entrance, and she glanced at their clasped hands before her gaze moved up to his face.

"I apologize in advance, Rita. I might put you in a difficult position today by having to hold our hand," Sherman murmured in a low voice to avoid being overheard.

"You could say the same about me," Rita replied in the same hushed tone.

A genuine smile unfurled across Sherman's face as he was taken aback by Rita's responses. "Guess we're both putting each other in a difficult position then."

Rita put on a stern face and nodded. "I guess we are."

Unfamiliar faces were a rarity there, and their entrance drew the attention of an attendant, who wore black just like all the other employees in the establishment. were a rarity there. "May I help you?" asked the attendant.

Sherman's stoic demeanor, coupled with his usual air of authority, made him look intimidating, especially when he frowned.

Quickly sensing the tension, Rita

stepped forward. "We're here to have

some fun. Our friends told us that

atel

you have just about anything anyone can think of. Since it's our first time here do you have any

recommendations for us?"

The woman smiled. "You've come to the right place. Having a wide range of facilities and impeccable service is our selling point. You'll be free to experience your heart's desire as long as you have the money ready."

Rita pouted and asked, "Is it really that impressive?"

The attendant did not say much and simply insisted that they experience everything for themselves.

"Give us a VIP room, then. We're not looking to spend extravagantly right away. We need to give this place a test run first to see if your services justify the cost," Rita declared.

The attendant nodded. "Of course. Our VIP rooms come in five tiers. If you're unsure, I recommend starting with the basic one."

However, Sherman interjected from behind Rita. "I'll take the highest tier."

Rita immediately latched onto his arm and feigned annoyance. "Come on, we don't have to splurge on the most expensive option when it's only our first time here. It's such a waste! We don't even know if it'll be enjoyable."

The attendant immediately countered. "That's no fun, is it? Judging by your appearance and that of this gentleman, money

seem to be an issue. What's

the point of making money if you don't spend it? Life is all about relaxing and having fun!"
