The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Sherman heard Karen's voice. He had just managed to lay Rita back on the bed when the door swung open. He did not even have the time to pull a blanket over her.

"Don't be too harsh on her. Who knows, maybe Rita has fallen in love. I believe she's still innocent. You shouldn't believe rumors and doubt your own child," said Karen nicely as if she was deeply concerned about Rita.

Meanwhile, Vince looked downright tense. He refused to believe that his daughter was not virtuous. However, when those people presented all the photos to him, he began to waver.

'Have I been too strict on Rita? Is that why she's rebelling like this? Oh, how am I going to face her mother when I see her again?' thought Vince, who had remained silent throughout the journey.

However, upon opening the door, they were greeted by an unexpected sight. Karen's expression immediately turned sour.

"You? What are you doing here?" Vince asked, noticing Rita lying behind him.

Even though he was Rita's biological father, he knew he had to be cautious at that moment. He promptly pulled Karen out of the room.

"Get yourselves sorted out before you come out again!"

This was Vince's first time displaying his senior authority in front of Sherman.

Sherman frowned as he looked at Rita still unconscious on the bed. He needed to get her to the hospital quickly. He pondered how he could swiftly resolve this matter, especially with Karen's incessant chatter.

ton

Karen never imagined she would see Sherman in the room. She frowned with mixed emotions. She thought the thug was trying to extort more money from her when he did not send her the photos. Thus, after some contemplation, she decided to bring Sadie and Vince to the hotel room to catch Rita red-handed on the spot. After all, would that not be more thrilling than just looking at the photos? She just never expected to find Sherman behind that door.

'What went wrong in between? And where is that thug? Shouldn't he be here, naked and in bed with Rita? What exactly happened?'

Sadie's chest heaved incessantly as she glared at the door. She could not believe Rita was involved with Sherman.

'Isn't she always focused on her career? Why did she suddenly set her sights on an outstanding man? I saw him first! Why does this shameless woman always have to steal what's mine?!'

Rita continued to sleep soundly,

oblivious to the chaos outside. Once Sherman made sure her hand was not bleeding anymore, he smoothed out the wrinkles in his suit and carefully closed the door behind

him.

Vince's face turned even darker when he saw Sherman come out alone.

"Where's my daughter? I hope you can give me a good explanation of what's going on." Every word was spoken with conviction; this was a father's anger. At that moment he was not a company president but Rita's father instead.
