The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2672

Sherman picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. He was watching the live broadcast of the Golden Feather Awards ceremony and saw Melody win the Best Newcomer Actress award, which made him happy for her.

However, seeing Lucas beside her made him feel a sense of regret and disappointment. Quickly, that regret and disappointment transformed into a restless feeling. He turned off the TV, believing that out of sight, out of mind.

He admitted to himself that he really liked Melody because she perfectly matched his criteria for a partner in terms of both looks and personality. Most importantly, Melody bore a resemblance to the girl he had harbored feelings for many years, Claire Bourne.

Sometimes, thoughts really could become reality.

Sherman had just opened a bottle of red wine, intending to drown his sorrows alone when his assistant's call came through.

After answering the phone, he said in a subdued tone, "Whatever the matter is, let's talk about it tomorrow."

He was about to hang up when his assistant hurriedly said, "Sir, it's about Miss Claire! She's returned to the country!"

Sherman, holding the wine bottle, froze for a moment.

'What?'

The next day.

Rita could not believe her bad luck. After finally securing an opportunity to work on an out-of-the-studio shoot, she realized some stranger had stolen her seat.

"Excuse me, sir. This seat is mine. Could you please check if you're in the wrong seat?"

The man, wearing a suit and

gold-rimmed glasses, looked sophisticated and indifferent as he glanced at her. Ignoring her words, he remained focused on waiting for the performance to begin. en.s.net

'What the heck is wrong with this guy? Didn't he hear what I just said?' thought Rita.

She felt a surge of frustration but

still forced a smile on her face. She reluctantly asked again, "Sir, do you have trouble hearing? This seat is mine. Maybe you should

double-check your ticket." en.s.net

Rita had done extensive research online before deciding on this position, all to capture photos of Claire, the most famous newcomer in the world of performing arts. She had even asked a friend for help to secure this position because Claire's performance was so popular, so what gave this man the right to sit there without budging?

'Does he really think I'm that easy to bully?' thought Rita.

The man, irritated by Rita, frowned and said, "This kind of manners won't do in a performance like this. You should improve it."

Rita was stunned. Did he really say that to her? She even turned her head in shock to make sure there was no one behind her before facing him again.

She pointed at herself and asked in disbelief, "Are you saying I have no manners?"

Sherman looked up. "I don't see

anyone else here besides you. I don't

know how you got in, but since

you've managed to get front-row tickets, you should at least show some respect to Claire by being quiet!" en.s.net
