The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2810

One commenter mused, [I never expected that it wasn't her dancing that made her famous first but her relationship with Sherman. I wonder if it's good or bad for her dance career.] [Of course it's good. Without Sherman, who'd even know Claire? I wonder if it's her own publicity stunt. Sherman has never shown his face before, so why do it now?] another speculated.

[I don't think we should speculate about Claire like that. After all, isn't it normal for such a talented couple's relationship to be exposed? Besides, Sherman hasn't said anything, yet you're already worrying for him!] a third commenter argued.

[Don't give me that fan-club nonsense!]

Sherman naturally attracted attention, and this news quickly climbed to the top of the trending list.

Claire looked at the comments section, immensely satisfied. Despite many unfriendly remarks, at least she got the attention she wanted, did she not?

She wanted everyone to know that Sherman was hers, especially Rita. Why should she compete with her? She had known him longer than her, after all.

Claire was right. Even though her heart ached when she looked at the pictures of the seemingly perfect couple, Rita still stubbornly read through every comment in the section.

She selectively ignored the comments attacking Claire and instead focused on those praising the compatibility of the couple. She tried to convince herself to stop, not to get further involved. After all, they were a talented and beautiful couple, practically childhood sweethearts. She did not want to become the third wheel in their relationship.

The angry words Sherman had spoken last time, even though he had dismissed them, still lingered in Rita's heart. Looking back, the misunderstanding at that time seemed bittersweet. It was just a pity that Sherman was someone she was destined not to have.

"Claire, Mister Sherman is calling you!" Serena approached her, looking flustered, holding out her phone.

The fact that Sherman chose to call

Claire's agent instead of Claire herself at a time like this meant he was already suspicious of the whole thing. He wondered if this was all orchestrated by her PR team. He did not want to entertain such thoughts, but Claire's actions that day were indeed very unusual.

Moreover, before driving away from that street, he had noticed the presence of cameras. However, at that time Claire had reassured him a few times, so he did not think much of it, Otherwise, given her sensitivity to cameras, she should have been more aware of the situation than he was.

"What are you afraid of? Just answer it. I've taught you what to say," said Claire.

Serena held her phone tightly, her palms slicked with cold sweat. "Is it okay for me to say that? Will Mister Sherman believe us?"

"Why wouldn't he? If you can't handle even this little pressure, how can you work for me in the future when I aim for bigger stages?" Claire looked at Serena expressionlessly.

Her agent, who had once been perceptive, was increasingly unsatisfactory to her. 'If Serena couldn't handle this little pressure, how could she handle the bigger challenges I would face in the future?' Claire wanted an agent who could help her go further, not someone who shrank back from a phone call from Sherman.

Seeing the disdain in Claire's eyes, Serena made up her mind. She took a deep breath and answered the phone, "Hello, Mister Sherman. Ah... This situation is indeed unexpected for us too. We're currently trying to contact that paparazzo in the hopes of getting him to retract the news."
