Of course, there was not much room for Lucy's salary to increase any further. She already earned more than many department managers, albeit in smaller companies outside. However, if Lucy could stay working for Sherman, there was a possibility of her being transferred to another department as a manager or something similar.

Her skills far surpassed those of some department heads who were just muddling through. Sherman had long wanted to shake up the staff, but he was used to having Lucy by his side. He would have a difficult time replaceing someone to replace her in the short term if he were to lose her.

Claire drove like a madwoman and ran several red lights on the way, clearly intent on confronting Rita. Meanwhile, Rita was sorting through her files and thinking about scheduling another interview with Esmond. However, sneaking in again after the fallout from the last incident would be difficult.

Esmond had been working in the dark for many years and was very cautious. Getting information out of him would not be easy, and Rita's informants were not as trustworthy as they used to be.

'It'll be so much simpler if Sherman can help me out,' thought Rita with a sigh.

However, with their standoff, their once decent friendship had become strained. She did not even know how to approach Sherman anymore.

She had accompanied Sherman to his family's house several times, and his family had been very kind. It was only during those times that she could relax, especially when they had to pretend to be a loving couple. Rita could not help but indulge in the illusion.

"Rita Russell, come out here! You home-wrecking mistress! How can you have the nerve to call yourself a reporter when you've schemed to steal my boyfriend away?"

Claire did not intend to have a civil conversation with Rita from the start; she started shouting as soon as she arrived at the door. The lobby was bustling with other reporters, and instinctively, they picked up their cameras to record the whole thing this was prime material for them.

The entertainment department Rita was in was quite far from the lobby. News from outside would not reach her for a while until Lenny hurried over to tell her to deal with Claire.

"How shameless of her to cause such a big scene outside! Does she think our newspaper isn't famous enough?" Rita asked in confusion. "Why do you assume this has anything to do with me? I don't remember being involved in any marriage dispute."

"She's cursing at you by name. You're the only Rita Russell in the whole company. How can it not be you? Sort it out quickly. Don't bother coming back to work if you can't," ordered Lenny.

Rita lowered her head and said, "But sir, this really has nothing to do with me. I've been busy with getting materials for my articles. You know that. How could I get involved in someone else's romantic affairs? I really don't need more drama in my life."

Lenny could not help but chuckle at Rita's troubled expression. "So you are aware of the drama around you. Regardless of whether it's your fault or not, being called out by your name isn't good for your reputation. Sort it out, and then you can better focus on your work, right?"

Rita nodded and hurriedly left. The troublemaker turned out to be someone she knew.

"Miss Claire, what are you doing here?"
