The Day I Kissed An Older Man

As Rita observed Sherman's focused expression, she could not help but wonder if his interest was genuine. The fact that this man claimed the seat was reserved for him by Claire raised some doubts in her mind.

'Are they in a romantic relationship?'

The thought surprised Rita. It was not entirely implausible. The fact that he was able to get Claire to reserve a seat for him hinted at his significance. What luck, she had stumbled upon such a big story! Her colleagues would surely be in awe of her if she were to bring this news back. It was totally a headline-worthy scoop!

With a plan forming in her mind, Rita decided to start with this man beside her. Perhaps he could serve as a breakthrough point.

As the music started, Claire gracefully glided onto the stage from the left side like a graceful swan. Even Rita could not resist holding her breath, overwhelmed by the visual impact Claire's performance had on her, which surpassed anything she had seen in online videos.

"Oh, my..." she exclaimed, and the surrounding audience did the same. At that moment, she could not help but observe the expression on Sherman's face, only to see a slight smile curling up at the corners of his mouth.

'Oh, so he does know how to smile!' thought Rita. She had thought he had a poker face.
