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!
