The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Rita took a deep breath and said, "I want to continue investigating this issue about the Parr Group. I've found out what happened to Virgil Cole."

"Don't try to fool me. A lot of reporters didn't even manage to get anything out of him. How is it that you succeed in doing that?" came the skeptical reply. Lenny did not know whether Rita was lucky or if she genuinely had a knack for it. She had handled the matter with Claire all by herself the other day, and she later claimed to have taken care of Virgil too. He wondered if it could have been beginners' luck.

"Why would I want to fool you? If I hadn't heard the complete story from Virgil, I wouldn't have believed that such forced evacuation is still a thing now. Anyway, that's it from me. I just wanted to inform you I've decided to continue investigating," Rita explained before turning around to leave. However, she was soon stopped by Lenny.

"Hold it. What are your grounds for investigating them? Do you find out who's backing the developers before you decide to dive head-in? Don't get yourself into trouble," Lenny cautioned.

"Don't worry. Even if something happens, I'll make sure you won't be implicated in it," Rita assured him.

Lenny was about to inquire further when someone knocked on the door again and interrupted their conversation. He called for the person to enter in irritation.
