The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Of course, Sherman provided quite a bit of financial support which kept Vince quiet for a while. Sherman was happy for the peace.

Any intelligent person would not choose to disturb Sherman again. After all, he would not let the Russell family off easily if Vince dared to bother him again.

'Buying out the companies under the Russell family would not be difficult, and he could just have them change their names to be under Parr Group. Let's see how arrogant they'd be then,' thought Sherman. "Mister Sherman, Miss Claire is in the lobby downstairs. She said she wants to see you," said Lucy.

Sherman's hand paused in flipping a page. There had been too much going on lately, and he had almost forgotten about Claire. It had been a long time since he had seen her, especially after what happened with her tipping off the paparazzi.

"Okay, have her come up," he instructed.

It had been a while since the last incident. It was time to meet her and resolve any lingering issues.

Claire was surprised at how smoothly she managed to sit across from Sherman this time. She had thought he would not want to see her after what had happened before. However, Sherman did not say anything. He just silently sipped his coffee, which made her feel uneasy.

"Sherman, I heard...you got married.

Is it true? Or is it just some false news? After all, we can't trust everything the media says

nowadays. They publish whatever they want without thinking of the consequences. How could something like this, which even I, your longtime friend didn't know about, be true?" Claire said awkwardly with a forced smile.

"The news online is indeed true. I did get married. I didn't tell you because I didn't see the need to," Sherman responded calmly.

Claire suddenly sat up straight. "Are you serious? How can you treat marriage so lightly? You've never liked anyone before, so how could you get married? You can't be so irresponsible!"

Claire clenched her fists tightly. "So I

was right. It's her, after all. But I clearly told you what kind of person she was last time. Don't you believe me? Being with her will only bring you suffering. I don't want to see my good friend go down a path of no return!"

"You're thinking too much. I've been with her for a long time, and I've never felt that she's as vain or cunning as you described. Being with her makes me happy every day, so you don't need to worry about our future life together."

"You still won't forgive me, huh? Just because of what I did last time. But you should understand me too. I finally returned to the country, but there was no excitement at all. I only did it for the sake of my career. I know I was wrong!"

With tears streaming down her face, Claire ran up to Sherman and knelt in front of him. She placed her hands on his knees and shook them gently. "I know I was wrong. Can you stop treating me like this? Have you

forgotten how happy we were

together?"
