The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 2882

Rita was confused. "How is this my fault? Miss Claire was the one who came here to kick up a fuss. If you've looked into it, you should know I didn't steal her boyfriend. She and Sherman had never been together, so what does this have to do with me? She publicly accused me of something I didn't do, so I'm the victim here."

"Why you! You think you're so smart, don't you? Have you forgotten who's in charge here?"

He had been groveling in front of Sherman like a sycophant, bending over backward to please him despite his age, yet when it came to Rita, he behaved arrogantly.

"You're in charge of course, but what does that have to do with whether I did something wrong or not? Just because you're my supervisor, does that give you the right to falsely accuse me too? I haven't done anything wrong, no matter what anyone says!"

"You... You... You... Who's your boss? Bring him here. I want to see who raised such a disobedient reporter like you."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The other onlookers started slowly dispersing on their own on account of not wanting to incur his wrath. "My boss has nothing to do with this," Rita said stiffly, refusing to answer.

Rita could not shake off the expression on Sherman's face when he left. He did not even notice she was standing there. He did not even ask if she wanted to go to the hospital with him; he just left like that. Did he ever consider that she was scared too?

Rita was furious. She did not care about her superior who still wanted to lecture her; she went straight to the parking lot. She needed to find Sherman and get some answers. Did he care about her at all?

'Is our marriage just a contract to him? Does he not even care about me a little? The fact that he left with Claire in front of so many people... Doesn't he know how humiliating it was for me? He might as well broadcast to the whole world that he still has feelings for her. But I swear I didn't break up their relationship. No one in the company is going to take me seriously after this. Sherman wouldn't have done this if he cared about me,' thought Rita.

She felt like a mere bystander when Sherman carried Claire into the ambulance. He was so indifferent toward Rita, focusing only on the woman in his arms.

Rita was not oblivious to the fact that Sherman did not have feelings for her, but they were still good friends, were they not? That was, of course, unless he decided to completely ignore her due to her father's blackmail.

Rita felt uneasy, but she had to go to the hospital. She needed to know Sherman's attitude toward her.

Even when the ambulance arrived at the hospital, Claire refused to let go of Sherman's hand as she lay on the hospital bed.

"Don't leave, okay? I know I made a lot of mistakes in the past, but I regret it now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back from abroad. You understand me the best, don't you? Please don't go. I miss you so much. I miss the days we spent together..."

Sherman did not respond to her pleading. Instead, he just said, "Don't worry. The doctor will come in to stitch up your wound, and it won't hurt anymore when they're done."

"I don't want them to stitch up my wound. I want an answer from you! I want you to tell me if you've forgiven me!"
