The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"Stop talking nonsense! You were clearly in the wrong for stealing my seat! Sir, do you think you have the right to slander me like this just because you're friends with Miss Claire? I'm sure she'll be very shocked once she knows just what kind of person you really are!"

As they continued to argue, Serena quickly closed the door.

"What happened? It's best to clear up any misunderstanding as soon as possible," she said.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing the two of them acting like sworn enemies, Claire became even more displeased with the pushy Rita.

"Miss Rita, I think I've made it quite clear to you through the staff that I won't accept any interviews from any newspaper, not even from you. And especially not when there's a conflict between you and my friend!"

"Do you really not want to become famous, Miss Claire? After returning home from your studies, you shouldn't confine yourself to the stage of this theater. You belong on a larger stage, and your audience isn't just these mere two thousand people. If your ambition is limited to this, you can just take it as I've never come today. If you want to go further in your career, please give me a chance. This interview will open up doors for you and boost your reputation!

"As for the conflict between me and your friend, that's strictly between him and me. I hope you won't take it out on New Capital Times, as it's with the utmost sincerity we invite you to accept our interview." Rita's words were earnest. She was confident she could persuade Claire because, after watching videos of Claire's earlier dance performances, she realized she was dealing with a highly ambitious woman. Claire had steadily built her reputation internationally yet, in the end, had chosen to return home. There, she lacked a breakthrough opportunity to become famous despite her remarkable talent and loyal fan base. Clearly, she would not settle for this little fame only.

Rita believed Claire's ambitions extended beyond her lukewarm reception. The interview with New Capital Times could be the perfect stepping stone for Claire, propelling her from a stage where she could only perform for two thousand people to a stage where she could perform for tens of thousands of people.

While art was indeed a pure and beautiful thing, in modern society, Claire and her team might end up with nothing to show for it if they relied solely on that aspect.

Rita placed her business card into Claire's hand and turned to Sherman. "As for you, I have proof that you've stolen my seat. Here, take a good look at them."

Sherman held Rita's phone with both hands and looked at the photo with disdain. "So what if I was sitting in seat number 008? That seat has always been reserved for me."

Claire felt a ball of emotions after

Rita's face reddened. "But I bought a ticket for that seat, and even when the show started, seat number 007 remained empty. Doesn't that prove he took my seat?"

Claire smiled gently. "You must've

made a mistake, Miss Rita. I'd never reserve the wrong seat. Perhaps you bought scalped tickets, which was why you ended up with the same seat as Sherman. Don't worry, make sure to look into this matter as

I won't allow scalped tickets to circulate in the market."

Rita felt like she was swallowing a bitter pill and could not speak up.

'They didn't even bother to check if they had reserved the wrong seat! How dare they just assume I bought scalped tickets?'

"I bought this ticket with my own

money, and it was my friend who et

helped me buy it. I didn't resorta scalpers just because I didn't want

to spend a little extra money."

Rita hated being wrongly accused, especially when there was more than one accuser. The man, in particular, always seemed to have a hint of mockery in his eyes.
