The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"You know I only have your son's best interests at heart! How can you say something like that to me?" Sadie erupted in anger and yelled at Simona.

Even Sherman was taken aback by the scene. He shielded his mother and said, "I warned you not to cause a scene here. If you have a problem, you can take them up with your family," Sherman then swiftly called his secretary through the intercom. "Lucy"

Sadie, however, continued her tirade. "I'm doing this for your own good! Why can't you understand that? Why are you so fixated on Rita? She must've put a spell on you or something! She's only pretending to be nice for the sake of getting closer to you! You were supposed to be a cautious man, but you still ended up falling for her trap! Can't you see the truth? What do you even see in her?"

Sadie remained immersed in her self-righteous feelings of love. In her eyes, Sherman was a pitiful man blinded by love, and the object of his affection was none other than that wretched Rita. Lucy, as Sherman's long-time secretary, acted swiftly and brought two security guards with her. With two burly men controlling her, Sadie's outburst was swiftly quelled, and she was unable to move.

She could not believe that Sherman would resort to such measures against her. "Don't you even have the slightest feelings about me? I genuinely like you, but you had me put in this situation! I'm the one who truly cares for you. Why can't you see that?"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Sadie continued shouting as she was dragged out of the office, her voice echoing even after the door closed.

Once Lucy had closed the door, Sherman met his mother's disapproving gaze. "I never knew my son had so many admirers," Simona remarked.

Sherman then said embarrassedly, "I

don't think 'admirer' is the right term to describe her. I have no connection with her whatsoever. I don't know

why she showed up at my office and spoke to me like she and I were

close. It was unsettling."

Simona sighed. Had Sadie not thrown a fit, she would have been a little more tactful with the situation instead of just letting the security guards remove her by force. Such an act was somewhat disrespectful to Sadie.

"Are you sure it's fine to just let her be dragged out like that? She seemed to be in a bad frame of mind," Simona inquired.

Sherman assured, "I'm not going to just have her thrown out to the street. She'll be escorted back to the Russells That being said, she's not exactly a dignified member of the family she doesn't even bear the Russell surname. She changed it only after her mother married into the family, which means she doesn't have any blood ties with Rita."

Simona did not expect Rita to have that sort of background. "That explains why she was constantly painting Rita in a negative light. Rita must've had a difficult life."

Sherman nodded. "That would seem so."

Simona followed up with a question. "Do you take pity on Rita?"

However, the ever-rational Sherman avoided giving a direct answer. "I should get back to work, and you should head home and rest. There's no need to ask me those questions I've made up my mind. Let

a1 and the others know that

IPbe preparing for the wedding."

Elsewhere, at the Russells' residence, Rita stormed straight to her father's study upon returning home.
