"You're on your own from now on." Rita grabbed her bag and left.

She did not have any other work on her hands, and as for the meeting later... Well, she could not care less about doing such menial tasks as pouring coffee for them.

On the way to meet her friends, she becangrier. 'What gives them the right to steal my work? It's obvious I was framed. Not only did the boss not comfort me, but he passed on my interview to someone else! The interview I've worked so hard to secure, and that no one else did! I'm more than capable of doing a better job than Chase, but no, he gets to write about the interview! Is it because I'm a newcomer?' Rita found it impossible to swallow her frustration. "I must get the front page headline next month. Just wait, I'll make everyone at New Capital Times regret ever treatinglike this!" Rita pondered what other materials she could gather. Suddenly, she remembered the relationship between Sherman and Claire. That could be a good angle to pursue.

However, she would not uncover much insider information if she relied solely on her limited investigative skills. The most crucial thing was to get closer to the two parties involved and get them to admit the relationship themselves. It would be even better if Sherman was willing to accept her interview.

"Mister Sherman, there's a reporter downstairs who claims to be your friend and wants to meet you," Lucy conveyed Rita's request with a troubled expression.

"You're certainly getting better at handling things," replied Sherman sarcastically without looking up. Having 25 hours in a day would not even be enough for him if he agreed to meet anyone who wanted to see him.

"Sorry, but this reporter mentioned that she knows about your relationship with Miss Claire...so I thought it best to inform you," Lucy added.

After all, the relationship between Sherman and Claire was quite secretive. Apart from Lucy, hardly any other employees had seen Claire.

Sherman raised his head and tapped his desk thoughtfully. "Let her up." He was curious to see which reporter would be so bold as to do something that would risk his wrath. However, the person who entered after the knock on the door surprised him.

"I was wondering who it could be.

Turns out it's the esteemed Miss Rita Russell. No wonder you dare chere without an invitation and use gossip as leverage to demand a meeting with me. I must say, you're quite the manipulator, Miss Rita," Sherman remarked with a hint of sarcasm.

Rita chuckled awkwardly. Even though Sherman maintained his expressionless demeanor, Rita could sense his underlying anger from his words.

"Hehe... How could I have entered your prestigious office if I hadn't done that? But believe me, I have no ill intentions, nor do I want to blackmail you with this gossip!" Rita explained hastily.

"Huh." Sherman remained expressionless, but his words created a distance between them as if that night they chatted happily on the balcony was just Rita's imagination.

"So, Miss Rita, what brings you to my office?" Sherman inquired, his tone slightly icy.

Despite having faced numerous criticisms since she started working

for New Capital Times, Rita found Sherman's attitude toward her especially uncomfortable. She m fidgeted with her clothes, thinking, 'Why is he so harsh to me? thought we both had a good chat at the dinner party that night...

"Mister Sherman, you have to believe me, I really have no ulterior motives. I ΟΠ just wanted to meet you and ask if NO there's any possibility you would consider grantingan interview," Rita explained. ΠΟ

Observing the glint of hope in Rita's eyes, Sherman let out a disdainful chuckle. "Miss Rita, what makes you think I'd accept your interview? You're think I'd accept your what just a rookie reporter. Even if I were to grant New Capital Times an interview, it would certainly not be to you. Do you understand? The content. is on novelenglish.net! X
