"Or is it because you've fallen for someone else? Who is it? I want the nof the woman who stole my childhood sweetheart! Tell me!" Claire grabbed Sherman's collar, her eyes turning red with emotion. He could tell she was about to lose control again.
"You're sick, Claire. Go hand take your medicine. Don't waste both of our there. Please? Take it as a favor to me. Don't make a scene here." Sherman glanced toward the door. He did not want things to get any uglier, especially with Rita waiting for him in another room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Heh, so I'm right. You've really fallen for someone else. Is it Rita? I knew it. You've never spoken up for any other woman! What's so special about her? What do you even like about her? Have you forgotten how happy we were together?" "Claire, don't push me. Yes, we were happy together, but that was a long tago. You need to wake up." Sherman was growing increasingly frustrated.
"You've never spoken tolike this before. Is it because of Rita? I know you've fallen for another woman. You're infatuated with Rita, and that's why you're so impatient with me. How could you be so heartless?" Sherman's frown deepened, and he blurted in despair, "Yes, I've fallen for Rita. I've developed feelings for her. Can you just letgo?" "Miss Rita, Mister Sherman is seeing off a guest. He'll be with you shortly." Rita heard the argument coming from inside and asked with concern, "Who's in there? It sounds serious. Is everything okay?" Lucy looked conflicted. She knew who was inside, but this was Sherman's private affair. Moreover, she was unsure if she should take a look inside since the argument was only getting more intense.
Finally, under Rita's urging, she mustered the courage to push open the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she heard Sherman's confession. She glanced instinctively at Rita, only to find her standing there in a daze.
Silence filled the room.
Sherman was dumbfounded, his eyes shifting between Claire and Rita. He only said what he said to get Claire off his case, but he had not expected Rita to appear at his office door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRita's face flushed red. Coupled with Claire's murderous gaze, even the most oblivious person would realize what the argument inside was about.
She scratched her cheek sheepishly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. If you have things to discuss, I'll leave for now..." "Stay where you are! Why are you running away?" Claire went back to her composed self upon seeing Rita. She put on a cold demeanor, crossed her arms, and walked slowly up to Rita. She looked her up and down.
"I have to hand it to you, Rita. You must've plotted this entire thing, yet you pretend to be innocent. Just who are you trying to fool?"
Rita did not expect Claire to harbor such hostility toward her, and her expression darkened as well. "Miss Claire, what do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean? Miss Rita, we're all women here, so there's no need to put up an act in front of me. What else could the reason be for you to keep meeting Sherman like this?" As soon as Sherman heard Claire say that, he realized things were only about to get worse. Claire was
probably going to trot out those cliches again. It was one thing to say was them in front of him, but it was insulting to say them in front of Rita. X
