Sherman eventually caved in and nodded after seeing Rita's gaze. "There's no stopping you, is there? In that case, I have one request. If there is ever a twhen your safety is threatened, you're to withdraw yourself from the investigation right away." Rita was a little surprised when she managed to convince him. She was practically leaping for joy as she ran up to Sherman. "Of course! I'm not an idiot. You don't know how much this means to me! I didn't expect you to agree. Thank you so much!" "Well, how could I refuse when a certain someone declared in my face that her original intention for becoming a reporter was to get justice for people? I can't dampen her spirits after that..." Sherman smiled faintly when he saw Rita's glee.

"By the way," Rita's tone becmore serious, "I investigated Esmond's schedules. He'll likely show up at sclub tomorrow, but I'm not sure if the owner is one of his people, I haven't found much about that person. Would you like to check it out?" Sherman was surprised by her resourcefulness. Her ability to find out that much information simply with her own means.

"That club you mentioned, who owns it? I had my men check his affiliates, so there's a chance the person might be on the list." "The owner's nis Payton Waford." "That name... Yes, Payton is one of Esmond's men. You've got stricks up your sleeve, I see. I'm surprised you managed to locate one of his haunts so quickly." Sherman pulled up information on the venue and found the place rather surprising. It had karaoke bars, clubs, pool bars, amusement parks, and all sorts of other entertainment businesses.

They catered to all ages, which explained why Esmond never got involved in the property business in the past few years. The revenue from his entertainment businesses would have been more than enough to sustain him, and that did not even take into account the shady businesses he would have.

"I seem to recall that there were minors in that karaoke bar, but aren't they supposed to be barred from entering that sort of place?" Rita frowned. Minors were strictly prohibited from entering those places as they had no self-control and were unable to protect themselves should a situation arise.

"It's pretty clear Esmond doesn't really care about any of that as long as he can make money. If he was even remotely concerned about that, he wouldn't have set up shady businesses. Now that we know that he'll be there tomorrow, shall we visit the venue?" Rita nodded. "But you can't wear a suit and leather shoes. It'll make you stand out." "What should I wear then?" Sherman frowned. He knew nothing about the dress code for such events, and even if he did, he only had suits and several pieces of loungewear and sportswear.

"Surely your wardrobe isn't just suits in different shades?" Rita asked in surprise. She was leaning in front of Sherman's computer to look at the screen, so the two of them were very close when they faced each other. Rita noticed Sherman's raised eyebrow as if to ask her, 'Is there a problem with that?'

Rita pondered for a moment and said, "Well then, let's give you a break from business attire bring you to shop for something casual. Think of it as our preparation for going undercover tomorrow." "Feeling generous?" joked Sherman.

Rita shrugged. "Sacrifices have to be made. It was my suggestion, so I have to be responsible for your safety." Sherman stood up with a smile. His towering figure prompted Rita to

take a step back, but her waist bumped into the desk and there nowhere else for her to retreat.

e m Sherman could not resist rubbing the top of her head, and it felt just as he had imagined-soft and fluffy like a small animal. "Let's not dip into your savings for the clothes," Sherman insisted. "I'll clock off work early today and treat it as taking the rest of the day off."

Buying clothes for Sherman turned anticipa out quicker than Rita anticipated. She had good taste while he was easy to style. Rita found herself enjoying selecting outfits for him. X
