Semua Bab The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Bab 2741 - Bab 2750

There was still room for them to maneuver around the situation if immediate steps were taken, and delaying it would only complicate the situation. Sherman put down his documents and reclined halfway in his office chair. "I want a thorough explanation of this issue," he demanded."It's rather simple, to be honest. This boils down to the original developer failing to resolve a dispute with that homeless individual. But at the moment, we won't have any specific information until the investigation is complete," Walter added.Sherman's brow furrowed deeply. "Had it not been ascertained that there were no issues with the developer? Why did this individual emerge all of a sudden just as we were ready to commence construction?"Walter found it unclear whom Sherman was holding accountable in this situation. After all, their company had merely purchased the land from the developer. If they had not made a bid, other real estate moguls would have done the same. The area had considerable economi

"The police won't take you seriously if you make a report about me. All I did was say a few words. You can't bend the law to suit your needs," added the homeless man.Rita clenched her fists and breathed heavily. "And you think you can get away with being a creep? You were harassing me!"The hobo was already determined to satisfy his lust that day. He lunged forward and wrapped his arms around Rita's thighs.Rita tumbled to the ground with him and cried out in pain. "Ahh!" She kicked wildly, landing hits on the man's face several times. Though he wailed in pain, his grip nonetheless remained firm.At that moment, another homeless man shrugged off his tattered cotton jacket and rose to his feet. He shouted, "What's with all the noise? Some people are trying to get some shut-eye here!"Rita looked at the man with teary eyes as if imploring for his help. The drunk hobo who attacked her did not expect to draw so much attention to where he was, and he released his grip on her out of fe

The man then said, "It's ridiculous. Why must everything be measured in terms of benefits? What about the memories I've made here? Aren't they important?"Rita bit her lower lip and felt her cheeks burn with shame for her blind faith. She had assumed that money was the solution to all problems. She was always going on and on about Sherman being a profit-minded businessman, but living in the same privileged family environment had tainted her with that mindset. She always felt as if money could solve anything."I grew up on this land. I finally got my house when I was over 30, but I was forced to leave after only a few years. Now everyone thinks I've gone mad, sleeping around on this muddy ground. But this was my home before those developers came. Why did I have to leave?"Rita fell silent at his questions, unable to provide an answer. She believed that the land must be profitable in some way if Sherman was interested in it too.A conflict between interests and family would be just a

"Did he leave last night, or could he have simply left for a while and happened not to be around when you arrived?" Sherman asked.The men lowered their heads in shame when questioned. They had assumed that the matter had been resolved when they noticed that the homeless man was no longer there, but it seemed that everything was a mere fluke on their part."Don't bother coming back to the company if this issue isn't resolved. Do you expect me to get involved in something this minor?" Sherman frowned. He was appalled at how lax his subordinates had been recently. If they could not even solve such a small problem, he was better off firing them.Moreover, he had emphasized the importance of 'excellence in service' since the day he became president. Should the issue of the homeless man remain unsettled, it could lead to suspicion from their clients. It was a point he felt needed no further reiteration.Sherman had a vague feeling that Rita had something to do with the homeless man's de

Lenny gulped, wondering if Sherman had come over because of the recent interview. He glanced at Rita and seemed to have come to a conclusion. Sherman recognized Rita because she had gotten in trouble again!Rita glared fiercely at Sherman, having already told him that she had her own methods to uncover the truth. There was no reason for him to be there unless it was to intervene."You don't need to concern yourself with this issue, Mister Sherman. This matter is under the purview of New Capital Times. If you have time to visit us, perhaps you should use that time to sort things out on your end so incidents like this don't repeat."Lenny coughed when he heard Rita's words. Her tone was unbefitting of addressing a big-shot company president. It was almost as if she considered Sherman a colleague! Rita's presumptuousness was a little over the top.Lenny coughed."Is your throat bothering you?" Sherman asked. "It's wise to rest if you're feeling unwell."Lenny waved to signal that ev
