The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2739

Countless people wanted Sherman's number but could not get it. When Rita got it, all she felt was a heavy burden.

Rita hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Sherman picked up his phone and, upon confirming it was an unknown number, asked, "Telemarketing?"

Sherman's voice sounded like he was about to hang up the next second, but Rita quickly stopped him. "Don't hang up! It's me!"

Recognizing Rita's voice, Sherman chuckled with interest. He leaned back in his office chair. "Ah, Miss Rita, what brings you to call me?"

Somehow, Sherman's voice through the phone made Rita's face flush. "I—I wanted to ask you something, if you don't mind..."

"If you're worried it might be impolite, then perhaps it's best not to ask?"

Rita was anxious, afraid that he might just hang up the phone. However, Sherman had no intention of hanging up; he was simply enjoying teasing her.

"But this is a question I must ask," Rita insisted.

"Miss Rita, you yourself said he used to own it. Why doesn't he have it now? It's because he accepted the developer's offer to move away from there. I don't understand why you're asking me about this. Do you expect me to solve the homeless man's housing problem after hearing his story, or do you think it's my fault he's homeless now?" Sherman replied coldly.

Rita instinctively wanted to deny it. After all, why did she even call Sherman? She just wanted an answer from him to confirm whether he was involved.

"So it really doesn't have anything to do with Parr Group? How could he lose his house if it weren't for Parr Group's development plans?" Rita muttered. She knew she was being spoiled, but she was dealing with Sherman after all.

Sherman's voice sounded indifferent. "Miss Rita, you're quite naive. It seems your father has sheltered you well. But everything should be considered in order. You're being really unreasonable right now. First, there's this land, then there's housing for him. It's because he was willing to give up his original house that this land ended up in the hands of the developer. And I won the bid for this land."
