The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2751

Rita seethed with annoyance, but her irritation paled in comparison to the shock that hit her when she received a message from Camille.

[What happened? Were you assaulted last night?]

Camille's message contained a photo that froze Rita in her tracks—the image of the drunkard hugging her thigh. She did not know how or why it was plastered across the headlines. Whoever wrote the piece clearly had provocative intentions.

[Drunkard Can't Bear to Part with Beautiful Female Reporter—Stay Tuned for More Updates!]

Rita shuddered. Nothing had taken place between her and the drunkard except for the beating that she gave him. However, the photo could easily cause misunderstandings, and the language used for the headline was so vivid that she could not fathom how her father might react upon seeing it.

When Camille did not receive any reply from Rita after waiting for some time, she decided to phone Rita.

"What happened, Rita? Is that you in the news? Did the man assault you yesterday? Why didn't you tell me?" The thought that Rita might have had her innocence taken away made Camille anxious and sad.

Rita's voice trembled as she gulped and replied, "Are there any other photos? Did they mention that I beat the drunkard up?"

"He'll want you to quit out of concern more than anything. He'll argue that this is a far too dangerous profession for you. But if it reaches Karen and Sadie..." Rita trailed off to a pause before adding, "I'm pretty sure they're going to make a big deal out of it. You'd better prepare yourself for that."

Rita's primary concern was that her father would leverage this incident to pressure her into leaving her career. On the other hand, she could not care less about whatever Karen or Sadie said. There was nothing for them to kick up a fuss about if nothing happened to her.

Alas, had Rita underestimated the power of gossip. That afternoon, Karen stormed into Vince's office with the newspaper.
