The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2769

Chase was no longer a part of New Capital Times.

"Alright, Chase is gone, so you can all breathe a sigh of relief. I hope you all can learn from this incident and not bully newcomers just because of your seniority. Understand?"

"Yes, sir! We understand."

"Good. Let's get back to work, then."

Lenny returned to his office, while Rita remained seated for a while, still wondering why he had suddenly stood up for her.

However, before she could knock on his office door, she heard the sound of him making a phone call coming from inside.

She turned to leave, but she heard her name being mentioned.

"Yes. The matter has been handled according to your instructions. Rita doesn't know it was at your behest that we dealt with Chase. Yes, you can rest assured about that. She definitely won't find out. Yes, we look forward to you coming to New Capital Times again, Mister Sherman."

'Sherman?!' Rita was stunned. 'Is this the same Sherman I know? But who else can make Lenny speak with such reverence? Also, how could this matter possibly be related to him?'

Rita was beyond shocked. She did not know if the person she was thinking of was the same Sherman as Lenny was speaking to, but other than him, she could not think of another Sherman.

She could not figure out why Sherman would have Lenny solve the Chase issue for her and explicitly asked not to tell her. What could the reason be?

Rita tore through the veil of secrecy, causing Lenny's eyes to widen. "What nonsense are you talking about? Mister Sherman or not, this was a decision made by me and the higher-ups. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

"Oh, is that so? Then I might as well call Mister Sherman and ask. After all, I have his number." Rita pretended to be indifferent as she pulled out her phone, prompting Lenny to jump out from behind his desk.

"Stop, stop!" Lenny then sighed. "I really can't with you."

He had just assured Sherman that Rita would not find out about this, but he did not expect her to guess it so quickly. It would be like handing himself on a serving platter if Rita called Sherman.

"What exactly do you want? We've handled the situation already. Can't you just go back to work? Why do you have to make things difficult for me?"
