The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2770

Rita pressed Lenny's shoulder and guided him to sit on the sofa.

"Boss, how can you say I'm making things difficult for you? From start to finish, I've been a victim in this matter. I've been trying to figure out how to deal with Chase spreading rumors about me, and I never expected you and the higher-ups to care so much about your subordinates and take care of it for me.

"But I want to know how Mister Sherman is related to this matter. Since I overheard you talking to him, why not just tell me the truth? I should at least thank him if he'd helped, don't you think so? You wouldn't want me to owe him a favor, would you?"

Rita's words had nothing to do with Lenny. He thought that maybe Sherman had taken a liking to her since he was willing to help her. In any case, as long as he could extricate himself, how Rita and Sherman resolved this matter was no longer his concern.

"Don't eavesdrop on me next time!" Lenny took a sip of coffee before recounting what happened after Rita slammed the door and left that afternoon.

"Heaven knows how you're so lucky. Even though you treated Mister Sherman like that, he still helped you resolve the issue with Chase so kindheartedly. Although for him, it's just a matter of saying a few words, Chase's uncle could have caused trouble for us.

"Of course, Mister Sherman doesn't even consider these two people worth his attention. He just kept reminding us repeatedly not to let you know about this matter, to handle it quietly, and clear your name."

Rita could not shake off her frustration at this point. None of this would have happened if Lenny had taken action to dismiss Chase earlier.

Lenny sighed. "You don't understand our situation. You all think we have the power to get Chase fired. But have you ever considered just what kind of position his uncle holds? We can't afford to offend someone like that.

"Luckily, we have Mister Sherman this time. If we encounter someone like Chase in the future, we'll probably have to endure it again, so can you please control your temper next time? You're a young woman, and your reputation is important. You can't afford to be so indifferent."
