FreeNovelRita turned abruptly and offered a sorrow-tinged smile. "Thank goodness you're the only one here. If it were anyone else, they'd probably think I'm making much ado about nothing. It does sound a little absurd to feel sad when I'm born into a well-off family." Sherman kept quiet, and there was not a trace of disdain or sarcasm in his expression. After a prolonged pause, he said, "We have no control over our birth or which family we'd be born into. The only aspect we can control is our destiny. If all you see are the limitations imposed by your surname, then you'll forever be caught by it. However, your life could take a vastly different turn if you can recognize the advantages it affords.

You don't need any validation from anyone." Rita was taken aback. She had not expected their encounter to be so unexpectedly profound. She was also incredibly surprised that he would be willing to engage her in so much conversation. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart," she said. "I didn't think you'd say all that stuff to helpease this anxiety. My family isn't the sas it used to be. You saw that earlier. I always feel powerless whenever I have to face that sort of situation. Perhaps that's the reason my outlook on life is always a negative one. But you're right when you said that this surnhas providedwith a lot of things. I guess being rich is one example." Rita's wry grin mirrored Sherman's own amusement. "You still have your wit, so I take it as a sign that you're not as depressed about the whole thing as you think you are." "Perhaps you're right," she agreed. "And you have a far better sense of humor than I expected. If it hadn't been for what happened earlier, we might've been able to becgood friends. But I will reiterate again that I didn't take your seat. It might be a good idea to check with Miss Claire on whether you had been assigned the wrong seat." Sherman found Rita's directness refreshing. It had been stsince he had conversed with someone so straightforward. He appreciated not having to decipher hidden meanings behind her words.
"You've raised a reasonable possibility. I will find out. If there's been a misunderstanding, then I hope I can make it up to you during our next meeting." Rita nodded. "I'm sure we'll meet each other again soon." The interview seemed to be inching toward success, along with uncovering the truth of his relationship with Claire.
"You've been away from the banquet long enough. Shall we return and enjoy a glass of red wine? It's a vintage my mother reserved for special occasions." "Don't mind if I do, then," Sherman replied graciously.
However, Rita was not willing to part with her mother's cherished wine so easily. Even though Sherman's insights had cas a surprise to her, she knew that the cutthroat nature of the corporate world was something that removed all traces of naivete and innocence from a person. That was especially the case with a man like him. Any information about his personal life would surely be guarded very securely.
