FreeNovelRita took a deep breath and said, "I want to continue investigating this issue about the Parr Group. I've found out
what happened to Virgil Cole."
"Don't try to fool me. A lot of reporters didn't even manage to get anything out of him. How is it that you
succeed in doing that?" cthe skeptical reply. Lenny did not know whether Rita was lucky or if she genuinely
had a knack for it. She had handled the matter with Claire all by herself the other day, and she later claimed to
have taken care of Virgil too. He wondered if it could have been beginners’ luck.
"Why would | want to fool you? If | hadn't heard the complete story from Virgil, | wouldn't have believed that such
forced evacuation is still a thing now. Anyway, that's it from me. | just wanted to inform you I've decided to
continue investigating," Rita explained before turning around to leave. However, she was soon stopped by Lenny.
"Hold it. What are your grounds for investigating them? Do you find out who's backing the developers before you
decide to dive head-in? Don't get yourself into trouble," Lenny cautioned.
"Don't worry. Even if something happens, I'll make sure you won't be implicated in it," Rita assured him.
Lenny was about to inquire further when someone knocked on the door again and interrupted their conversation.
He called for the person to enter in irritation.
"What's going on? Why is my office so busy today?" he grumbled.
"Boss! It's Sherman from Parr Group!" a newbie cin anxiously and explained. Everyone dreamed of

accepted any invitations. That made it all the stranger that he was visiting the New Capital Times" office.
Rita was stunned and wondered what Sherman was doing here. She thought that perhaps the reason he came
had something to do with Claire.
Rita knew that he had her contact,
so he would not have had to visit her workplace if he wanted to meet her For sreason, Rita felt irritable at
the thought of his arrival. If their paths were not meant to cross, perhaps it would be better for him to exit her
world completely,
"I'll excuse myself now that a big shot is here," Rita said. She was in a hurry to leave.
"Not yet. We haven't finished
discussing this," Lenny protested.
Rita's stubbornness did not seem to matter much to him anymore
because he was too excited at the sudden turn of luck. If he could snag an interview with Sherman, then his
year-end promotion would be all but sealed.
Rita attempted to slip away, but she bumped into Sherman as soon as she opened the door. They exchanged a
brief glance, and Rita subconsciously avoided his eyes. Sherman raised his eyebrows. "Don't you recognize me,
Miss Rita?"
Lenny glanced at Sherman, then at Rita. "Are you an acquaintance of our new hire?"
"More than that," Sherman replied.
"Not at all," Rita answered at the stas Sherman did.
Lenny accepted Sherman's
response and concluded that they
were indeed acquainted. Seeipgen
