The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"If you don't see yourself as a joke, then no one can tell you otherwise. How can you even think of going to see Sherman when you're acting all crazy like this? Do you think he'll meet you? And even if he does, what will you say? You need to have a game plan before running off to find him!

"Why do you think you managed to keep him by your side all these years? Isn't it because you're considerate and gentle? Moreover, you two have a shared history. If you lose even those now, let me tell you, you'll truly have no chance to get back together with him."

Claire stopped in her tracks, her hand trembling as she held the keys. Tears finally streamed down her face. "Serena, have all my efforts been futile? I came back from abroad, where I already established myself, for him. But now, he turns and marries another girl. I don't even know who she is. Why am I so useless... Did he ever really care about me, or was everything just my imagination?"

Serena quickly pulled her to the sofa. "How could you think like that? We've all seen how Sherman treated you. He truly cherishes you. Why else would he attend all of your performances? Even the ones abroad! Even your biggest fans couldn't achieve that! Think about it, has anything happened since you returned? Has there been another woman in his life?"

Claire's expression changed abruptly. "It's that woman, that rat. I've never heard Sherman praising another woman except for her!"

"Don't worry. Now that we've identified the problem, we can find a solution," Serena reassured. "Who is this woman, and what's her background?"

"It's none other than the woman who fought with Sherman for the seat I reserved for him. She's the daughter of Vince Russell. Huh! I used to think she was just some naive girl, but when think about it, I realize everything from her first meeting with Sherman to her later inviting him to her dinner party was all part of her scheme.

"She's truly cunning and not to be underestimated. Sherman probably thought she was so innocent and different, but how different could she be? Men always get manipulated by women like her."

Serena pondered for a moment. "Have you thought of what you'd do if it was her?"

After a long pause, Claire sighed

heavily and covered her face as tears streamed down. "I don't know how many times I've fantasized about standing beside Sherman in a wedding gown, only to find someone else has taken my place. All my years of planning and scheming have gone down the drain."

However, Serena felt the situation might not be as dire as Claire imagined. "Don't be too quick to

despair. Don't you think Sherman'et

grand wedding should've been, announced to the world? Maybe I've exaggerated things a bit in my mind since I don't really know how families like theirs handle weddings."
