The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Ironically, they-as reporters-hated nothing more than injustices in the world. It was their mission to expose such darkness. When it came to themselves, however, they had no choice but to submit to reality. Nonetheless, Rita was different. She had no qualms about confronting Chase head-on.

The other colleagues felt quite vindicated when they saw Chase seething with anger at being unable to counter-argue Rita.
