The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

"You can just buy the photos. There are many ways to handle it. Alright, it's settled then. You'll pick me up tomorrow."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Sherman could not help but sigh. Despite being close friends with Claire, they always seemed unable to progress further. He knew he had always harbored some resentment over that issue. They were just destined to stay as they were.

Claire hung up the phone, her smile fading. She turned to her agent with a cold expression. "Are the paparazzi arranged for tomorrow?"

"Everything's arranged, but are you sure about this? Mister Sherman will be angry if he's caught by the paparazzi. None of his photos have ever been put up online before..."

Serena hesitated before adding, "Won't this push him further away?"

"What do you know? You don't understand him at all. I just want to give him a little pressure. He's the type that takes one step back whenever I take one step to him. I know he still minds about what happened back then, but it's been so long! And there's nothing wrong with getting some exposure; it'll help boost my popularity. By the way, what about the interview from last time? Why hasn't the draft been sent over yet? That female reporter isn't very efficient, is she?"

Serena quickly replied, "Someone from New Capital Times contacted me, saying that to show their sincerity, they've assigned a more experienced reporter to write this article. So it took some time during the handover. Don't worry, they definitely won't neglect you."
