The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Vince nodded grimly. "I know you're not one to lie, Mister Sherman. However, I'm not going to let it slide if I find out that any part of what you said today is untrue."

Sherman nodded as well. "I understand."

The two men exchanged words that Karen could not hear as she anxiously paced outside Rita's door.

"Mom, have you lost your mind? Why would you even think of sending Sherman to Rita's room? Are you crazy? You know perfectly well that I have feelings for him. Why would you let that despicable woman have this chance? Is it because you're addicted to being a good stepmother? Have you really started to see yourself as that woman's mother? What are you even thinking?" Sadie asked Karen hysterically. She was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. The thought of the man she liked having been intimate with the woman she despised made her want to burst into the room and slash Rita with a knife. However, she could only stand outside the door, unable to do anything.

"Do you think I've lost my mind? How could I possibly let Rita have Sherman? I sent a thug in, not him!" Karen whispered vehemently to Sadie. "Are you going to abandon me for a man? Do you have any idea how hurtful your words are? There must've been a mistake somewhere in all of this, which I haven't figured out yet. But you come here and berate me right away. For a man!

Sadie cried out in frustration, covering her head. Ever since Esmond's name was brought up last time, her mother had been acting strangely. Sadie had some suspicions
