The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

“You can’t park here. This is a violation of the traffic rules. I need your driving license, please. You’ll be

given a demerit for your offense.”

Sherlyn snorted and said unhappily, “What’s wrong with parking here when there’s no one around? I’m

a famous public figure, and I’m only parking here because I’m worried about causing traffic if my fans

recognize me and surround me when I get out of the car.

“This is for your benefit too, you know. I’m helping you reduce your burden!”

The traffic officer was unmoved. “Your status is irrelevant. This is a pedestrian street, and no one is

allowed to park here. What you’re doing is a violation of the law, and if you insist on refusing to

cooperate, I’ll uphold the law and tow your car away.”

“What? How dare you!” Sherlyn took down her sunglasses. “Take a good look at who I am! Don’t you

know how many millions of fans I have on the internet? You’d better be careful or I’ll get all my fans to

sue you!”

The traffic officer did not even look at her as he picked up the walkie-talkie and called a tow truck to

come over.

Sherlyn flew into a rage and jumped out of the car to quarrel with the traffic officer, with the ensuing

commotion attracting the attention of a group of passers-by.

Few recognized her though, and everyone accused her of being indecorous.

Humiliated, Sherlyn did not let her arrogance loose anymore.

She could only watch helplessly as her little car was towed away by the tow truck, and she later

happened to see Corinne come out of the dingy restaurant after finishing her meal.

Sherlyn was instantly reminded of her purpose there and no longer cared that her car was being towed

away. She slipped away from the crowd at once and tailed behind Corinne.

Corinne walked into a large shopping mall on Old Town Street and went straight to a luxury brand’s

flagship store, where she began choosing clothes without hiding from view. Sherlyn’s eyeballs were

nearly popping out of their sockets as she glared and observed everything from the dark.

Sherlyn concluded that Corinne had clearly been up to something. There was no explanation for how

she could get the money to shop in luxury stores and even choose from the most expensive section.

As soon as Corinne picked the clothes, she went out through the door on the other side of the luxury

store.

Sherlyn was still hot on Corinne’s heels when the store manager greeted her cordially and stopped her.

“We’ve packaged all the clothes you chose, Miss Sherlyn. Are you paying by cash or credit card?”

A confused look appeared on Sherlyn’s face. “You must’ve made a mistake. I just walked into your

store!”

The store manager smiled and said, “Aren’t you the famous actress Sherlyn Carew? Your assistant

came in here earlier and picked them for you according to your size. We’ve already packed them for

you, so you just need to pay up.”

Sherlyn could only frown. “What in the world is going on? I came here alone without bringing any

assistants. I never planned on buying any clothes from your store either!”

Some of the store’s salespeople gathered together and whispered among themselves.

“Are the clothes too expensive for her?”

“Look at what she’s wearing. That style is so two years ago!”

“The other actresses were very generous when they came to our store. Sherlyn seems to be a little

poor, though. I heard that she quit the industry a few days ago, so I’m guessing money is tight for

her…”

Sherlyn stared at her and said, “Who told you I couldn’t afford it? I just don’t like your style of clothes!”

The store manager said shrewdly, “Don’t worry, Miss Sherlyn. These are this season’s latest styles, and

the fashion guru Raufoy personally designed them. They are the epitome of fashion. It’d be such a

shame if you couldn’t afford them…”

“Who said I couldn’t afford them? I have lots of money! Take my card!” Sherlyn valued her reputation

more than anything else, and she could not stand to hear the snide remarks that all the store’s

salespeople were whispering among themselves. She gritted her teeth, gave her card, and watched as

several thousand dollars disappeared from her account with a swipe.

She finally realized that Corinne was the one who engineered the entire situation after noticing she was

tailing her. The traffic officer that came to tow the car away earlier was probably Corinne’s doing, too!

‘Curse you, Corinne!’

When Sherlyn came out of the luxury store with her shopping bag, she ran like the wind to chase after

Corinne. She wanted Corinne to return the car and compensate for all the money she spent.

Alas, she was a step too late, for Corinne had gotten into another taxi as soon as Sherlyn reached the

entrance of the shopping mall. Sherlyn hailed a taxi and ordered the driver to follow her.

Corinne’s taxi eventually brought her to the city center, where she got out, and dragged her luggage

bag into a very grand house with a somewhat dated design.

A look of disbelief unfolded across Sherlyn’s face, because every inch of land in the city center was

super expensive, and only the richest of the rich could afford to build a private residence there!

‘How could that b*tch Corinne just strut in that kind of place? Did she really succeed in establishing

some sort of connection with a very important person?!’

At this time, a black car drove over and stopped at the gate of the residence. Francine got out of the

car with the help of several maids, having just been discharged from the hospital after being put on an

intravenous drip. She did not seem to be in a very good mood.

Upon spotting the people, Sherlyn went over and asked, “Excuse me, may I ask who’s the owner of this

house?”

Francine had a disgusted look on her face as she glanced at Sherlyn’s outdated clothes from top to

bottom. “What are you doing here? How dare you poke your nose around our place!”

Sherlyn’s mind went blank. She was severely lacking in confidence as she stood in front of Francine,

as the latter was wearing several limited-edition luxury items. She merely smiled awkwardly and said,

“Uh… I… I’m here to look for my sister. I just saw her walk in here…”

Francine was starting to get a little impatient. “Your sister? What’s her name?”
