Sherman was seated next to Rita, so she noticed that he had left after the curtain call. When the lights came back on, Rita once again confirmed the seat number on her ticket andpared it to the one Sherman had upied.


    "Hmph, and he had the gall to say I got the wrong seat. Ooh, I''m going to catch him, or my name isn''t Rita Russell! Now I have both eyewitness and physical evidence. Let''s see how he tries to argue his way out of this."


    After gathering her evidence, she followed him.


    Rita found the staff she had asked to convey a message earlier and looked at him expectantly.


    The pressure was on for him. He did not want to disappoint such a beautiful reporter, but ire had a temper and was unwilling to ept interviews from anyone, whether it was from New Capital Times or elsewhere.


    "Sorry, Rita. Miss ire doesn''t really like doing interviews, so..."Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Could you please help me arrange a meeting with her? I represent New Capital Times! Just one meeting, and maybe after that, she''ll be convinced by what I have to say. Please..."


    The staff had to stop Rita no matter what. "I''m sorry. Miss ire had just finished a two-hour dance performance, so she''s quite exhausted and is resting backstage now. It might not be convenient for you to go over there right now. How about I''ll ask her againter? But please understand if she still doesn''t want to do the interview."


    Rita thought the staff was just making up excuses, so she refused to believe him.


    ''If Miss ire is really that tired, then how did that man get in?'' thought Rita.


    She watched Sherman walk past her and into the backstage. If she had ess, she would have confronted him directly.


    That alone proved that the staff were ustomed to Sherman''s presence. They even treated him with respect as they watched him walk in


    It was obvious that this was not the first time Sherman had acted thus, so there must be something going on between him and ire!


    "Please, I''m begging you. I just want to see Miss ire, even if I can''t interview her. I just want to tell her I''m a big fan of hers. Look, I''ve taken so many beautiful photos of her. Isn''t that enough to prove that I''m her fan?"


    The staff nced at Rita''s camera, somewhat surprised. Indeed, her photos were even better than those taken by their studio, especially in capturing the dynamic movements.


    Rita indeed had some skills. She was able to capture moments that truly portrayed the vitality of a. dancer. Something like this was not possible unless one possessed both artistic taste and photography skills.


    He had underestimated her. He had thought Rita would be like those gossip reporters, only bothering ire with trivial questions.


    Just as the staff hesitated whether to take another risk and ask, ire''s agent walked towards them. He immediately felt relieved.


    "Miss Serena, this is a reporter from New Capital Times. She wants to interview Miss ire, but Miss ire declined to do the interview when I asked," the staff exined. Serena Swanson was frowning, but when she heard that Rita had taken an exceptional set of photos, her face brightened with a smile. "How should I address you, Miss?"


    Rita felt a bit ufortable. "My name is Rita Russell. You can just call me Rita."


    "Okay, Rita. Can I see the photos you took of ire?"


    To gain their trust, Rita reluctantly showed them a few photos she had taken. She believed that after seeing these photos, they would develop a favorable impression of her.
