The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

"We need the public to be involved in our art form. Artists don't create just for themselves to admire their own art," said Claire,
showcasing such deep insights at such a young age, which surprised Rita. "I didn't expect that it was from such pure intention
that you've accepted my interview. I thought..." Rita trailed off.
Claire smiled lightly. "You thought what? That I just wanted to become more famous? Well, that's one of my goals. If I become
more famous, wouldn't it also mean that more audiences get to know about contemporary dance? My fame and dance are
definitely complementary."
Claire's straightforwardness was in stark contrast to the impression she had left on Rita during their first encounter. Rita was
deeply impressed by Claire's charm, and the interview proceeded in a very relaxed
manner.
"One last question. It's about your personal life, and you don't have to answer if you're not comfortable with it," said Rita.
"Oh, don't worry about it. As a dancer, I'm also a public figure, and if my audience wants to know, I'm willing to share.
Unfortunately, I'm single at the moment," Claire replied.
"Oh?" Rita chuckled. "Then may I ask, do you have a type for men?"
Claire smiled coyly and lowered her head. "I like successful men who are responsible."
"I'm sure you'll have many people courting you after this interview is published," Rita commented calmly, but inside, she was
ecstatic.
'Successful and responsible! Isn't she describing Sherman? She's basically confessing her feelings to Sherman in public,'
thought Rita.
She wondered what Sherman's
reaction would be when he heard about this. Their relationship was not entirely clear to her. It seemed strange to her that they
were not together at this point when they already knew each other.
"Well, that's all for today. It was a pleasure meeting you, Miss Claire, and I am honored to be the first reporter to interview you,"
Rita said, extending her hand to shake Claire's. Claire also shook Rita's hand. "It's a win-win situation for both of us. Thank you
for your hard work."

"Then the interview is officially over. I'll email your agent the interview draft once it's ready, and after you've confirmed there's no
mistake, I'll forward it to our editor-in-chief for publication scheduling," Rita explained.
"Alright, goodbye, Rita."
Claire maintained a faint smile on her face throughout the
conversation, appearing much more relaxed than on stage. However, as soon as she stepped into her car, her expression
changed.
"I'm exhausted. Don't schedule interviews like this for me again." She took out her makeup mirror to touch up her makeup. She
still had to make a visit to Sherman's place later.
