NovelEnglishLenny gulped, wondering if Sherman had cover because of the recent interview. He glanced at Rita and
seemed to have cto a conclusion. Sherman recognized Rita because she had gotten in trouble again!
Rita glared fiercely at Sherman, having already told him that she had her own methods to uncover the truth.
There was no reason for him to be there unless it was to intervene.
"You don't need to concern yourself with this issue, Mister Sherman. This matter is under the purview of New
