Ice and Fire novel Chapter 105

Selina couldn't guess Cherry's thoughts just by looking at her expression.

At first she was confused, but then something suddenly sprung in her mind. She immediately said, "Was it because of Sally?"

When Sally's name was mentioned, Cherry recalled the day when Sally's eyes had gleamed with hate in the hotel. During the past five years, it seemed that Jackson and Sally had kept a harmonious and stable relationship. Sally had always been together with Jackson, and of course that from the first moment when Cherry had returned to the city, her hate had also exponentially grown.

Selina thought that her hunch was correct. She took Cherry's hand, and said, "Please trust me. They aren't together, and I'm sure that Jackson doesn't love her. Sally's character has always been a mystery to me."

It suddenly occurred to Selina that Lori had once said to her that Sally was a woman with lots of secrets, but nobody knew what exactly those secrets were. Or, what her true motives and goals were.

Cherry didn't care about those secrets. She looked at Selina, and said indifferently, "Miss Selina, now that you know the true story between Jackson and me, if you want me out of the company, I will leave immediately. I know that Jackson hates me for abandoning him five years ago, and it's really okay if you're on his side."

Selina never thought that Cherry had this sort of idea in her mind. She had never intended to fire Cherry, but instead she had summoned her in her office because she wanted to know the reason why she had left Jackson.

Selina shook her head, and said, "No, you misunderstood me, I don't want you to go."

Cherry was surprised, and wondered, 'Then why am I here? It seems that she knows everything.'

"Cherry, you're still Jackson's wife, and thus one of my family members. I only wanted to find out why you left five years ago, that's all, " said Selina.

Cherry hastily replied, "I was indeed one of your family members, but that was five years ago. Everything is different now."

Speechless, Selina had to respect Cherry's words, and said, "Okay, that's fine with me, I can understand."

Cherry nodded to her in approval.

"Well, can you at least tell me why you left Jackson five years ago?" asked Selina.

Cherry shook her head at the idea of explaining herself.

Selina was a bit anxious, and continued to say, "If you tell me now what was your reason for leaving, I can help you work off Jackson's anger, and you can come back to Chu Family again."
