Ice and Fire novel Chapter 106

After Cherry hung up, she called Stephen, and briefed him about their dinner with Wilson. Since he hadn't spoken with Cherry for a couple of days, Stephen agreed with the arrangement, because he also wanted to chat more with her.

After she finished her work, Cherry came to his bar.

Cherry hesitated to come inside it, and she called Stephen and asked him to meet her outside.

A couple of moments later, Stephen came out through the door and entered her car. Cherry started the engine and then drove away.

Neither Cherry nor Stephen noticed that after Stephen came out of the bar, a camera had been recording their every movement until the moment they left.

Inside the car, Stephen asked, "Why do you want to introduce me to your brother today?"

Cherry smiled at him, and said, "I should have done this a long time ago. You know that I've been busy recently, and besides, my brother's also busy with running his newly established company, the Sky Group. Have you heard of it?"

Stephen nodded, and answered, "Of course, I did. The Sky Group is like a miracle in the business world, and besides, it seems to me that the Sky Group is also in the Future Project."

Cherry was a bit surprised, and asked, "Are you sure? I don't know about that, but I do know that the JS Group has joined the project. One of my colleagues told me this."

Stephen was confused, and wasn't sure whether Cherry actually knew that Jackson was the actual controller of the JS Group. If she knew that, would she have still worked for the JS Group?

Stephen thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, the JS Group is pretty big, and the Future Project is supposed to be reaping staggering profits by the day. The JS Group couldn't have given up on this rare opportunity."

Cherry couldn't help but smile, and answered, "I have a vague understanding of how the business circles work. After I introduce you to my brother tonight, you two can help each other out, and I'll feel comfortable with my work for the JS Group."

Stephen agreed with Cherry, because she had done her job the best as she could. She didn't have to be involved with complicated and obscure business affairs. She was living a good life and was doing her job, just like any other people from the wage earning middle class, and although sometimes this kind of ordinary life seemed to be too plain, it actually couldn't have been better for her.

Stephen gave her a big grin, and said, "Well, I'm pleased to see you living a good life now."

"Thank you, " said Cherry merrily.

The cheerful expression on her face satisfied Stephen's wish of taking good care of Cherry.

As they entered the restaurant Wilson chose, Cherry and Stephen said to a waiter, "There's a Mr. Wilson waiting for us. Can you show us to him?"

When the waiter heard that they were Wilson's friends, he hastily answered, "Right away!"

After the waiter showed them to the door of a VIP room, he respectfully said, "Mr. Wilson is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you. You can leave us for now, " answered Cherry politely.
