Ice and Fire novel Chapter 123

It was almost noon when Cherry returned to the company, but Selina still hadn't arrived the company yet. Cherry planned to meet with her, but she had asked her to stay in the company and wait for her. Selina told Cherry that she could handle everything okay, so Cherry waited for her until she came back in the afternoon.

Selina returned, but she didn't ask Cherry about what had happened earlier in the morning because she believed that those things were not really difficult for Cherry. Besides, she wasn't interested in Wilson's child.

For the whole afternoon, Cherry and Caroline were both busy being engaged in a meeting with Selina.

When Cherry returned to the CEO's area, she suddenly found that there were two people sitting in Selina's office. She took a serious glance at them, and recognized that the two were actually Jackson and Derek.

When he saw her, Derek nodded to Cherry greeting her, and Cherry replied the same.

Selina saw them, and as she smiled to them, she asked, "How did you two end up here?"

"We came here because we had nothing else to do, " said Derek, "But we couldn't find you here, and no one even served us with a glass of water while we waited for you."

Derek's words reminded Cherry that she should have served them tea, because she was, after all, Selina's secretary.

Cherry hastily went to grab two cups of tea from the tea room, and then placed them in front of Jackson and Derek.

Jackson glanced at Cherry without saying a word.

Shortly after she served the tea, Cherry left.

After he saw Cherry leaving, Derek looked at Jackson, and said, "Why didn't you talk to her?"

Jackson didn't reply, and instead took a sip of his cup of tea.

Smiling, Selina put down the documents that she was carrying in her hands and sat next to Jackson. She put her hand on Jackson's shoulder, and said, "Hey, buddy, she's your wife, not a stranger. Do you really have to pretend to be cool in front of me and my brother?"

Although Jackson wanted to teach Selina a lesson, he couldn't.

Derek also smiled mischievously, but without saying a word.

Selina then suddenly suggested, "Do you want to have dinner together tonight? My treat."

Selina looked at Jackson, who was still silent, and then looked at Derek.

Derek spread his hands in a helpless posture, and said, "I'm free for the evening."

After she heard Derek's words, Selina raised her voice, and called for Cherry, "Cherry, come in!"

Cherry heard Selina calling out her name and hurried inside.

Selina smiled at her, and said, "How about we have dinner together tonight?"

Cherry saw that Selina was sitting next to Jackson, but because Jackson had his head turned away from her, she couldn't see his expression, and thought that he didn't want to look at her.

She said, "Sorry, but I have something else to do tonight, and I want to go ear..." but Derek suddenly interrupted her before she could finish her words.

He knew that Cherry was trying to excuse herself somehow.

Derek hastily said, "Sister-in-law, you know that we haven't eaten together for a long time now, and since you're back and also already have such a good relationship with Selina, and Jackson and I are available, I think that it would be a good opportunity for us to eat together tonight. Come on, it's my treat."

Derek got up from his seat and went to Cherry. If he wanted to persuade her, he had to take more action about it.

When she saw that Cherry didn't agree, Selina quickly left from Jackson's side and walked to Cherry. She held her arm, and in a childish manner, said, "Oh, sister-in-law, come on, please say that you'll come. Like what Derek said, it would be a great opportunity for us to have a meal together. Do you really want to disappoint me and my brother when we're looking so forward to it?"

Looking at Selina, who was playfully acting like a little sister around her, Cherry's heart softened.
