Ice and Fire novel Chapter 149

"Really?" Cherry asked again, because she still couldn't believe her ears.

Selina nodded to confirm it to her again, and then said, "It doesn't mean that I don't want to help you, but I think that you should talk with Jackson about that. He'll surely help you if you ask him, and then it'll be done."

Cherry was lost in thought and didn't say anything. She still hadn't come back to earth from what she heard, that the real owner of the JS Group was actually Jackson.

Selina analyzed the situation, and said, "Actually, it's okay for the JS Group to help with your brother's company. The JS Group won't lose anything, just as you said, however, the company isn't under my signature, it's under Jackson's." Selina paused for a moment, and then continued, "So, Cherry, I think you'd better ask Jackson for help."

Cherry didn't process Selina's words, and instead asked her, "So you've been the executive on the surface, and Jackson was the one who's been conducting all the things in the dark?"

Selina thought for a while, and said, "You're almost right about that. The important decisions were all made after I've consulted with Jackson, of course, but the affairs in the company are under my charge. In a few words, I'm not a real director, but an executive director."

Cherry then suddenly fell into silence.

Selina continued, "Cherry, just go and find Jackson. He'll surely help you, don't worry about it!"

But Cherry plainly replied, "There's no need for me to do that. I'll figure it out by myself some other way."

After that, Cherry turned around and left, with her heart filled with bitterness. She wasn't afraid of meeting with Jackson, but she was afraid that he would require her to return to the apartment as a precondition of his help to her.

As Selina watched Cherry leaving her office she felt apologetic. She thought that Cherry was unwilling to seek Jackson's help because she was too stubborn. On the other hand, as she had already assumed, once Jackson knew that Cherry was in distress, he would do everything that was in his power to get her out of it. Because Cherry wasn't willing to see Jackson by herself, she decided to be the couple's messenger.

Selina took out her phone and then called Jackson's number.

Cherry stood up from her seat. She had finished sorting out all the data and was about to send it to the financial department, but just after she entered the elevator, her mobile phone rang in her hand.

Cherry glanced at it and found that the call was unexpectedly coming from Jackson.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Cherry got out of it but didn't go to the financial department; instead, she stepped towards the staircase and answered Jackson's call.

"Hi, " calmly answered Cherry.

"Are you busy?" asked Jackson softly. He thought that she might be busy, because she hadn't immediately answered her phone.

"I'm fine, " said Cherry, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

Jackson felt excited when he heard Cherry's voice. He thought, 'What a silly girl she is! She needs my help but doesn't know how to ask for it.'
