Ice and Fire novel Chapter 237

Cherry thought for a while, and then said to Selina, "It's okay, I'll explain it to him if he asks about it."

"But, I'm afraid that he'll get angry! I don't want your relationship to be affected by your work!" replied Selina.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll only say a few words to Stephen and then leave. It's nothing serious, " said Cherry. She thought, 'If Jackson will be angry with me, then I'll also get mad at him.'

Selina pondered everything for a moment and eventually nodded her head.

Afterwards, Cherry left Selina's office and took the elevator downstairs, and then left the JS Group.

She drove her car to Stephen's club, but she didn't call him to inform him about her arrival.

After she arrived at the club, she got out of her car and then went straight inside. There weren't any customers at that time of the day, and the waiters were just cleaning the place. Cherry didn't talk to anyone, and instead immediately strode towards Stephen's office.

When she arrived at Stephen's office, she gently knocked on the door, but got no reply.

Cherry waited for a while, and then knocked again. She heard a vague voice coming from inside of it that said, "Come in..."

She then opened the door and entered the office, but she didn't see Stephen inside; instead, she saw only a stranger there.

Cherry looked at the young man who was sitting on the sofa not far away from her. He had a golden brown short hair in a fashionable style that was prevailing throughout the city. He wore casual clothes, and had an attractive appearance, with sparkling eyes, pretty lips, a delicate childish face that seemed to never grow old, and his warm and pleasant disposition resembled the sunlight. If Jackson was compared to the Prince of the Devils, then the young man looking at Cherry was like Prince Legolas from the Lord of the Rings.

Mond Xu stared at the woman in front of him. He had seen her before in photos, but he had never clearly observed her as he did now when she was standing in front of him. As he focused his eyes on her, he felt that he couldn't think about anything else but her. She was as pure as a young maiden, and nobody would have ever imagined that she was already a mother. She hadn't been very attractive at the first sight, but her fair appearance with her light make-up was a refreshing and sweet sight to lay eyes upon. Both her slim body and her quiet disposition could have easily aroused any man's desire to protect her. Mond Xu thought, 'No matter how crazy is Jackson Chu's about her, Stephen's still willing to do anything for her sake.'

"Hello, excuse me, is Mr. Stephen here?" said Cherry.

Mond Xu quickly snapped out of his trance, and as he looked at Cherry, replied, "Oh, you just missed him. What did you want to talk to him about?"

"Just some personal affairs, " replied Cherry with a smile. She thought that since the man was in Stephen's office all by himself, and that he greeted her so naturally, he surely must be one of Stephen's friends, and thus decided to friendly smile back at him as a gesture of politeness.

Mond Xu watched her smile, and felt that there was a special charm in it that almost captured his heart. He thought, 'This woman is obviously Jackson Chu's greatest fortune.'

"I don't know when he'll be back, but you can stay here and wait for him if you want, " lightly replied Mond Xu.

Cherry thought, 'Since Stephen isn't here and I don't know when he'll be back, I'd better leave, or otherwise I might risk to wait for him for a long time. Besides, Jackson doesn't know that I came here, and if he finds out that I stayed here for a long time, he'll be angry again.'

She shook her head, and while she was still smiling, she said to the stranger, "Perhaps I'd better come another time. Thank you for your help anyway!"

Mond Xu didn't say anything, and instead briefly nodded his head as a reply.

He then watched Cherry turn around and go through the door. He stared at her figure and felt that it was very attractive and pleasing.

After Cherry walked out of the club, she didn't call Stephen. She instead immediately got in her car and left.

Mond Xu was standing beside the window and watched Cherry drive away. He suddenly put on a cold face, and a cold atmosphere immediately filled the whole office.

Then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Stephen stepped inside his office. When he saw Mond Xu standing at the window, he asked, "What're you looking at?"

Mond Xu didn't turn around to face him, and without answering him, said, "Stephen, she's been here."
