Cherry then said to Selina, "Selina, can I borrow your phone?"
Selina gave her phone to Cherry, and said, "Here you are. I'll go get two cups of coffee."
Cherry nodded to her, and after she saw that Selina walked into the tea room, she went to the sofa and sat down on it. She then dialled Jackson's number on Selina's phone.
Jackson's voice soon came from the other end of the line. "Hi, Selina!"
"It's me, Cherry."
Jackson replied surprisedly, "Honey! Are you back at the JS?"
"Yeah, I just got back earlier and Selina told me to call you, " said Cherry.
"Did something happen to you while you were out to meet with the client? I was very worried about you when I couldn't find you!" said Jackson.
Cherry said, "I'm alright; how could I get injured at work? You don't need to worry about me!"
"Well, it's good to hear that you're back. I was just worried about you, " gently said Jackson.
"What are you doing now?" asked Cherry.
I'm on my way to deal with some matters with Derek, " replied Jackson.
"Well, then I'll hang up now. I'll pick up Joe after school, but get home early, okay?" said Cherry.
"Okay, " replied Jackson. He felt very happy when he heard what Cherry said, and he was very lucky to have such a lovely wife and son.
Just after she finished her conversation with Jackson, Cherry saw Selina coming to her with two cups of coffee in her hands.
"How'd it go? Did you call Jackson?" said Selina, with a smile on her face. She thought, 'This young couple is really sticky. Jackson was worried about Cherry so much just because he couldn't call her! He's always been a cold and unconcerned person in my mind, but why is he so considerate for his wife? When did Jackson become such a warm-hearted person?'
After Cherry took the cup from Selina's hand, she said with a big smile on her face, "Yes, I called him. You said that you have some questions about a document? What's the problem?"
Selina sat leisurely next to Cherry and said, "Let's forget about work for the moment. It's just a minor problem, I'd like to ask you that before you leave."
Cherry smiled to her, and then asked, "Then what do you want to know from me? Is it..." Cherry paused for a second and stared at Selina. She then asked, "About my brother, Wilson?"
Selina bowed her head down with shyness the moment she heard the name "Wilson". She didn't want to know something about him specifically, but she thought about him when she saw the love between Cherry and Jackson.
Cherry understood that she was indeed right after she saw Selina's expression. She smiled, and said to her, "Well, alright, I'll tell you something about my brother then."
Selina smiled happily.
