Ice and Fire novel Chapter 320

When she opened the door, Cherry saw that Mond was standing in front of the French window, gazing outside.

Even though he knew that she had walked in, he still didn't turn around to look at her.

Cherry then walked up to him and stopped when she was just a couple of feet away from him, but Mond still had his back turned to her. Cherry was confused by his reaction, and she asked, "Why are you here?"

After he heard Cherry's question, Mond slowly turned around to look at her. He answered, "Haven't I told you already?"

"What have you told me already?" asked Cherry confused, but expressionless.

Mond slightly smiled at her, and replied, "I'm your client."

"But your name isn't on the contract. What's going on here?" asked Cherry. She thought it was quite strange for her to find him there.

"Cherry, you're such a silly girl!" replied Mond. He resigned himself to the thought that sometimes she was foolish, but cute.

Cherry felt annoyed when she heard what he had just said to her, because she still didn't get the answer to her question.

When he saw that he got no reply out of Cherry, Mond felt the urge to explain things to her in more detail. This feeling was new to him, because up until then he had never felt the need to explain anything to anyone. Why did he suddenly want to do that?

"You know that my target is the JS Group, and specifically Jackson, " said Mond slowly.

Then it dawned on Cherry. She couldn't believe what she had just heard, and said, "But the company isn't yours!"

"I will take over his company, " said Mond without any sort of hesitation.

"Do you mean that the moment this contract is signed, the company will belong to you?" asked Cherry, while pointing to the contract in her hand.

"Cherry, you're even more clever than I thought, " replied Mond, with the corner of his lips curling up.

Cherry shook her head, shocked by his horrible and disastrous idea. She thought, 'If someone else had come here today to get this contract signed, they wouldn't have had a clue about what they were actually doing.'

"What are you up to?" asked Cherry, while she stared at Mond.

Instead of answering her question, Mond started to walk towards the sofa. He then sat down on it, crossed his legs, and looked at Cherry. He slowly said, "There's no need to rush. You know, I rarely book the whole place, and I think that we should first sit down and catch up on things." Mond paused a second, and then continued to say, "Don't you want to know the things about Jackson?"

When she heard him, Cherry's heart skipped a beat. She was eager to know every detail there was to know about her husband, Jackson.

She then walked towards the sofa and sat down opposite to Mond.

He casually laughed, and as he looked at her, said, "I can see that the only things that can draw your attention are about him."

"Why the JS Group?" asked Cherry.

"Because I hate Jackson!" replied Mond, while firmly looking at Cherry with his eyes burning with anger.

"Why do you hate him so much? Has he wronged you in some way?" asked Cherry again.

"What he's done to me was awful, " answered Mond, slowly stressing each syllable while fury started to show on his face.
