Ice and Fire novel Chapter 406

Cherry adjusted herself physically and mentally. She put the meeting with Mond out of her mind, and smiled, adopting the ethos that everything was fine. When she had her mindset right, she answered the call, "Hi, Selina!"

Selina's voice came through the line, bubbling and full of delight, "Hi, Cherry, what are you up to?"

"Oh! Not much, just handling some simple documents, nothing pressing."

Selina asked Cherry, "How has your day at work been? Is it going well?"

Instead of responding to Selina's questions, Cherry joked with her, "Selina, are you asking me as Wilson's wife?"

"Oh my gosh! Of course not, Cherry! I just want to know how you are." Selina explained quickly.

"All right, I know. I'm just kidding." Cherry giggled as she talked, "I'm fine at the company. Wilson takes good care of me, and the work isn't tiring."

"As he should! After all, Jackson ordered me to inform Wilson of what would happen if you were tired out at work. He would call on Wilson."

"Really? Did he really say that?" It surprised Cherry that Jackson would do that. She thought he had been joking that night. It was unexpected that Jackson would stick to his word on this.

"Of course he did. You are more important than anyone in Jackson's world. Do you think he would just stand by if you are suffering? No! Of course not!" Selina said.

"Well, it's Wilson's company, and how he deals with it is his business. Including how he treats his staff and that means me. Jackson shouldn't meddle. If Jackson orders you again, just ignore him please. He is just being a bully." Cherry's voice was angry and waivered. Inside though she was thrilled and her heart soared. The love Jackson felt for her was a fairytale come true, and better than her imagination, because it was reality and he was her husband!

Selina replied in a rush flustered manner, "Cherry, I couldn't do that! I would never dare oppose Jackson, it would tantamount to insubordination."

Cherry knew that Selina was kidding too, "Well then, if you say so, Selina. Then I guess just let Jackson do as his wishes. Let's see how far he will go."

Selina excitedly asked, "Oh, I just had a great idea! Cherry, how about having dinner together? I'll call Jackson and Derek; you and Wilson meet us at the JS Group!"

"Meet at the JS Group? Wait! I don't think I can. You know I need to pick Joe up, right from work." Cherry replied. How could she forget her dear Joe?

"How about asking Bill to pick Joe up? If Bill isn't available, I'll send one of my men to pick him up, all right?" Selina said.

Cherry thought about it, "Well, okay, I'll have Bill pick Joe up. I'll call him now."

"Good, have Bill get Joe and then tell him to bring Joe to the JS Group. I'll wait for them in my office. Then we can have dinner with our dear Joe too, all right?." Selina suggested.

"Okay. I'll call Wilson now. You tell Jackson and Derek." Cherry said smiling.

"Good."

Cherry went to Wilson's office as soon as she hung up.

Wilson said "Please, enter." when he heard someone knocking. He raised his head, surprised to see Cherry.
