Ice and Fire novel Chapter 407

Selina and Cherry had just sat down when Jackson and Derek walked through the door.

When Selina saw them, she smiled and said in a teasing manner, "Wow, you two arriving on time, this is a pleasant surprise."

Jackson ignored Selina's jabs, and headed straight to Cherry, sitting in the chair nearest her.

"We are always punctual for appointments, right Jackson?" Derek said as he sat in another nearby seat.

Cherry gazed lovingly at Jackson and in a sweet, soft voice she told him, "Wilson offered to pick Joe up at school; they should be here shortly. Do you mind if we wait here a little while?"

"No, that's fine, " Jackson said nodding as he pulled Cherry gently until she was on his lap, and snuggled in his arms.

Derek and Selina were so used to the intimate displays of attention between them, that they didn't seem to notice the lovebirds.

"Cherry, how is work going over at the H king Group? Are you familiar with things there?" asked Derek.

"Oh yes, I understand the office and workload there. If I have any questions though, Wilson is right there too, " replied Cherry smiling happily.

"It appears the H King Group will grow as well as the JS Group, " added Selina.

"Selina?" called Jackson.

"Yes? What is it?" Selina asked, giving Jackson a solemn look. She wondered what he was going to ask.

"What is going on over at the ZM Group recently?" Jackson inquired lightly.

Hearing Jackson's question, Derek and Cherry's smile vanished too, and they all looked serious. They knew Jackson actually wanted to know what Mond was up to, and not the ZM Group.

Selina responded, "There's nothing out of the ordinary. Everything is business as usual, except.…"

"Except, what?" Derek asked hurriedly.

"The relative calmness won't last long, " Selina looked at Jackson and continued with a professional clip in her voice, "Mond was focused on Grandpa Andrew's dealings and had paid little time to focus on the JS Group. Now, things are back to normal, and it's believed that Mond will come at the JS Group, soon."

Jackson sat silently lost in thought.

Derek thought a few minutes before angrily asked, "What the hell does he think he is doing? We're definitely not letting him off after what he did to Grandpa Chu. If he dares take action against the JS Group, it'll be even worse.

Cherry looked at Jackson expectantly, while she waited to hear his thoughts. Nobody could guess what Jackson was even thinking about though, as he sat there wearing a poker face.
