Ice and Fire novel Chapter 459

"No!" Cherry stood in the doorway to block him from leaving. "You're the client I'm here to meet. I'm from the H King Group, and I need to talk to you about the business affairs. How can you leave now?"

"Mrs. Cherry, you can speak with Mr. Mond, and he will sign the contract with you, if you make the deal. It's all still valid, " the man reassured her before pushing past her to leave.

Temper flaring, she sat in the chair before her. Cherry looked at Mond angrily. "What are you doing here? "Why do you interrupt my work?"

"Would you have agreed to see me if I hadn't interrupted your work?" he asked smugly. Cherry had to admit that she wouldn't have. He had tried so many times to see her, and she refused every time. She resolved that she wouldn't keep a pleasant attitude towards him if she must meet with him.

"Why must I see you? Is there anything to say between you and me?" asked Cherry. She didn't know what Mond wanted to do. She did know that Mond always regarded her Jackson as his enemy. So why should she talk to Mond?

"Could you not speak to me with such an attitude? "Cherry, you wouldn't talk to me like that if you knew everything about Jackson!" Mond told her. He hadn't planned to tell her everything just yet. He was sure, however, that Cherry would definitely change her attitude towards him if he did.

She set her jaw firmly and took a deep breath. She decided she didn't want to waste more time than she needed to with Mond. "Mr. Mond, I don't care to know what you mean about 'everything'. I'm only here today to sign the contract. Since you are apparently my client now, please take a look at the contract. If there is no problem with the contract, you may sign."

Cherry informed him, offering him the contract.

Immediately, he took the contract and set it aside. "Cherry, won't you hear my words?" he told her, anger flashing in his eyes. "Do you think you can just do whatever you want since I don't want to hurt you?"

Disappointment rose in his heart. If he really wanted to take revenge on Jackson, he would have begun by harming Cherry. The problem was, he didn't want to hurt Cherry. Ever since she was trapped in the elevator and he helped her out without thinking, he was no longer willing to hurt her. Even though he hated Jackson so much, he couldn't bring himself to hurt her any more.

She sighed. "Mr. Mond, " she said calmly. "Does it matter to you that I do my own business?"

"What if I say 'Yes'? Each and every move of you and Jackson is related to me. Then what should you do now?" Mond asked.

She shook her head. She didn't know how to answer that. Instead, she ignored it. "Mond, I really don't know what happened between you and Jackson. If you still hate Jackson because of what happened in the residential compound, why won't you forget? Stephen has already moved on! If Jackson did something bad to you, I'll apologise for him now. Sorry! I'm really sorry! Isn't that enough for you?"

Her words burning in the air, she stood to leave.

Mond didn't move. "Sister-in-law, " he called her coldly, "it's really not as simply as you thought, haha!"
