Ice and Fire novel Chapter 460

At the bar, the hygiene of each of the seating areas was being checked. Susan followed Jackson around as he inspected every single surface to ensure cleanliness. She recorded all the problems that Jackson found and relayed to her during their inspection.

"I want to get this over sooner. Is there any place we haven't checked?" asked Jackson.

"Only the VIP seating area is left. We have finished all these other rooms and compartments, " Susan answered diligently.

"Come on, let's go take a look, " said Jackson and he then walked straight to the VIP area. It was easily one of the best-decorated areas in the city. It was furnished with red leather and black cushions. It was also the hardest VIP area to get access to.

Susan scurried after Jackson, trying to keep up with his speed walking and long legs.

Cherry went straight to Jackson's office after she reached the bar. She opened the door but there was nobody inside. Meanwhile, she noticed that a waiter happened to walk past the door.

"Excuse me, do you know where Mr. Jackson is?" Cherry quickly inquired as she was anxious to meet Jackson at that very moment.

"Mr. Jackson was checking the hygiene of the VIP area a few minutes ago. If you go fast enough, you might catch him. I think he is still there, " replied the waiter.

Cherry said no more, and instead walked directly towards the VIP compartments. Jackson better be there, she did not have the patience to run around the whole building looking for him.

In the compartment, Jackson was carefully checking to see if there was any rubbish left in the corners.

Watching Jackson's robust figure, Susan gradually got lost in her thought. She knew that these VIP compartments would not be used during this time since guests could only come here at night. And now it was only her and Jackson in the room. It was the perfect opportunity for her to express her adoration to Jackson.

Susan slowly stepped close to Jackson and stood in front of him.

Jackson thought that Susan had something to tell him. "What's wrong?" he asked.

Susan suddenly flung her arms around Jackson's neck, snuggling herself into his body. She could feel every single muscle of his pressed up against her soft body. Staring at Jackson's appealing eyes, she uttered breathily, "Mr. Jackson, I really like you."

Jackson was stunned momentarily at Susan's words and froze. He had never expected her to say these words and he didn't know how to respond, for a second. Then, he regained control of his senses.

"I have a wife already, " replied Jackson coldly. Susan was just an ordinary staff member to him and he had no interest in her. He had a wonderful wife and no woman piqued his interest. The only reason he had not fired her so far was only because of Stephen. When he left the city, he had told Jackson that Susan was a veteran employee of the bar so he hoped that Jackson would take care of her. But seeing her throw herself at him made him sick.
