Ice and Fire novel Chapter 49

Emily had arrived at the international hotel. She sat by the window in a corner and waited for Cherry.

The moment Cherry entered the hotel lobby, Emily saw her. She waved her arms and shouted, "Cherry, I'm here!"

Cherry saw Emily, went over to her and sat down.

"Why are you so late? We agreed to met in twenty minutes, " Emily complained.

"I got here as quickly as I could, " said Cherry. Then she picked up a glass of cold water and sipped from it.

"Next time you should come sooner, " said Emily. Then she gave Cherry the menu and said, "Well, you shall order the dishes. It's my treat today!"

"Really? Your treat?" Cherry was flattered.

"Have I ever gone back on my word?" said Emily, seriously. Cherry did not know how to react to this.

Cherry hastily shook her head, picked up the menu and began to order the dishes.

The two chatted while eating. Cherry gradually felt better. She was always in a good mood when she was with Emily.

After a while, they were 80 percent full. Emily looked at the leftovers on the table and said, "Cherry, we really have good appetites, don't we? We've eaten more than half of the food."

"Of course. Just think of whom you are having lunch with!" said Cherry, happily.

Emily wanted to go to the bathroom, so she said to Cherry, "Excuse me. I want to go to the bathroom. Just sit here and wait for me."

Cherry nodded and didn't think too much.

After Emily had gone, Cherry casually looked around and a familiar figure caught her attention.

Cherry was surprised and thought that perhaps it was Sally He. Cherry couldn't see her face clearly, but she did resemble Sally He from the back and side features.

Cherry kept staring at the side face of Sally He and did not notice that Emily had come back and sat down.

Emily found that Cherry hadn't noticed her and was staring into the distance. So she looked in that direction and found there was only a woman in beige dress and a man in suit.

Emily was confused. She thought to herself, 'Is this scene worth seeing? They are not playing out a love scene!'

"Cherry, what are you looking at? Why are you so serious?" Emily asked, straightforwardly.

"It's her. It must be her. I'm sure of it, " said Cherry, firmly, completely ignoring Emily's question.

"What?" asked Emily, persistently.
