Ice and Fire novel Chapter 90

While they were having dinner, Wilson said to Cherry, "By the way, the assistant called about Joe's new school; he said he can start tomorrow."

Cherry believed that Joe had to start school right away after they moved back to the city.

Cherry nodded to Wilson, but on the other hand, Joe was a bit unhappy. He pouted his lips, and said, "But I don't want to go to school, I want to play for a few more days!"

Cherry comforted him, "Joe, Uncle Wilson and I have to deal with our own affairs, and you'll be bored sick if you stay at home all day alone, but if you go to school, you'll have lots of fun with your new schoolmates. Wouldn't that be great?"

Cherry's words intrigued Joe, and he cried, "You're right! I won't be lonely anymore if I have a lot of new friends!"

Cherry saw Joe's cheeky grin, and because of his naughty character, wondered if he would get along well with his future schoolmates.

After dinner, Cherry washed the dishes. She found that Wilson and Joe had kept playing video games for a long time after, and thought that Joe should go to sleep early because he had to go to school in the morning.

Cherry left the kitchen, and went to the parlor, and said to Joe, "Time to go to bed."

Joe didn't even look at Cherry, and with his eyes focused on the game, said, "Mommy, after I pass this level."

Cherry was unhappy with him, and shouted, "Joe!"

After he heard his mother's tone, Joe knew that she was angry. Although he didn't want to, he turned off the game, stood up, and said, "Uncle Wilson, let's play again next time. I have to go to bed now."

"Okay, I'll take you to school tomorrow morning. Good night!" replied Wilson.

Cherry was relieved when Joe went upstairs as she ordered him to, and thought that she would overcome every difficulty with him as long as he wasn't rebellious.

When he saw that Joe went upstairs, Wilson said, "Cherry, I want to have a talk with you."

Cherry nodded, and then sat beside Wilson on the sofa.

"Wilson, how's your new company? Is everything going well?" asked Cherry.

"It's almost done. It will be listed next week, " answered Wilson.

"Oh! That's good!"

Wilson then suddenly asked her, "Cherry, have you ever heard of the JS program?"

Cherry shook her head, and asked, "What's that?"

Wilson had received the news about the JS program earlier on that day, and he wanted to take it. He said, "It's a profitable program because it considerably influences the city's development. If we can take it, our company's future will be very promising."

Cherry thought that Wilson was right, and that the company might develop faster if he could seize the opportunity.

She encouraged Wilson, "Go for it then!"

Wilson nodded, and was quite confident that he would take the JS program because he had already been in the business circles for many years.

Wilson then thought of something else, and while he looked at Cherry, he asked, "How about you? What's your plan?"

Cherry immediately replied, "I've already sent my resume to a lot of companies. Tomorrow I have an interview at a big company called the JS Group."

Wilson knew that the JS Group was owned solely by its president, a woman who once had also worked overseas. He said, "I've heard that the JS Group is a promising company here in the city."

Cherry nodded, and replied, "Indeed, it will be great if I could work for the JS Group, because the salary is enough for a living, and Joe and I will move out, since mommy and Uncle Jacob will come back to live with you soon. Don't worry about us, I still have some money to cover the expenses."

After Wilson heard her, he was a bit unhappy, because what Cherry said meant that she would leave him.

"Cherry, I'm you elder brother, and you don't need to move out. I've bought the villa for you, and dad and auntie can live somewhere else. Don't worry, I can easily arrange for that."
