Cherry didn't want to make the atmosphere depressing. She pretended to be cheerful, and said to her son, "Joe, from now on I will work hard, and you are supposed to study hard. Let's cheer up! Okay?"
"Of course, " said Joe. He knew that Cherry wanted to change the topic of their conversation, and continued, "Mommy, you must be careful not to be stolen by those wolves in your company. You should always be on my side!"
"How could it otherwise be? I'll stay with you all of my life, so that you can take good care of me and feed me when you earn a lot of money in the future, " said Cherry, wearing a smile on her face, happy that she had such an intelligent boy.
Joe nodded, and said, "Well, I will definitely make you lead a happy life."
Then, Joe suddenly came up with another sentence before Cherry could reply to him. He said, "But mommy, why have your breasts gotten smaller?"
"What? I don't know..." How could Joe have possibly known that her breasts had gotten smaller before she did? Cherry was curious.
With his hands on Cherry's breasts, Joe said, "Look, they're so small now."
"Joe, stop it!" furiously said Cherry. It seemed that Joe took advantage of her every time he had the chance.
"Mommy, we sleep together every day. This is nothing to that. I just want to check how much smaller they have gotten, " said Joe mischievously. It appeared that his mommy was still pretty shy.
"Joe, don't put your hand inside! You can only touch the clothes!" furiously shouted Cherry. Her naughty boy always did this kind of things.
"Alright, mommy, but it feels good, " cunningly said Joe.
In the morning, Cherry went to work after she ate a quick breakfast.
When she arrived at the JS Group, one of the managers of the business department arranged a seat for her and told her some matters that she should pay attention to. He then asked an older staff member to guide Cherry to her work.
Soon after Cherry sat on her seat, she was called to the chief executive's office room by the receptionist.
Cherry then took the elevator to the administrative sector on the top floor.
Just as she came out of the elevator, Cherry saw four secretaries sitting nearby, busy getting their work done.
One of the secretaries saw Cherry and stared at her. Cherry immediately walked to her, and said with respect, "Hello, I'm Cherry Shen, the new employee, and the receptionist just told me to meet our chief executive here."
"Please wait, " said the secretary politely.
Cherry replied in the same polite manner, "Okay, thank you."
After she notified Selina, the secretary walked out again, and told Cherry, "Come in, please."
"Okay." Cherry nodded, and then entered the chief executive's office.
As she stood in front of the desk and looked at the person before her, Cherry felt that she might have met her before in some place, but she just couldn't remember what that place was. Maybe it was just her imagination, and she hadn't met her at all.
Cherry politely introduced herself, "Hello, I'm the new employee, and my name is Cherry Shen."
"Cherry Shen?" Selina called Cherry's name, and carefully looked at her.
The was something special about the woman in front of her, but she couldn't figure out what it was. Cherry gave her a feeling of simplicity, but she was well aware that there must be some secrets inside hidden deep inside of her. Seen from the surface, she looked perfect, she was beautiful, slender, and also well mannered. There was absolutely no blemish whatsoever on her.
