Ice and Fire novel Chapter 97

On the other side of the line, anger was slowly rising inside Sally's heart. 'Where are you, Jackson?' she thought anxiously. 'Why aren't you answering my calls?'

Cherry pulled over to the entrance of the hotel, as it was written on her sticky note. She checked the address and saw that it was correct, and after that she got out of the car and went straight to the hotel.

Cherry went to the reception and showed her identity. The hotel staff looked into the customers' messages and told her that there was a Mr. Xie who had asked the representatives of the JS Group to go upstairs and meet with him in his hotel room.

"You can go to Room 5022, " said the hotel staff respectfully.

"Thank you!" She then turned around and left the reception area.

At the VIP zone, Cherry looked around and searched for Room 5022. She was nervous, and her hands were shaking, and she was fearful that if she said something inappropriate or wrong, her client might refuse to sign the order form. 'What does my client look like?' she wondered. She couldn't lose such an expensive order for anything.

Cherry ran into a bellboy who was cleaning the hotel's corridor, and she hastily apologized for her carelessness.

The bellboy smiled at her, and said, "Never mind, lady."

After he left, Cherry continued her search for the room. Her mind went blank, and she had already forgotten the exact number of her client's hotel room.

As she stood between Room 5021 and Room 5022, Cherry had no idea on which door she should knock. She looked at the two identical doors, and regretted that she hadn't written down the room number on her sticky note.

Cherry finally decided to knock on door 5021.

When she was just about to stretch out her hand and knock on the door, it suddenly opened from the inside.

Cherry was prepared to ask if the man or woman that opened the door was her client.

"Excuse me, " she said, but after she opened her mouth, she quickly stopped her question halfway. When she saw the familiar face in front of her, she was struck dumb right there on the spot.

Jackson, was just about to leave the hotel when he opened the door and saw the familiar face that he had been dreaming about every night for the past five years. He stood in the doorway, dressed in his clean uniform, petrified. He had never thought that Cherry, his ex-wife and the woman that he loved so much, would suddenly appear at this hotel. Did God actually feel sorry for his pain and sorrows, and have pity on him?
