Ice and Fire novel Chapter 115

Selina drove the car, and said, "Cherry, were you afraid to see Andrew there?"

Cherry knew that Selina would ask, and she admitted, "I'm not ready to face Andrew yet."

Selina instantly became serious, because she cared about anything that regarded Cherry and Jackson.

"Cherry, sometimes you just have to face anything that comes in your way. Escaping it will not make it better, and it never does, " said Selina. She didn't know how to convince Cherry to get back together with Jackson, but she wanted to tell Cherry that it was necessary for her to face the relationship seriously.

Cherry looked outside the window and remained quiet. Fear and panic had started to cloud her thoughts, but Selina was right, she had to face reality anyway. She really needed to reorganize her relationship with Jackson, Andrew, and her son.

When she saw that Cherry was in deep thought, Selina stopped talking.

She pulled up to Cherry's house, and waited for her to go home and change her dress. When Cherry returned dressed in the splendid evening dress, she looked gorgeous, and when Selina saw her, her mood lifted considerably.

It took a while until they went to Selina's home to change into her dress, and it was almost time for the party.

The party took place in a sumptuous park in the suburb, and all the upper class citizens in the city had been invited.

When they arrived and got out of the car, a middle-aged man walked over to them.

"Miss Selina, Miss Cherry, welcome!" said the man.

Selina politely smiled at him and gave him the car keys. She then turned back to Cherry, and said, "Let's go in now!"

Cherry nodded and walked alongside her. She asked curiously, "How did that man know that I'm Cherry Shen?"

"I've already called and informed the manager here this morning that you'll represent the JS group at the party. If he did not know your name, he would have probably got fired, " said Selina proudly.

"Oh, really?" Cherry didn't expect that Selina could have the man fired, since it was not the JS Group that held the party.

"Of course, " said Selina in a disdainful way. She continued, "The JS has a lot of influence here in the city, so I, as it's chairman, can also do many things."

Cherry then realized that having power meant having everything in the city.

Many people had already arrived at the party when Cherry and Selina had first showed up.

Cherry slowly walked forward arm in arm with Selina, and many people started to stare at them.

Almost anyone who noticed their appearance locked their eyes with Cherry and Selina.

There were men, women, and even servers.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Cherry discreetly nudged Selina and asked, "Why are they looking at us like that? Isn't it awkward?"

Selina chuckled and answered, "Don't be embarrassed. You look gorgeous, and everyone knows that."

"But there're so many of them. I'm a little nervous, " said Cherry. She had never been to an event where she was the center of attention.

Selina patted Cherry's hand and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, look, I'm here with you, aren't I?"

Cherry then gently nodded and continued to walk.

Suddenly, they noticed two men dressed in suits approaching them.

"Miss Selina, welcome! I've been waiting for you, " said one of the men, a fat, middle-aged gentleman.

"Mr. Wang, how could I not show up on such a special day? I'm just a little late, and I apologize about that, " said Selina, wearing a decent smile.

After he finished his talk with Selina, the man turned to look at Cherry, and soon realized that he couldn't move his eyes off her.

The other man had been gazing at her ever since they had started the conversation.

"Miss Selina, who is the lady? I don't remember if I've met her at last year's party." Asked the fat man.

Selina smiled and introduced her to him. "This is my secretary, Cherry Shen, " she said. "She has just returned from abroad."

The fat man sized Cherry up and down with a creepy stare in his eyes, and replied, "Miss Cherry, it's so nice to meet you!"

He then reached out his hand and wanted to shake hands with Cherry.

Cherry replied to his gesture, and she knew that she had to be very careful when dealing with so many proprietors and investors.

However, her hand was quickly blocked by Selina's.

Selina looked at the fat man, and said, "Mr. Wang, what a dishonor on you to shake hands with my secretary! I didn't expect it coming from such a distinguished man like you!"

The man had no choice but to reluctantly withdraw his hand.

At that moment, even more men came over to greet Selina, also aiming to get acquainted with Cherry.

Cherry just stood beside Selina and kept smiling, while she let Selina handle her admirers.

Wilson also appeared at the party and was greeting his friends.

When he was just about to start to look for Cherry, Stephen came over to him.

"Hello, Wilson, " greeted Stephen.

"Hello, Stephen!"

They shook hands and smiled to each other.

"When did you arrive here?" asked Stephen.

"Just now. How about you?"

"Me too, " said Stephen. He then looked around, and said, "There are a lot of people here today."

"Yes, and Cherry is here, too, " said Wilson casually.

Stephen was surprised, and asked, "Is she? Did she come with you?"

Wilson shook his head, and said, "No, Selina brought her here. Because she works as her secretary, Cherry is representing the JS Group."

Stephen was taken aback by all the information. Cherry had become Selina's secretary, and was at the party too? He could not believe it.

Wilson paid no attention to Stephen's reaction, and instead glanced around, and said, "Stephen, let's go and look for Cherry."

Stephen pulled himself together immediately, and even gave Wilson a smile. "Okay, " he agreed.

They then started to search for Cherry.

While Selina and Cherry were still in the same spot and surrounded by many men, A voice suddenly called out, "Is she the second daughter of the Shen clan?"

All men then turned around to see who the speaker was.
