Cherry couldn't believe her ears. She looked at Elsa surprised, and asked, "I heard that everything was going well. How on earth is he in trouble all of a sudden?"
She had some knowledge about the business world, and she knew that financial troubles always cast their shadows on a company first before falling on it. There had to be signs to indicate that Wilson's company would get into trouble, but she had been aware of none.
"I don't know; Jacob knew nothing about it until this morning when he received a call. Your brother is at the company now, and your uncle just left earlier, " said Elsa nervously. Although Wilson wasn't her biological son, she regarded him as such because he hadn't rejected her when she had married his father. He had treated her very well, and now it seemed that he was in trouble. How could she possibly feel at ease when something like this was happening to him?
Cherry immediately comforted Elsa, "Mother, don't be so worried about it. I'll also go to my brother's company to have a look on things, and again, please, relax, uncle has many friends that might be able to help us. It'll be okay, you'll see!"
Cherry then said to Joe, who was standing behind her, "Go and eat your breakfast quick, and after that I'll take you to school."
"Okay, " said Joe, and then strode to the dining room in a hurry.
After she took Joe to school, Cherry went straight to Wilson's company. She informed Caroline that she will be arriving later at the office, and asked her if she could help her deal with some of her assignments first. Afterwards, she also called Selina, and her generous boss said that Cherry didn't even have to come to work if she had something urgent to deal with.
After she arrived at Wilson's office, Cherry saw him sitting in front of his desk looking morose. She also saw Jacob on the sof
“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”
Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.
Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.
“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.
ything is going to be okay."
After that, Cherry pulled herself from Wilson's grasp, turned around, and left.
After she left Wilson's company building and got into her car, Cherry called Jackson.
"Hello, " said Jackson calmly.
"Where are you?" quickly asked Cherry.
Jackson was already expecting Cherry's call. He said, "You called me faster than I thought."
Cherry knew what Jackson meant with his reply. She said, "Tell me, where are you? I'm coming to see you; isn't this what you want?"
"I want even more than this, " said Jackson patronizingly. He continued, "Come to the villa in the suburbs. You know where, because you've already been there."
What Jackson said softened Cherry. She thought, 'Is it the one that Jackson wanted to give me as a present?'
Cherry then drove to the villa, and after she arrived and entered it, she saw Jackson sitting on the sofa in the living room. She then looked around the place and saw that it had been redecorated according to her tastes. She would have been very happy if she hadn't come to deal with Jackson.
She walked towards Jackson and stopped at just a short distance away from him. After she fixed her gaze on him, Cherry asked, "Why did you do that?"
