Jean's words resounded in Mond's ears. He was aware that the relationship between Jackson and Cherry was hard to destroy. Cherry's love for Jackson was everlasting. Although she had never confessed her feelings, he knew that deep down she loved him.
Turning to Jean, Mond asked, "Is it difficult to win her heart?"
When Jean saw the affection in Mond's eyes, she knew he'd fallen for Cherry already. Jean sighed, and gave him a vague response.
"At one time I believed I would be able to win John's heart if he and I made love. But I found out after the fact that I was very wrong. Even though I slept with him, he still loved Cherry, not me. Perhaps he had eyes for only Cherry from the day they met in the college, " Jean looked away as she was telling Mond her story, so he couldn't see the hurt in her eyes.

"Okay, I'll be here waiting for you, " agreed Mond quickly, 'I don't want to upset Cherry, as she has finally pulled herself together, and I'd do anything she asked, ' he told himself.

"Hello, Mr. Mond, " the voice greeted him through the phone.
"Do nothing. The plan's changed. Just wait for my instructions, " ordered Mond in an imposing tone.
"Why not? It'll only take a couple days for this to be published."
"Without my orders, you will not leak it. If you dare disobey my orders, you know the consequences, " threatened Mond before ending the call. He stared ahead blankly as he waited for Cherry to return.
