Chapter 280 The Fish Got Hooked (Part Three)

Joe looked at his Mommy, and said,"No, I don't want Daddy to know that I've discovered that he sent

someone to follow me. Can you keep that secret for me? This is a secret between you and me.

Mommy, you must keep the secret between us, okay?"

Looking at her son's innocent eyes and hearing his pleading voice, Cherry agreed, although she still

had no idea about why Joe had asked that.

"Okay, I will keep the secret for you," said Cherry. She thought that it wasn't a big deal. Since Jackson

had sent someone to track their son covertly, perhaps he also didn't want Joe to know about it. If their

son pretended not to know, then nothing bad could happen.

"Thank you, Mommy!" happily said Joe. If his Daddy didn't know about it, then the two guards would be

okay, and he could see Jean frequently without any sort of problem. 'Perhaps things will finally soon

clear up!' he thought.

Cherry smiled at him without saying another word.

After she drove her son to the school gate, she drove straight to the company.

Inside the JS Group, the moment Cherry walked into the office, she received an internal call.

She politely answered the phone,"Hello!"

Selina's voice immediately sounded from the other side of the line,"Cherry, it's me!"

"Selina?" said Cherry in a surprised tone.

"Yes. Come to my office now, I have something to tell you," said Selina over the phone.

"Okay, I'll be there soon!" said Cherry, and after she hung up the phone, she walked out of her own

office and headed towards Selina's.

When she arrived at her office, Cherry found that Selina was already sitting there waiting for her.

"Selina, what's up?" asked Cherry while standing in front of her.

"I need you to handle some new arrangements," said Selina, and immediately after that handed her a

file folder.

"What arrangements?" asked Cherry, while she took the file from Selina's hands.

As she was browsing through it, she heard Selina say,"This is a client that we need to negotiate with

this afternoon. I am supposed to talk with him, but I have something important to do, so I need you to

talk with this client and sign contract with him if your talk is successful. Caroline has already prepared

the contract and she will give it to you later."

"Is this client newly developed?" asked Cherry.

"Yes, he's a new client. You must seize the opportunity," replied Selina.

"Okay, got it! I will take a look at the client's data in detail later," said Cherry, as she closed the file

folder and looked into Selina's eyes.

"I'm going in a minute and I may not come back to company today and neither tomorrow. Call me if

there's anything," said Selina.

Cherry was a little surprised, and wondered where Selina was headed to.She bluntly asked her,"Selina,

where are you going?"

Selina had expected that Cherry would ask that, and her anxious expression showed that she had

something important to do.

Selina looked at Cherry, and replied,"Some of my foreign friends came to the city, and I have to

accompany them around it. We will have a party tomorrow evening, but I will be back to the company

after that."

Cherry nodded and thought that it made sense that Selina should entertain her friends coming from

afar. It was very reasonable for her to do so because she had stayed abroad for so many years. As for

the company affairs, Cherry believed that she could handle it.

"Okay. You go ahead and have fun with your friends, I'll take good care of the company," said Cherry,

with a big smile on her face.

"Caroline will have some documents ready later, but you can sign them on my behalf if there's no

problem with them. Regarding the more important and serious affairs, call me!" said Selina. Every time

they talked about work she became very serious.

"I will. Just feel relieved that I can handle it," said Cherry.

"Okay," replied Selina. She trusted Cherry's ability, and felt assured to trust her with the company

affairs.

"I'm going back to work now," said Cherry.

Selina nodded, and after she saw Cherry leave her office, Selina felt a little sorry because she lied to

her. She wasn't going to meet her friends, she was going to talk about some business deals for the JS

Group's development, but she couldn't tell that to Cherry because Jackson had told her not to.

After she saw Cherry get in the elevator, Selina said in her heart, 'I'm sorry, Cherry, I have no other

choice.'

After she got back to her own office, Cherry browsed through the client data she got from Selina and

felt that she was ready to meet him in the afternoon.

Cherry arrived at the appointed place at the scheduled hour and saw that the client was already there

waiting for her. Cherry hastily greeted the client and used her professional working style to quickly start

talking about business.

After three hours passed, Cherry finally got the contract closed with a satisfied signature. After the

client left, Cherry couldn't help but take out the contract to check it again. A big smile appeared on her

face and she was very cheerful. She still had excellent negotiation skills, and she still had the skill to

catch the client's meaning easily, and to talk with the client friendly.

With satisfaction on her face, Cherry put the contract back into her handbag. The JS Group now had a

new fortune, and because it was made possible by her, she felt very proud that the client would bring

thick interests to the JS Group.

Cherry then happily walked out of the restaurant and then drove away.

She didn't notice for a moment that there was always a pair of eyes watching her all along. 'She

seemed nervous when she first got in, but according to the smile on her face after she got out she must

have succeeded.'

While Mond thought about this a smile appeared on his lips. He said to himself, 'The fish has gotten This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

hooked! Let's wait and see, Cherry Shen!'
