Ice and Fire

Early in the morning, Cherry drove her son to school, and didn't leave for work until she saw him walking into the building.

She then arrived at the JS Group, and as soon as she walked into her office, the internal phone rang.

Cherry politely answered it, "Hello."

"Cherry, it's me, " said Selina from the other side of the line.

"Selina?" asked Cherry surprised. She hadn't expected to receive a call from her in the very first moments of the day.

"Yes, it's me. I didn't think you arrived yet, " said Selina smiling.

"I've arrived just a few moments ago. What happened? Is there something that you need to tell me?" curiously asked Cherry.

"Yes, come to my office, please, I do want to talk to you about something."

"Okay, I'm coming right now, " replied Cherry.

And after she hung up, she walked straight to Selina's office.

In the office, Selina and Cherry discussed something about business on the sofa.

"Cherry, there will be an important party next week, and maybe you'll have to attend it with me, " said Selina as she looked at Cherry.

"I'm going with you?" Cherry was a little surprised. Why her? If the party was all about businessmen making contacts with each other for their own benefit, she didn't like it, because she had never enjoyed that kind of atmosphere ever. She had always avoided such occasions whenever it was possible.

"Yes, " said Selina as she nodded to her. She then continued, "I think that Jackson and my brother will also be at the party, because there will also be a lot of businessmen, politicians and military officials there. To put it more bluntly, it will be a party of the upper class of the city."
