Chapter 460

At the bar, the hygiene of each of the seating areas was being checked. Susan followed Jackson around as he inspected every single surface to ensure cleanliness. She recorded all the problems that Jackson found and relayed to her during their inspection.

"I want to get this over sooner. Is there any place we haven't checked?" asked Jackson.

"Only the VIP seating area is left. We have finished all these other rooms and compartments, " Susan answered diligently.

"Come on, let's go take a look, " said Jackson and he then walked straight to the VIP area. It was easily one of the best-decorated areas in the city. It was furnished with red leather and black cushions. It was also the hardest VIP area to get access to.

Susan scurried after Jackson, trying to keep up with his speed walking and long legs.

Cherry went straight to Jackson's office after she reached the bar. She opened the door but there was nobody inside. Meanwhile, she noticed that a waiter happened to walk past the door.

"Excuse me, do you know where Mr. Jackson is?" Cherry quickly inquired as she was anxious to meet Jackson at that very moment.

"Mr. Jackson was checking the hygiene of the VIP area a few minutes ago. If you go fast enough, you might catch him. I think he is still there, "

replied the waiter.

Cherry said no more, and instead walked directly towards the VIP compartments. Jackson better be there, she did not have the patience to run around the whole building looking for him.

In the compartment, Jackson was carefully checking to see if there was any rubbish left in the corners.

Watching Jackson's robust figure, Susan gradually got lost in her thought. She knew that these VIP compartments would not be used during this time since guests could only come here at night. And now it was only her and Jackson in the room. It was the perfect opportunity for her to express her adoration to Jackson.

Susan slowly stepped close to Jackson and stood in front of him.

Jackson thought that Susan had something to tell him. "What's wrong?" he asked.

Susan suddenly flung her arms around Jackson's neck, snuggling herself into his body. She could feel every single muscle of his pressed up against her soft body. Staring at Jackson's appealing eyes, she uttered breathily, "Mr. Jackson, I really like you."

Jackson was stunned momentarily at Susan's words and froze. He had never expected her to say these words and he didn't know how to respond, for a second. Then, he regained control of his senses.

"I have a wife already, " replied Jackson coldly. Susan was just an ordinary staff member to him and he had no interest in her. He had a wonderful wife and no woman piqued his interest. The only reason he had not fired her so far was only because of Stephen. When he left the city, he had told Jackson that Susan was a veteran employee of the bar so he hoped that Jackson would take care of her. But seeing her throw herself at him made him sick.

"I know, but I don't care. I want to be with you, " said Susan intimately. Looking at Jackson's exquisite and charming face, Susan even hoped that she could give herself to him as a present as long as Jackson would accept her.

"Let go of me! Get out of here!" shouted Jackson coldly with fury in his voice. He did not want to get close to any other woman except Cherry. For her, he was willing to stick to his principles all his life. Jackson had seriously suffered from the mistake he made five years ago for being not able to give up Sally. Now that he had managed to get Cherry back and had a happy life with her, he would never do anything else to destroy the beautiful dream.

"No!" responded Susan firmly, showing no intention of leaving. She earnestly gazed at Jackson and said, "I have been in love with you for a long time.

But why do you always refuse to give me a chance, give me a chance to approach you? If you got to know me, you would realize that I am entirely loveable. Please just give me a chance to prove it to you. There is no other way for me to say the words resounding inside my heart. Jackson, I really really like you."

"How many times do I have to repeat myself? I am not interested in you, " he enunciated clearly. It was obvious that Jackson was infuriated. For Susan to throw herself at him was acceptable, but not letting him go and forcing him to listen to her blabber was not. She needed to take stock of the situation and let go of her hopes and dreams, whatever they had been.

However, Cherry had already seen them at that very moment. The sight made her stop in her tracks and made her blood run cold. 'What's this? What is Jackson doing now? What's Susan doing to him? Why are they being so intimate?' wondered Cherry.

Cherry suddenly recalled the time she saw John and Jean making love on the bed. And now, she saw an enchanting woman holding a man by the neck. And that man was no other than her husband! It looked like she was finally witnessing Jackson's playboy nature in action.

"What are you doing?" Cherry finally yielded to her impulse to stop them.

Jackson was surprised all of a sudden when he heard Cherry's voice. As he turned his head, he found that Cherry was staring at him, questioningly.

Susan quickly removed her hands from Jackson's neck as soon as she caught sight of Cherry's face, and then stared at her and had no idea what to do next.

"Baby, " Jackson hurriedly walked to Cherry and tried to placate her.

But when Cherry saw Jackson getting close to her, she immediately turned around and ran away.

Realizing that Cherry was trying to escape him, Jackson quickened his pace and dashed after her.

It didn't take Jackson very long to catch up with Cherry. He then seized Cherry's arm and drew her forcibly into his arms.

"Release me! Let go!" cried Cherry excitedly, telling herself in her heart that she should not believe what she had just seen, 'It's not true! It's not!'

"Listen to me, what you saw wasn't the truth. You need to understand the context of the situation, " explained Jackson. He knew that Cherry was experiencing a wide range of emotions, anger being the strongest, but he could not let go of her. She was the one he cared most about in the world.

How could he let her misunderstand his actions?

"No, no, I don't want to listen to you!" Cherry covered her ears with her hands, unwilling to listen to his explanation. At that moment when she stood in front of the man she loved most, Cherry believed that what she had seen was much more convincing than any explanation he could ever give.

Though Jackson was her husband and she should trust him, she just couldn't do that as the scene kept replaying in her mind.
