Chapter 50 - What Is Going On? (1/2)
”Boss, here this is the report of the mill. The condition of the mill is not good. The owner had not done the maintenance properly. That's why its production was reducing day by day. I think we can buy it. It only needs a few changes. But the place is very good. It has potentiality in the market.” Peter Carter explained.
”Ok. I will have a look at it. Now tell me what is going on here? Why did you not inform me about Miss Nina's joining the company? How can you be that irresponsible?”
”Boss, I am sorry that I could not update you in time. I think the Chairman had concealed the news until she joined the company. I only came to know about it after she joined the company. I had some network problem there, that's why I could not call you to discuss this matter with you. But I think you already know about it, as you two are practically living together. Did not Miss Nina tell you about it? Were not you two slept together? I already supplied you the most important thing yesterday.”Peter Carter asked with a mischievous tone. James Thomson glared at him.
”Peter, I am not in the mood for a joke. Tell me what is my Grandpa behind? What is he doing now?”
”Boss, what I have come to know is not good for Miss Nina. The Chairman is going to do something big I think.”Peter Carter said in a serious tone and handed James Thomson a file.
”What is this? Is not it a contract of the artists?..... What? It is a contract of Helen Porter with our company! How can it be possible?”
”Miss Helen Porter's contract with her previous management company was over last month. Your Grandpa has sent this contract to her yesterday and she signed it happily. She will be joining the Trudominion Private Limited tomorrow.”
”What the heck? Why is he doing this? He is pissing me off.”James Thomson said in an angry voice.
”I think he wants to reveal your fake relationship with Miss Nina Anderson. He wants to throw her away from your life. Lady boss also called me. She is also worried about her. She requested me to help Miss Nina. What will we do now? The Chairman is not going to let it go easily. Is he really going to do as he threatened? Is he really going to make Mr. Derrick, his successor?”Peter Carter asked in a worried tone. James Thomson sighed.
”Peter, do you really think that I am doing this to be his successor. Truly speaking, I am not worried at all about my position. He can choose anyone as he wishes. I would not have called off the marriage with Helen Porter if I would have the slightest greed for the position. Yes, it is also true that I did not want to be his puppet. But there was something else. I got married to Nina Anderson because I only wanted to be in some temporary relationship. But now now I am worried for her. She would have to go through a hard time for me. I have pulled her into the world of Greed and consperecies. I don't know how she would be able to fight with these.”James Thomson said in a worried tone.
”I ......I was selfish. I should have known that spending life with the Thomsons would not be easy.”He added.
”Boss, should we keep someone to be with her? At least he can protect her if someone tries to harm her.”Peter Carter suggested.
”No, Peter. We can not do it. Our relationship can not be revealed now. If we keep someone around her, everyone would suspect her. I think I should let her go.”
”What? After doing all these will you let her go? Have you thought, what would happen to you if she left you now? Your Grandpa would try to tie up you with Helen porter again...Or, are you ready to accept her?”Peter Carter asked confusedly.
”Peter, I tried to hold back my Grandpa. But I just can not make anyone else's life a hell for that. This is my fight. I have to fight alone. I gave Nina the documents about her past life you have got yesterday. I think she has already gone through it. I know she would like to go back to her life.”James Thomson said in a low voice.
”What? Did not you tell her that you will inform her about those papers a few days later? She will remember everything now. Sh....she has a boyfriend already. Do you think she will act as your wife now?”
”I know. That's why I gave her those. At first, I thought that I will keep all these secrets from her at least for a few days.But now I can not let her risk her life, for me.You prepare the divorce papers.”
”A....are you sure?”
”Yes. You just do it. I can not pull this longer.”James Thomson replied and looked at the sky through the window.
”B....boss, can I ask you a question?”
