Chapter 88 - I Was Wrong (1/2)

Inside the CEO office of the Trudominion Private Limited, James Thomson was sitting on his chair without uttering a single word. He was staring at the photographs of Mr. Harry Jian and Lucy Lin spending the night together in a hotel. Peter Carter stared at his boss worriedly and got up to leave.

”Peter, how old are  these photographs?”James Thomson asked thoughtfully. Peter Carter stopped to hear his boss.

”Boss, according to the person who sent me these photographs, these are taken last week. Actually, I stopped investigating them, as you asked me to do so. But the person who got these photographs from one of his paparazzi friends sent these to me. I think they are planning together to blackmail Mr. Harry Jian with those. They just wanted to earn some extra money, that's why they sent these to me.

When I got these photographs, I ordered him to go deeper into this matter. He informed me that Mr. Harry Jian and Miss Lucy Lin were together for a long time already. I don't know why they are trying to hide this. But Mr. Harry Jian was cleary two- timing.”Peter carter said and looked at his boss worriedly. He can clearly see the anger in his boss's eyes.

”B....boss, please don't get angry. I.....I think you should see these, that's why I showed these to you.I.....I am sorry for not following your order.”Peter Carter said carefully.

”Well done.”James Thomson said in a calm tone.

”W...what?A.....are you not angry at me?I...I thought you will get angry not to stop investigating them.”

”I was wrong. I should not stop you. What about Nina? Do you have any information about her?”James Thomson asked worriedly.

”I think she is not aware of these . Otherwise, she would have created some commotion. I am just worried for her. What would happen to her, if she comes to know about the betrayal? What I learned about her, she always kept her friendship in front of anything else. She would be heartbroken.”Peter Carter said thoughtfully. James Thomson lost in thought.

”Boss, now what to do?”

”That bastard! How can he cheat on her? Send more people there. We must investigate them more now. I think there is some link between her kidnapping and this Harry Jian and Lucy Lin. We must know everything clearly.

”B... but is not her kidnapping related to the human trafficking gang?”

”No, Peter. I think that kidnapping is only a cover. I think there must be something else under the cover.”

”Ok. I will send more people there immediately. B.....boss, there is something else I want to report to you.”

”What is it?”

”Mrs. Thomson is in city R now.”Peter Carter said in a low voice. James Thomson shocked to hear his assistant.

”What? Mom is in city R? But why? What is she doing there?”

”S... she is waiting outside of Miss Nina Anderson's apartment now.”

”Why did she go there alone? She even did not inform us.”James Thomson said in a worried tone.

”She must be there to see Miss Nina.”

”Ok. I will go back home now. Prepare documents for the branch of city R.We will go there next week.”James Thomson said and left the CEO's cabin.

”I knew it, boss. I knew you would not be able to keep yourself away from her, after hearing this. I have to get ready now. I have to play a crucial role in your relationship.”Peter Carter mumbled and left the office.

James Thomson reached the Thomson Manor and waited for his mother there. But she did not return the whole night. James Thomson got up early the next morning and got ready to go for jogging. As he reached near the entrance of the Thomson Manor, he saw a car entering the campus. Mrs. Thomson got off the car and entered the house lazily. James Thomson followed her hurriedly.

”Mom, why are you coming back now? I have waited for you here the whole night.”Mrs. Thomson stunned to hear her son's voice. It was the first time in fifteen years that James Thomson let her feel that he was worried for her.

”James,you ...you were waiting for me?”She asked him happily.

”Yes. I heard you were in city R.I was worried for you. Are you fine?”James Thomson said in a worried tone.

”Yes, my son. I am fine. I....I have to talk to you. Please wait for me in the garden. I will go there after freshen up.”
