EPISODE 37
When James Thomson finished his work, it was already afternoon. He stretched out his body and closed his eyes for a moment.
“I should call her now.” He mumbled and dialed Nina Anderson’s number.
“Hello.”He heard Nina Anderson’s voice from the other side of the phone.
“Hello Nina, are you fine?” He asked worriedly.
“Yes. I am fine. What about you? Aren’t you busy? Why did you call me?” Nina Anderson asked.
“Of course I am busy.I am sorry that I could not call you earlier.” James Thomson said guiltily.
“I know. That’s why I did not call you either. How is Grandpa? Have you met him or not?”
“I could not meet him yet. I heard he is fine now. I will go to the hospital now.”
“Ok. That’s good then. I am hanging up now. I am getting ready to go somewhere. I will call you back as soon as I return.”Nina Anderson said and hang up the call. Mr. James Thomson stared at the mobile thoughtfully.
“How can she hung up like this!…..She might be really busy. I should leave for the hospital now.” He mumbled and left his office.
He reached the hospital where his Grandfather was got admitted.
“Grandpa, how are you now?”James Thomson asked his Grandfather as soon as he entered the room.
“Oh! Mr. James Thomson! So you got time to see this old man! I am really lucky today.” The old man said in a mocking tone.
“I am sorry, Grandpa. I could not come earlier, as I was very busy with some works. Are you fine now?”
“James, you might be feeling bad to see me alive. Isn’t it?” The old man asked in the same mocking tone.
“What do you mean by that Grandpa? Why would I be feeling bad to see you alive? Please don’t get angry. What I told you earlier is not a lie. I was really busy these two days. I know that it is my mistake, that I could not come here earlier.”
“I don’t care if you come here or not. What I really care about is the company. How can you push it to the danger? I thought you are dedicated to the work. But you were in the City R flirting with that woman! You are Great! I asked you to leave that woman. But no, why would you do that? You are here to go against me. Isn’t it?”
“Granpa, please calm down.I don’t want to argue. You are sick now.”James Thomson said in a calm voice. He knew that he can not make his Grandpa angry.
“Oh, so you still have some conscience? But I think you should think about yourself now. I know that you are in a hard spot right now. I heard that the members of the board of directors are going to replace you. What is your opinion regarding this?”
“Grandpa, you don’t need to worry about it. I will solve my own problem.” James Thomson replied in a determined tone.
“James, are you still being stubborn? Have you thought properly about it? This matter is not that easy. How will you solve this problem? Listen, James, I founded the company with the hope that one day my Grandchildren would take the highest position in the company. But look at you . You even degrading the condition of the company day by day. James, think about everything carefully.
That woman can not do anything good for you. The only woman who can save you from this crisis is Helen Porter. I will call Mr. Porter and ask him to vote for you. He is the only person who can convince others to vote for you.” Mr. Gerard Thomson said in a thoughtful tone.
James Thomson stared at his sick grandfather thoughtfully and sighed.
“Grandpa, today I am here to see you. As you are sick,I don’t want to argue with you. But one thing I want to tell you clearly is that I can not be with Miss Helen Porter. You need not worry too much about me. I am capable enough to solve my own problem. Now I am leaving. Please take care.” James Thomson said and was about to leave, but stopped to hear his Grandfather’s words.
“If you failed this time, I will send Derrick to replace you. I think he is a better candidate than you. He is capable enough to be my heir.” The old man said in a serious tone.
“Ok Grandpa. You should try.” James Thomson said in a calm tone and left the room. He stopped to see his father waiting for him outside.
“Dad.”He bowed and said.
“Follow me.”Mr. Harris Thosmson said and signaled his son to follow him. They reached a cafe and Mr. Harris ordered some snacks and coffee.
“Are you fine?”Mr. Harris Thomson asked worriedly.
“Yes. I am fine. Thank you for the lunch. I ate well, as I have not had any food for a long time.” James said with a smile.
“It was your mom, who send the food. She was worried for you. She knew that you would forget to eat while working. Ok, leave it. How is the situation in the company?”
“I am still working on it.”
“What did your Grandpa said?”
“What else he can say? As usual, nagging me to marry Miss Helen.”
“He is really stubborn. Has he mentioned anything about Derrick?”
“Yes, I think he is trying to bring him back here.”James Thomson said in a calm tone.
“How can you act so indifferent? Do you know what Derrick is doing? He was trying to convince your Grandpa that it was actually you who attacked him.” Mr. Harris Thomson said in a low voice.
“What!”James Thomson was stunned to hear his father.
“Yes.I heard him saying some rubbish to your Grandpa. You know how your Grandpa is. He always trusts only him. I heard him ask Mr. Thomas to prepare papers for Derrick Addison. He would represent the Chairman in the meeting tomorrow.”
“Then let him be.”James Thomson said and got up angrily.
“James, please calm down. Sit here and let us discuss the situation. You can not let the position go that easily.”
“What is there to discuss? As Grandpa has already considered me as a criminal, I have no right to fight for the position.I want to quit.” James was now calmer.
“You can not. It is what exactly Derrick wants.I think the incidents that happened yesterday were Derrick’s doing. He planned everything to make your Grandpa throw you out from the company. But I can not let that happen. You are the legal heir of the company. So you must be in the position.” Mr. Harris Thomson said in a serious tone.
“But I don’t want to fight with my own Grandfather for it.”
“No, James, you can not leave like that. You must fight for it. At least it is the only way to prove yourself clean. I am still trying to collect the shreds of evidence. I think we will get something soon. So until then, you should not act rashly. You must find a way to stay back in the position. I know that you are eligible for that. You can do it, my son.”
“Okay, Dad.I will do my best. You need not worry.” James Thomson said and left the cafe.
“My poor son! He would have to fight for what he really deserves.” Mr. Harris Thomson mumbled and dialed Mrs. Catherine Thomson’s number.
“Hello.”He heard Mrs. Catherine Thomson’s voice from the other side.
“Hello, Cathrine. Can you do me a favor?”Mr. Harris Thomson asked with hesitation.
“What is it? Why have you seemed worried? Are you fine? How is father right now? Is he sick again?”Mrs. Catherine Thomson asked in a worried tone.
“No, he is fine. But there is something,I want you to do.”
“Yes. Tell me. What is it?”
“Call Liam and ask him to come here and meet me as soon as possible.”
“What! Liam! Hubby, have you forgotten that you promised not to call him again here for any purpose?”
“I know. That’s why I am asking you to call him. He would not deny it if you call him. His presence here is very important now. James is in trouble. He can help his brother.”
“Okay. I understand. I will call him right away. You don’t worry” Mrs. Catherine Thomson said thoughtfully and hung up the call.

In city R, Nina Andeson almost jumped when she heard the doorbell of the apartment rang.
“I think he is here already.” She mumbled.
“Nina, you can do it! You must do it. You have no other way except it. You can’t be frightened.” She tried to calm down herself. She took slow steps and reached near the door. She opened the door with shaky hands. As expected it was Mr. Derrick Addison’s assistant.
“Hello, Miss Nina. Boss is waiting for you downstairs. Let’s go now.” The man said in a serious tone. Nina Anderson nodded her head and followed the man without uttering a word.
“Miss, please get in. Boss is in the car.”The man uttered.
She silently got in the car and looked at the man sitting silently there. As the driver started the engine, Nina Anderson closed her eyes to calm down, as she could felt her heart start beating really fast.
“Are you scared?”Mr. Derrick Addison asked in a mocking tone.
“No.I am not scared.I am just thinking about you .”Nina Anderson replied as she tried to control her beating heart.
“Oh is it? So what are you thinking about me?”Mr. Derrick Addison asked curiously.
“I am just wondering if you can do any harm to Mr. Thomson, by using me. As I know Mr. Thomson, is it that easy to beat him? Do you really think that you would be able to lose him, by using me?” Nina Anderson asked in a curious tone. Mr. Derrick Addison smiled wickedly to hear her words.
“Miss Nina Anderson. You are now under my control. Are you still dare to praise your boyfriend? Do you think that I will let you go that easily if you are going to spout all those nonsense about him?” Mr. Derrick Addison asked in an angry tone.
“Mr. Derrick Addison, you have done a mistake here. Mr. Thomson is not my boyfriend. And I am not spouting nonsense. I just want you to warn you that you should not cross your limit. It might be fatal to you.” Nina Anderson said in a serious tone.
“Miss Nina, do you really think me inferior to your hero Mr. James Thomson?”
“It is the reality after all. What is there to think about? Even if you are using all the unethical ways to harm him, do you really think that you would be able to prove yourself better than him?”
“Of course I do. I can throw him away from the company as well as the Thomson family. I was just waiting for a chance all these years. Everyone in the Thomson family knows that I am better than James bro, but no one dares to tell it. Do you know the real reason behind it? It is because I am a bastard in their eyes. But is it my fault that my ….my father did not marry my mother?
I can never forget the pains the Thomson family gave to me. After my mother died my Grandfather brought me to the family. But my father never accepted me as his son. He even left the house forever. Just think, a little boy like me who just lost his mother, how can he accept a new family as his own, when his father denied him.” Mr. Derrick Addison said and lost in his thought.
“But Mr. Addison, what I heard was that, except your father, everyone else accepted you. Even they sent you to the same school as their own children. I heard that Mrs. Thomson accepted you as her own son.” Nina Anderson said in a calm tone.
“So what? I am not her son. How can I accept her as my mother? And…and Grandpa, he always used to compare me with that James Thomson. He should know that I am better than him.”
“Is that the reason, that you always tried to prove James Thomson bad in front of your grandfather?”
“Yes.I tried to change my Grandpa’s view towards James Bro. And…..and I was successful in doing so. I know that now although my Grandfather has given James Bro everything he needed. But soon everything will be mine.” Mr. Derrick Addison said thoughtfully.
“What do you mean? Don’t say that you are behind the incidents happening in the city T right now.” Nina Anderson asked in a surprised tone.
“Of course I am behind all these. Who else has the courage to stab that old man other than me?” Mr. Derrick Addison said with a murderous smile.
“Wh……what?Y……you stabbed your own Grandfather? H……how can you do this? Is not he, your own Grandfather?”
“I believe in the proverb ‘no pain no gain’. As he is my own Grandfather, is not it, his duty to help me to get everything I deserve? How dare he throw me out from the head branch of Trudominion Private Limited and sent me to that small city? Now he is going to give me back everything which I really deserve. I am going to get the position for which I had to am waiting for a long time.”He said with a laugh.
“What?So you are going to be the CEO of the head branch? Is ….is that means that you are going to replace Mr. Thomson tomorrow?”
“Ha ha ha. Yes. Are you scared now?I have installed a bug in the system of the company head brnch. No one can remove it except me. I will remove it after I got the position.” Mr. Derrick Addison said happily.
“Mr. Addison, you are going to be the CEO of the head branch. Do you still want to sell me to your clients? I mean, I am a lowly woman. I …….. I have no idea that you were that much strong. I……..I thought I can convince you to let me go. Please let me go. You also know that I can not harm you.” Nina Anderson begged in a cry like voice.
“Letting you go? Do you think that it is that easy? No Miss Nina Anderson. You although you can not harm me,I need your help to make my position strong in front of my Grandpa. I know my Grandpa. Although he asked me to be present in the meeting tomorrow, he is still not convinced of my capability. I lost the business partners due to you. I can get them back, by handing over you to them. I must make a deal tonight with them and prove my capability.”
“Mr. Addison, please don’t do this.I…….I am really scared. Please let me go.”Nina Anderson could not stop her tears.
“Miss Nina , we are almost there. Don’t try to make a scene now. Otherwise, I will harm your Mr. Thomson more. Aren’t you here to save your Mr. Thomson? If you do as I planned,I will not make things harder for your Mr. Thomson. Although I am going to replace him, I will not kill him. Only you can save him. You know that after losing his position, he would become a poor man. Do you want that poor man to die this early?”
“I will do as you ask.”Nina Anderson wiped her tears and said with determination. She now pressed something to stop on her sleeve.
