Is It Possible To Tame The Heartless CEO? - Chapter 138

James Thomson was typing something on his computer while Nina Anderson was reading a newspaper.

“Are you bored?” James Thomson asked as he saw Nina Anderson was yawning.

“Yes, sitting here and reading magazines is a little boring. But I think it is better to sit idly at home alone.” Nina Anderson replied with a smile.

“Darling, that’s why I asked you to join my company. Would you please rethink it? I would like to have you as my secretary.” James Thomson said with a smile.

“I think it is not a good idea.” Nina Anderson said in a calm tone.

“Are you still refusing to join me? Why?”

“Because I don’t want you to drag down with me. I am a blacklisted employee. It will affect your company’s reputation if I join this. I don’t want you and The Trudominion Private Limited to suffer due to me.” Nina Anderson said in the same calm tone.

“Nina, need not worry about it. It is not a big matter. I can control this type of situation.”

“I know. I know that you can do it. But I don’t want you to burden you with my own problems. Apart from that, I don’t like office romance. Don’t you think that being twenty-four hours together is too much?”

“So, are you going to spend nights with me? That is not bad after all. I like it.” James Thomson asked with a teasing smile. Nina Anderson blushed hard to hear him.

“I…I did not mean that. I…..I….”

“I know. You don’t need to be shy. I know that you did not mean that.Ok.as you are persistent, I will not force you to join my company. I would like it more to see you here in my office and spending time with me.” James Thomson said with a flirtatious smile. Nina Anderson rolled her eyes.

“You do your work. I am going to take a nap.” Nina Anderson said and got up.

“Ok. I have a meeting to attend now. Will you be ok by yourself?” James Asked worriedly.

“Don’t worry. I will be fine. You can do your work.” Nina Anderson smiled and entered the adjacent room.

James Thomson returned to his cabin when it was already lunchtime. He ordered takeout and set the table.

“Nina Let us have lunch.” He called her and both of them had their lunch together. As they just finished eating, Peter Carter came in with a file.

Peter Carter bowed to her and handed a file to James Thomson.

“Boss, I have got some information about that day. “Peter Carter said in a low voice and waited for James Anderson to reply.

“Ok. You can tell both of us. She should know who is the person behind it.” James Thomson looked at Nina Anderson for a moment and said. Nina Anderson looked at both of them questioningly.

“Have you found who was the person behind them?” She asked curiously as she reached near them.

“Yes. They were from High clouds Enterprise.” Peter Carter replied.

“What!” Both of them said together in a stunned tone.

“Yes. They tried to remove all the shreds of evidence like CCTV footage, but I got a few eyewitnesses. They said that they are personal bodyguards of the Chairman and his family.”

“What? The Chairman and his family? How can this be possible? Why would they abduct me? I did nothing wrong.” Nina Anderson said in a worried tone.

“Peter, have you got any other information about it? Was it Lucy Lin?” James Thomson asked in a thoughtful tone.

“Boss, it is still unknown if it is Lucy Lin or her mother. Because as those bodyguards were used by The chairman, Lucy Lin and her mother, so it is not impossible to it be her. “Peter Carter remarked.

“Yes, I think you are correct. As the chairman is still in ICU, he would not send people. It must be Lucy Lin and her mother.

“But why would they try to do so? I have not done anything wrong.” Nina Anderson said in a sad tone.

“Nina, there must be some reason behind it. Don’t think too much. Even it is Lucy Lin or her mother, no one can touch you. I will protect you well. Peter increase the security around my house.No unknown person should enter the area.” James Thomson is said in a serious tone.

“Boss, I have to report something else. I don’t know if it is related to that matter or not. But I think there must be some link between these two things. Mr Martin went to your apartment today morning after you two left the house. When my guards asked him to whom he want to meet, he did not reply and left. I think he was there to meet Miss Nina, as no one know that you are living in that place.” Peter Carter said.

“What! Why would he be there? Nina, do you know him personally?” James Thomson asked in a confused tone.

“No, I met that man just once, that is on the day of the Annual day of the company. He must be there for some other reason. Some other people also live in our building. Might be he was there to meet someone else. “Nina Replied.

“Yes. That is also possible. But we have to go deep into it. When I went to visit the chairman in the hospital, he informed me that the chairman is still in critical condition.

That day, I accidentally heard his conversation with Mrs Lin over the phone. He was speaking to her when I reached there. He said that he will be present there in the hospital with the chairman day and night, so they need not go there. Although he was speaking with her politely, I can guess that he wanted to keep Mrs. Lin away from the hospital. I think something is going on there.”James Thomson said thoughtfully.

“What do you mean by that?”Nina Anderson was more confused now.

“As he was the only person with the patient, he should not leave him in the hospital to meet someone, if it is not very important. Is not it strange?”

“Yes, boss. You are correct. So we should be more cautious now.”Peter Carter mumbled.

“I am really confused. I have to nothing to do with those people.” Nina Anderson said in a thoughtful tone.

“Don’t worry Nina. We will find out everything soon. You just stay inside, until then. Nobody can harm you again.” James Thomson said with a smile. Nina Anderson nodded.

In the conference room of the High clouds Enterprise, Lucy Lin was sitting with the other board of directors. Lucy Lin called all the directors of the board to gather that day.

“Why does she call this meeting so suddenly? “One of the Directors asked another in a low voice.

“who knows? She is the CEO of this company. So she has all rights to call us anytime.” Another director replied.

“I heard that the Chairman is very sick. I think she called us here to announce about something.”

“Yes. You are correct.” One of them said and looked at  Miss Lucy Lin curiously.

“Good afternoon everyone. I know that you all are curious to know why had I called her so suddenly. I would like to inform you that I have invited you all to select the new chairman of the company. “Miss Lucy Lin said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned to hear her.

“What is are you speaking about! How can you  invite us to select the chairman  when the chairman is still alive.” Someone said.

“My father is still alive. But his condition is not good. We can not make any decisions if there is not someone in the chair. So I am here to propose my name as the new chairman of the company. You can vote for me. As you all know that I am holding most of the share of this company after my father. So I think I can take the position of the Chairman now.” Lucy Lin said professionally.

All the directors started to discuss the matter.

“Okay. We are all agreed to this. We can now cast votes for the post. Is there anyone else who wants to be a candidate for the post?

“yes. I am. I have the third-largest share of the company.” One of the directors stood and said.

“Ok then, Now we are going to cast the vote. The directors who support Miss Lucy Lin as the chairman please raise their hands.”One of the directors announced and four of the directors raised their hands to vote for Miss Lucy Lin.

“Wait. You can not cast vote right now.” Everyone was stunned to hear Mr. Martins voice.

“Mr Martin? What do you mean?” Miss Lucy Lin glared at him and asked angrily.

“Mr. Martin, why are you here?Has the Chairman sent you?” A director asked confusedly.
