Is It Possible To Tame The Heartless CEO? - Chapter 159

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 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? 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 need not 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 Thomson 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 back him 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 Thomson 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 ask 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.
