Chapter 36 - I Am Not Staring

James Thomson and Nina Anderson reached Rose Villa after half an hour.No one utter a single work on their way back to the home. Peter Carter was driving was feeling like a hell inside the car. He could not be with Nina Anderson, for an important phone call. He never thought that something like this will happen within this short period of time. He looked at his boss and his wife with a guilty look through the rearview mirror.

"I am sorry boss. I am ready for the punishment. I was not able to perform my duty efficiently."Peter Carter said in a low voice when they reached the Rose Villa.

"I will talk tomorrow."James Thomson said in a cold tone and entered the house with Nina Anderson.

He let her sit on the couch in the drawing- room and left the room without saying anything. Anyone can tell that he is very angry right now.

"I am doomed. He is not going to spare me now. I should not call Miss Helen worthless. She is his fiancee after all. How can anyone tolerate when his future wife is humiliated by just nobody.No, I should not be in front of him now. I should go to my room. I will ask for his forgiveness when he would be cool down."Nina Anderson mumbled and tried to get up. She groaned in pain. Her ankle must get hurt severely. She somehow managed to go a few steps.

"What do you think you are doing? Can not you sit for a while still?"Nina Anderson startled to hear James Thomson's voice near her.

"I....I think I go to my r.....room."She somehow uttered.

"Sit here. Let me apply for some medicine. It is good for a sprained ankle. You will be fine in the morning."James Thomson said and pulled her to sit down on the couch again. She sat down obediently. She did not want to make him angrier.

James Thomson cleaned the place with cotton and applied for some medicine. Nina Anderson looked at the man taking care of her with a stunned expression. She never thought that the cold, arrogant and heartless man she knew can be that caring.

"Have you done staring? If you have done, then let us talk about something important."Nina Anderson came back to the present to hear his voice.

" I.....I am not staring." She uttered shyly.

"Miss Nina. Are you that dumb always?"James Thomson asked in a mocking tone. Nina Anderson stunned to hear him.

"What do you mean by dumb? I am not dumb."She replied hurriedly.

"Oh.Yes.You are not dumb. You are a fool."

She looked at him with wide eyes.

"Wh.....what do you mean? I am not a dumb or fool."

"Obviously you are, otherwise these things would not happen to you."James Thomson pointed towards her hurt foot and said.

"It ....it was because ,I .....I thought...."

"What did you think? Did you think that you were there only as a showpiece of mine? Or you were thinking of breach the contract?"He asked in a cold tone.

"Wh....what do you mean?"

"Miss Nina, Have you forgotten the clauses of our contract?"James Thomson asked by looking at her eyes.

"Which clause are you speaking about? I......I could not get it."Nina Anderson asked in a low voice.

"It is clearly mentioned in the contract that we would not be a burden on each other. We have to keep ourselves safe. If we do not, we would affect each other's life. That's why I am telling you that you are a fool. The little brain you have can not realize what have you done."James Thomson said with a smirk.

"My brain is not small."She said with her pouted lips.

James Thomson looked at her adorable face for a few seconds and sighed.

"Miss Nina. How would you be able to keep yourself safe if you are like this? You must try to protect yourself. You also know that some people are behind you. How would you protect yourself from those people, if you act like this?"Nina Anderson looked at him with a confused look.

'Why is he telling me about protecting myself?Should not he be angry for calling his fiancee worthless? Has ....has he fallen for me?'She thought.

"Are you caring about me?"She asked with a smile.

James Thomson looked at her for a second and immediately shifted his eyes. He coughed lightly.

"Who cares about you. I am just wondering what my grandfather is thinking about you? He must have got the news already. Now he would suspect our relationship more. You should have to be brave to face the people around me. But now look what have you done! How could he believe that a woman whom I married, get slapped by the woman selected by him for me? You should learn some qualities to be Mrs. Thomson. Then only I can convince him."James Thomason explained with a blank expression.

"M.....Mrs. Thomson? What would I have to do for that? I don't want to fail in this mission. I was too weak there. I.....I thought she is your real fiancee, whereas I am fake. So......"

"That does not matter. You have to act like my real wife these six months. I think we should change the clauses of the contract."James Thomson said in a serious tone.

"Wh.....what change?"

"We will announce our marriage to everyone."

"What?"She said in a shocked voice. She could not believe her own ears.
