Chapter 38 - Move Aside

The next day inside of the meeting room of the Trudominion Private Limited James Thomson was discussing some matters with the members of the advertising department. Peter Carter was also present over there. His phone rang with a melodious tone. He stopped talking and looked at his mobile annoyingly. The call was from his grandfather. He rejected the call and busied himself with the others present over there. But his phone rang again. He excused himself and left the room to receive the call.

"Hello."He replied.

"Hey, punk! How dare you? How can you reject my call?"He heard his grandpa's angry voice from the other side. James Thomson sighed to hear his grandfather's voice.

"Grandpa, I am in a meeting right now."He replied.

"I don't care. I have to talk to you. Come to Rose Villa. I am in front of the house." Mr. Gerrald Thomson said in a cold tone. 

"What! wh.....Why are you there?"James Thomson asked in a shocked tone, the call was already disconnected.

"Shit! That old man is really behind me. Oh, I have to leave immediately. Otherwise, he will make things hard for Nina."He mumbled and entered the meeting room to take his blazer.

"Dismissed."He uttered and left the room hurriedly.

"What is it? Has he just dismissed the meeting?"A man in his thirty said in a stunned tone.

"I think yes. But is not it the first time, that he left a meeting like that? What happened? Is not it strange?"Another person uttered.

"I think there is something going on. What if his girlfriend called him to meet?"

"What! When did he get a girlfriend? How is this possible? Does not he always hate women? He even never met his fiancee. How can he leave a meeting for a woman? Impossible!"

"Peter Carter......."They said and looked at the stunned assistance of the CEO sitting with them. Peter Carter shook his head.

"I.....I know nothing."He replied.

"How can you not know? You obviously know. You are his assistant after all."One of them said.

"Although I am his assistant, I do not stay with him all the time. I do not deal with his personal matters after all."Peter Carter said in a nervous tone. Everyone looked at him suspiciously.

"What! Why are you looking at me like that? I am really ignorant in this matter."Peter Carter said in a low voice.

"You said you don't know anything. Don't try to make us fool. We will not buy your words. Now spill it."

"All of you will stop talking about this matter? Have you forgotten that gossiping is prohibited in Trudominion Private Limited? It is recording everything."Peter Carter said and pointed towards the CCTV camera in the room.

Everyone present over there stared at the camera nervously. Peter Carted smiled himself and left the meeting room hurriedly and sighed in relief.

In the Rose Villa, Nina Anderson was having her lunch, when the doorbell rang.

"Who is it? Is Mr. Thomson back already?"She mumbled and opened the door. Her eyes widen in shock to see Mr. Gerard Thomson at the door.

'Oh, God! Why is he here? Now, what will I do?'Nina Anderson thought nervously.

"Hey, girl! Move aside and let me go in."The old man growled.

'Oh. Y.....yes.I am sorry. W.....welcome."Nina Anderson replied hurriedly and let the old man come inside.

"You need not welcome me to my own grandson's house."He replied arrogantly and entered the house like a king. Nina Anderson was more nervous now.

The old man sat down on the couch and looked around. Nina Anderson went near him and offered him a glass of water. He accepted the glass without looking at her.

"I........I am going to brew tea for you."She said with a smile.

"Do you think that brewing tea as per my taste is that easy? I don't think you can do it. You are not at that level yet. So don't even dare to try it."He replied in a cold tone. She looked at the rude and arrogant man worriedly.

'Oh, God! Why is dealing with him that tough? I should call Mr. Thomson to inform him about his arrival."She thought and about to leave the drawing- room , but stopped to hear the old man.

"You need not call my grandson. He is already on the way."

Nina Anderson stunned to hear him.

'Oh, God! What is he? Is he a fortune teller or what? How can he reads my mind that easily.'She thought and stared at the old man closely.

"What? Are you trying to convince me? I am not a fool like my grandson. I can see through your mind. You are not married to my grandson. So don't even try to deceive me."The old man said in the same tone as before.

"Who told you? She is my legally wedded wife. You can not talk with her like that."Nina Anderson and Mr. Gerard stunned to hear James Thomson's voice at the door. Nina Anderson sighed in relief.

"Wow! you are great my Grandson! I did not know that you are so much eager to meet with me. Did not I call you only fifteen minutes back? You have made up to come here in such a short time? Have you got some superpowers? As I know that it will take a minimum of half an hour from the Trudominion Private Limited to The Rose Villa. How did you mange to come here ?"Mr. Gerard Thomson asked in a mocking tone.James Thomson sighed.

"James.As you are already here.Let us discuss the about our family matters."Mr. Gerard Thomson said and look at Nina Anderson annoyingly.

"I...I am leaving.You two please continue."She uttered in a low voice and about to leave but James Thomson grabbed her hand suddenly.She looked at him questioningly.
