Chapter 88 - I Was Wrong

Inside the CEO office of the Trudominion Private Limited, James Thomson was sitting on his chair without uttering a single word. He was staring at the photographs of Mr. Harry Jian and Lucy Lin spending the night together in a hotel. Peter Carter stared at his boss worriedly and got up to leave.

"Peter, how old are  these photographs?"James Thomson asked thoughtfully. Peter Carter stopped to hear his boss.

"Boss, according to the person who sent me these photographs, these are taken last week. Actually, I stopped investigating them, as you asked me to do so. But the person who got these photographs from one of his paparazzi friends sent these to me. I think they are planning together to blackmail Mr. Harry Jian with those. They just wanted to earn some extra money, that's why they sent these to me.

When I got these photographs, I ordered him to go deeper into this matter. He informed me that Mr. Harry Jian and Miss Lucy Lin were together for a long time already. I don't know why they are trying to hide this. But Mr. Harry Jian was cleary two- timing."Peter carter said and looked at his boss worriedly. He can clearly see the anger in his boss's eyes.

"B....boss, please don't get angry. I.....I think you should see these, that's why I showed these to you.I.....I am sorry for not following your order."Peter Carter said carefully.

"Well done."James Thomson said in a calm tone.

"W...what?A.....are you not angry at me?I...I thought you will get angry not to stop investigating them."

"I was wrong. I should not stop you. What about Nina? Do you have any information about her?"James Thomson asked worriedly.

"I think she is not aware of these . Otherwise, she would have created some commotion. I am just worried for her. What would happen to her, if she comes to know about the betrayal? What I learned about her, she always kept her friendship in front of anything else. She would be heartbroken."Peter Carter said thoughtfully. James Thomson lost in thought.

"Boss, now what to do?"

"That bastard! How can he cheat on her? Send more people there. We must investigate them more now. I think there is some link between her kidnapping and this Harry Jian and Lucy Lin. We must know everything clearly.

"B... but is not her kidnapping related to the human trafficking gang?"

"No, Peter. I think that kidnapping is only a cover. I think there must be something else under the cover."

"Ok. I will send more people there immediately. B.....boss, there is something else I want to report to you."

"What is it?"

"Mrs. Thomson is in city R now."Peter Carter said in a low voice. James Thomson shocked to hear his assistant.

"What? Mom is in city R? But why? What is she doing there?"

"S... she is waiting outside of Miss Nina Anderson's apartment now."

"Why did she go there alone? She even did not inform us."James Thomson said in a worried tone.

"She must be there to see Miss Nina."

"Ok. I will go back home now. Prepare documents for the branch of city R.We will go there next week."James Thomson said and left the CEO's cabin.

"I knew it, boss. I knew you would not be able to keep yourself away from her, after hearing this. I have to get ready now. I have to play a crucial role in your relationship."Peter Carter mumbled and left the office.

James Thomson reached the Thomson Manor and waited for his mother there. But she did not return the whole night. James Thomson got up early the next morning and got ready to go for jogging. As he reached near the entrance of the Thomson Manor, he saw a car entering the campus. Mrs. Thomson got off the car and entered the house lazily. James Thomson followed her hurriedly.

"Mom, why are you coming back now? I have waited for you here the whole night."Mrs. Thomson stunned to hear her son's voice. It was the first time in fifteen years that James Thomson let her feel that he was worried for her.

"James,you ...you were waiting for me?"She asked him happily.

"Yes. I heard you were in city R.I was worried for you. Are you fine?"James Thomson said in a worried tone.

"Yes, my son. I am fine. I....I have to talk to you. Please wait for me in the garden. I will go there after freshen up."

"Ok."James Thomson replied.

Nina Anderson reached city L and booked a hotel room. She decided to study everything about the project . She opened the laptop and went through all the data available.

The place selected by the company is twelve kilometers away from the main city. It is near a village with a low population. That place is a very promising place for the future as it is in the middle of three cities. There were some small roads connected to the cities. The place is surrounded by small mountains and famous for its scenic beauty. That place would be great for a resort.

The company contacted the owners of the land two years ago. At first, they agreed to sell the plot to the company. But after some time they denied the to sell the plot. The company offered them double the plot value, but the villagers rejected them.

As per a report collected by Miss Tirana, a non-government organization, named Rio has a great influence on the villagers. As per the report, the Rio group is trying to keep others away from the place. The executives of High Clouds Enterprise tried to meet the leader of the Rio group. But they never agreed to meet with them.

"I have to go and talk to the villagers."Nina Anderson mumbled and got ready to go to the village.

She reached the beautiful village in one hour and get of the taxi. She looked around the place. The village was not far from the mountains. Although it was not too far from the town, the place was not at all developed. The condition of the road, leading to the village was also not good. The huts of the villagers were also building without any planning.

Nina Anderson opened the notebook and read the address. She looked around to find anyone to ask for the address, but she could not see anyone there.

"I should go to that house and ask ."Nina Anderson murmured and reached a house and knocked at the door. An old man opened the door for her.

"Grandpa, can you please tell me where does Mr. Kiran live?"Nina Anderson asked the old man.

"The third house from here."He replied.

"Ok.Thank you. And can you tell me where does Miss Oly live?"She asked again.

The old man stared at her suspiciously.

"Are you from that company in city R?" The man asked in a cold voice.

"Yes.Grandpa.I am from High Clouds Enterprise."Nina Anderson repleid with a smile.

"Go away."The old man yelled and shut the door in her face. Nina Anderson stunned to see the old man's reaction to hear about the High Clouds Enterprise.

"I think it would be harder than I thought."She murmured and forwarded to the house the old man pointed to. She knocked at the door of the house. But no one opened the door for her.

"I think I should try some other houses."She sighed and mumbled. She knocked at the door of another house. A little boy came out.

"Hello, little hero. Do you like chocolates?"Nina Anderson asked with a smile. The little boy cried loudly ran inside. Nina Anderson could not understand what happened to him. A lady came running from inside suddenly and splashed some water on her.

"H...hey what are you doing?"Nina Anderson asked trying to save herself from the water.

"You witch! How dare you try to kidnap my child? Don't forget that his mother is still alive. "The woman yelled at her.

"I...I was not trying to kidnap him."Nian Anderson replied.

"So, my son is telling me a lie. Isn't it? How can you accuse a little child like that?"The woman yelled again.

"Look madam, I am not accusing that kid. I am here just to ask you about an address. I just asked the little boy if he would like to have chocolate."Nina Anderson tried to explain, but the woman did not want to stop her yelling.

"A chocolate? How can you offer chocolate if you are not here to kidnap him?"

"Madam, it is a misunderstanding. I am not here to kidnap your child."She said again.

Some other people also reached there to hear the commotion. The old man from the first house was also there. He came forward and signaled the woman to stop yelling.
