Chapter 103 - It Was You

"Miss Tirana?"

A man asked Miss Tirana, who was waiting for the person, who called her some time ago.

"Yes. Who are you?"Miss Tirana asked confusedly.

"I called you just now."The man showed his mobile and said.

Miss Tirana stunned to hear him. She was disappointed too. She was expecting it should be James Thomson.

"So, it was you."Miss Tiran uttered in an unhappy tone. The man observed her for a couple of seconds.

"Miss Tirana, do you know me?"He asked confusedly.

"Mister, how can I know you when I have never met you before."Miss Tirana said in an annoying tone.

"If you don't know me, then why are you seem unhappy to see me? Or did you expecting someone else here?"

"Mister, that is not your business. Now tell me why are you here?I have to go back to work. You told me that you are here for my friend."

"Yes.I am. Let me introduce myself. I am Mark San from P&L.I am Miss Nina Anderson's classmate."Mr. Mark San introduced himself.

"Oh, so you are Nina's old friend? Nice to meet you. Why are you here? And why did you ask me to meet you?"Miss Tirana asked in a confused tone.

"Miss Tirana, truly speaking, I know about the relationship of Nina with Harry Jian. As she learned about his relationship with Lucy Lin, she was very sad. I met her on the day she learned about it.

As a friend, I want to comfort her. I was trying to meet her these days, but she denied.I.....I know how sad she is. Now I was trying to call her, but her call is not going through. That's why I came to meet her at her workplace. But she is not here. One of her coworkers said that she is out of the city for some work. She also gave me your contact number and told me that you are a close friend of Nina. Do you know where is she? Her mobile phone is still switched off."Mr. Mark San said in a worried tone.

"Mr. Mark, are you really worried for my friend?"Miss Tirana asked thoughtfully.

"Of course I am. Otherwise, why would I search for you?"

"Then, come with me. We need to go to the city R now."

"What? City L? Is Nina in the city L?"

"Yes. She is. She is in danger. Let us go now. I will explain everything on the way."Miss Tirana said in a hurry.

"Ok.I understand. My car is over there."Mr. Mark San said and forwarded towards his car hurriedly. Miss Tirana followed him. Both of them left the city immediately.

"So, Lucy Lin is doing this purposefully!"Mr. Mark San murmured to hear everything from Miss Tirana.

"Yes.I know, that the CEO is trying to destroy her career. She was aware that the project on the Khoja Green Village is not going to work. But she sent her there alone. As Nina is not successful in pursuing the villagers to sign the agreement, now the CEO is going to blacklist her."Miss Tirana said in a worried voice.

"Lucy Lin was not like this before.I don't know why is she acting weird now."

"I don't understand, she had already snatched Nina's boyfriend. Should not she be happy with that? Why is she still behind her? Is it necessary to ruin her life? I am very worried about Nina. I heard that the Rio group is not easy to deal with. What if do something bad to her?I asked her to come back. But that stubborn girl did not agree. She just wanted to help the villagers. I afraid that her helping nature would push her to danger one day.  "

"Calm down Miss Tirana. Nothing will happen to her.I know her. She was always strong enough to protect herself.I think she will be fine."Mr. Mark San said in a calm tone.

"I too hope so."Miss Tirana said.

As they were chatting on the way to the city R, Miss Tirana got a message notification. She opened her mobile and stunned to see the message.

"What happened? Why are you staring at your mobile screen like that? Have you seen a ghost there?"Mr. Mark San asked in a mocking tone.

"H.....How can she do it?"Miss Tirana mumbled.

"What is it? Will you tell me?"

"The High Clouds Enterprise has announced about Nina. Th...they announced that they have blacklisted her for the future. Now she can not do any job.No one is going to let her enter their company. Oh! What shall I do now?"Miss Tirana murmured.Mr. Mark San stunned to hear her. He lost in thought.

In city T , James  Thomson was doing meeting with the directors of all the departments, when Mr. Thomas entered the conference room and announced the arrival of the chairman.

'Is he here to create a problem here?'James Thomson thought and got up to welcome his grandfather to the conference room.

Mr. Gerard Thomson entered the room and bowed to everyone present there.

"Hello everyone. I am here to check the progress of the ongoing projects. I hope that everyone is doing their best."The chairman said.

"Yes, chairman.All the projects going on smoothly."James Thomson replied.

"Ok. Who is the  in-charge of the project of the city L? We need to give much importance to that project, as it will be going to be a profitable one."The chairman asked in a serious tone.

"Chairman,I am in charge of that project. Here is the file. I have already made the blueprint of everything under the guidance of the CEO. It can be started any time after we got permission of the land ."One of the directors said and handed the chairman a file.

"Ok.Good then. Then we should start the project end of this month ."The Chairman went through all the documents and replied.

"But,I think we should start the project of city K and D, instead of city L. I have calculated everything. We can start the project of city L after two or three months. The land documents are still not gained by the company .So, we should not spend time and money on that project right now. We can start it whenever we get the land under our name.

But the project of city K, as well as city D, is ready to execute. The land documents and other documents are ready for those two cities. So, I think we should start our work on those two cities."James Thomson said in a calm voice.

"What do you mean by delaying two or three months? Are you delaying the project of the city L purposefully? How can you do it? You should not hold on to grudges against anyone so long."The old man growled. Everyone present there looked at each other confusedly.

"Chairman, I have never let any personal problems took over my professionalism. It was you who always try to give more to the branch in the city L than any other branch. That's why other branches are suffering from losses.I am doing what is good for the company. You can be assured that I will do good for all the branches. Just give me some time."James Thomson said in the same calm tone.          The old man stared at him thoughtfully and got up.

"I want to see a good result."He said and left the conference room.

As Mr. Gerard Thomson reached near the gate, he dialed a number.

"Hello, Grandpa?"He heard a reply from the other side.

"Hey, punk?How come you are still not able to get that land ? Are you that useless? Do you know how I felt when I heard that you have still in the process of getting that land? How can you be so slow? Are you still want to do business under Trudominion Private Limited? How can you still lag behind James Thomson? Are you serious with the company or just trying to pass time there? How can you be such a useless thing!"Mr. Gerard Thomson asked in an angry tone.

"Grandpa,I am busy right now. Don't bother me."The person said and hang up the call.

"What!He hung up my call! How dare he?"The old man mumbled and dialed the number again.

"Hello, Grandpa. Why are you disturbing me? Did not I tell you that I am very busy right now? Should not you at least understand those things? How can you be such a thoughtless person? Oh, I forgot! You were always like that. You always try to do what you like to do. Have you ever think that we also have a personal life? I am not your slave to hear your nagging all the time. Now I am hanging up the call .Don't call me again."He said and hang up again.

"Derrick, Derrick, listen. Grandpa wants to ........."Mr. Gerard Thomoson wanted to explain but the call was already disconnected.
