Chapter 112 - I Have Lost My Appetite Suddenly

Inside a restaurant in city R, Lucy Lin was waiting for Mr. James Thomson.

"Why is he not here yet? I am waiting for him for half an hour. Is he going to cancel the meeting at the last moment?"Lucy Lin murmured worriedly. Her assistant smiled to see her impatience. He had never seen her that much impatient in past.

"Boss, don't worry. He will arrive within ten minutes. His assistant called me just now. They had stuck in the traffic."

"O......ok.A.....actually I am a little bit nervous. He is such a famous businessman. I had never thought that he would come here to meet me. I always wanted to be a partner with Trudominion Private limited. But he never allowed us to meet him, But now he is coming here to meet me himself. Is not it a great thing?"Lucy Lin asked happily.

"Yes, boss. I think he has already decided to be a partner with High Cloud. Otherwise, he would not have come here."The assistant replied. As they were speaking, Lucy Lin's mobile phone rang. She looked at her mobile annoyingly. It was Mr. Harry Jian. She declined the call and switched off the mobile.

"Useless man. Always calls me in odd time."She mumbled.

"Boss, here. Mr. Harry Jian wants  to speak to you."The assistant forwarded his mobile towards her. She accepted the mobile with a gloomy expression.

"Hello, Lucy."

"What is it? Why are you calling me? You should know that I am very busy with my family right now."Lucy Lin said in an angry tone.

"Oh, are not you at the company right now? I have booked a cabin in a good restaurant for us. I will reach your company within half an hour to fetch you."Mr. Harry Jian said with a happy tone.

"No need. I already reached my home. So I can not meet you today. Now, please don't disturb me. I am hanging up."Miss Lucy Lin said and hung up the call.

"But I already ..........."Mr. Harry Jian wanted to speak, but could not as the call was already disconnected. He sighed and reached the front desk of the restaurant to cancel the booking. As he was speaking to the manager of the restaurant, suddenly he noticed Lucy Lin's assistant coming down from the stairs.

'What is he doing here in this time. Should not he at the company right now?'Mr. Harry Jian thought and hid behind a decorative tree. The assistant returned to the restaurant with James Thomson and Peter carter after five minutes.

'Is not that Mr. James Thosom? What are they doing with him?'He thought and followed them to the first floor. He was stunned to see Lucy Lin shaking hands with James Thomson.

'Did not she told me that she has already reached home? Why did she tell me that she is with her family? Is she avoiding me? Should I go in now and ask her? No, I can not do that. Mr. Jmaes Thomson might get angry if I do that. I think I should leave now. I will talk to her tomorrow.'Mr. Harry Jian thought and left the restaurant with a heavy heart.

Inside the cabin, Lucy lin was speaking with James Thomson happily.

"Mr. Thomson.I am thankful to you.I never thought that you would meet me like that. Our company was trying to be partners with Trudominion for a long time. I just can not believe my luck today."Lucy Lin said with a flirtatious smile.

"Miss, Lucy. When I want to protect my own people, I can go to hell also."Mr. James Thosmon said in a serious tone.

"Oh.Mr. Thomson, would you speak in a simple way, so that I can understand?"Miss Lucy Lin said in a confused tone.

"Miss, Lucy Lin, don't worry. You will understand everything once I will deal with you directly. I wanted to meet you to discuss our partnership."James Thomson said without looking at her.

"What! A.....are you really going to accept our partnership?" Lucy Lin asked in a shocked tone.

"Yes. But before that, my people will go through the internal assessment of your company.I want to make sure that, there are no loopholes inside the company management. Otherwise, it will affect our company.I came here personally to let you know this. Just think about this properly and let me know if you agree. I will be waiting for your reply."Mr. James Thomson said in a cold tone and left the restaurant.

Inside a beautifully decorated room, a middle- aged lady was sitting on a couch angrily. A man was standing nearby with his head lowered.

"How can you be such careless? Did not I tell you to keep her under your observation? How can you let her leave the company? We could have kept her under our control only in High Clouds. But you've let her leave that easily? You are such a useless.I should not have to trust you. You were unable to do this little work, and trying to get a big company under you?"The lady yelled angrily.

"Sister, I am sorry. I tried, but I could not do anything in this matter.I was followed every instruction given by you . Her name was in the top search for a few days. But what can I do against the CEO? Lucy wanted to fire her anyhow. So I could not keep her in the company any longer."

"But why? Why Lucy is doing that? Should not she keep herself clean as a CEO? How can she fire her like that?"

"I think she has done it as she considered Nina Anderson as her love rival. But I think what Lucy has done is not bad at all."The man said in a low voice.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Sister, what Lucy has done is good for us. You wanted to make her life hard. Lucy has already made her life hard enough. She has blacklisted Nina Anderson. So in the future, she would not be able to join any company. Without a proper job, do you think that she would be able to live a decent life?"The man said with a wry smile.

The lady lost in deep thought.

"Ok.I understand.As Lucy has already decided, we can not go against her wish. You just keep an eye on that girl. But be careful, Lucy must not find out anything about it. Now tell me about the current situation of that girl. Where is she? "The lady asked thoughtfully.

"She has joined a restaurant as a waitress."

"What a waitress?Good.It is a perfect job for her. Make sure that she can enjoy her job there."The lady said with a mocking smile.

"Don't worry. I already asked the manager to do so. He would not let her work there for a long time."

"Ok.What about her house?"

"I talked with her previous owner of that apartment, who agreed to co-operate with me in exchange for a few bundles of cash. But he suddenly sold that house to someone mysterious."

"What do you mean by mysterious. Who is that?"

"I could not gather much information about it. I think the property is bought by some influential person. The identity of the owner is kept hidden."The man said in a thoughtful voice.

"Ok. Let it go then. Although we can not throw her out of that house now, we can not stop here. I am doing everything for my child. So we must try to ruin her."The lady said in a dangerous tone.

"Yes, sister. I understand."The man said and left the house thoughtfully.

In the evening, when Nina Anderson reached home, James Thomson was waiting for her in the living room.

"You have come. That's good. I am waiting for you."James Thomson asked with a smile.

Nina Anderson looked at him questioningly.

"Why? What happened? Is there something you want to discuss?"She asked in a serious tone.

"Nothing much.I just..........."James Thomson wanted to speak something, but she stopped him.

"If there is nothing important, then, I will go to my room. I am a bit tired."She said and left the room.

"But,I have prepared dinner for........."James Thomson wanted to speak, but could not as she already closed the door of her room. James Thomson looked at the closed door thoughtfully.

'Why is she avoiding me? We have met each other after such a long time, should not she at least talk to me properly? She is giving me a cold shoulder whenever I want to approach her. She has not even smiled at me. Was not she always warm- hearted in the past? How can she be turned into such cold -hearted person within these few months? Or she was always like this? Might be her personality was different that time as she forgot her past that time.'James Thomson thought.

James Thomson sighed to see the closed door. He got up and reached the dining table where he kept the dinner he prepared for both.

"I have lost my appetite suddenly."He murmured and left the room.
