Chapter 123 - I Was Worried For You

The next morning James Thomson opened his eyes and looked around. He smiled to see Nina Anderson sleeping next to him. He ran his fingers through her hair carefully. Nina Anderson opened her eyes as she felt his touch. She was about to jump out of bed but stopped by James Thomson. He held her hand.

"Please stay some time more."He uttered in a low voice. Nina Anderson looked at the man lying next to her confusedly.

"Please."He said again and hugged her.

"I.....I am sorry Mr. Thomson. I.....I was wiping your body,but I ...I slept here accidentally.I...I didn't do it intentio...."Nina Anderson wanted to speak something but was stopped by James Thomson.

"You need not explain anything. just let me hug you like this for some time."James Thomson said and hugged her tightly and closed his eyes. He fell into a deep slumber soon after he closed his eyes.

'He must be lack of sleeping these days.'Nina Anderson thought and carefully freed herself from his hug. She left the room and hurriedly.

"Oh my God! Why am I feeling so hot! I think I should take a warm shower."Nina Anderson mumbled and entered the bathroom.

Nina Anderson prepared breakfast and knocked at the door of James Thomson's room. James Thomson opened the door for her.

"Mr. Thomson, why are you dressed? Where are you going?"She asked in a stunned tone.

"I am going to work."He replied.

"How can you go to work? You are not well. The doctor advised you to take more rest. How can you go to work? Do you know how much fever you had last night?"Nina Anderson said in a worried tone. James Thomson stared at her for a moment and smiled.

"Are you really worried for me?"

"Of course I am worried for you. We are cohabiting here, so if something happens to you it will be my disgrace after all. You have taken care of me so nicely when I was at your home. Now it is my turn to take care of you as you are in my town."Nina Anderson said with a smile.

"Oh is it the real reason or there is something else also are you feeling?"James Thomson asked in a serious tone.

"Wh...what is another thing?I have no other feelings. Now come out.I have prepared a healthy breakfast for you."Nina Anderson said and left. James Thomson smiled happily and reached the dining room. He was stunned to see a lot of food at the table.

"Miss Nina, what do you think of me? Am I a monster? How can I eat so much food at once?"James Thomson asked in a shocked tone.

"You must eat these . The doctor said that you had not had your food properly. You are having malnutrition now. You should take proper care of yourself. You are not a kid anymore."

"Nina, I understand.I will take care of myself from now on. Ok? Do you know, when you are talking about it, you looked like my  mom?"James Thomson said with a laugh. Nina Anderson stared at him with pouted lips to hear him.

"I am sorry,Mr. Thomson. I will not ask you to have your food. I had gone overboard ."

"Nina Anderson, I like it. You should keep nagging me like that. I need someone who asks me to take care of myself. Ok. Let's have our breakfast now."James Thomson said happily and started to have breakfast.

"Nina, please to my room. I have to discuss something with you."James Thomson said in a serious tone after having his breakfast.

"What is it? Why did you ask me to come here."Nina Anderson asked as she entered his room. James Thomson was reading some documents.

"Come here and have a seat.I have to discuss something with you."

"What is it?"Nina Anderson asked in a curious tone as she sat down on a couch in his room.

"Are you fine? I heard about yesterday. I was really worried for you."James Thomson said in a worried tone. Nina Anderson stared at him thoughtfully and lowered her head.

"Where did you hear? Who told you about it?"She asked in a low voice. James Thomson kept his file on the table and reached near her and sat down next to her.

"Nina, is it important for you that who told me about that incident? You even got assaulted by those men but did not care to inform me. Why? Should not at least you let me know about it? Do you know how much I worried for you?Y.....you even resigned from the job without letting me know. Am I not that important in your eyes? Tell me truthfully. Why did you try to hide these from me?"He asked in a sad tone.

Nina Anderson stared at the man sitting next to her. She can see worries in his eyes.

"Mr. Thomson, it is not right."She mumbled in a low voice.

"What is not right? Is it not right that I am sitting next to you? Or is it not right that I could not sleep properly recently.I sit not right that I am worried for you? Is it not right that I want to protect you? Why Nina, why? Why are you trying to avoid me like that? Why are you pushing me away from you? Why?"James Thomson held her hand and asked in a serious tone. Nina Anderson could not look at him anymore. She lowered her head.

"Mr. Thomson, I can not reply to all your questions. But....but I just can tell you that I...I can not accept anything from you. You....you should keep yourself from me.I can take care of myself. Please don't involve yourself in my personal matters. You .....you should not help me.It.....it can create misunderstandings."Nina Anderson said and freed her hand from him.

"But I don't care all these.I just want to keep you safe.I can not let you suffer. Do you know how much I was heartbroken when I heard about that incident? I can not see you searching for a job door to door. Please, Nina, don't be stubborn. Please join my company. I will protect you from everyone."James Thomson said in a worried tone.

"Mr. Thomson,I don't want your protection. I can protect myself. Please let me live as I want.I can not accept your job offer."

"But why? Why you can not even accept the job?"

"Mr. Thomson,I am already blacklisted by High clouds.If I join your company,it will affect your company.I don't want to make your company suffer due to me."

"Nina, don't worry about my company.I can do this.It will not harm my company in anyways. Please come to my company.I am really worried for you."

"Mr. Thomson, please don't make things harder for me. You should not think too much for me. You should take care of yourself.I am not a person who fits into your world. I have my own world.I am happy in my world. So please let me live here as I wish. Please, Mr. Thomson. I don't want to involve myself with you anymore."Nina Anderson said and left the room. James Thomson stared at the door for a long time and got up to leave.

Nina Anderson reached her room and closed the door behind.

"I am sorry Mr. Thomson, I don't want you to get attracted to me when you are going to marry someone else. It will not be fair for Miss Helen. I can not let you worry for me when you should worry for your future wife."Nina Anderson mumbled.

Mr. Derrick Addison reached the hospital to visit the persons admitted to the hospital.

"Mr. Teresh,Mr. Regar, are you feeling well now?"Mr. Derrick Addison kept the fruit basket on the table and asked in a worried tone.

"Mr. Derrick are you in this business new? How can you do such a mistake? We will sue you. What do you think of us? We had transferred a large amount of money to your account to get a beating like this? Can you see us having plaster around our bodies? How can we be your business partners?"Mr. Teresh yelled to see Mr. Derrick Addison at the cabin on which he was lying down.

"Yes, Mr. Derrick, how will you explain this to us? Why are you that careless? Did not you tell us that she had no one to protect her? Now from where did that scary man appear? How can someone come after us for that woman, when you already sold her to us?"Mr. Regar asked in an angry tone.

"I am sorry. I could not think that someone will come to take revenge on her. I heard that she is already broken up with her boyfriend. I am trying to find who is that man? Please give me some time more."Mr. Derrick Addison said in a guilty tone.
