Chapter 145 - I Will Never Force Her

James Thomson stared at the sick man lying down on the hospital bed thoughtfully.

"Mr. Lin,I know that you are worried about your daughter's future. But I think you should ask her opinion about this. What if she would not like to be in that position? As I know her, she is not behind money or status. She only wants to lead a simple peaceful life.

Apart from that, I don't think that it is a good idea to drag her into this mess. You also know how cruel the business world is. Although she is strong enough to protect herself, I am still worried for her. I don't want her to tire herself. "James Thomson said thoughtfully

"You are right. I am also worried about that. But I think we should give her a chance to prove herself better than anyone.I don't think that she would disagree with it, once she realizes her capabilities. That's why I want you to help her to know about its importance.

I know that she is really eligible for it.I asked Martin to get the details about the project of Khoja Green Village. As per the records all higher-ups as well as Lucy also failed to get that project, It was  Nina, who easily could pursue them using her heart.I know that she was not careful enough to get rid of some situations. But whatever she did was the best solution at that time.

This company was in a bad shape when I acquired it. I have worked hard to bring it to the present position. I have to sacrifice a lot for this company. It is like my own child.  I don't want to pass it to someone who is greedy. They only ruin the base I have created.

I want someone who would take care of it without any ulterior motives. I want my daughter to be my heir. Please help me to convince her."Mr. Lin said in a serious tone.

"Ok. I will try my best to do so. But, you have to promise me not to force her, if she really does not interested in that. I don't want her to feel stressed for anything."

"Okay. I promised. I will never force her. I will respect whatever her decision is."Mr. Lin said in a calm tone.

On the way back home, Nina Anderson was lost in her thoughts. James Thomson stared at her for a moment and sighed. He knew that there are a lot of things going on in her mind right now. So he decided not to disturb her.

"Nina, we are here."He said as they reached home.

"Oh. I did not notice."Nina Anderson said in a low voice.

"You were lost in deep thought. Now get off."James Thomson smiled and opened the car door for her.

"Thank you."She uttered and got off. As they reached the door, both of them were stunned to see Mr. Mark San was waiting at the door.

"Mark, why are you here?"Nina Anderson asked in a surprised tone.

"What are you doing here?"James Thomson asked in a cold tone.

"Why did not you accept my calls? Do you know how much worried I was? Where did you two go?"Mr. Mark San asked in a worried tone.

"I went somewhere. I left my mobile at home. Why did you call me?"Nina Anderson replied and opened the door.

"Please come in."She said.

"Why are letting him come in? It is already late."James Thomson said in an unsatisfied tone.

"Mr. Thomosn, don't worry about me. I am not here for you. So you can go to your room."Mr. Mark San said with a smile and sat down on a couch. James Thomson stared at him thoughtfully for a moment and dragged Nina towards the kitchen.

"What happened? What are you doing?"Nina Anderson asked in a confused tone.

"I just hate that man. Please don't talk to him. It is already late. Ask him to leave immediately."James Thomson said in an annoyed tone.

"Mr. Thomson, I can not ask him to leave like that. He is here to see me, as he was worried for me. He is my friend. How can I throw him out like that?"

"But...but how can he come here at this time?"

"It's ok. You need not be jealous of him. He is just my friend."

"I.....I am not jealous. I...I am just worried for you. You are tired. That's why I ....."James Thomson wanted to speak something, but Nina Anderson stopped him.

"Ok.I understand. You need not worry about me. I think I should go and speak to him. Please give me some time.I need to clear things with him ."

"Ok. I will prepare dinner."

"Ok."Nina Anderson said and left the kitchen.

"Nina, are you ok? I was trying to call you for the whole day. But you did not accept my calls. And what about the guards there? At first, they did not allow me to enter the building. I somehow managed to enter. Is Mr. Thomosn bullying you? You can tell me if there is anything. I am here to protect you. "Mr. Mark San said in a worried tone.

"Mark, I was a little busy these days. That's why I could not get time to accept any calls. But you need not worry about me. I am fine. "

"Are you sure?"

"Of course.I am fine."

"Let us go for a walk."Mr. Mark San said after thinking for a moment.

"Ok. Let's go."Nian Anderson replied. She was also wanted to clear things with Mr. Mark San. They reached the park near her house.

"Mark.I am sorry for making you worried.I was really preoccupied with something important."Nian Anderson said in a calm tone.

"So, that man is making your life hard. Is not it? I knew it.I knew that he is not a man of dignity. What if he is a rich man? Don't worry Nina.I will protect you."Mr. Mark San said in a worried tone.

"Mark, it is not what you are thinking. Mr. Thomosn is not that bad. He had nothing to do with my problems.I have my own problems. He was just trying to help me these days."Nina Anderson replied.

"No Nina,.I can not let him help you.I was thinking of different ways to help you. I have already rented a house for you. You should leave this house.I ...I can not let you live with a man like that."

"Mark,I..... I am fine in that house. You need not rent another house.I am fine with it."

"How can you be fine with it? You are going to be my girlfriend. How can I not worry about it? I can not let you live with that arrogant man."

"Mark.I ........I actually wanted to say something ."Nian Anderson said with hesitation.

"What!What do you want to say? Don't say that you are already in a relationship with someone else.I ....I like you."

"Mark.Thank you for thinking greatly about me. You are a good person. You will get someone who is really made for you.I...I can not be with you.I am sorry.I .....I was not clear about my feelings earlier. That's why I did not reply to you. But now I am clear about my feeling.I like someone.I am sorry, Mark. I am not made for you."Nina Anderson replied in a calm tone.

Mr. Mark San was stunned to hear her.He never thought that she would reject him this time also.

"Wh .......what!Are you still have feelings for that jerk Herry? Nina,I ......I am telling you,he .....he is not a good person. Please don't reject me.I really want to take care of you."Mr. Mark said in a worried tone.

"No Mark It is not Harry.It was my mistake to like him back then. But now I have nothing to do with him anymore.I know how is he.I like someone else and I am clear about my feelings this time. So please let me go.I can not be with you."Mr. Mark San lost in deep thought and suddenly realized something.

"Is......is that person is Mr. Thomson?"He asked in a calmer tone now.

"Yes. It is him.I like him."Nina Anderson said in the same calm tone.

"Is it your final decision?"

"Yes."

"Ok then.I will respect your decision. Thank you for letting me know about it."Mr. Mark San said and left the place.
