Chapter 158 - I Was Very Worried About You

Inside a hospital room, Mr. Derrick Addison was sitting beside the bed where Mr. Gerald  Thomson was.

"Derrick, my dear Grandson, you are here!I am so lucky to see you here. Thank you very much.I......I have wanted to meet you for a long time."Mr. Gerard Thomson said in a weak voice.

"Grandpa, you are injured. How can I not come here?I was very worried for you."Mr. Derrick Addison said with a smile.

Mr. Gerard Thomson sighed.

"I know. You are so caring. You always present near me, whenever I need you. But ...but my other Grandchildren were never been that much caring toward me.I am really wanted to see all of them at this time. But...but they don't have time for me."Mr. Gerard Thomson said with a  sad tone.

"Grandpa, they must be busy with their own works. I am here on the behalf of all of them. So you should not be sad. But why did go there? Did not uncle go with you? Why did you go there alone?"Mr. Derrick Addison said in a worried tone and stared at his Grandpa meaningfully.

"Harris wanted to go with me, but I stopped him.I went there alone. Because........because, someone wanted to meet me there alone."

"What! Someone wanted to meet you alone! But why? Why am I have a feeling that it is pre- planned.

"I....I don't know if it pre -planned or not. But ...but I...was worried for you. That's why I went there."Mr. Gerard Thomson said in a thoughtful tone.

"What! You......you were worried for me! But why? Why did you worried for me? What did I do to make you worried?"

"Yesterday when I was wresting in my bedroom,I received an anonymous phone call. The person told me that you are doing some illegal activities behind my back. That person asked me to go there, to show me the pieces of evidence.I did not believe in his words. That's why I decided to meet the person.

You know your uncle. He never liked you.I did not want him to know about it. That's why I decided to go there alone.I.....I never thought that it might be a trap for me.I wonder who that person might be. How can he use your name to harm me? I even could not see his face as he attacked from the back."

"So, you are injured due to me?I am sorry Grandpa.I ....I could not protect you well. But, who that person might be? I think that person hates me as well as you. He even used those lowly tricks to bring you to that place.

It should not be from our family... What do you think Grandpa? Can it be from our family? But why would they attack you?....No ....no I..... I think I am wrong. Even it is for the property and position, but .....but it should not be from our family.  It must be someone else. I am sorry Grandpa. I should not speak those words.I know how all of them, like you.

But ...but truly speaking, I know that James bro has never liked me. He always tried to harm me. He even helped the High Clouds Enterprise of the city R, to get the plot in Khoja Green Village, which you wanted to get.I tried my best to get that plot for you. But .......but I could not get it as he helped a woman sent by the High Clouds Enterprise to pursue the villagers.I am sorry Grandpa,I could not fulfill your wish.

I don't know why is he like that? He even fought with the business partners of the branch in the city L.Now.......now I am having trouble to get back those people in the branch. He even beat them that badly that they had to be hospitalized for almost a month.

Now you see what has he done? When he was busy dating that woman in the city R, here the company suffering such a loss.I ....."  Mr. Derrick Addison could not complete his words as Mr. Gerard Thosmon stopped him.

"Wh.....what did you say?Waht hapepnd in the comapny?"He asked in a shocked tone.

"Oh.I am sorry, grandpa.I did not know that you don't have any knowledge about it.I ....I think I should not tell you all this. It might harm you."Mr. Derrick Addison said in a worried tone.

"Tell me everything. How can they hide all these from me?"Mr. Gerard Thosmon growled.

"Grandpa, please calm down.It is not good for you. They would blame me for making you sock again."

"Just tell."

"Ok. Someone hacked the main system of Trudominion Private Limited.It is suspected that the company has already lost most of its important data . James bro was not present here at that time, so the damage has become severe. It could have been recovered if he would have work for it earlier. But he was in city R at that time with that woman. It took him a few hours to come back here. So, now I think it has become a disaster for the company already.

I...I even heard that the board of directors has already called an emergency meeting tomorrow. The agenda of that meeting is the dismissal of the CEO.I never thought that it would get that bad. The news has already spread all over the news. So James bro has reached a hard spot. He should not have spent all his time with that woman instead of working." Mr. Derrick said in a worried tone and looked at the old man who was lost in his own thought.

"Are you fine Grandpa? I am sorry. I should not say those things. You must be angry at me."He added as he saw the old man did not reply.

"Is that woman Nina Anderson?"The old man asked in a thoughtful tone.

"Yes. How do you know her?"Mr. Derrick Addison asked in a curious tone. He did not know that his Grandpa knows Nina Anderson.

"That is not important. The important thing is now the situation in the company.I can not let anyone else take the CEO position of the company.I have started the company with my own hands.I can not let it go to someone else. Derrick, you have to present at the meeting tomorrow morning. If they really wanted to replace James, you must take the position."The old man said in a  serious tone. Mr. Derrick Addison was stunned to hear his Grandpa. He never thought that his Grandpa would consider him for the CEO position that easily. He somehow managed to hide his happiness.

"No....no Grandpa.I can not replace my own cousin. Uncle and others would blame me if I take the position. You know how heartless my cousin is. He would kill me if I do so. And....and I do not deserve to get the position. Everyone would object if they would know that my mother never got married to my father.I ....I am legally not eligible to be your heir."Mr. Derrick Addison said in a  thoughtful tone.

"Derrick, you need not worry for him.I have already given him the chance.But he lost it.He should have been careful. But he never cares much about the company. Although your father never married your mother, you are still my grandson.I will ask my assistant to prepare some documents related to it. You just need to be present at the meeting on time. Don't worry about anything else."Mr. Gerard Thomson said in a determined tone.

Mr. Derrick Addison lost in deep thought. Although everything is happening according to his plan, he can not show any type of restlessness to his Grandpa. Otherwise, he would suspect him.

"Derrick, don't think too much.I have decided already.I need a person like you to operate my business. Look at you. You were never interested in my property. You are the most eligible candidate for the position."His Grandpa tried to convince him.

"Okay, Grandpa. I will do as you wish. But today,I have to go back to city L. I have an important meeting with the business partners there.I will try to convince them to be with our company.I will come back tomorrow morning for the meeting."Mr. Derrick Addison said thoughtfully.

"Thank you, Derrick. You are so dedicating to the work. I am proud of you. Be my heir ."The old mand said with a happy smile.

Derrick Addison smiled back at him and left the cabin after some time.
