Is It Possible To Tame The Heartless CEO?

"What do you mean by search yourself? Do not you trust your grandpa?" Mr. Gerard Thomson asked in a sad tone.

"It is not that Grandpa. How I can not trust you? But I need to recheck this."James Thomson replied.

"This is enough, James. I have kept my word. Now it is time for you to keep your promise."The old man said in a serious tone.

"Grandpa, I know that you have done a lot for me. But please let me try a little. Please, Grandpa."James Thomson said in a calm tone.

"No, James, I can not waste more time. You promised me . Are you trying to break your promise? You know that I am not well these days. Thomas..."Gerard Thomson signalled his assistant. He nodded and handed James Thomson a file. It was the medical file of Mr Gerard Thomson.

"Boss is suffering from severe heart disease. Here is the report. The doctor said that he has not much time left."Thomas said with lowered his head.

"Yes, James.I am not well. I want to see your family before I left this world.I have only hope for you. I can not tell this to my other grandchildren. They have already abandoned me. Please, my grandson. Please don't run after that girl. You have already lost your precious time on her."The old man said in a sad tone. Adam James stared at his grandfather for some time blankly and left the room without uttering anything.

"Thomas, you can leave now. Thank you for your hard work."The old man said with a smile.

Thomas bowed to him and left the room. The old man smirked and dialed a number.

"Hello," A man replied from another side of the phone.

"Congratulations, Mr. Porter. It's time now. I am going to announce their engagement tomorrow." Mr. Gerard Thomson said happily.

"Oh, really?Thank you, Mr. Thomson. I did not think that you would be able to do this that early. Our Helen would be very happy to hear it. She is waiting for this moment for a long time." Mr. Porter replied happily.

"Oh. She is a sweet girl. I am looking forward to calling her my granddaughter-  in -law."

"Thank you, Mr. Thomson, thank you very much for your consideration. But what about that girl? Have you got any information about her?"

"Oh, don't worry my dear friend.No one would speak a word about that family. It is not possible to find her. I know my grandson, he would try to search for her himself. But I made sure that he would not find her. Don't worry about it much. He can not deny this time. But make sure not to mention this to a single soul. My assistant also does not know that."

"Don't worry, it is a secret between us." Mr. Porter said with a laugh.

"Yes. Just get ready for the engagement."Gerard Thomson said and hang up the call.

The next day the old man informed everyone to gather in the living room.

"I called you here to announce something ."The old man announced.

"What is it?"Everyone asked him curiously.

"Our James is going to engage with the granddaughter of my best friend. I am here announcing their engagement. Congratulations my dear grandson."

Everyone shocked to hear him.

"What do you mean my engage with someone? What is it?"James Thomson asked in a shocked tone.

"Yes my dear grandson, I talked to my friend. Helen Porter is a sweet girl from the porter family. She is the only child of the family. She is the granddaughter of my childhood friend. She is a perfect match for you. She too happily agreed with my proposal. I also sent this news to Thomas to announce on our website. It will increase our share price."The old man said happily.

"Father, is not it a little early to do this?"Harris Thomson said in a low voice.

"Yes, father.I think we should give James some time to clear his mind. Please reconsider it."Catherine Thomson said in a worried tone.

"What do you mean by reconsidering it? I have done this with a lot of thinking. She is a perfect match with him. The porter family is a leading family in our city. It is not easy to get a bride from a family like theirs. After the marriage, we can make our business spread more. Our Trudominion Private Limited would get new and strong support to grow more. They are going to make James their successor. Is it not a good deal?"Gerard Thomson replied happily.

"But father.I think we should not see this like this. At least we should not do trade with his life."Catherine Thomson could not stop herself. She looked worriedly at her son, who was sitting in his place silent.

"Catherine, you are a woman. What do you know about business? You should not speak here. What I am going is good for us. It will help everyone."The old man said arrogantly.

"But....."Catherine Thomson wanted to speak something but stopped by her father - in - law.

"Catherine, you can leave now.I am going to discuss this with my son and grandson now."The old man said in a cold tone.

Catherine Thomson nodded and left the room with a worried expression.

"Father,I am also agreed with Catherine. We should not..."Harris Thomson wanted to speak, but the old man glared at him. So he could not complete his words.

Harris Thomson looked at his son. James Thomson was sitting there without speaking a single word. Although he was not speaking anything,but anyone can say that his expression was very dangerous now. He got up suddenly and left the room.

"Hey! Where are you going to? I have not done speaking yet."Gerard Thomson called him, but he did not look at his grandfather.

"James Thomson, please try to understand me."His grandfather said from his place. He stopped at the door.

"Grandpa, you do what you think right and I will do what I think is proper."James Thomson said in a calm tone and left the room.

"Wh...what did he said? Is he ignoring me right now?"Gerard Thomson said in an angry tone.

"Father, please give him some time.I think he is upset right now.I am going behind him."Harris Thomson said in a worried tone and left the room.

"Where is James?"Harris Thomson asked Catherine, who was standing like a statue near the staircase.

"I think he is in his bedroom.I.....I am very worried about him. How unlucky am I .I.....I even can not go near him, when he needs me the most. Please go near him and try to console him a little.He must be heartbroken now.Poor boy! "Catherine Thomson said in a worried tone.She could not stop her tears.

"Don't worry, Catherine, everything will be fine. You just go and take some rest.;' Harris Thomson said and forwarded towards his son's room hurriedly. He knocked at the door of James's room but got no reply from inside.

"I am coming in my son."He said and pushed the door open. He shocked to see James was packing his bag.

"J....James where ate you going?"He asked in a worried tone.

"Dad,I can not stay here more.I don't want to face the reality more."James Thomson said with a blank expression.

"No, my son. Please don't leave. We will surely find a solution for it. I will try my best to stop your grandpa. But please don't leave us behind."Harris Thomson said in a worried tone.

"No, dad. Please don't stop me.I must leave.I have left no other way now. I just can not want to see the person's face who can push me to distress with a smiling face. But don't worry dad.I will keep on fighting.I know that I can not be weak .I have also some dreams in my life. And I promised myself to fulfill those dreams.I only can fulfil those dreams when I would be able to do self-reflection. So, please don't stop me. 

And I promise I will not let your dreams go to waste. I will try my best to keep the position in the Trudiminion Private Limited for you until Liam returns to take it. Don't worry too much. I am not going far. I just can not live under the same roof as my grandfather. I am sorry for being such an unfilial son."James Thomson said and got ready left the house.

"Listen, my son. Do as your heart tells you. Remember that your father and mother are always with you. Be safe my son."Harris Thomson said with a smile.

James Thomson smiled to hear his father and left the Thomson manor.
