Chapter 70 - Reality

"Peter Carter, buy a house for me immediately."James Thomson called his assistant as he reached a hotel to spent the night there. Peter Carter shocked to hear his boss.

"Wh.....what?A house?Why?Where are you right now?"

"I am at hotel Swan right now. Bring the documents of the most suitable house for me here ." James Thomson explained everything and hang up the call.

Peter Carter reached the hotel in which James Thomson was staying.

"Boss, here is the list of the properties, which are the royal estate agencies are going to sell. Please have a look at this ."Peter Carter said and handed him a file. James Thomson accepts the file and had a look at the documents.

"I like this house. Buy it for me. I want to shift there as soon as possible."James Thomson muttered.

"Ok Boss. I will confirm this house for you."Peter Carter said and called the royal estate agent.

"Boss, it's done. It will take one week to prepare the house for you. "He added.

"Ok. Then you can leave. I have to take a shower now."James Thomson said and got up.

"Boss, there is something I need to speak about."Peter Carter said.

"Well, tell me, what is it?"

"Boss, is  Mr. Thomson really want Miss Sammie's presence in your life?"

"What do you mean by it? Why would not he?"

"Boss, I think he has no intention of searching for her from the start. I think he is trying to hide something from you. Leaving the Thomson Manor for time being is a good decision for you."Peter Carter said with hesitation.

"Peter Carter, what nonsense is this? What do you mean? After leaving the Thomson manor, I have thought about the matter.I think I had overreacted.I should not react like that .

He is my grandpa after all. I left the Thomson Manor, to be independent. But now I am thinking that I should not have left the house.I should pursue him more to wait a few years more for my Samie."

"Boss, but what I can not understand that he is a powerful person. How could he not get single news about her? Is not it strange? At least he should get some links to search for her. It is only possible if someone very powerful person is trying to hide these data purposefully. I just wonder who is more powerful than him? It is possible if only he is doing it purposefully."Peter Carter said thoughtfully.

"He would not do such a thing. If you see from his perspective, he is not doing anything wrong. What he is doing is only for my future. It is a different thing that I have a different view about reltionships. He is trying to make my future bright.

If I did not meet with Samie thirteen years ago and don't fell for her, I might have accepted Grandpa's proposal to marry the girl he chose for me. But now I could not do it as I think my future is not with the girl he chose. I think he would also understand this very soon. He is rude and heartless on the outside only. But he is warm inside."James Thomson said in a serious tone. Peter Carter stared at his boss worriedly.

"Boss, please listen to me carefully. I think you might feel heartbroken if you hear this. But I think now it is time to know you this."

"What is it, Peter? Will you explain it or not? Don't try to pull too long ."

"Boss, lady boss called me two months ago and informed me something about your Grandpa.Sh...she said that she tried to discuss this with you, but you were not ready to listen to her. She told me to tell you these things. But I could not, as you were very happy these days.I know that you trust your Grandpa. But please don't trust in him blindly. It is the message from your mother."Peter Carter said in a low voice. He knew that James Thomson would feel heartbroken to hear this.

"My mom? What did she tell you?I don't think she has any intention to help me. She ....she..just leave it.You just tell me what did she tell you?"

"She told me that she listened to something your Grandpa speaking about your marriage with Miss Porter two months ago."Peter Carter informed what exactly Mrs. Catherine had said to him.

"No, Peter.I think mom has misunderstood something. Grandpa did not bring about my marriage with the lady of the Porter family two months ago. He was discussing her today only. James Thomson said in a clear tone.

"Boss, I think what Mrs. Thomson heard that day is not wrong.I think she heard it correctly. Because she told me clearly that your Grnadap was speaking to some Mr Porter.I ...I am sorry, but I have done some research about this matter, as I did not want to come to you without any proof.I.....I know you will not believe it, but what your mother told me is true. Your Grandpa, called Mr Porter that day. So,I think he had planned it with Mr Porter to ...to hide the information about Miss Samie.So.....so that you would be getting ready to marry the granddaughter of Mr. Porter."Peter Carter said with hesitation. James Thomson stared at Peter Carter with a blank expression. He could not think clearly.

"B....boss.I am sorry.I know you must be shocked to hear this. But I think this is true that your Grandpa was trying to d......"

"Deceive me?Ha ha......I was really a fool to trust him and waste my time like that. Peter, you should have informed me earlier.At least I would have been prepared for this."James Thomson said in a sad tone.

"Boss,I was not sure about what lady boss told me.I wanted to gather solid proof as things were not clear by then. But today when you told me about the sudden announcement of your engagement with Miss Porter, everything became crystal clear."

"I just can not believe how can a grandfather do it to his own grandson. Now I understand, why did he agree immediately to search my Samie himself and told me to rest assured that he would find her.He.....he even let me promise to him that if he would not get her, I have to marry the girl he chose.How shameless! How can he do this to me?"

"Boss, now what should we do? Would you go and ask him about it? But I don't think he would work,as we had not got any proof that they were hiding the information about Miss Samie."

"Yes.Peter Carter.My Grandpa wants to play with me. Good then.I too want to play with him. Let him think that I will marry the girl he chose. But I will never marry the girl, whose grandfather can do such a thing. Peter ,I can not let him know that I know everything about his schemes. Before telling him anything,I have to search for her. I must find My girl .

What if she is in danger? Now,I can not trust my Grandpa anymore. If he is trying to hide my girl from me, then he must know that where is she. He can hurt her if I tell anything about her. Peter, you just help me to postpone the marriage.I need more time in my hand."James Thomson said in a thoughtful tone.

"Yes, boss. What you are saying is true. Miss sammie would be in danger if he knows about it. We have to search her secretly."

"Peter Carter, I have to go there again with some new strategy. It is the only way to get in touch with my Samie."

"Boss,I think we should send some people there in disguise. If Mr. Thomson is trying to hide her, then he must have kept some of his people in that village."

"Ok. You plan everything and let me know."James Thomson said in a thoughtful voice.

After that day to the present time, James Thomson and Peter Carter were trying to find Miss Samie of that mountain village, but they got nothing.

"Boss, I am really frustrated now. We have tried everything. But got nothing there. Where she can be? Or what Mr. Thomson said is true? Is she really gone missing without any trace?"Peter Carter asked in a worried tone.

"Peter Carter, we both know that it is not true, then why are you being so confused? We will find her for sure. This time I will go to that village myself. Get ready for the trip."James Thomson said with a serious tone.

"And what about your date with Miss Porter?Are you going to ........"

"No,I will go on a date with her this time for sure. We will leave immediately after that."James Thomson said with a smile.
