14 Is he really gay?

"What are you looking at? Go to your room and have a rest."Jula heard James Thomson's voice. She was looking at the entrance as Harris Thomson and his wife left.

"Oh.Yes.Listen....."She wanted to speak something to James Thomson, but he left the room already. She looked around confusedly.

"What was that? Is he a ghost or what? How can he do this in a blink? When did he leave the room?Did not he just tell me to take a rest?"Jula mumbled confusedly and entered the kitchen.

"Miss do you want something?"Miss Cherry asked Jula with a smile.

"No, I don't want anything. Where is Mr. Thomson? He was here just now."Jula asked in a confused tone.

"Oh, Miss. Don't worry. He is in his study room. The study room is right behind the drawing - room. You can go there if you want to. But he does not like anyone to enter his study room when he is doing some works there. But your case is different. You are the mistress of this house. So you can go and come anywhere you want."Miss Cherry replied with a mischievous smile.

"Oh.No, I only wanted to know what is he doing. That's all."Jula said in a low voice and left the kitchen.

"What is this? How can he go into his study room without even looking at me properly? Am I not his fiancee? How can he be that cold towards me? Should not he ask me about my health properly? He is home after five days. Am I not that attractive? "Jula mumbled.

"Or what his mother said is true? Oh my God! Is he really gay? If... If he is gay, then what am I am doing here? Now what? How did I engage with a gay? How can I forget this important thing? Oh, my brain....please let me remember this thing at least. It is the question of my life after all."Jula mumbled and entered her room. She did not see James Thomson was coming out from the study room.

He stunned to hear her. Although he only heard her last few sentences, he could understand what is going on in her mind.

"How this woman's brain is working?A gay? ....What is this?.... My mother is surely has gone overboard this time. How can she call me a ....? What the heck?James...why are you reacting to a woman's nonsense? Are not you busy?... But how can she think me a ga....? Oh, leave it. I have to leave now."James Thomson murmured and left the Rose Villa hurriedly and forwarded towards his office.

"Boss, they are waiting for you in the meeting room. Let us go. They seemed too angry."Peter Carter informed James Thomson and opened the door of the meeting room for him.

"Hello, Mr.Porter.I am sorry for being late."James Thomson shook his hand with Mr. Robin Porter.

"I really don't mind if you are late a bit. But I would never accept if you try to be late forever." Mr. Robin Porter said in an angry tone.

"Mr. Porter , I too don't like to be late, but I don't like if anyone tries to dominate me too much. Now, will you please tell me why are you here? My assistant said that you wanted to meet me personally."James Thomson replied in a cold voice. Mr. Robin Porter looked at the man sitting in front of him.

"Mr. James Thomson, you are a wise businessman. I know you will not do anything which can harm your business directly or indirectly." Mr. Robin Porter said with a smirk.

"Mr. Robin Porter, you are obviously not here to tell me this? Will you please tell me the reason, why are you here? I have some other works to do."James Thomson said in a calm voice.

"Mr. James Thomson, my father is going to throw a party next week to make our business partnership official. I am here to invite you for that. I already invited your grandfather. This party will help to risen the stock price. I wanted to go to your Rose Villa to invite you, but your father stopped me to go there.Ha ha. Here, take this. "Mr. Robin Porter smiled and handed an invitation card to James Thomson.

"Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Porter. But are you sure that the party is only for business purposes? I think my grandfather already informed you about my opinion regarding the marriage. I am not interested in your daughter."James Thomson said in a calm voice.

Mr. Robin Porter had his hands clenched into fists and he was infuriated. But, he remembered the advice of his father.

'Don't show your anger to him. We have to be careful in dealing with that man. He is a stubborn man. He will never come to the party if you tell him anything about the marriage. We can not let him do as he wishes after getting engaged to my granddaughter. We must save our face in society. We have to make him love Helen anyhow. I just can not see her cry all night like this. You must be calm.'

"Mr. James Thmson.Today I am not here to discuss the marriage. We can discuss it later. Please be there in time.'Mr. Robin Porter said and a calm voice and got up.

"Ok. I will be there. Thank you for the invitation."James Thomson got up and shake hands with him.

"I m leaving then."Mr. Robin Porter said and left.

"Boss, what do you think? Are they doing this only for business purposes?"Peter Carter asked in a worried tone.

"We will see . Where is John?"James Thomson asked in a calm voice.

"He is waiting for you in the office."

"Ok let us go."James Thomson said and left the meeting room.

John was doing the investigation of Jula. He is the private investigator hired by Peter Carter.

"How are you doing your investigation? It is already one week, we get her. How did you get nothing till now?"James asked in a loud voice when John informed him that he could not gather any information regarding Jula's identity.

"Boss, I tried hard to find out. But I don't know why it became so difficult to find out. No one reported about her missing till now. When you hit her with the car, she was coming from the south."John informed.

"From south? Is not there is a restaurant? Did you ask there?"Peter Carter asked.

"Yes. I asked. No one noticed her. I checked the CCTV footage of the front side of the restaurant. She came from the backside and walked towards the road hurriedly. By her posture, anyone can tell that she was frightened of something. I think she was running away from someone. She has nothing in her hands. Not even a purse or a mobile phone. While crossing the road in a hurry, she even did not notice your car and got hit by it."John handed James Thomson a recording of the CCTV footage.

"It is really strange. You keep on looking at this. Maybe her life is in danger. We must find out it as soon as possible."James Thomson said in a thoughtful voice after watching the recording.
