'Miss Louisa, of course you know very well how Mr. George. If he wanted something it would be very difficult to refuse it. Moreover, this desire is closely related to the Tomkins House company. But if it were to work with the Caldor Styles company, I don't think that would ever happen, Miss."
'I agree with what Mr. Brooke. This is not only a matter of coercive cooperation, but, it can also have an impact on changes in the work system, vision and mission in Tomkins House. This company is a book publishing and not a fashion. It wouldn't be possible and very difficult to put together with Caldor Styles."
Everyone immediately nodded their heads as a sign of agreement with what Mr. Brooke and Mrs. Hill at that important meeting together. Louisa had explained everything and got a response. But she still needs responses and other solutions that might help her. And there Louisa started to slowly massage her forehead which felt dizzy, this was quite difficult to do. Especially talking to Mr. George was something Louisa had never liked to do in these five years.
"Miss Louisa." Louisa immediately raised her head and looked at Mr. Silas. 'You are the sole owner of this Tomkins House company, and it is right time that you can make your own decisions regarding Tomkins House company, without any interference from your Uncle. A company is a very sensitive matter to discuss in the family and mix family and business matters in it. We all hope that you will understand this and think it through, my lady."
Louisa blinked a few times there and once again fell silent. But with her expression turning flat, Louisa finally nodded her head slowly. So after that, everyone there left the meeting room and left Louisa alone. "Damn it," Louisa muttered as she leaned back in the chair she was sitting on now. Meanwhile, Henry, who was waiting right in front of the meeting room, could only turn his head and look at Louisa. He wanted so badly to come into the room and help Louisa, it was just that it wasn't the realm of his job as a bodyguard.
'I must contact Lenore immediately and schedule a meeting between us. At least I should know why he wanted to work with Tomkins House. After that, I can really make a decision. Yes, I have to do it right away. If I was even a little late, Uncle George might do something to surprise me again. And I'm sure that would be a very bad thing and I don't like it."
Louisa finally got up from her seat and walked out of the room. At that moment, Henry immediately approached Louisa and walked right beside her. 'Miss, are you all right?" He asked.
Louisa who was walking straight and firm didn't even turn her head to Henry who she believed was currently looking worriedly at him. "I'm fine. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to finish all of these things. Certainly." Louisa felt very sure about it. Of course.
Louisa and Henry finally arrived right in front of Jane's room, where Jane immediately got up from her seat and looked at Louisa tensely. 'Jane, please immediately arrange a meeting with Lenore Josh Caldor, owner of Caldor Styles company. I wish the meeting was held today as well. Day or evening, I don't mind. Also tell him this is from Tomkins House, and want to discuss something very important. And urgent," Louisa explained to Jane who started to write down everything she said on a sheet of paper.
Jane nodded her head in a swift motion. "Sure, Boss. I'll do it right away."
Louise nodded. 'Okay, contact me immediately if you have got the answer they gave."
Once again Jane nodded and quickly typed an email message on her laptop and sent the message to Caldor Styles' corporate email. In addition, Jane also did not forget to contact Lenore's secretary Josh Caldor to say all this. Seeing that, Louisa immediately walked away to enter her study, followed by Henry who was walking right behind her. Louisa plopped down on her work chair, she was annoyed with herself. She was still too attached to Uncle George who was always trying to put pressure on her.
As for Henry, he decided to stand not far from Louisa's desk, while keeping an eye on Louisa. "Henry?" call Louisa suddenly.
"Yes, Miss?"
Louisa looked at Henry who she thought was not like her usual. Henry looks pretty quiet and doesn't behave much. And it was a little strange for Louisa, but Louisa chose not to think about it too much. 'Do you think I can give up the control my Uncle gave it to me?"
Henry opened his eyes wider, surprised by the question Louisa had just given him. He was silent and didn't know what to say now. But when Henry's sea foam green eyes met Louisa's sea blue eyes, something was hard enough for Henry to resist. 'Miss… I know that you are an extraordinary person. You are kind, full of talent and such an extraordinary personality that I don't know how to describe it. And I know that no simple words can describe who you are."
Henry paused for a moment and tried to calm his pounding heart a bit, which was becoming increasingly uncontrollable. His eyes were starting to glaze over. 'When I saw you for the first time, I knew that you are capable and definitely can do anything you want and expect without asking anyone else. You have power over yourself, Miss. And not someone else. You are the owner of your own life. So if you want to give up control of your Uncle, then I'm sure you can do that by yourself. I know it will be difficult when you see how your Uncle has been acting all this time, but you just have to try harder and believe that you can."
Louisa was silent while looking at Henry's eyes there. There is a sense of relief that she feels now, she feels more confident about what she wants to do and what decisions she will get. And Louisa was happy that someone like Henry could tell her all that. Louisa had a small smile on her lips and nodded her head faintly. And Henry could see a higher belief than Louisa's eyes, which were still staring at her there.
Kring
Louisa and Henry were startled by the ringing of the phone on Louisa's desk, and immediately picked it up. "Yes?"
"Boss, Mr. Lenore Josh Caldor said he could meet you at the Lux Restaurant at lunchtime. He also said he wanted to discuss important things with you, "said Jane-her secretary behind the phone explained.
"In that case, okay. Thanks, Jane."
Louisa immediately hung up the phone. Then began to slowly stretch her right shoulder which felt stiff there slowly, considering that the stitches were still not fully healed. 'Henry, let's go to the Lux Restaurant right now," said Louisa with a small smile.
Henry, who saw this, immediately put a smile on his face. "Okay, Miss. Come on, I'll help you carry your things," Henry replied as he stepped closer to Louisa who started to get up from her seat.
Allowing Henry to help tidy up the personal items on the table and put them in Louisa's bag.
Louisa's mind now began to wander. I'm sure, I can get the right and right answer to be able to overcome all this. If Uncle is really the person I imagined him to be, then I have to take very careful steps now. I never knew how that man thought. Louisa thought.
"Come on, Miss."
Louisa saw Henry who had helped carry her things there and immediately nodded her head. The two of them walked together towards the parking location in the basement, where Louisa's car was parked. During the trip, Louisa and Henry didn't talk much. They were both lost in their own thoughts. Even so, Louisa and Henry couldn't stop their eyes stealing glances in the car.
