Offer To The CEO

"What is so funny?" asked Hou Yi, immediately realising that given Phillipa's presence that it was the wrong question to ask.

"Well, I could say you …"

"You would not dare Pip."

"Actually, not this time. Just talking about the idiot Yang Lin. Anna is right, she has no filter when it comes to social media. She reacts without a thought."

"I am guessing she has posted something else?"

"Right Boss. She is trying to explain herself, and all she is doing is shooting herself in the foot. This is so much fun watching her self-destruct."

"It is, and how much it is going to be fun watching her next foot in mouth incident."

"Sorry to interrupt the fun ladies, however just a couple of things Anna. Dr Lang, indicated to me that they want to bring in another specialist for some reason, but I think he wants to have a word with you Phillipa …"

"I am actually going to see him when I leave here Yi"

"And Officer Mu wants to come in and talk to us about a couple of matters tomorrow, if you are up to it?"

"Not a problem, and I knew about another specialist."

Before they could continue to discuss matters, the nurse came in "I am sorry to Interrupt, but Dr Chen and Miss we have to ask you to leave."

Both Amanda and Phillipa quickly took the nurse's request. Amanda however stopped to quietly ask Hou Yi "Boss, are you OK, while Anna is here if I work half days, and come and spend some time with her? I am happy to use leave for this."

"That would be fine, but I will not ask you to take leave. I will justify it to payroll, and it will make it possible for me to spend part of the day in the office." That would make it easier to hide the implementation of the destruction of Lu Corporation he was orchestrating from Anna until success could almost be guaranteed.

After the nurse performed Anna's observations, Hou Yi settled down beside Anna, and they simply sat talking until dinner arrived, and soon after Anna started to drift off to sleep. As she was drifting off to sleep, Anna realised that, despite everything she was feeling happy within herself, something that she had not felt in years.

Hou Yi, simply sat beside his wife watching her sleep until he felt tired enough that he needed to go to bed himself. He realised that doing this simple task was something that made him feel close to Anna. He just hoped that he would soon could tell her how he felt.

Friday

Hou Yi awoke up and noticed that that the sun was starting to rise. He quietly moved and picked up the neat casual clothes and entered the ensuite bathroom to have a shower. He realised that today, he needed to go via the apartment to obtain additional changes of clothes for himself and clothes for Anna to wear rather than being stuck in a hospital gown.

When he came out of the ensuite Anna was still asleep, so he moved over, and sat down on the bed beside her, gently rapping his arms around her, given she moans of pain had woken him at least 6 time during the night. As soon as he put his arms around her, she seemed to settle down into sleep. Hou Yi, simply drifted off himself back to sleep.

The next thing either of them knew was, being awoken by the nursing staff, who had come in to take the next set of observations and bring in their breakfasts. Hou Yi got up and allowed the nursing staff to do their job while arranging their breakfast to be able to eat this together once the nurses were done.

Just as Hou Yi had finished this, his mobile rang, so he stepped away slightly and answered it.

"Hello CEO Hou, Officer Mu here. I was wondering if 9am would be convenient to come and speak to you and Madam Hou?"

"Just give me a minute to check with the nursing staff." With that he placed the call on hold.

He then interrupted the nursing staff "Excuse me, I understand that there will be a further review of my wife today, along with a specialist coming in. I am on the telephone with the police who are requesting to speak to my wife and I at 9am. Is that going to interfere with this?"

"CEO Hou, as it is a request from the police, the staff will accommodate this."

Hou Yi took the call off hold and re-spoke to Officer Mu "The nursing staff indicated as it is a police request they will accommodate the request."

"I will see you then CEO Hou."

By the time that Hou Yi finished his call, Anna was eating her breakfast, so he walked back over and sat down beside his wife, to eat his. As they were eating Anna asked "I am guessing that was Officer Mu, and he is coming in to speak to us at 9am."

"Yes he does."
