Offer To The CEO

Friday, continued …

"So what did she say?"

"Anna, she has to talk to Susanne and James, and between them they will work out who is available and let us know. If it will make you happy, then that is the best option for a nurse for a couple of weeks."

Before Anna could respond there was a knock on the door. Hou Yi looked down at his watch and noticed that it was 9am, which meant that it had to be Officer Mu, or someone telling them of his arrival.

When the door opened a nurse entered, and stated "Madam Hou, CEO Hou there is a police officer here to see you, an Officer Mu, and he has with him a lawyer Alister Nang. I am aware that Officer Mu is allowed in, but before I did anything, I needed to confirm if it was OK for Mr Nang to come in."

"Send then both in. Mr Nang, is tied up with the investigation of what happened to my wife."

The nurse left the suite, shutting the door behind her. Anna turned to look at Hou Yi "I wonder what Mr Nang wants?"

"The last I knew the investigation of the police officers who assaulted you, has stalled. There was no denying of what happened, but each of them blamed the other for what happened to get there. Both admitted that there was a call from Inspector Gang's office to Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, but they both claim the other instigated the call and the deal struck."

"Damn. Why in the world do they need to keep doing this to me."

Hou Yi could see that Anna was starting to get would up with what happened. He leaned over, and gently turned Anna's head towards him, not caring that anyone was due to walk into the suite any second and leaned in to give her a gentle kiss in the hope to calm her down.

Anna however knew that she was not going to let this be a simply gentle kiss. She knew she wanted something more than that, so she reached up, and as her husband's lips touched hers, she took his head in both her hands, immediately deepening the kiss. The immediate arrival of anyone did not matter, she just needed his passionate kiss. The problem was, despite the signals that she was picking up from Hou Yi, she could not tell him how she actually felt about him.

Neither of them knew how long they had been kissing or how long Officer Mu and Alister Nang had been standing there trying to attract their attention. They only heard a voice, which they could not identify who, say "Excuse me CEO Hou, Madam Hou."

Reluctantly they each let go of the other and slowly separated. Anna, was highly embarrassed that she had not moved back from Hou Yi before they were interrupted and her face went red with embarrassment, and she could look nowhere other than at Hou Yi.

Hou Yi, while not believing the demonstration that his wife just gave him, realised that there was things that needed to be done. He motioned to chairs around them, and indicated "Gentleman, please take a seat."

Officer Mu and Alister Nang, sat across the coffee table from Anna and Hou Yi that were on a couch, with Anna having her leg in the cast elevated.

"Well?" Asked Hou Yi, somewhat impatiently given what had just been interrupted. He wished that they were still alone and he could continue to explore what Anna was hinting at. Maybe she could have been convinced to tell him how she felt.

Officer Mu spoke "CEO Hou, Madam Hou. I am aware that you know Mr Nang has been speaking to the investigators about the investigation regarding what triggered the Assault. Inspector Gang offered to undertake a lie detector test. While is it not admissible in court, it tended to show that he was telling the truth about what happened, it was not as categorical as we would have liked, and Senior Officer Fang refused."

"The investigators have determined, unless they can obtain any further evidence that all they will be able to do is charge Inspector Gang with assault, and Senior Officer Fang with failure to protect a person under his care. They are in the process of being demoted and reassigned to police departments outside of the city. While they are almost 100%n certain that Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin were involved they will never be able to prove it."

"Actually …"

"Officer Mu, my wife has something to show you."

"Madam Hou?"

"A friend, Amanda Mei and I posted two separate photographs on social media, which got shared around by friends. They eventually came to the attention to Yang Lin, and she commented a few times on the posts. The effect of the posts was that I got what I deserved and that more would be coming my way."

"You are kidding …?"

"Actually no. We did not think that her reaction would be as it was, but I guess that she forgot to think before posting, and simply reacted rather than being considered in her response."

"Can you show me the responses?"
