Offer To The CEO

Sunday, continued …

In the ladies change room, Rose had arranged a number of chairs on which Anna her family and Amanda were all sitting on. The Tailor with Rose's help brought in 8 different bolts of material, in similar hues. "Madam Hou, these were the materials that I was considering to use for your wedding dress."

"Anna, it is a waste of money to get a dress specifically made" said Rebecca.

"Rebecca, my son runs one of the top 200 companies in the world and it is solely family owned. We can afford for a dress tailor made for Anna. I have seen the design, and like my son I believe it is perfect for Anna. Here have a look." Du AnLing then handed to Rebecca and Rosemary Anna's dress design. As soon as they saw it they realised she was right.

"Ladies, what we need to decide is the material to be used. These are full bolts that I have ordered in. My supplier has indicated that they will take back what we do not want, but do you think that any of these will be the right material for the dress?"

With that everyone spent fifteen minutes looking and feeling the material and the choice was narrowed down to three. Anna, pointed to the one she liked and said "This is the one I like. OK, convince me why I should change my mind to one of the others?"

Amanda said "Anna, go with your gut feeling. It will be the right decision. All these materials a beautiful and would make that design look amazing, but you have found the one, that will make you the happiest when you have your formal ceremony, so take it."

Anna responded "That is simple. This material" pointing to the one she wanted. She continued "Now ladies, your bridesmaid dress design is set, but I will let you pick the colour. Susan has told me she wants Cobolt Blue, and she will be sending her measurements through. Once we know this, the girls dresses will match."

Amanda was quite happy with a Cobolt Blue, and Rosemary and Rebecca wanted a red rose colour dress.. Anna asked "Are you sure on that?"

"Anna, we have made our choice so settle down," they echoed almost at the same time.

Amanda continued "And Anna, do not stress. We are happy, I know cobolt blue looks good for me and I am guessing your two sisters-in-law love the red rose colour they have chosen. I have to admit if it suited me, I almost might have chosen it as well."

"OK," responded Anna quietly thinking.

Anna paused "Rebecca we want to go and have a drink somewhere, not in the VIP area, but a proper shop, but you need to arrange that we can sit in there where the guards can protect us."

"Young Madam Hou, I know exactly where to take you. Plus I will let CEO Hou know where you are, as he asked me to let him know when you were finished."

Rebecca, motioned for everyone to follow her, and about 10 minutes later, the reached a café, and were immediately show into a private room, and a waiter came in with menus. Rebecca on leaving contacted John to let him know what was happening and where the ladies were.

John, interrupted Hou Yi and said "CEO Hou, the ladies have left the tailors and are having a hot drink, shall we joint them?"

Hou Yi indicated to John that they would go meet the ladies, but as they left, his mobile rang "Dad what is going on?"

"Yi we are leaving to come to the mall to collect everyone to take them to the water park. I have the bags for the children, and your in-laws. We should be there in about thirty minutes or so."

"Dad go to the VIP entrance, and they will come and get everyone. The kids are in the play area, and us adults are going to have a hot drink."

"See you soon, Yi."

About two minutes after the call was ended they arrived at the café, and joined the ladies, and ordered drinks themselves. Just as everyone finished, Rebecca came in and spoke quietly to Hou Yi "CEO Hou, your father has arrived."

"Rebecca can you have the children escorted back to the VIP area and we will join them there."

"Not a problem, they should be there in ten minutes. I will escort you there to await them."

Ten minutes later everyone was in the VIP waiting area, and quickly everyone left other that Hou Yi, Anna, Amanda and Yao Tan.
