Offer To The CEO

Friday, continued …

Pausing before continuing, with what Hou Yi knew would make Anna angry. "I told James yesterday, as a wedding present I would buy them a house in Warrnambool to live in while James finishes his degree, and a place here. Before you ask why, Alecia is my goddaughter. She she started school her friends talked about their godparents, and she went home and demanded to know why she did not have them. Tan asked me would I be the triplet's godfather. That entitles me to spoil her somewhat and given James is your brother the last thing I want is for them to struggle when I can help."

"Yi, I do not know what to say."

"I just want to take your worries away Anna." With that he leaned over and gave her a kiss, that soon became passionate. He pulled away, and looked at the clock, realizing the time.

"Sweetheart, if I do not move I will not be free for when James and Alecia obtain their wedding certificate given I have a lot to do in the office today. Before I leave I will ask Rosemary to come in and help you get ready for the day, otherwise it will be an hour or more before either or us get going."

With that Hou Yi, gave Anna another deep kiss and reluctantly pulled himself away before having a shower and getting ready for the day. While Hou YI was in the shower, Anna went to the wardrobe and located clothes for the day, before heading back to bed. Before he left the room, Hou Yi placed the clothes Anna had selcted into the bathroom before giving Anna another kiss and leaving the room and locating Rosemary to make the arrangements for her to help Anna.

Twenty minutes later Rosemary arrive to help Anna. As Anna was showering they talked about last night's news.

"Anna, you know I think that husband of yours will have to be wary when your gets to Australia as everyone who was not here will want to kill him."

"Rosemary, do you know, I do not give a care. I have already debated this last night and this morning with Yi. His position despite a couple of things is that the two of them will make a go of it. I do not know, but I have to trust James is making the right decision. I suspect, they will in a few years separate, but if we oppose it, we would loose him."

"True, he seemed happier than I have seen in him years. Living with your mother has be sucking the life slowly out of him. This will get him away from her and in reality she only has herself to blame for her children and step-children wanting nothing to do with her."

"True, and if what Yi has told be about Alecia is true mother will find out what a strong girl is. Apparently Alecia gave her father two choices yesterday, agree to the marriage now and have a relationship with her in the future or oppose and she would simply wait for twelve months and have nothing to do with him."

"Vicious. James has found someone who will deal with, and I hate to call your mother this, the witch."

"Do not worry, you know I have called her worse. James is too soft-hearted when it comes to her, and has always tried to excuse her behaviour. The first time she says anything to Alecia he will now tell her were to go." Anna paused as she figured she needed to know the other thing Yi told her.

"Yi also told me, that they do not have to worry. Apparently, Alecia, along with her siblings was given an amount from their grandparents to judge things about whether they can have access to certain money and shares given to them. Her brothers used it to support what most people believes is their unattainable sports dreams. Alecia, used it to invest and took six million and within six months turned it into eighteen million."

"You are kidding me?"

"From what Yi told me, I am not. So, it means that mother dearest cannot have any influence."

Rosemary, given Anna was finished helped her out of the shower, and get ready for the day before they went to join everyone for breakfast, and to go out for the day until James and Alecia obtained their wedding certificates.

As everyone was leaving, Anna reminded the staff that they needed to pack for her family, including James, and have the bags ready to go to the airport later tonight, and to arrange for additional cases if required.
