Offer To The CEO

Wednesday, continued …

Nodding to Yao Tan, James turned to Alecia and said, "I guess I will need to go shopping for those gifts then Alecia?"

"Can you?  I had totally forgotten about it until Dad mentioned it yesterday as I was leaving work."

"Not a problem." James leant over and gave Alecia another brief kiss on the cheek before adding "I better head over to Hou Enterprises to finalise the arrangements with Yi so I can do that shopping."

As he went to left, he firstly shook Yao Tan's hand and Yao Tan turned and said "Alecia show your husband out before heading back to your work. The girls on reception decided to voice their opinion about you not deserving someone like James. I will wave company policy for you to show them."

Grinning, Alecia turned and took James hand as they walked out. She had only been here days, and every time she came in and out the reception staff decided that she was someone to target.  Being her father's daughter, she knew full well that she could not fight back to damage the family company as it allowed her to get this job in the first place. However, there was no way that they should be allowed to covert her husband, and her father was giving her permission to deal with that immediately.  "Thank you, Daddy."

As they exited the elevator reaching the building lobby James still had a good grasp on Alecia's hand. As they reached the reception desk, Alecia stopped and gently pulled James hand. He immediately turned around, knowing full well that his wife was ready to play some games. "Darling, I do not know how you convinced dad …"

"Sweetheart it was you. Now I must get going and you need to head back to work. Being the boss's daughter does not get you a free pass to spend time with me. I would love it if would as there are plenty of places, we could go…"

"Get your mind out of the gutter." Alecia grabbed James face, and he allowed her to pull it down for a passionate kiss. James cooperated as he missed being easily able to do this with his wife. Reluctantly he pulled back and Alecia said "Being the boss's daughter does allow me to kiss my beloved in the building. By the way, if I could I would go with you."

Laughing she stepped out of James' reach with a cute look on his face that drew laughs from James, before he said "Just you wait until tonight then…"

"I cannot wait. Now go."

James stepped closer to Alecia and gave her a brief kiss before saying "Goodbye" and turning to exit the building.

As James was leaving, Alecia turned and looked at the reception staff and said, "What are you looking at?"

One staff member had the guts to say, "Little girl you could not have such a hunk, leave him be for women who know what he wants."

"Really? You have no idea, and you want to try and break up my marriage. How long do you think you will have a job here is you hurt the CEO's daughter or his son-in-law," came a sarcastic response from Alecia.  "You have no hope at trying to get him. Leave him be or I will be saying something to people…"

The same woman could not help herself "Let the games begin little girl. I always get what I want, and I will win. You have no skill or idea about keeping a man like that. He needs me."

"Fine, trash. You have no hope. My husband loves me, has given up a life to come here for me, and let me be realistic he has already told me that when we have children in the future, if I want to continue to work he is willing to be the stay-at home parent for them. You think he will leave me, dream on."

Alecia turned and headed back to her cubby hole, while sending a text to her father about what happened. She hated going to her father for every little issue, but this was about the image that the company would present to the world.  Those women, had no reason to covert her husband, and she would use the power as the CEO's daughter she had to bring them into line.
