Offer To The CEO

Chapter 121 - Serving The Documents



Thursday, continued ...

After Hou Yi completed his meetings he found Anna asleep, but was unable to wake her. He stuck his head out the door and asked a bodyguard to come in and carry out their personal items, while he carried his bride.

Again, to protect Anna's identity, Hou Yi used a shawl to cover Anna's head, and as they moved to the elevators and then across the ground floor foyer, their bodyguards surrounded them. All anyone could see was their big boss, carrying a woman rumoured to be the lady boss out of the building. The women watching, could not believe how romantic he was being, and envied the lady boss. They wished that their boyfriends would be as wonderful, as Hou Yi was to her.

It was only when the car pulled up the apartment that Anna stirred, and made her way into the elevator on her own two feet. However, given that Hou Yi, had telephoned ahead as soon as they arrived in the apartment a light dinner was ready for them. As soon as they finished they retired to their suite, Anna changing and immediately falling to sleep. Hou Yi however did some further work remotely before changing and joining her.

Friday,

Anna stirred at the same time as Hou Yi in the morning, and she quickly got up and hurried into the shower so she could eat breakfast with him before he left for Hou Enterprises.

Hou Yi, however sprung a surprise on Anna, as they headed down stairs. "There is a charity dinner, which I had originally not intended to attend tonight. I am aware that Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin will be there, so it may be appropriate to attend. Not only would you make your public debut as my wife, but you could serve the court documents on Lu Jinhu. He would not be able to deny service given the public nature of the event."

"I am not sure."

"Anna, do not feel pressured, make your choice and I can deal with it. Remember, as I told you I am here to help and support you. I believe that you can cope with whatever tonight might throw at you. Plus I will arrange for my mother and aunt to come and help you get ready for tonight, so it can eliminate many problems. We will get back to a normal routine on Monday.."

"Thank you."

As Hou Yi was leaving, his mother and aunt arrived, promising to make sure his bride looked perfect for tonight.

Anna, for the whole day felt trapped in the whirlwind that was Du AnLing and Leng Xi, who filled the day not only with some shopping, but a visit to a day spa and hairdresser to make everything perfect for tonight. As they left Anna at 4pm to head home and finish getting ready themselves, all that she had to do was slip on the dress and shoes that they had selected for her.

Hou Yi, arrived home about 20 minutes after his mother and left, and came immediately into the suite. "How did it do today."

"I cannot keep up with those two. I knew they were power shoppers, but they kept me on the move constantly. We went from shopping, to a Day Spa and finally a hairdressers. While I am use to being busy, the way they approached today was out of my league. The dress they decided I need to wear is over there, so I am concerned about damaging it, I will get you to help me finish getting ready as we leave."

"Not a problem. Let me get ready, and I will help you. There are pre-dinner drinks at 6pm, followed by the dinner and charity auction from 7:30pm. We need to be gone at about 5pm, as it will take us, given Friday Night traffic around an hour to arrive at the venue. Assistant Wang has organised the documents you need to serve, and I will put them in my jacket pocket so they are not forgotten.

Hou Yi entered into the walk-in robe, selected his clothing and went into the bathroom to bathe and get ready. He came out 20 minutes later and helped Anna finish getting ready by zipping up her dress.

As Anna went to leave the suite, Hou Yi reached into his briefcase, that he had brought into the suite and extracted a jewellery box. Anna recognised that the box was from Fengs. On Hou Yi opening it, she saw two simple peices of jewellery, a pair of earrings and a pendant necklace, both with pink diamonds to match her wedding and engagement rings.

Before Anna could say anything, Hou Yi put his fingers over her lips as to silence her. She put the earrings in, and Hou Yi put on the necklace for her. The only other thing she added was their Pandora Bracelet. She knew that Lu Jinhu would get the subtle message that Anna and Hou Yi were giving with this.

They hurried downstairs and into the car to travel to the reception, leaving at 5:10pm and arriving as predicted 1 hour later. As they were on their way into the venue, Anna partially turned and immediately recognised Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin behind them. She ignored them and walked into the venue Hou Yi.

They each took a drink of champagne and drifted into a quiet space in the room, to everyone else there, apparently lost in each other, but carefully watching Yang Lin and Lu Jinhu, who had not spotted them. When Anna and Hou Yi saw that both Lu Jinhu and Yang LIn had their backs to them, they moved walking towards them, with Hou Yi handing Anna the documents he had taken from his jacket pocket.

Anna tapped Lu Jinhu on the shoulder, and as he turned around, he had an expression of shock on his face. Before he could do anything, Anna thrust at him all the documents she was required and said "Lu Jinhu, consider yourself served with the documents in accordance with the order made in this matter on Monday in Melbourne Australia."
