"Yes, Mr . Wong, that is Mr . Chou or someone calling from his personal phone at his office . I doubt it"s not the man himself . He needs to maintain client confidentiality sir . "
He rolled his eyes as the old man"s chipper tone came through again . It wasn"t a pleasant conversation as the man was bragging about all the fail safes he had thought of instead of Henry . Henry was grateful that he had not straight had the old man raise his voice like he was a child, but the mocking undertone to his voice was evident as he spoke on the subject . He could imagine the old man pinching the bridge of his nose while there were papers splayed across his desk . Henry was grateful though that Chou was not blaming him for having a marriage off the cuff while reminding Henry that he was protected .

"It"s such a shame that you"re not considering to try to make it work instead of leaving her so quickly . I will however have to speak with a couple of my colleges about dissolving the religious aspect of your marriage . I need to have a lawyer to specializes in that type of lawyer . " Chou"s voice was hesitant as he continued . "I"m not really in familiar territory here so please take this advice with a grain of salt . But from what I remember with the little bits and bobs that I have heard from colleagues, the New York Law on this is that this situation is delicate . If you do decide to try this method, Mr . Wong, I"m afraid it will have to be seen that you and Ms . Chen have been married for a while . You"re also going to need to have a doctor say that the problem is something that cannot be resolved . Remember too sir, that once this process has become, the actual annulment will take a bit to get through . It might take up to six months, since you have no other people to have a say in this matter . "
Henry relaxed into his chair as the words served to calm him . It was amazing to think in six months it would be as if this had never happened . This was fantastic news . He could become a reputed bachelor again . Henry could be with anyone which whom he wanted . It was a bit of nuisance to both himself and Ellie, but it was better than longer . "I really appreciate you telling me this Mr . Chou . This has brought me much relief in a time of great stress . "
The voice on the opposite line grew serious as Mr . Chou said, "I wish you could relax, but it would be wise if you start to prepare for the future . If you do go through with this path, you would be unattached to Ms . Chen, but you could get into a lawsuit with your relatives over your inheritance with the stipulation that you were not married at all . This would mean that you would lose the company on the claim that you did not stick to the words of your father in his will . "
