Offer To The CEO

As Hou Yi turned to Leave, Anna called out "Yi, can we talk?"

As he turned with a smile on his face Hou YI responded, "What Sweetheart?"

"Come into my office . " With that the two of them entered Anna"s office and sat down on the couch .

"Yi, I had this thought about the press conference regarding Du XuXu this afternoon . My only connection to the whole situation is that I am married to you . I do not have the emotional investment like everyone else, and therefore I can be dispa.s.sionate about the situation . It is going to be all about the evidence presented and public speaking, which are my forte . All we would have to do is work out a pre-prepared speech . "

"Anna, I could not ask you to do that," came Hou YI"s quiet response .

"Yi you are not, I am offering . You know that I am not as fragile as I was . When we married," and with that Anna lent over and gave him a brief kiss, and then paused, simply watching his expression .

Anna, after a few seconds continued "When we married, I was a shattered person with everything Lu JInhu had done to me . With your support, and more importantly your love, which I did not realise was there until this morning in five short weeks, I have been able to break completely from that toxic relations.h.i.+p, confront and recognise what happened to me . "

"Phillipa and I had numerous discussions about how I was dealing with my feelings and the whole situation . As she explained it to me, unlike most victims my psychological make-up, education and work background has allowed me since admitting what happened to process and deal with much of the hurt very quickly . While I will never escape it completely, I am able to lead a normal life, and deal with challenges that are thrown at me . "

"Most importantly, and you need to understand this . Yi, you are the reason that I am at a point that I can cope . You let me deal with it rather than trying to force me down a path . Now I want to do something for you . This I can do . I can lay out the events and facts for the media, explain the science and other material . I often had to do this for clients, so I can do this for you . "

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely sure . Now do not argue with your pregnant wife . Now you need to get to your office, but before you go, I want a kiss, and promise me you will send me all the electronic files with all the information, including your travel history . "

Hou Yi, could not believe in such a short s.p.a.ce of time, how firm and certain his wife had become, and more importantly how little she gave a care about what people saw . He moved closer to her on the couch, and lent over Anna, starting to kiss her .

Hou Yi wanted to give her a tender kiss, but that was not what his wife wanted . Using her tongue she deepened the kiss very quickly, which made it almost impossible for him to break away from . After a few minutes he eventually and reluctantly pulled away, noticing in just a few minutes, that his wife had loosened his tie, and pulled his s.h.i.+rt from hit pants .

"Anna, this is dangerous . We could …" Hou Yi moved away from Anna, he heard a groan that clearly indicated how frustrated she was, and as he spoke, he noticed that she was disappointed in what happened .

"We could …"

"Anna, I love you, but as you reminded me I need to go . I promise that I will email you the doc.u.ments and see you at lunch time . "

Before anything else could happen Hou Yi pulled himself back together, and reluctantly left his wife"s office . He noticed that he was being watched as he left Anna"s office and moved to the elevator to go to his office .

Anna simply stayed sitting in her office, distracted . All she could think about was spending time with her husband, and how soon it was until they could be alone . She needed that time, simply to bask in their feelings .

That made her think about this morning and their confessions to each other, and she remained distracted until she heard a knock on the door and looked up . When she shook out of her thoughts, she noticed Amanda standing at the door with a huge smile on her face .

"I thought Tan and I were shocking, but you two take the cake . "
