Offer To The CEO

104 Heading to ANX

Monday

The next morning, Anna Jones awoke still so drained from everything that had happened while visiting her parents.

She really did not want to get up but remembered that there was a lot that had to be done today.She started to sit up, and realised that Hou Yi was still asleep beside her, but he had his arm around her.While it was comforting, and made her feel something she was not sure it was, she knew she needed to get up.

Anna tried to dislodge his arm but was unable to do so.Eventually she realised that she had no option and shook him to wake him up.It took her a few minutes to wake him up, but eventually he started to stir.Once he was partially awake, she pushed him as hard as she could to move away from him.

"You knew that I did not agree to you doing this, if there was no chance anyone would walk in on us."As she spoke, Anna's voice became more and more angry

"Anna, calm down.During the night you were so upset, you begged my to hold you.As soon as I did, you became calm and fell asleep.Each time I removed my arms, you became upset again, so in the end I just stopped trying to take my arms away."

"I do not believe you.You are lying."And with that Hou Yi realised that Anna was still very angry.

"Fine Anna, you may not consciously believe me, but subconsciously you know that this is the truth.However, you do not need this argument, so I will apologise for making you upset about this."

"You damn well better apologise to me."

"Anna. Calm down.I apologise for upset you."

"Fine.Just leave me alone"

"Anna, I will not leave you alone, I will simply give you the space you need presently.You need to remember what you agreed to in the long term regarding giving our relationship a chance.Go, get ready, and I will arrange for breakfast to be sent up.Is there anything that you specifically want?"Hou Yi paused, and when he got no response "OK I will order a selection for us.Take your time in getting ready."

With that Hou Yi got out of bed, picked up the mobile beside the bed, and switched off the alarm that he had set the night before.Anna realised that all he had on was a pair of boxed shorts."Hou Yi, put something on." And with that Anna turned her head and buried it in a pillow.While she was embarrassed, Anna realised that Hou Yi's body was ... yummy was the only word to describe it.Lu Jihnu's body was nothing compared to it.

"Anna, calm down.I think the better option will be for me to shower now, and they when you are ready you can get ready, and then I will order breakfast."With that Hou Yi walked over to the wardrobe, and took out a suit, shirt and underwear and walked into the bathroom, having his shower and getting ready for the day.About 10 minutes later, when left the bathroom, he noticed that Anna had drifted back to sleep.He figured that given how bad she had slept the night before, he would let her sleep for another half hour or so, before waking her.

He walked into the study area of the suite, and obtained her laptop bag, the paperwork she collected on Friday, and his briefcase.He slipped out his laptop from the briefcase and started to read through the reports that had been sent to him, keeping an eye on the time.When 30 minutes passed, he stood up, and placed his laptop down.He went back into the bedroom, and woke Anna, shaking her gently "Anna, time to get up.You need to get ready, so we can go and deal with things."

Anna awoke with a start and realised that she had fallen back to sleep."Fine, now get out and let me get ready."

Hou Yi turned around, realising that Anna was unhappy at being woken, and left the bedroom.He called and ordered breakfast for the two of them and called the bodyguards for them to arrange for the car in about 30 minutes to take them to ANX Lawyers.He picked up his laptop and continued to read the reports, until there was a knock on his door.He closed the laptop down, and answer the door, which was the hotel staff with breakfast.They brought this in and set in on the table for them and left.2 minutes later Anna walked from the bedroom, having changed into somewhat business attire for the day ahead.

Hou Yi urged Anna to sit down, and they both quietly ate breakfast, and finished getting ready.As they left the suite, the bodyguards came to them, and escorted them down stairs, where they entered the car and were driven towards ANX Lawyers.Hou Yi glanced over at Anna and realised that she was tensing up.He turned and said "Everything will be OK.Just tell them the bare minimum, but if you need me to speak, I will.OK."

Anna turned and looked at him and realised that all Hou Yi was trying to keep her calm.She had a small smile and said "OK."With that Hou Yi took Anna's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze which made her realise that she was not going to go through this day alone.With that they simply sat quietly until they arrived at the building where ANX Lawyers offices were located.One of the bodyguards opened the door, and helped Anna get out of the car, and Hou Yi exited after her.

The bodyguards escorted the two of them up to the offices, one carrying Anna's Laptop and the paperwork she had, and another carrying Hou Yi's briefcase.They soon found themselves in the lift and going up to reception.Firstly, Anna stepped out, and the receptionist immediately recognised her, and responded "Miss Jones, I thought you were on leave for a couple of more weeks."
