Offer To The CEO

200 Firing Back - Part 6

Wednesday, continued …

"Not a problem.As to your personal release while I have drafted it, but in considering the situation, it will be seen as tit-for-tat.The Company's release provides information that is required to be disclosed and condemns violence against women.If we have a release from you today, it will simply get lost, as companies are firing out press releases."

"I would suggest releasing it tomorrow or Friday, making it more pointed, and be seen that you are less involved in the company's release.It works as Madam Hou has been unconscious and is in hospital, so a press release form you should be the last thing you are worried about.I have a plan, but at present it is not drafted.Once done I will have Assistant Wang can email it to you for your review.What I need to do is clarify the details to be put in."

"OK" came Hou YI and Anna at the same time.

"It needs to detail the assault last night.From what I understand Lu Jinhu was telling a friend that, you Madam Hou were manipulative, threatening, a thief, accused you of duping CEO Hou, could not see the truth for anything, and that people who know him know that he would not do what is claimed.There was a mention of an incident at the Key Plaza Hotel two weeks ago."

"From what I understand you confronted him over his lies, and verbal abuse of Madam Hou ensured.This ended in Yang Lin slapping and Lu Jinhu punching Madam Hou.Somewhere in there it was revealed that Yang Lin was 2 months pregnant.I am aware of some of the violence that was directed at you Madam Hou by Lu Jinhu, and will incorporate that into the release."

"Additionally I understand there were threats that they would ruin Hou Enterprises if you CEO Hou continued your relationship with Madam Hou.CEO Hou, you also made a comment about Lu Jinhu being found out for the abuser that he actually was.I can work all that into a press release.Can you tell me what happened, to land you in hospital Madam Hou."

"With respect to that," started Hou Yi looking directly at Anna "All we want to say is that the events that led to my wife's hospitalisation are being investigated, and we will not comment further."

Anna nodded and then said "but add that I have concussion and a broken Tibia and Fibula, hence why I am in hospital."

"And make sure that the press release clearly stresses the violence directed by Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin to my wife.Enough is enough, and they will not get away with it.Once you have drafted it, we need to review it.However Assistant Wang, I need you to retrieve from my study at home my wife and my laptops, and our phone charges.Also have Butler Ge, pack clothes for both of us, as I am going to remain at the hospital with my wife, for a few days."

"Yes Sir."

With that Hou Yi ended the call and shut his phone.With that he simply gathered Anna in his arms, as best he could in the circumstances.They both simply sat there, relaxing and taking in each other's presence.

For Anna, being in Hou Yi's arms reminded her of, just this morning.How wonderful she felt, and how she felt about the man who had his arms around her.How much she realised that what she ever thought she felt for Lu Jinhu was tepid.

It was nothing compared to how Hou Yi made her feel.However, given how their relationship started, she knew that she could not tell him.He needed to give some signal to each her that he wanted more than just a s*xual relationship, he wanted a full relationship like he hinted on the day they married.

To Hou Yi, having his wife in his arms was a magical.He knew even 16 days ago, having the love of his life in his arms, having a s*xual relationship with her, building a marriage was only a dream.He did not know where she was, what she was doing.

The twists in their lives that brought her to him, he did not know who to thank, but whoever it was he owed them everything.The only things that would make his life more complete was his wife admitting her feelings, their relationship growing and becoming all he wanted, and children at some time in the future, the total expression of their love.

Both of them were lost in their thoughts and did not realise that a nurse opened the door to check on Anna.As soon as she saw the scene, she realised that this was a couple deeply in love with each other.She quietly shut the door and left them alone, as she did not need to do Anna's observations for another 30 minutes.All she was grateful for was that Anna was too sore from her injuries, otherwise who would know what she would have walked in on.
