Offer To The CEO

89 An Office Problem

Friday, continued ...

Just as Anna Jones hung up from Hou Yi about their changed arrangements, Assistant Wang entered the room shutting the door."Madam Hou, I just received a message from CEO Hou's chief bodyguard.CEO Hou will not make it back in time."

"Assistant Wang, that is OK.I was just speaking to Yi, and he told me the same thing.Have you those translated documents?"

"Here they are Madam, along with those last documents you provided me and the documents I scanned for you this morning.A car with your bodyguard in it is downstairs.Madam, please be careful there are some rumours about the building about you.I have tried to stop them, but without luck.If there is any issue, press the star and hash keys on your mobile down for 5 seconds, it is an alarm on your phone.Good Luck while you are away and see you when you return."

"You are not coming?"

"No Madam, CEO Hou has indicated that this is a personal trip that might have a little business mixed in.I am to stay here and keep an eye on the business."

Anna left Hou Yi's office and walked towards the elevators.As she arrived, a couple of woman, came out of offices, and stood behind her.One said, "Who does that b**th think she is, waltzing into CEO Hou's office when she likes.She has no right to."Anna thought I absolutely have the right to go in.Just you wait.

The sarcastic response was "Well she must think she is Madam Hou, the Lady Boss of the company."Anna, thought then was, how correct you are.

"Well, CEO Hou is still looking so his wife."With that Anna, really wanted to say I am his wife, but she knew that it was not the time to say anything.

"Given Miss Yang, married someone else today, both of us have a shot, that woman would not even get anywhere."Anna grinned to herself, how little do you know.Just as the doors were opening on an elevator, Anna was pushed from behind, causing her to fall into a man getting out of the elevator, who became irate at this.

Anna, carefully picked herself up off the ground.She turned to man and said "I apologise, I was accidentally bumped and fell."

"Do not blame your clumsiness on anyone else.You did that deliberately to try and humiliate me.Apologise for that."

"I have already apologised for the situation."

"No you have not.Well it looks like the only way I am going to get my proper apology is do deal with you.You could only be here because you are staff.Who is your supervisor?"

"No one, I am simply working here to aid Hou Enterprises deal with an issue in Australia.CEO Hou knows all about the matter."

"Well then, I will have CEO Hou have you apologise to me, and you fired, and charged."With that he grabbed Anna by the arm, and started to pull her along the corridor.

Assistant Wang, having seen what happened, immediately called CEO Hou, and ask him to return to the office.He ran down the corridor, and said "Vice-CEO Ji, can you please let the lady go.I let CEO Hou know what happened, and he has said he will be here in about 30 minutes to deal with the situation.I will take her into my office, and feel free to return to your office.As soon as CEO Hou is ready for you, I will call you."

Assistant Wang, escorted Anna back to Hou Yi's office. "Madam Hou, CEO Hou has suggested to go and relax in his office, and he will deal with this when he gets back.Do you need anything to drink?"

"Something cold will be fine"

"You will find some in the fridge, near the couch Madam Hou."

Assistant Wang exited Hou Yi's office, and Anna just fell onto the couch, staring off into the distance, thinking about what she had to tell Hou Yi.She was only diverted from that thought, when Hou Yi walked into the office, and came over and sat by her."Anna, what happened?"

"I was standing at the elevators waiting to go down to get into the car to meet you at the airport.Two women were talking behind me, effectively calling me nothing.As the elevator door opened I was pushed in the back into a person Assistant Wang called Vice-CEO Ji.Despite my apology for the accident, Vice-CEO Ji demanded I apologise for deliberately doing what I had done, which I refused.When I also refused to provide my supervisors name so he could speak to them, he then demanded you had to deal with me.I got the impression he wants you to dismiss me, and have me charged."

"The idiot.Let me deal with him for you."

Anna started shaking, and Hou Yi gathered her in his arms.Less than a minute later, the door opened, and they heard "CEO Hou, I need to talk to..."
