86 Friday on my Mind - Part 1
Friday
Anna Jones awoke and found herself in Hou Yi's arms. He was only starting to wake up himself.
"How in the world did I get here, and what did you do."
"Calm down Anna, you fell asleep in my sitting room at the office yesterday, so I carried you down to the car. You would not awake when we arrived home, so I carried you up here and changed you. You had a disturbed nights sleep, despite sleeping through the night. It was as if someone was hurting you in your dreams. Do not worry, you are safe here."
Before Anna could say anything, there was a knock on the door, and a maid called out "Young Master, Young Madam, Butler Ge has asked me to let you know it is 7am."
With that Hou Yi, climbed out of bed, and said to Anna "Get into the shower. I will find something for you to wear today, plus your 'wife' outfit, and those few extra items we talked about. While you are getting ready I will have my shower. We might be sociable today and have breakfast downstairs. And do not worry your laptop and that was locked in my study last night so it is safe."
Within 25 minutes both Anna and Hou Yi were ready and walked downstairs. Then went into the small dining room, and quickly breakfast was brought in to them.
Hou Yi spoke to Butler Ge "As my wife and I have to travel to Australia for about a week, we need staff to pack for us. If you need cases for my wife, arrange for them to be purchased. Make sure there is a day bag for each of us that has sleepwear and a change in clothes, and remind the plane staff it needs to be in cabin. Send the bags to the plane and ensure the items my wife set aside for gifts are also sent to the plane. If there is a query, contact her through Assistant Wang, and she can inform you what has to be sent. We will leave directly from the office tonight."
"Not a problem Young Master. Both have a good trip and we will see you on your return."
Once they finished breakfast, both Anna and Hou Yi finished getting ready for the day. Anna remembered that she needed to arrange for their Marriage Certificate and the Household registers to be formally translated "Yi, I need to today, arrange for formal certified translations of our Marriage Certificate and the Household Registers. How can it get that done?"
"Anna, I will consult the in house team, and arrange for someone qualified to do so for legal matters today."
Hou Yi paused, and continued "Hopefully there will be no issues in the legal department without Supervisor An, who has been charged, but let me know if there is any. I've cleared me schedule for you between 12 and 2, and again at 4. Once we have finished, your bodyguard will take you to the plane, while I put in an appearance at the Wedding Ceremony for Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, rubbing in their faces my wedding ring."
"OK."With that they both went down in the elevators, into their respective cars and were driven to Hou Enterprises. Both arrived about 20 minutes later.
Anna had a much easier path to the Legal department, compared to Thursday. Lawyers Deng, Mei and Bai fired questions at her asking did she know what happened with Supervisor An given she was not there.
Anna indicated said "I was in the CEO's office yesterday, when Supervisor An was arrested, for selling company secrets to a competitor. I know no more, but I am guessing that you will not have a supervisor for a bit of time until someone is put into the position."Quietly, she hoped that the office rumour mill would get the message around to all the spies, that you will be found out.
With that Anna walked straight into the same office as yesterday and commenced her work for the day. After logging into the CEO Intranet, she logged into the ANX cloud based systems, and found an email from Alfred.
'Anna. Thanks. I will protect the affidavit material. Just get in on Monday when you can. I asked around the office, and everyone agrees it is not your signature. I will select 10 people to do affidavits to this. I will draft and settle those simple affidavits today. We will need and affidavit from your husband. I will draft it based on your draft material, and I will have him confirm when you advised him about the domestic violence. See you Monday. Alfred'
She sent a quick reply 'Alfred. Thanks. See you Monday. As to telling Yi, I am actually going to do that on our flight back to Australia. Anna'
She also checked in the scan from last night and emailed that through as well.
