30 M Mall - Part 1
After advising Assistant Wang to park the vehicle, get him the keys and return to the office to complete the final task he will message to him, Hou Yi escorted Anna Jones towards a door, and pressed the buzzer next to it. They were asked "M Mall VIP Service, how can I help you?"
"It is Hou Yi. I have an appointment..."
"Apologies CEO Hou, please come in immediately. The personal shopper assigned to you has momentarily had to step out, but could you please take a seat upon entry and she will be with you as soon as possible."With that a buzzer sounded and the door opened to let them. Anna notice that they had entered a lounge area, and Hou Yi escorted Anna to a couch that would be big enough for the two of them to sit side by side.
Just as they sat down, in arrived a young woman, "Hello CEO Hou. People call me Sadie, and I am the personal shopper assigned to you and your guest. If you would follow me, I will do what I need to help fulfil your requests as soon as possible."With that Hou Yi and Anna stood up, and followed Sadie down a corridor, into a light lemon colour painted walls, with mirrors and a dais at one end of the room, with apparently a changing area behind it, and a couch and a couple chairs at the other end.
As soon as Sadie had closed the door behind them, she manoeuvred herself between Hou Yi and Anna. Hou Yi, was immediately disgusted at the personal shopper's attitude, and her treatment of Anna. She did not need to be treated as worthless, and dismissed. He realised that he needed to immediately establish Anna's importance, otherwise this woman and others like her would seek to bully her.
Anna, noticed the fleeting look of disgust that passed across Hou Yi's face, and realised that he was angry about the the personal shopper's actions. Anna, given what had already happened today was determined that no one else was going to try to dismiss and bully her today. She paused and realised that she could deal with this flirty woman quickly.
Hou Yi started "Ms Sadie, could you ..." and stopped what he was saying
As Hou Yi commenced speaking, Anna pushed around Sadie, and threw herself into Hou Yi's arms.
She then gave him a brief kiss, and upon breaking the kiss, said in a coy voice "Honey, do we really need to be here, there are better things that we could be doing ...."
As soon as Anna kissed him, Hou Yi realised she was trying to send a message, however he realised that her subtle message and hints would not achieve much, most likely all that it would do is establish that she was his mistress. He did not want that. Anna needed to immediately to be established as his wife, so she was treated with respect. He leaned in and gave her a quick hard kiss and turned her in his arms, so he was hugging her, slightly turned her head and looked at her, bending his head down slightly.
In a loud whisper that as such that Sadie could her, but they could pretend she was not meant to hear, Hou Yi said "Sweetheart, today we received our wedding certificate, and tonight I am taking you to meet my family. All I want to do today is to buy you a dress you can wear to meet my family, maybe a change or two of clothes, and most importantly something for tonight ..." and with that he bent down briefly and gave her another quick hiss, then continued "and we can come back together or you can come back another day to purchase more clothes, when you are ready and have time."ƒ𝔯e𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝓃oѵℯl - 🅽🅽novel
Anna, having realised what he was doing, blushed at what he was implying, and turned in his arms to put her back to Sadie. Looking up at him "Yi, we are not alone. Let us get this over and go home."With that she slightly pulled herself up towards him and pulled his head down for a kiss.
Meanwhile, Sadie was in a state of disbelief with what she heard. Her job ensured that she interacted with the elites in City T and therefore was privy to much of their gossip, from wives and their friends, mistresses and the men who accompany their wives and/or mistresses to buy clothes. , because unless the men were looking for a new mistress, people like her were simply dismissed as part of the furniture. The gossip surrounding Hou Yi either questioned his sexuality, or focused on him seeking a love match. Sadie preferred to believe the latter, as men like Hou Yi ultimately married for duty, but took mistresses and she was determined that she would become the mistress of the most powerful man in City T leaving this behind, and getting everything she wanted. Using her charm in the past had gotten her what she desired, particularly when directed to other men looking for a new mistress. This let her not only build up some savings but gather a wardrobe filled with designer shoes and clothes, but which now were out of date.
Hou Yi's statement that he had married the woman in his arms, without any rumours about her or a wedding, shattered her dreams of securing him as a lover and eventually convincing him to marry her. It also made her fearful, because of what she tried before she knew that they were married. All it would take is a few words from either of them that she had offended them, and her ability to become someone's mistress to maintain her lifestyle and keep her job would be gone. She realised that she needed to simply get on with her job, get these two out of here, and try and establish herself as a mistress of one of the men that had come earlier today and while their mistresses were changing offered to make her their mistress, before this disaster was known, and those offers would be withdrawn. Maybe one of the unmarried younger ones that she could convince after a few months to marry her.
Sadie realised that she could not dwell on what had happened, she needed to be professional, to save her job at the moment. She knew that she could play it that she did not realise who the woman was and get out of this without too many problems.
"Pardon me, CEO Hou, did I hear you right, and this is your wife Madam Hou?"
