Offer to the CEO

Sunday, continued …

"Yi,…."

Hou Yi Handed the design to his mother.As soon as she glanced at it she knew he was right in his assessment."Anna despite my son knowing little about fashion he is right.It is perfect for you."Du AnLing turned to Rebecca "Rebecca, thank you for bringing us here, you do not know how much of a treasure you have here."

"First Madam Hou, you know that stores like this have to be quality here at M Mall."

"That does not matter, you brought us to the right store."

Leng Xi looked over her sister-in-law shoulder and realised the same thing."She is not kidding Rebecca, this place is amazing.Thank you."

Anna, turned to the bridesmaid dress design and determined they would easily suit anyone with minor adaptions given thier simple classic design, and the colour of the dress would not matter.Each bridesmaid could have a colour that suited them, without ruining the bridal party's look, let alone outshining the bride.

Before Anna could say anything, she heard a voice from behind her "Anna, you invite me to come shopping and you start without me."

Anna half twisted and spoke "Amanda, get yourself in here."

As Hou Yi turned he noticed who was with Amanda.It was not a surprise to him, given how close Amanda Mei had become to him and the triplets over the years "Yao Tan, get here my friend, you need to help me here."

"Yi, your wife seems to need you here, so I will come and rescue you a bit later."

Anna, turned to Hou Yi, "You need to get measured for your suit.And do not try to go anywhere CEO Yao, as I suspect my husband will want you to be a groomsman at our formal wedding, so you need to get measured for a suit as well."

"Anna …" came an almost whine from Hou YI

"Yi, do not Anna me.You told me that I could have whatever I wanted for my formal wedding, so…"

Hou Yi took one look at his wife and knewunless he gave her what she wanted the rest of his day would be hellgiven his mother and aunt's presence."OK, sweetheart."

Hou Yi then leaned over to Yao Tan and said "We should do what she wants to escape my mother and aunt, given they are shopaholics."

Hou Yi noticed Yao Tan shaking slightly"Do you know what your mother and aunt have done with my mother in the last couple of weeks, that gets her bodyguards scared almost all the time?"

"Taken her to tourist markets and nearby markets, and tailor shops."

"How did you know?"

"You can blame my wife, she introduced them to it.However I am not complaining.While they shop more than they have since I limited their spending in the almost four weeks since I married they have spent no where near their monthly maximum amount."

"There is that.My mother's spending is down to a third of its normal amount in two weeks."

"Come on, let us jest get this over with, so we can get out of here, and have some fun"

Hou Yi walked over to the curtain area where James, Rebecca and Rosemary had gone through with the kids, and asked "We were just wondering …?"

The Tailor immediately came out "CEO Hou I was about to come and get you.I have finished taking the measurements for your brother-in-law and the young boys.I just need to do your measurement."

He signaled to Yao Tan to follow him, and they went in, "This is my good friend who will be one of my groomsman, Yao Tan."

"CEO Yao …" stuttered the tailor.He took a deep breath and said "CEO Hou, I was going to ask you what colour vests do you want with the suits for everyone?"

"Knowing my wife, she will have multi-colour but the same design in the dresses for her bridesmaids, how about a light silver, not to overpowering, but with …"

"Something else in the undertones.I have the exact material in mind.Do you know what sort of suits you want?"

Hou Yi and Yao Tan looked at each other, and realised that they were both as confused as the other.The tailor saw the look and determined that despite being great businessmen, for people so young, they had no idea about clothes.

"CEO Hou and Yao, let me show you.The two main popular options are morning suits," and with that he pointed to a photograph so they could an idea, "or a a lounge suit, which is much more what you would wear to work."

They looked at each other and said "Lounge suit" almost in unison.
