Offer to the CEO

Saturday, continued...

Anna having already cleared customs and her bodyguards were awaiting in the arrivals hall of Hong Kong International Airport for Hannah and Pippa to arrive with their dance school. She was excited to see them again and even having to play parent for a week.

With that though all Anna could do was touch her stomach gently realising that in around seven months she and Yi would be welcoming the first members of their expanding family. If someone had told her six months ago that she would be looking forward to the birth of twins with her husband, she would have laughed at them and telling them they were crazy. Her career was, then the most important thing to her.

How dramatically things had changed because of Lu Jinhu dumping her at the altar. While she felt hurt when that happened, it was pure luck and a chance meeting that she had what she had. She loved her husband and the depth of the feelings she had for Hou Yi was something that she thought only happened in the romances novels she had read. From her relationship with Hou Yi she knew the truth, the depth of feelings could happen, and it had happened to her.

Before she could get further lost in her thoughts and how much she missed having her beloved with her she was tapped on the shoulder by one of the bodyguards, "Madam Hou, the guard with Miss Pippa and Miss Hannah, has called and let us know that the dance school should only be a few minutes before they are here. He also said that there was a surprise with them for you as well."

"Did they tell you what the surprise was?"

"Madam all that was said is that you would know the surprise when you see it."

Watching the door that she was told the group would come out from, she started to see a large group of that were obviously Australians exit. It only took about ten people to come out before Anna saw Pippa and Hannah running towards her with the bodyguard who accompanied them trailing behind. One of the guards who accompanied Anna, grabbed the luggage trolley and the girls were yelling "Aunty Anna, Aunty Anna."

Anna seeing how quickly they were running towards her quickly figured out that they would throw themselves into her arms, she crouched down with her arms wide open which both Hannah and Pippa ran into for a hug.

As she pulled back, Pippa said "Aunty Anna you would not believe what happened. Aunty Alecia …"

For some reason with the mention of Alecia's name Anna looked up and saw Alecia exiting the same door that Hannah and Pippa had pushing a trolley herself. So this was the surprise, and damn Hou Yi knew about it, hence why he wanted her to call him. As the bodyguards surrounding Anna, Hannah and Pippa realised that the person coming towards them was Alecia, they made space for her to go to Anna.

As Anna gave Alecia a brief hug, all she could say is "Why are you …"

"...here? The first weekend in Australia, I accompanied the girls to their practice for the tour. Watching them, I was able to pick up several mistakes they made and was helping them correct their steps. Once the teachers realised what I was doing, they asked about my dance background. As I told them I had taken lessons until the start of December last year, and they were happy for some help. A couple of weeks ago one of the older girls fell and broke her arm and they needed a replacement. So, can you guess who volunteered me?

"My bratty little brother?"

"No, my loving husband. He suggested that I should help and along with the girls pleading, it was enough to convince me. It has been fun for a couple of weeks dancing again. More importantly as he must do one more week of night duty, which worried both of us with me being alone, me coming away means he can do this without either of us being concerned. "

"When we were on the flight over one of the teachers told me that they were grateful that I agreed to participate as the girls may not have been able to dance in the Disneyland Parade as of a lack of numbers. Before you say anything, the bodyguards who accompanied us are the ones Dad sent out with me. They were due to swap over next week, to the new guards will come here and return to Australia with us."

"You should have let me know you were coming."

"Well, Uncle Yi did …"

Having her guess confirmed Anna responded "I will kill him."
