Offer to the CEO

Friday, continued …

Alecia looked directly at James, knowing that she needed to calm James down. "Do not worry, they all love me and want me to be happy. You do that, and that is what will matter.  Just be ready for the grilling that they will give you before they realise that."

"If you are certain. By the way, Yi suggested that we all go in the one car, and I said yes. When he and Anna are ready, they will call and come on down."

Alecia was a little annoyed, as that meant that they had to race to get ready. "James, you should have said something. You better use the bathroom attached to one of the spare rooms so we will not be late."

James looked at Alecia with pleading eyes as he wanted to shower with her.  The look she gave him made him realise that that was the last thing she would agree to, given the desire she had to be on time.

Forty-five minutes later James received a call from Hou Yi, and he quickly indicated that they would meet them downstairs in five minutes for them to head out for dinner. As he ended the call James called out "Alecia, come on we need to get going. I told Yi we would meet him and Anna downstairs in five minutes."

"Coming James." As Alecia walked out of their room James realised that the more casual clothes that she had suggested were appropriate were fine. He was just grateful that this was family and friends tonight, as Alecia looked cute in her clothes and he knew that when they finally arrived home they would come off as quickly as he could manage it.  He could still not realise that Alecia had married him, and that he still could not get enough of her. Taking her hand, James gave it a brief kiss as they headed downstairs.

As they exited the elevator, Hou Yi and Anna exited another elevator, and James decided that he could not wait to tease her a little. "Looking good darling sister" was his quick response in a sweet sing song voice.

Anna immediately realised that James was in a mood to make fun of her all-night, and she was going to hit that on the head as soon as possible "Bite me James, I do not need you being like this tonight."

"Sis, I though biting you was Yi's job, not mine."

"You twit," responded Anna laughing. Thank goodness she thought that James still had his same sense of humour. She needed his joking around at times, simply to keep her sane and grounded. Yi never really wanted to stir her up and gave in so easily to her. James at least knew her games and would never let her get away with being totally stupid and crazy, despite how she was feeling.

Alecia, however moved in and gave Anna a brief Kiss, before quietly saying "Uncle Yi, Anna, let us get going. The last thing I want is to be late as apparently Mama and Papa are going all out for this."

"Alecia, why in the world are we going there, when we could have …"

"Uncle Yi, you know I love going there for a meal. It is home as much as dad's apartment is, and our apartment is. I just want to be comfortable when I introduce James to everyone…"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.readwn.com for visiting.

"Hopefully King will not decide that we all have to go the back way to their, for want of a better term 'club'."

"Yi, damn it do not mention that place, the first time they took me there, was when I was on crutches, and they carried my part of the way while taking me through alleys," came Anna, remembering the first time she met them.

"Anna, they only do that to people they care for. Most people are forced into their building through the almost clinical business entrance. Feel privileged. I remember my first time when they took Junior, Ton and I there when we were about 6 years old. Snake had been roped into baby sit us while Dad was doing a University Exam. We were all so scared, but the boys soon thought it was a fun game."

As they continued talking, everyone climbed into the car, and they were driven towards Mama and Papa's restaurant. On their arrival they were shown into a private room, where Snake, Lion, Shark, Tan, Amanda, Ton, Sally and Junior were waiting. Alecia, spotting Snake, ran over and threw herself into his arms calling out "Uncle Snake…"

"Damn it princess, calm down." With that Snake carefully moved her away to look at her. "You seem so much happier than the last time I saw you."
