Offer To The CEO

387 Happy Birthday Triplets - Part 2

Saturday, continued …

Fourty minutes, Alecia and James stirred from their bed and James realised it was almost noon, leaving only an hour to get ready for the party.As he sat up he said "Alecia, we need to get moving, otherwise I could almost guarantee that we will have your father and others up here."

Alecia turned and looked up at James and said "But you could join me …"

"If I did that, we would be late.I would guess that the bag has your dress plus makeup and jewelry to wear, and that you will take some time to get ready.You better head in to shower first."James got out of the bed and picked up the bag Alecia had previously taken from him and carried it into the bathroom.

Alecia was disappointed that she would not convince her husband to change his mind, so she climbed out of the bed and walked over to where the hotel staff had previously put their light breakfast.On noticing orange juice she poured herself a glass, and quickly ate some fruit.

James walked over and gave her a kiss before taking the glass before gently pushing her towards the bathroom.When Alecia was in the bathroom, he was grateful he had taken Hou Yi\'s advice and kept another new suit to wear today, and located that and all his other items to head into the bathroom when Alecia was finished.While waiting he sat down and nibbled at the foot that had been brought in for them earlier.

Thirty minutes later Alecia exited the bathroom, and literally took James\' breath away with the dress she was wearing.While he wanted to do something about it he knew they only had twenty minutes before needing to head downstairs for the party.

As he exited the bathroom, Alecia was slipping on her shoes, and he saw that she had placed them for him to easily slip them on.

Taking the room key, they existed and went downstairs, where they found Yao Tan, Amanda Mei, Junior, Ton, Alecia\'s grandparents, Hou Yi and Anna all waiting for them.

Ton, angry that Alecia had kept them waiting, spat out "Why did you keep us waiting.Everyone will be here any minute."

There was stunned silence before Yao Tan sharply responded "Ton that was completely unacceptable.You need to grow up.Today is not just about you."

"Well it needs to be about us, given yesterday was about her."With than he pointed to Alecia."We were totally ignored.Now she will spoil this party."

Alecia had enough of Ton and to everyone but James walked over to her brother and gave him a light slap on his head."It is about the three of us, and we are also celebrating Dad\'s birthday in a couple of days.Grow up."

As she turned and walked away, James reached out and pulled her in for a hug.

Yao Tan decided that they better get inside the room before the situation deteriorated and he guests arrived, so between him and Amanda Mei, the each grabbed on of the boys and dragged them into the room with everyone else following behind.

Across the foyer, there was one interesting observer to the by-play between.CEO Lu observed the Yao girl, and how much he wished it was night again, so he could drag her away and have another repeat of six months ago.That little b*tch had been protected so much that he was unable to get her again, and continue what he had started in making a little w*ore out of her.

CEO Lu knew how stupid he had been previously in trusting that idiot of a son get and hand over the material to enable him to blackmail Yao Tan into handing over chunks of money and his business to protect his little girl.His son was refusing to had over anything other than a grainy image, and despite his searching he had not located the material which his ungrateful child was holding that over his head.

He needed that now to disrupt whatever that b*stard Hou Yi was doing, given he was close to Yao Tan.His shot at blackmailing Hou Yi failed now his only hope was Yao Tan, otherwise Lu Corporation would be in trouble.Despite the work of the company executives no one really understood, given how he kept control, that everything was a finely balanced act, which relied on the money and his other blackmail efforts.While the Entertainment Division made a profit it would not be enough to sustain Lu Corporation as everything else was basically break even at the moment, and the international investments would take time to return a good profit.
