"What!" said a stunned Melissa, while Jessica dropped the gla.s.s in her hand and Sally's mouth was just opened with nothing coming out .

James moved behind Alecia, and wrapped his arms around her while she said "No we are not kidding . We obtained our marriage certificate yesterday . "

"And your dad agreed?" Continued Melissa

"He did, after some discussions . "

James looked at Alecia's friends and could see that they wanted to talk in depth with her, so he bent down and quietly whispered "Sweetheart, your friends look like they want to talk to you further, but without me . "

Alecia turned in his arms and whispered, "But I do not care . . . "

"But remember where we are going tonight . " With that James lent down and gave Alecia a brief kiss before moving away towards Anna .

"Alecia he is so sweet . d.a.m.n, we all wish we met him first . " Immediately said Sally

"So girl, when are you going to take him out with us?" followed up Jessica

"After we all finish exams?" then came in Melissa

"Sorry guys I will not be here . James and I are heading to Australia . He has a few months to finish his degree and then we are returning, and I am going to take up a position in XF International, and go to university myself . "

"You are meant to have fun . You know we all promised each other that we would do that when we finished . "

"My life changed the day I met James, and to be truthful I do not regret any change . "

Meanwhile

James walked towards Anna and he could observe the closer he got the more she was tensing up . She had spotted CEO Lu looking in from outside, staring alternatively at her and Alecia . Rather than immediately saying something he turned around and started to scan the room to locate him brother -in-law . When he eventually spotted Hou Yi, he and Yao Tan were talking to a number of other gentlemen . James changed direction and headed over towards them, and despite not understanding what was being said guessed they were talking about business .

As he arrived at the group he tapped Hou Yi on his shoulder . Once he finished speaking, he turned and noticed it was James . James quietly said "Anna has noticed . . . "

As soon as Hou Yi heard Anna's name he turned towards his wife, and observed Anna staring at the balcony doors and had spotted CEO Lu . This time, rather than getting the security to move him out of site, he was going to take action . He tapped Yan Tan on his shoulder and as he turned around, Yao Tan also noticed who was looking in . Hou Yi said quietly "Let us handle it . "

With that Hou Yi and James turned away and James followed Hou Yi out the reception room door, and into the foyer before exiting the door into the gardens and walking along the balcony towards the CEO Lu . Hou Yi noticed how focused he was on looking inside the room rather than paying attention to who was outside with him .

Hou Yi stopped James and quietly said "I will go one side and if you can go the other side . "

"Not a problem . I saw him not only looking at Anna, but he was staring at my wife again . "

"Not a problem . "

James slowly walked behind Hou YI who walked around pa.s.sed CEO Lu and to his other side . When he was in position Hou Yi, tapped CEO Lu on the shoulder, and with a start he turned around and as soon as he saw it was Hou Yi he started to take a couple of steps backwards, and backed into James, and turned with a scowl on his face and looked at James .

James decided to play dumb, and said "I did not realise people here were so rude as to stare at people and not use any manners when they back into people . "

"Get the f*ck out of my way . "

"I do not feel like it, and I think the gentleman here has something to say to you . "

James looked over at Hou YI and realised how he was loving this unsettling of this b*stard . This was fun and when Hou Yi finished he decided he would have a little fun to .

"Why would I talk to him . "

"I saw you so fascinated by his wife and G.o.ddaughter in there that I figured that you had something to say . "
