Just after 11am, Hou Enterprises.

Anna made her way across the foyer of Hou Enterprises in the company of three bodyguards, and took an elevator up to the top Level. One bodyguard was being nice and carrying her laptop and hand bag for her. As the Elevator arrived on the top Level, Hou Yi was standing there with a four other executives.

Given the arrival of the boss lady none of them were surprised that the boss was sidetracked, and they quietly entered the elevator figuring that they would await the boss in the foyer before going to their off site meeting.

Hou Yi leaned in and gave Anna a brief kiss. "Sweetheart …"

"All good news. They decided the case can come off on Friday, morning, and I have a physio appointment then. They will then for a few weeks wearing a 'moon boot', but I will not be able to walk with the aid of crutches until next week."

"Such good news, and the other appointment?"

"9:30am next Wednesday. I have scheduled physio appointments for the next couple of weeks at 9am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Perfect timing as that will take me just before Pippa and Hannah's dance school has their trip to Hong Kong."

Hou Yi looked around and realised that the executives that had been with him, had left "I guess I better leave as I have to briefly attend a off-site meeting with them."

"Are you back before you go?"

"Fingers crossed, and I will come and see you before I head to j.a.pan." With that Hou Yi leaned down and gave Anna another kiss, and they both went into the elevator, which stopped on Anna's Level. Hou Yi escorted his wife to her office in front of the legal department. Before turning to leave he lent down and gave her another kiss before reluctantly pulling back and heading to his meeting.

After Hou Yi left, Jodie entered the room "Check up or something more? Will I be a G.o.dmother soon?"

"Jodie" squealed Anna. It was a checkup and as you can see, no cast, just a moon boot."

"d.a.m.n it, quick recovery. Now, boss I have done all the typing and uploaded it into the systems for your review. There is a meeting room on the ground floor booked for the charity initiative planning meeting later."

"Thanks. I better review all that work before the meeting, where I will ask everyone to speak English so you can be involved. Now before you distract me too much how are the language lessons going?"

"Good. John is doing better than me as on the building site he is at most workers speak English, but they constantly force him not to speak English. He has the language base though, as he learnt j.a.panese and French at primary and high school, I learnt no languages. We both attend formal cla.s.ses three times per week so that helps as does the ten people in the department who use our lunch break to help me, on the basis I buy them lunch."

"That is good. Remember to practice with me as well."

"OK Boss, now do you need me to organise you lunch?"

"Speak to the catering staff and arrange for them to bring something to me. It they want to argue tell them the Lady Boss said to do it. Plus tell them daily to bring lunch for you and whoever is helping you on the day. Just make sure whatever they bring for me has no garlic or a rich sauce."

Jodie went out to do what was directed and Anna settled in firstly to read the emails and then to start her review of the work Jodie had typed. When Jodie popped her head back in to confirm the lunch order Anna indicated that she had forwarded a number of emails that she needed responses drafted to.

Even despite the interruption of lunch being brought in and picking at if for a period of time, before Anna knew it Jodie interrupted her and told her it was 1:45 pm and time to get ready to head to the meeting, which was arranged in a meeting room on the ground floor.

As the planning meeting was breaking up just after 3pm Anna received a call from Hou Yi, asking where she was. He quickly arrived and quietly asked Jodie to pack up Anna's laptop and bring it and her handbag back down. Once Jodie was out of the room, Hou Yi lifted Anna to sit on the meeting room table and moved between her legs before kissing Anna pa.s.sionately.

Without realising Anna quickly untied Hou Yi's tie, opened the s.h.i.+rt b.u.t.tons and pushed his jacket onto the floor. Meanwhile Hou Yi, desperate to place his hands on his wife, had pushed the skirt up as high as he could, and had the b.u.t.tons undone on her s.h.i.+rt, and moving to unclasp her bra, before they were interrupted by a knock on the door, and then they heard Jodies voice calling out "Anna I have your laptop and handbag."

Hou Yi noticed how quickly Anna blushed, can called out "Give us a minute and we will be there."

With that they righted themselves as best as they could, and as they came out of the room. On exit it took the bodyguards and Jodie only a few seconds to determine what had been going on in the meeting room. Jodie handed over Anna's belongings, and said quietly "See you tomorrow boss. I will type up those notes and get through things in the system."

Anna accompanied Hou Yi to the Airport for his flight so that they could have as much time as possible together, and headed home after the plane left.
