617 Return and Reality - Part 4

Monday, continued…

Hou Yi could see that Anna was extremely angry. He took a deep breath and quietly said "Calm down Anna. They also sent me the email they sent you. I am taking it at face value in that they are being over cautious, as you are my wife, not just any other employee."

"Well, la-di-da. You know I need to work and keep busy, and you are letting…" yelled Anna

"Anna, just because you are my wife, do not think that allows you to get away with anything. As I told you this morning, I will not bend company policy for you. The agreement we struck with ANX means that you are still technically a lawyer employed by them but working in Hou Enterprises means that you are governed by our employment policies. Those I will not make an exception for you to."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"Yi, this is stupid. It is making me crazy."

"Just calm down and check the company policy. It allows them to make the request from when you are five months pregnant or more. And it is not as if we must go out of our way, you have an appointment on Wednesday with the Obstetrician. I will forward him the request and ask him to make sure that we get the information from him to address it. Be logical about it and think about the future. I know you can thing strategically about things, not where has that gone?"

Hou Yi leaned over and gave Anna a kiss. Anna pulled back and looked directly at Hou Yi "Do not thinking being sweet is going to get you out of that. Nor is flattery about my skills. I am a strategic thinker, and do not need you telling me that. It just is personal, and I hate my personal choices being taken from me."

"Anna, they are not being taken from you, they are just following the same policy that is applicable to every employee of Hou Enterprises world-wide. Think about it, they are treating you like every other employee not the boss' wife. That says it all, you are being respected for your skills."

"Flatter."

Hou Yi, decided that he was not going to argue further with Anna, and pulled her back into his arms, and gave her another kiss, before whispering in her ear "I could blow off this meeting and we could go into my suite for…"

Anna pulled back, this time with a much more relaxed look on her face "Yi, that is so tempting, but …"

"Well, maybe later this afternoon then?"

"Yi!" squealed Anna. "I am going otherwise neither of us will get anything done today. Once I finalise a few initial things for the Sunrise Project, and by the way I will want some of your time tomorrow to deal with it, I am going shopping. However, do not think that this means that I have forgotten about this. I will let you know when I leave the office though."

Anna then turned and walked out of the office, showing a level of her displeasure about the request with Hou Yi as she left.
