130 Introducing our counselor
Monday, continued ...
At the sa ti as the supervisors were being escorted out. Amanda i stuck her head in the door "Madam Hou, is it OK to co in."
Anna was much more calr now that she had seen a friendly face with her said "Yes.And Amanda when I am here working it is still Anna, not Madam Hou.I need soone here, who was willing to talk and treat normally before, do the sa and I trust you to do that."
"Yes you are, you are the Lady Boss of the company, and I have to respect that."
"Amanda, I am giving you a direct order, and you are the only one getting this privilege, here at work, it is Anna, or if you cannot manage that Miss Anna.You made the effort not only to apologise for your error, but beco involved with , before you knew who my husband was.That gives you the right."
"Miss Anna, I just wanted to warn you, earlier today before the press conference Lawyers Deng and Bei were saying how they wanted to get you fired, but now are saying that they want to make sure that they beco your friend here.I hate to speak ill of soone, but I would suggest that you simply watch out for them.They have either acted against or been nice to and then dumped on other staff to get them out of here."
"Thank you Amanda.At so stage this week, I am going to take you out to lunch, without them, to thank you for making soone feel welco."
With that Amanda i left, and Anna logged onto the CEO intranet.The conversation box with Hou Yi popped up, with a ssage.'Anna, let know when you will be free.The psychologist who is willing to help us is free this afternoon, and would like to talk to us together and then you alone.'
Anna replied 'Given an hour and I should be free.Will ssage you to let you know I am on the way up.'
Anna simply focused on work, and the ti flew by, and she noticed the chat ssage from Hou Yi, reminding her to co up.Again, she closed her up her laptop, and locked it up, and then secured her office as she went up to Hou Yi's office.
As she was about to enter Hou Yi's office, she heard "Yi, you are evil" being squealed out by so woman.
Hou Yi then responded, "You know it."
Anna opened the door and found Hou Yi sitting at his desk and an unknown woman on the couch, throwing scrunched up paper at each other.All Anna could do was laugh at the look on their faces having been caught out having fun and shut the door behind her.
Before she moved far from the door, the woman, who Anna realised seed familiar, got up and walked over giving Anna a hug."Hi I am Phillipa Chen, but Yi here calls Pip, which he knows that I hate.Take a seat, and maybe that idiot can take a seat with you."
"You dare call an idiot, Pip squeak."
"Yi, rember I know where the photos of you being a idiot at University are, particularly that one where you did the nudie run.Do you want to get them out?"
"Fine" ground out Hou Yi as he sat down on the couch next to Anna.
"Anna, as you most likely guessed I t Hou Yi at university, so firstly as his friend if you want the embarrassing photos, ask I will quite happily supply you with a copy."With that she laughed.
Phillipa paused, then continued "In all seriousness, Yi asked to co and et with you.You know a little of my story, as Yi has for 10 years protected my secret…"
Anna interrupted "You are the person he helped?"
Phillipa continued "I am.However, while that event was traumatic, and still causes problems today, it shaped my career.I was studying psychology, but it made focus on responses to Dostic Violence in my undergraduate and post graduate studies, through to my doctoral degree."
Anna interrupted again, "I know why I can place you.You are Dr Phillipa Chen, one of the world's leading experts in treatnt of victims of Dostic Violence.I attended a lecture you gave about 12 months ago in lbourne at a National Conference about Dostic Violence Responses.I was highly impressed at what you had to say."
"I recall that conference, it was focusing on integrating services to support Dostic Violence victims.Actually, Yi called ten days ago, and asked to co and see if I could help you.He knows he can trust to keep secrets, and importantly not talk to the dia.Now, before you ask I has not spoken to about anything, all he did was hand copies of all the court docunts, so I could have so idea about the situation in your words."
