Chapter 23 - CHAPTER 12 : COMPANY'S ANNUAL ANNIVERSARY

Larry is Hanson's assistant, one day he reminded him about company's annual anniversary. Every year on October they always celebrate it together with all of the employees. These past two years they held a charity event, starting with the bazaar for two days and the money they've got from the bazaar they gave it to the orphanage or any one who need it.

This time Hanson told his assistant they would make bigger event, involving his friends company as well. He wanted to bigger his business and to be well known by a lot of people. He chose Marvin to be the leader of the event, then Marvin chose Candy, Kelly and Jordan to help him. They had to prepare the event a month before.

Hanson called Marvin to tell him his plan "Marv, for our annual anniversary this time I want to held some events starting with the bazaar day for two days like used to be, we can held some contests too at the bazaar like drawing and coloring for children and modelling for bigger kids. I want to grab some nice idea from their drawing. We can get some new fresh face for our projects in the future from the modelling contest right ?"

Marvin listened to him excitingly "Yeah you're right boss ! You're very intelligent !"

"As for the reward we can ask from our sponsors, you have to make proposal in advance, then you can send it to my friends companies, Larry will inform you later."

"OK, I'll do it now sir. I'll show you the proposal as soon as possible."

"You may go now !" he dismissed him.

Hanson told Candy that he would go to D city the next day, he would meet up with his old friend and talk about his business plan, he told Candy to go with him. He thought that it would be a perfect plan to take her away for a date.

"I will go to meet my friend tomorrow at D city. Prepare yourself, you go with me too !"

"Your words are my command sir, I'll get ready for it !" Actually Candy was hesitating to follow him, but his order can't be rejected. She felt awkward when she heard the trip would be just the two of them. "Is Larry not coming with us sir ?"

"Nope, he has some work to do here."

"What is the plan at D city tomorrow sir ?"

We're going to meet my friend Kenny Leung in there, I want to ask him to joint our event next. His father owned garment industry, he has department store business too. I think he will support us ! My other agenda is to visit a world exhibition in there too. I'll need you to assist me since Larry can't come with us."

"Oh I see, I think it's a good idea too ! Are we going to stay there for a night sir ?"

"Yes, the flight to that city only once a day."

She mumbled to herself "Oh no, I have a bad feeling about this !"

Hanson had informed his friend Kenny Leung about his visit a day before.

When they got into D city the next day, they went to the hotel directly to put their luggage. Actually Hanson wanted to book two room, but the hotel around that city were fully booked since they had world exhibition in their city. So he told Candy that he had booked only one room for them, it made Candy very nervous. "Sorry Can, the hotel around here are fully booked, I can only get one room for us to stay tonight in here."

"It's OK Han bro !"

To Hanson this is a good news, but to Candy it's a bad news "This guy had took advantage of the full booked hotels here ! I have to think of a way to avoid him tonight !" She's trying to rack off her brain.

They went to see around the exhibition after checked in to the hotel. The exhibition was very crowded, many people around the world came to see the products that being showed in there and made some transactions also. Candy was interested on the antiques things, she stop at one of the outlet for a while and observing them. Hanson just followed her and watching her admiring those things. Then they continued to look around.

In the afternoon, Hanson met with his friend Kenny at the restaurant. He told him about his event and asked him to participated together with him.

"Hi, Hanson how are you doing ? Who is she ? Your girlfriend ?" Kenny asked Hanson while his eyes looked to Candy beside Hanson.

Hanson smiled faintly "Well, you may say so, but she's my employee too." Candy didn't dare to see them all, she just looked down all the time to hide her red face.

"So, is this about company romance ?" Kenny teased him.

"This is my employee Candy Wu, and this is my friend Kenny Leung." Hanson introduced to both of them.

Candy tried to be polite she lift up her face a bit and nodded "Hi nice to meet you Mr Leung !"

"Nice to meet you too Ms Wu ! You look beautiful !"

"Thank you"

"If you're not Hanson's girlfriend maybe I'll pursue you !" Kenny teased her.

Candy got blushed "You're too overwhelmed praising me Mr Leung ! I'm just an ordinary working girl, I maybe not suitable to someone as respectable as you." she replied him in humble.

"Wow you're truly a humble girl, you're just perfect to be Hanson's partner !" Candy didn't dare to respond him again.

Hanson ignored him as well, he saw Candy in awkward face, so he changed the subject "Let's have some dinner first, then we talk again later. The food looks delicious !" Hanson took some dish into her plate, she thank him.

They had some talk again after dinner, Kenny agreed to support his event. He gave Hanson a project also, he wanted to make a billboard advertising of his department store. Hanson told Candy to write down all of his demand.

They went back to the hotel again after the meeting, it's already ten o'clock. Candy took a shower right after they got into the hotel room and she prepared the sofa for her to sleep, that's all she can think off to avoid Hanson. Hanson told her to sleep on the bed, but she insisted on the sofa. She felt very exhausted and fell asleep not long after. Hanson sighed seeing her sleeping on the sofa. He carried her to the bed after she's in deep sleep. He kissed her forehead and slept beside her. Candy didn't aware of it, she slept soundly like a baby.

The next morning, Hanson woke up first and he went to the bathroom, he was afraid he couldn't control his desire seeing Candy was sleeping beside him. When Candy opened her eyes she was surprised seeing her sleeping on the bed. When Hanson went out from the bathroom she asked him "Last night I was sleeping on the sofa right, but why I'm on the bed now ? Han bro, did you ..."

"MMM... I carried you to the bed last night. I was afraid you might fall from the sofa. Don't worry nothing happened last night, we were just sleeping together that's all. You were sleeping like a baby last night !" Hanson laughed leaving her to pack his things.

"But did I bother you last night ? I was afraid I disturbed your sleeping !"

"Nope, you slept soundly last night. And it's not our first time sleeping together in the same bed right ?" Candy got blushed, she didn't dare to see him in the eyes, she took her change cloth then went to take a shower after him.

Hanson told her to visit one place before they get back that day. It was a big temple, with big dragon ornament at the entrance. It has big pond inside and they served some delicious food in there for free.

He prayed in there for few minutes, Candy was circling around the temple while waiting for him, but then he asked her to pray together with him too. Candy was hesitated at first, but then she thought it's not a bad idea to pray and accompany him.

Hanson seriously prayed in there he wished Candy to be his wife someday. They took some photos together before they left the temple. Hanson hugged her tightly, his hand wrapped around her waist, Candy felt so warm in his embrace. He told a passerby to took their photo together.

Back to S city, Hanson asked Marvin and Larry about his progressed on preparing their event.

Marvin explained to him the whole things, Larry reported his job also to him. In the afternoon Hanson and Candy went back together to their apartment, Hanson had ordered some take away food, he decided to have it at Candy's place. "Han bro, are you not tired from the trip ?"

"I'm not, why ?"

"I'm not really hungry actually."

"But you have to eat, and I don't want to eat alone ! I want to discuss something with you too but I won't disturb you so long."

After having dinner Hanson discussed about their event a little while with her. While she's explaining her plan to him, he's starring at her all the time, it made her felt awkward. "Han bro is there something on my face ?"

"Nope"

"Why do you starring at me ?"

"I'm admiring your perfect cute face !"

She got blushed "I think you have to go back to your place now ! Please don't make fun with me !"

"I'm being serious with you Can, when will you open your heart for me ?"

She stunned for a while and speechless.

"Well, I still compromising with myself right now Han bro. I'm not ready to answer you right now." she sighed.

"OK, I won't force you now. But I'm not that patience either. I'm back to my place now, rest well !" he waved at her and went back to his place.

"Good night Han bro !"

Candy heaved a heavy sigh after he left, she thought of his words just now, she had conflicted feeling about it, on one side she still wanted to focused on her career, on the other side Hanson was very tempted her day by day. His tenderness and care had melted her heart. They became more intimate lately.

***

The bazaar started with the marathon race first, Hanson and Candy joint with their team together with other citizen as well. They started to ran at six o'clock in the morning. Hanson and Candy leading the race since they did jogging regularly. While Jolin was left behind, she got the finish line thirty minutes after the show is over.

The bazaar event had finished successfully, they had earned a lot of money for the orphanage. Hanson had an idea to gathered the three orphanages they planned to support in his Dad's hotel ballroom to treat them. And the children could perform either. He told Candy to play her violin together with him and singing together with the children, Candy agreed to him. They practiced together in his house for two days in a row.

They performance with the children nicely, everyone was very satisfied seeing their boss took part in the performance to entertain everybody. Even the principals of the orphanage praised them a lot. Except Jolin, she saw Candy performance on the stage in rage. Her jealousy towards Candy was growing bigger seeing her getting intimate with the boss each days. She's planning something bad in her mind to harm her.

Hanson thanks to his staffs for their hard work on preparing the event. He donated formally the money they've earned to the orphanages that night. The principals thank him and his company back so much.

After the show was over, Hanson went to Marvin he shook his hand "Congratulation Marv you've succeeded to held this year annual events !"

Marvin was glad he finally could finish his job well, he shook Hanson's hand back "Thank you sir, it was all team work doing !"

"Then prepare yourself for the next project !"

Marvin stunned "What project sir ?" His facial expression turned to worry.

"We'll talk about it again later ! See you !" Hanson just smiled and left him wondering .
