131 Getting Help - Part 1

Monday, continued ...

Phillipa continued "Now, while Yi knows how I operate when dealing with people, I figured you need to understand Anna."

"Given the blaze of publicity regarding your marriage in the last few days, be being Yi's friend is a good thing, as it gives me an excuse to be around both of you within people realising that I am actually doing a professional task at the same time as being a friend."

"Just so you know my normal process with clients is to meet with the briefly and then meet individually with them, before coming back together.However for you, if I need to I will adapt this.However there are some ground rules on how I do things.I listen and talk to you about issues, I do not judge and do not tell the other anything in your absence, unless I believe that there is a risk of self-harm or increased psychological trauma."

"Most importantly you both need to be conscious of and follow my recommendations.This is not only allow you to start to recover as best you can Anna for for Yi to be your support, but to give your relationship the opportunity for success in the long term given the stress the trauma of the past will place on it.Are you both OK with this?"

"You have to ask Pip."

"Yes Phillipa."

"Yi, I need you to scram for some time.Your wife and I will talk, and when we are ready one of us will call you."

"You are kicking me out of my office."

"Of course, go visit some project or something.We do not need you here."

Hou Yi turned to Anna "You will be OK?Do not let her bully you."

"Yi, go.I need help, otherwise I am just going to be a complete wreck."

Hou Yi, being satisfied that things would be OK, left his office, shutting the door firmly behind him.

"Anna, I cannot believe it.I have never seen Yi act like that before.You have a hold over him, which I do not think you yet realise.You told him to go and do something, and he went.In the past he would have ignored everyone who asked him."

Phillipa paused, then continued "I am going to ask this question as your therapist, not Yi's friend.How do you feel about him?"

"Truthfully, I only recall meeting Yi on the day that we married.He promised to help me get revenge on the idiot who hurt me, and I promised to help keep Hou Enterprises out of that same idiot's hands due to a deal he struck with his father and grandfather.He has, however grown on me."Anna paused and took a couple of breaths.

"He can be dominating and controlling, but at the same time he is so determined to help me and protect me.I wonder if our relationship has a real chance of success, but at the same time I am so worried that my past is going to prevent us from having a chance of happiness.That is something I want.However, I do not know how he feels about me, but I do get the impression that he wants to give this relationship all the chance of success as he can."

"The biggest thing you need to do for me is tell me what you see your goal or goals are from this."

With that Anna, had to pause, and with Phillipa, the went into deep conversation about what Lu Jinhu did to her and even he mother and grandfather and their impact on her.

When they stopped and looked at the time they realised that it was 1:30pm so they decided to call Hou Yi and have him come back.Phillipa suggested as Anna had spent a block of time crying that while Phillipa was talking to Yi that she got herself cleaned up, knowing that there was a bathroom attached to the Office.

When Hou Yi arrived back Anna was promptly chased into the bathroom and told firmly to wait in the sitting room, until called.

Once Phillipa heard the water running, she turned to Hou Yi "What ever prompted you to marry her."

Hou Yi took a breath, and quietly said "I am in love with her.I fell in love with her on sight, and when she proposed marriage, I figured it would give me a shot at happiness.I still want that shot, but Lu Jinhu has damaged her, which has been added to by her mother and maternal grandfather.But at least she does not know some things, about what he was doing and saying when he was back here on his visits."
