389 Happy Birthday Triplets - Part 4

Saturday, continued …

Meanwhile, inside the event room there the birthday party was happening due to Ton's outburst Alecia decided to step back a little.Ton and Junior were always unpredictable in their behaviour towards her when they perceived they were not the centre of attention.Yesterday, she could see how much they were not coping, given the focus was on her and James.

As she took James' hand she quietly said "James, let us step back.My brothers cannot cope unless they are the centre of attention all the time.That is why they acted like spoiled brats yesterday."

"Alecia, it is also your birthday as well."

"I really do not care.I just want to enjoy today, so can you..."

"Whatever you say."And with that he lent down and gave her a brief kiss on the lips, and let Alecia drag him off to the side.

Very soon after Alecia and James moved to the side the doors on the room swung open and guest started to arrive.To James, from a somewhat outsider's point of view everyone easily greeted his brothers-in-law and father-in-law, but very few initially sort out Alecia.They simply stood walking to Anna and Hou Yi.

It was not until James noticed that for at least five minutes Yao Tan had been signaling for Alecia to come over, that he turned and whispered in her ear "Alecia, your Dad is after you to go over with him and the boys."

Alecia turned to James and responded, "Why should I be bothered, my brothers do not want me there."

"Alecia it is your birthday as well, go and enjoy it."

"I am happy here."With that she reached up and pulled James head down for a kiss.

Alecia decided for herself that she was going to ignore her father for now and move away from where she was with James before finding a quiet corner simply to sit with hom.Anyone who wanted to talk to her could come and find her.

James, turned and noticed someone looking inside from the outside patio/Balcony area, staring at Alecia.He had no idea who this older person was, and decided to turn to Hou Yi, and ask.He tapped him on the shoulder and said quietly "Yi, who is that staring in from that balcony?"

Hou Yi turned, and soon as he spotted it, James could see his brother-in-law tensing up.In a low, but angry and aggressive voice he responded "That b*stard, I though I would have taught him the other day not to try and mess with my family and friends.Maybe I need to give him another lesson?"

"Who is he?" responded James in the same quiet tone he had used.

"You remember that, lets say idiot, that I know you and your brothers all want to kill ..."

"Lu Jinhu?"

"Yes. That is his father."

"F*ck, do not let Alecia know, you know that he was involved in what happened to her?"

"Yes, Anna told me.I will arrange for extra security.There is no way that we need him here.He is, put it politely all p*ssed off with me, as he tried to blackmail me and I turned the tables on him."

"What did you do?"

"Set him up and the police are looking at him for assault and blackmail.And it was so pleasurable dealing with him when he assaulted me as I responded in kind.I just wish it had been his son, as that would have been better.But you better not tell your sister, she will kill me if she knows I used violence."

"Given what you are doing for Alecia and I, that is a secret I can keep for you."

James looked over and noticed Alecia was talking to a group of girls about her age, so he decided that after letting his father-in-law know who was observing he would go over.As soon as he reached Yao Tan, he quietly pulled him aside, and said "Sir, I just noticed someone staring at Alecia from outside.My brother-in-law said it was CEO Lu, and that he was going to arrange for extra security around to protect my wife."

He immediately noticed the look on his father-in-law's face, and continued "Alecia, I do not believe noticed him."

"Thanks goodness that is the last thing needed today."With that Yao Tan left James alone and walked over to his friend to further talk.
