She greeted the group of Asian businessmen as they debarked the private jet. RJ's instructions were very specific and she followed them to the letter. She made sure that all but Mr. Han and his personal assistant were put into one car and sent them to the office immediately. Then she escorted Mr. Han and his assistant to another car and climbed inside. She could see Mr. Han was not happy that RJ was not there, but she was prepared for that as RJ had explained everything to her. Once inside the car she knelt in the stretch limo with her legs together and folded under her. She placed her hands upon her thighs lightly and lowered her head. From this position she asked for Mr. Han's forgiveness.
"Mr Han, please forgive that Mr. RJ could not greet you personally at the airport. He is awaiting you at the office. We shall go when you are ready Sir."
With that she remained still and waited not looking up. Mr. Han was not pleased that RJ was not here to greet him, but he could see the sincerity in the one he had sent and was satisfied. She was pleased that he extended his grace, which meant she had succeeded in her task. Mr. Han told the driver to take them to the hotel and drop off the luggage and then took them to the office. Once they finally arrived at the office she lead them inside the building. She rode with Mr. Han and his assistant up the elevator.
She was quiet and never spoke unless spoken to first. She had joined her in kneeling in the limo as soon as it started to move. It made her more relaxed as she felt odd kneeling before anyone other than RJ. She was glad that she had joined her as they exchanged knowing smiles and names. Peki looked to be about her age, unlike Mr. Han who's gray hair showed him to be in his late forties. Peki's face appeared to have an aura of innocence, yet her exacting movements and the complete calm in her eyes showed that she drew from a deep well of experience.
Peki gave her one last look as the elevator reached the top then lowered her eyes in almost a solemn expression. She didn't have time to figure out why, because just then the doors of the elevator opened.
RJ meet Mr. Han as he stepped from the elevator. They exchanged formal greetings.
"I trust I have not come all this way to see plastic toys again RJ?"
RJ let the insult pass knowing it was his way to even the score for not being at the airport.
"I am sure you will find this trip more to your liking Mr. Han." RJ reassured him confidently.
"Very good."
Standing behind him, she couldn't see the object that Mr. Han was showing RJ, but she watched Mr. Han slip the object into his own shirt pocket. RJ looked at Peki and then back to Mr. Han nodding.
"I leave Peki in your care for now. Show me to the conference room so we can begin."
RJ lead them inside and told Peki to wait here. Peki stopped and kneeled with grace and ease in the exact spot RJ told her.
