Van Rensberg announces intention to return to head of Company

Ivy Van Rensberg, head of Van Rensberg Inc in America, awoke from a several month long coma recently to announce that she would be returning to the helm of her family corporation's American offices within the next few weeks.

Miss Van Rensberg was engaged to Lawyer Daniel Sullivan and was pregnant with his twins when she was involved in the accident that led her to be comatose for a number of months.

It has been nearly five weeks since Miss Van Rensberg regained consciousness under the watchful eye of her half brothers adoptive mother Dr. Grace T Grey, Seattle's highest regarded paediatrician.

Miss Van Rensberg is currently recovering at her Seattle home after being discharged from hospital.

The Van Rensberg name has been one prominence in the business world for over fifty years, and the reputation was boosted by Simon Van Rensberg, who made it a global enterprise. When he died, the largest portion of his estate, stocks and shares were handed over to his only Grandchild Ivy, who gained control of both when she turned 18.

Miss Van Rensberg is South African through both her parents but has American Citizenship, and has become the first member of her family to branch the enterprise out into the United States, with the first offices open in California.

Whilst she was unable to look after the Californian offices, her Uncle Jacob Van Rensberg stepped in, and also opened up offices in Seattle on the wishes of his niece before her accident.

Ivy Van Rensberg's own past has been somewhat chequered however. Her mother left when she was young and did not see her daughter for many years at a time.

Miss Van Rensberg's criminal record speaks of a troubled teenager, she was excluded from school and arrested several times as a young teenager. However, Ivy Van Rensberg is reported to have a genius level IQ and clearly has a good business brain; the turnover from the California offices in the period she was heading them was reported to be around One Billon US dollars, largely through a deal she made in Shanghai.

The Seattle offices of Van Rensberg Inc are expected to see their boss begin work there in the next few weeks, she will be SIX? months pregnant by this time.

Today Miss Van Rensberg and Daniel Sullivan were unavailable for comment. Christian Grey, CEO of Grey Enterprises and half brother of Miss Van Rensberg told us 'I'm happy my sister is making a good recovery and find her commitment to her company commendable. I can only imagine that she will want to be left alone at this time'.

Ana glanced up from the paper and looked at Daniel, who was sitting on the sofa in Escala, reading intently over some papers.

'You two made it into the papers today'. He looked up absently

'What, because she's heading back to the offices? It feels like I'm marrying a celebrity now'.

Ana laughed lightly 'Well, it is quite a big story around here at least. Are you in court today?'.

Daniel nodded, looking again over the notes 'Yeah. It's an easy enough case for us to win, I just don't want to make any stupid mistakes- I've been so distracted recently it wouldn't be hard'.

Ana cocked her head to one side in question and Daniel explained with a shrug 'I've got my fiancée back, if I'm honest, I'm finding it hard to keep my hands to myself'.

There was a cough from the other side of the Main room and they both looked up to see Christian standing there in a grey suit, an eyebrow raised and his lips pursed together.

'Well, thank you for that unnecessarily piece of information about my little sister Daniel. I thought you had to be in Court today?'.

He grins slightly 'Yeah, I'm leaving in a minute, does Ivy need a lift?'.

Ivy had been advised not to drive herself, partially because of how heavily pregnant she was, and also because the doctors didn't want her to over exert herself. Daniel had driven her over in the morning, wanting to discuss something with Christian. The siblings had gone into Christian's study and had now been in there for two and a half hours.

Ivy appeared next to Christian, wearing along black dress, a hand on her enormous bump, smiling, her hair in loose curls.

'I'm fine thanks, I think I'll just stay here for a bit. I'm seeing Mia later, I'll have her meet me here if that's okay?'.

Christian nodded with a shrug 'go for it. I'll go tell Barney later, Mikael can prepare the press release today, should be out by the afternoon'.

Daniel and Ana glanced at each other with confusion and then back to Ivy and Christian, who smiled, an arm around his sister loosely.

'We're doing a merger. The American Van Rensberg offices are officially merging with Grey Enterprises'.
