Our Secret Identities Chapter 29 – I’m Pregnant
Emmett, Simone, Tiffany and Vince were talking about what they can do to set up a new modelling agency when a female doctor comes in with an orderly, to collect Simone. “What’s taking so long?” Emmett spits angrily.“I’m sorry; we had to wait for an ultrasound machine to become available. We aren’t able to x-ray your shoulder” the doctor says, helping Simone off the bed and into the wheelchair provided for her. “Mr Spencer; you and the other visitors can wait here.”The orderly pushes the wheelchair behind the doctor and into a small room with an ultrasound machine just up from the cubicle. “Why can’t you do an x-ray?” Simone asks, not understanding what was happening.“You’re pregnant. We are going to do two things. Firstly; we will check how far along you are, since you have a Merina and it was due to be changed. And secondly, we will see what damage is done to your shoulder before I put it back into place” the doctor informs her.“I’m pregnant?” Simone gasps in shock at the news. “
Our Secret Identities Chapter 30 – Exclusive Interview
After the car accident; Emmett stayed at home to look after Simone. She was starting to feel better and was looking forward to having a little boy or girl around the place. “Are you going back to work today?” she asks, coming into the kitchen. Her arm was on the mend, but she needed to keep it in the sling for another 4 weeks.“Yes, I am” Emmett says, putting his arms around his wife, handing her two pieces of toast. After his last attempt to make her breakfast; he decided to learn how to cook. At least something as basic as toast. “What will you do without me?”“I don’t know; eat. Sleep. Do an interview or two” she giggles, putting butter and honey on the toast before taking a bite. “It’s at 11, isn’t it?”“Yes” Emmett replies, buttering his own piece of toast. “In my office. Sonia will be conducting the interview herself.”“And if I’m late?” Simone asks, a playful grin crossing her face.“If you are late; I will have to punish you” Emmett smirks, standing up from his chair. “On seco
Our Secret Identities Chapter 31 – A New Director
After the interview; Simone, Tiffany and Vince went down to check out the third-floor space to get a rough idea of how to design the new modelling agency. Emmett and Lester went to the boardroom for a sales meeting.Just as the meeting ended; a knock comes on the door. “What is it?” Emmett yells, as Lester’s secretary and seventh girlfriend Eden walks in. “Mr Smith; Mr Spencer; The new director is here to meet you.”With everything that had happened over the last week; Lester and Emmett had left the appointing of the new director in the other 8 director’s hands.“Show him in” Lester says, giving her a tap on the ass as she went past him.As the new director makes his way through the doorway; Emmett bunches his hands into fists on his lap. “You have got to be fucking kidding?” Lester spits, looking at Paul Peterson.“Not a good impression on your new board member” Paul retorts, taking a seat at the end of the board table.“Get the fuck out of my company” Emmett seethes through clenched
Our Secret Identities Chapter 32 – Praise and Backlash
Over the next three days; the nerves and anxiety emanating from Simone was excruciating. On the one hand; she felt like she was betraying the industry. On the other side of the coin; it was a step in the right direction for equality.“What you have done is no different to ‘the next top model’ show or a talent scout reaching out to find the next big thing” Tiffany says, taking a seat on the sofa next to Simone. “What you have achieved; is from hard work and determination. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.”“How is Emmett coping with what happened at Lester Drake Media?” Vince asks, changing the subject from the interviewed article.“Lester got the directors to recant their offer to Paul. They used a loop hole. Neither owner authorised him as a candidate for the position and they only had to pay him back the price of the stocks he purchased” Simone begins; taking a long breath. “He is relieved; at the same time, he is still hurting.”She knew if Paul had become a member of the boar
Our Secret Identities Chapter 33 – Becoming a Director
“Are you sure? I’m not really qualified to be a director” Simone questions hesitantly. “I only have a high school diploma and don’t know a thing about business.”“You are the best candidate we have” Emmett says, putting his arms around her. “Some of the board voiced their opinion. We as a couple would own the majority of shares. They were concerned you would only side with whatever I suggest. I told them they don’t know you. If you don’t like something I say or do; you tell me.”“I don’t want to interfere with your company” Simone states, moving from Emmett’s embrace and sitting on the end of the bed.“You won’t be interfering” Emmett says, sitting down next to her. “You will just have a say with what Lester and myself want to do with the company. We need a woman’s perspective on the board. We have gone too long without one.”Contemplating the offer; “I’ll become a director. If I think it’s not working out; I will withdraw my position” Simone answers. Smiling, Emmett plants a kiss on
Our Secret Identities Chapter 34 – Being Sued
Simone was waiting for someone to serve her with legal papers. She wasn’t happy they came after Emmett had come home from work. “What is this all about?” he screams at the poor legal intern, standing in the doorway.“Mark Webster is suing for damages to his business” the intern states; taking a step back to leave.Slamming the door and sitting down at the dining room table; Emmet opens the envelope, to read through the paperwork regarding the lawsuit against Simone. “You are not the cause of any of this” he snaps, looking over at Simone who comes over to him.“That much we do know. I’ve already sort legal advice” Simone remarks, taking a seat next to Emmett and picking up the documents to have a read.“And?” Emmett asks getting annoyed at what some people will do to make a buck.“They don’t have a leg to stand on” she says, trying to not make an issue of something that is out of her control. Seeing Emmett wasn’t going to accept that as an answer; Simone continues; “Gloria said; I am n
Our Secret Identities Chapter 35 – Richard’s Explanation
“Do you mind if I get something to eat?” Richard asks, coming out of the guest room as Emmett and Simone were just about to sit down for dinner. Nodding her head; “Did Paul hit you again?” Simone asks, putting some roast beef and vegetables on her plate; topping the whole plate with gravy. “He never stopped” Richard says; eyeing how much gravy she was putting on top. “Do you have enough? Or would you like me to get you a pitcher?” “I’m fine” she answers. ‘It’s not me who wants the gravy; it’s the jelly bean in my stomach that does’ she adds to herself. Emmett’s eyes narrow to a cold stare. Not because Richard was teasing Simone. He wasn’t aware Richard was beaten by Paul. “Why did you come here, of all places?” Emmett asks, not sure of what he is doing or why he would go to him in the first place. “You hate me as much as Paul.” “I don’t hate you. You are my brother” Richard says; shock creeping on Emmett’s face. “I already told you; I don’t have anywhere else to go.” “Hotel; Fri
Our Secret Identities Chapter 36 – Buy a Business
“What do you mean; maybe not?” Richard asks, turning back to look at Emmett. “I may be here for the moment; I’m not leeching off of you.”“You definitely won’t be leeching off of me” Emmett says, moving from the table. “I need to consult with Lester first and then the board; do you think you could run Peterson Properties yourself?”“Yes; better than dad. He’s a carpenter. He started by flipping houses before going into apartment buildings then old office buildings. I have a business and architecture degree. Dad won’t even let me try; for whatever fucked up reason” Richard states, a smirk crossing his face; understanding what Emmett was planning to do. “Is dad’s business really up shit creek without a paddle?”“Oh yeah” Emmett states, grinning from ear to ear. ‘Ultimate retribution. Selling his company to me or go bankrupt. That will hurt’ he adds in his mind. “You two should go to bed; I’ll call a few people and see what we can do… Separately” he spits the last part of the sentence at
