Our Secret Identities Chapter 38 – It’s Not in the Media Sector
“Not nearly enough” Henry says, standing up to leave. “I was under the impression you had a good relationship with Paul; at least that is how they portrayed it. That was my error and I will take my punishment for the part I played.”“Wait” Simone states; glancing over at Emmett and Lester. Everyone turns their head to look at her; “You made a mistake; something everyone has done in this room. You are also willing to take responsibility for your actions. That reason alone; I would like you to stay on the board.”“It’s not up to you” Emmett remarks, glaring at his wife.“No; it’s not. I wanted to point it out” Simone replies, giving him a smile.“I see what you mean. She isn’t afraid to tell you what she is thinking” Travis Reynolds says with a chuckle.‘I’ll have this argument with her later’ Emmett tells himself. “No, she isn’t” he responds to Travis’ comment. “This is not the issue. The issue is what are we going to do with you?”“Have you learnt from your error in judgement?” Simone
Our Secret Identities Chapter 39 – Apology is Not Accepted
Simone and Richard hop off the elevator; “What the fuck is he doing here?” Vince shouts, as they come over to where he and Tiffany was standing. “And why are you with him?”“I’ve come to apologise for what I did to you” Richard says, glancing over at Simone for some help.“You’re on your own” she says, taking a seat on one of the foldout chairs at the doorway of the office space. “This is your problem, not mine.”“Whatever you have say; your apology is not accepted” Vince spits, moving away and heading through the door to the back of the office spaces.Richard was about to follow Vince; “Leave him. He will only beat the shit out of you” Tiffany says, pursing her lips together. “He will do more than what Emmett has done to you” she adds; looking at his black eye.“For the last fucking time; Emmett didn’t do this to me” Richard yells; his voice echoing around the empty space.“Please tell me who did; I want to shake his hand” Tiffany says; walking away from the pair.“You knew they were
Our Secret Identities Chapter 40 – Pay Up
Emmett was lost for words. He didn’t know how to respond, listening to Richard explain the problem with the building plans, compared to the blueprints of the building. ‘I’m impressed’ he says inwardly to himself. “That’s what happens when you hire cowboy builders” Richard states; taking the seat in front of Emmett’s desk.“Were you going to hire him?” Emmett asks, looking at Simone.“We hadn’t decided” she tells him; walking over to sit on his lap, since the sofa and chair were taken. Emmett didn’t complain. “He had the best layout and we were going to talk to him today, regarding how he was going to achieve the layout. I’m glad Rick was there.”“Can you achieve this layout?” Emmett asks, looking at Richard.“Anything can be achieved. Simone will need an engineer to come in. They will be able to tell us how to reinforce the floor above. And if we were to get it up to fire code; I would suggest joining this corridor with this one. If there is a fire on that floor; everyone will be able
Our Secret Identities Chapter 41 – I Would Rather Go Bankrupt
A few days later; Emmett and Simone were on their way to Hunter, Hunter and Russell law firm. Simone was following up with Gloria about the lawsuit Lively Design Studios had against her; whilst Emmett was having a meeting with her father; Trevor, about the purchase of Peterson Properties. Richard and Lester were meeting them there.“Did Gloria tell you what was happening with the lawsuit?” Emmett asks, parking the car.“She said Mark was willing to come to an agreement” Simone replies, climbing out of the passenger seat. “I’m not sure what agreement. We will find out shortly, no doubt.”The pair walk into the building; “Mr Hunter and Ms Hunter are waiting for you both in the conference room” Helen; Gloria’s personal secretary says, greeting them at the front door. “I will take you to them.”Walking through the door of the conference room; Simone is shocked to see Mark and his team of lawyers sitting on one side of the table; and Gloria, Trevor and Isaac were sitting on the other side
Our Secret Identities Chapter 42 – Sense of Deja Vu
Once they left the law firm; Emmett dropped Simone out the front of Bridal Boutique; the bridal shop for the rich and famous. They decided to continue with Leona and Drakes wedding; even though it will be a vow ceremony; rather than a wedding. The wedding was to be held the following weekend in Rocky Valley Park. Simone thought the larger she grows with the pregnancy; the more uncomfortable the bodysuit will get.“Tiff; Mrs Walker” Simone calls out as she enters the store.Tiffany had the bodysuit and Leona’s clothes ready for when Simone arrived. Handing it to her; “the changerooms are over there” Tiffany responds; pointing to a group of small cubicles.Simone moves to the cubicles; “Does anyone else get a sense of déjà vu?” she giggles; heading into the cubicle to get changed.“Yes” Jenny Walker says with a chuckle; “Except we are getting ready for a proper wedding this time around.”“Caitie; Sandy and Beck will be here in an hour” Tiffany adds, looking at her watch. “Let’s get you
Our Secret Identities Chapter 43 – The Takeover.
The following morning; Emmett, Lester and Richard walk into the office building of Peterson Properties; ready to address the staff. The terms of the takeover; all staff members were to be given the option to stay under Richard or be paid out for services rendered. The only employees not included were those associated with Seamus O’Conner. They will be taken into custody.The directors for the company; were paid out under the current stock prices as their services were no longer needed. Lester Drake Media directors will be taking over these positions. Paul was given $20 million for his company; more than it was worth. Lester had the bank transfer the money the day before, once Paul signed the legal paperwork.“I want to thank everyone for coming into the office this morning” Emmett begins, standing in front of the crowd of employees. “Some of you may be aware; some of you may not. I have taken over the company from Paul Peterson.”There were gasps and murmurs around the front foyer by
Our Secret Identities Chapter 44 – Embezzlement
“You’ve only been on the job for 10 minutes. Did you have a massive walkout?” Emmett says, answering the phone.“Houston; we have a problem” Richard tells him; laughing. “Do you guys have a PI you use to chase things up?”“We do. What’s the issue?” Emmett asks, hoping it was something small and Richard was overreacting.“I think I know why dad only got me to be a gopher and wouldn’t let me take over from him” Richard tells him. “There are some discrepancies in the books to what was charged to the clients. I need your PI to have a look to see where the money went; into the business or elsewhere. I can only see the hard copies of invoices and quotes for any current contracts we have. When you took over yesterday; the bank accounts were closed and the operating system was wiped. I can’t chase them up myself.”“I see” Emmett says; not elaborating. “How do you know there was a discrepancy?”“I told you; I was the gopher. I go for this and go for that” Richard chuckles. It remained quiet on
Our Secret Identities Chapter 45 – Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties
Getting ready for the two respective parties; Emmett got dressed in a pair of khakis with a light blue, thin polo shirt. Whereas; Simone was putting on a lilac purple knitted dress. Simone and Tiffany decided for her to go as Simone. Although everyone knew who she was; it was safer from any uninvited guests wanting to join the party; compared to, if she was Leona.It was still early in the morning; Lester and Tiffany were planning to make a whole day of entertainment for the pair. Emmett convinced Lester to go somewhere they wouldn’t get recognised. “It’s cold out; you need to put on a sweater” Simone tells Emmett, brushing her auburn hair.“I’ll put one on when I go outside” Emmett tells her, grabbing the sweater he was talking about. “I won’t be wearing it for long. Lester’s taking the jet to the Bahamas.”“Jet? What Jet?” Simone gasps, not realising they had a private jet; then reprimanding herself for not asking about one.Snickering softly to himself; “First in, first served” Emm
