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
Our Secret Identities Chapter 46 – Bahamas
The group of ten climb the stairs to the Lester Drake Media Jet and quickly take their seats. Lester had already stored towels on the plane for those wanting to go for a swim during the day. “The towels are in tote bags in the overhead lockers. I am assuming everyone is either wearing or has packed some swimming gear. If not; I am sure we can find a beach you can skinny dip on” Lester tells everyone as every set of female eyes, roll at his comment.“If you don’t already know; my name is Greg and I will be your pilot today” Greg says coming over the loud speaker. “I’m required by law to give you the safety rundown before take-off. In case of an emergency; leave me the fuck alone so I can fix it. If I can’t; I will try to land the plane as safely as I can. If we manage to survive an emergency landing; I will head to the rear of the plane and help the ladies to the emergency exit, which happens to be the door you came in. Men; you are on your own. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.”Giggling
Our Secret Identities Chapter 47 – Lester is Told, No
There was a debate between the group before heading to the hotel. The women wanted to get dinner first and watch the sunset. The men wanted to freshen up first, before they ate. “It’s fine. You go back to the hotel. We will stay here to watch the sunset and head there when we are done” Simone intercedes in the argument as the rest of the ladies nod their support to her comment.Emmett grumbles before conceding to Simone and the rest of the men follow suit. They all head into a local restaurant and sit down on the balcony to watch the sunset. After the waitress takes their order; “It’s really pretty here” Caitlyn says, a blush coming on her face as Lester puts his arm around her. ‘I have to stop this. He’s handsome and everything; he isn’t the type of man I have in my life’ she says to herself.“Catie, do you want another drink?” Lester asks the strawberry blonde beauty, a small grin appearing on his face.“No. We’ve been drinking all day. The water will be fine” she states, giving him
Our Secret Identities Chapter 48 – An Awkward Breakfast
