The following morning; Emmett dropped Leona off at Lively Studio Designs. She was meeting the rest of the models to do a fitting for the runway show at the end of the week. “I’ll head back with Katrina afterwards” she tells Emmett, leaning over to give Emmett a kiss before stepping out of the car.Continuing to the Lester Drake Media building; Tiffany calls Emmett’s phone. “Tiff” he says, pushing the answer button on his steering wheel.“I have an older lady here” she says down the phone. “She’s saying she wants to see you and she asked me to message Rick to come here.”“Who is it?” Emmett asks, turning the corner.“She won’t tell me” Tiffany replies before whispering the rest of her sentence. “She looks like an older version of Sylvia. I think she’s Rick’s grandmother.”‘Evelyn Springfield wants to see me?’ Emmett contemplates in his mind. ‘Why?’ he adds before answering Tiffany. “Message Rick to come to my office. Don’t tell him why” Emmett responds. “I’ll be there shortly.”Hanging
“Rick said you wanted to see me” Tyrone states, coming into Emmett’s office later that day. “What about?”“We need to keep this confidential. I won’t be showing Les, Simone or Stuart unless I have to” Emmett explains, turning his computer screen around to show Tyrone what was on it. “I would like to know the best way to proceed with the following information.”“Where did you get this?” Tyrone asks, reaching over to take Emmett’s mouse and scrolling through the multiple emails on his computer. “There are hundreds of documents here.”“Bank account statements. Emails sent and received by Maxwell Springfield. Pharmaceutical invoices and collaboration documents with Jeremy” Emmett continued, keeping his face neutral. “Not to mention patient information regarding his drug addiction research. The person who gave it to me, took a huge risk; compiling this information over the years. They would like to remain anonymous.” “How did they…” “I didn’t ask and they didn’t tell” Emmett interrupts, g
Emmett leaves his office and heads into Lester’s. He couldn’t hide the worry on his face as he takes a seat on Lester’s sofa. “I have Aunty Josie coming tomorrow” he states as Lester glances up from his paperwork. “We need her help with Hawkeye.”“Is getting Maxwell Springfield and Jeremy O’Connor that difficult you need to involve her?” Lester questions. He knows who Josephine Boyle is to Simone and Emmett and wanted to make sure this was the only viable move Emmett could make.“Yes” Emmett responds not going into more detail. “If anyone can get information to arrest him for what he is done. It’s her” he continues, keeping his face as neutral as he could. He knows he couldn’t hide his worry from Lester. “I want to surprise Simone. Don’t tell her she’s coming.”“Ok” Lester sighs, stepping out from behind his desk. “I’m ready with all the paperwork for the directors meeting. Are you ready to introduce a new chief editor?”“As I’ll ever be” Emmett responds, walking out the doorway behin
The next morning; Emmett left Simone at the common elevator before heading up the private elevator to his office. He wasn’t expecting the scene he had as he stepped off. Stuart and Roger were throwing questions at Josephine when she smiles at him. “Drake” she exclaims, walking over and wrapping her arms around him.“You weren’t meant to come in until 11” Emmett responds with a smile; picking her up and twirling her around. “It’s good to see you” he adds, placing her feet back on the ground.“I couldn’t wait to see you. Cassie sends her love” she smiles, turning to give Lester a hug as he comes off the elevator. “Still causing trouble for this one?” she questions, nodding her head towards Emmett.“When haven’t I?” Lester answers with a snicker.“I was about to brief Stuart and Roger about our meeting” Emmett injects, pulling out his phone to message Simone and Richard. “You may as well come into my office now.”‘Our 11am is early. If you can come sooner; that will be appreciated’ he se
After listening to Sylvia’s confession; Josephine looks over at Simone and Emmett. “You are aware we can’t use this as evidence to arrest Doctor Springfield” she says, picking up on the bit of information he was the one who ordered their accident. “Are you certain he was involved?”“Roger, do you mind moving so I can show Aunty Josie the files?” Emmett asks, as Roger and Josephine switch places. “We are aware. We have more.”“I had found the information out with Mike’s help” Stuart explains as Josephine clicks on the files in Hawkeye. “Celeste and Victoria’s old editor had some of their old notes and was sure they were set up. He couldn’t prove it. Mike found a connection to Doctor Springfield and everything else fell into place. He was the person they were investigating.”“How do you know Seamus O’Connor wasn’t the head of the Irish Mob?” Josephine asks, glancing through the files.“Alan O’Neill told us his part in the arrest” Tyrone spits as Josephine turns to stare at him. “He did
“You were right to come to me” Josephine states, closing the files she had opened on Emmett’s computer. “And I respect your informant would like to remain anonymous. I may need to interview them. Please make them aware there may be a chance I have to.”Richard gives Emmett a slight nod before Emmett responds; “I will let them know.”Getting out of her chair; Josephine walks behind Emmet’s desk and gives him and Simone a peck on the cheek. “Did you want to join me for dinner? Ricardo’s slotted me in tonight” she asks, giving the pair a smile.“Sure” Simone responds getting off Emmett’s lap to give Josephine a hug.Taking the two USB sticks; Josephine heads out of the office with Roger and Stuart following her. “Are you able to message Nana for me?” Emmett says to Richard; knowing the rest of the room figured out who the informant was because they were here when she came to visit.Simone stops herself from going into the washroom again, turning on her heels to look at him. “Evelyn Sprin
Emmett and Simone walk into Bon Appetite; heading up to the front counter. “Drake, Leona; you don’t have a booking” Georgina says, looking down at her tablet. “We are booked solid; I can try and slot you in.”“We are a part of Josephine Boyle’s party” Emmett smiles, taking Simone’s hand.“Table of four” Georgina says, returning Emmett’s smile. “Commissioner Boyle and her guest are already here” she adds, leading the pair into the restaurant. Simone and Emmett were shocked to hear there was a second person they were having dinner with.As they head to the table; Simone’s smile widens when she sees who the mystery person was; “Dad” she exclaims, embracing him as Georgina bids them Bon Appetite before heading back to the front counter. “How are you feeling?”“I’m fine” Phillip chuckles, taking his seat again. “Linda has enough worry for the both of you.”“How is she?” Simone smiles at the mention of Linda’s name as her and Emmett take their seats. “I feel bad I haven’t been able to get b
Richard and Sandy were sitting at the table when he felt the vibration of his phone in his pocket. There was a rule at his grandparent’s house; no cell phones at the dining table. Politely excusing himself; he went to the bathroom to check the message. “Enjoy the show?” he whispers, looking in the mirror. “What does he mean; enjoy the… Oh.”He quickly washes his hands and heads back out to the table. His business trip coincided with meeting Sandy’s parents. She was nervous and tried to get out of it a few times. Her parents weren’t rich or glamourous and Richard figured she heard the rumours; probably told to her by Simone, Vince and Tiffany; on what he was like during high school. He wasn’t the same person and wanted to pay the same courtesy by introducing her to his grandmother. ‘She’s going to get more than she bargained for’ he tells himself.“Dinner was great, Nana” Richard states, sitting back down at the table. “Be sure to thank Wendy for me.”Evelyn and Richard had a great rel
