Our Secret Identities Chapter 170 – Every Right to Defend Herself
Not long after Simone sent the portfolios; Stuart had come to see her, asking for a statement on Caitlyn’s interview. She smiled at the messy brown-haired man and gave her comment; ‘Angela Berry never took the wellbeing of the models she had under her seriously. I’m glad I was able to sort the situation out from here. It must have been scary and overwhelming being stuck in a foreign country without any support and I was glad I could give her some hope; where she didn’t have that before.’“You give more people hope than you can imagine” Stuart tells Simone, standing up from his seat. “You are working in an industry, if you walked in without your bodysuit; they would laugh at you. It goes to show; you are a fighter and I have seen it firsthand.”Simone rolls her eyes towards Stuart. Inside she was beaming with pride over his words. Stepping from behind her desk, she wraps Stuart in a hug; “thanks” is all she could get out to try and suck the tears from forming in her eyes.“And this is
Our Secret Identities Chapter 171 – He Threw Us Out
Jonathon had been impressed how Simone handled the meeting with Principal Shultz and Mr Stephens; he called Emmett as soon as she left to tell him what she had done. Emmett was waiting to question her about it when they got home. Getting up from the dinner table with the dishes; Emmett asks the question; “Did you really tell Scott’s father you were going to the police station to press sexual assault charges on Scott?”“Yeah” Simone giggles, moving herself into the living area as Emmett cleaned up. “Did Vince tell you?“Jonny called me” Emmett states stepping out of the kitchen, wiping his hands on a tea towel. “He said and I quote; ‘you should have seen her nail Mr Stephens. He was going red in the face because he couldn’t laugh the situation off. She even got up Principal Shultz for allowing it to happen in the school.’ End quote.”“I did what I needed to do” Simone smiles, grateful she taught Jonathon at least; you don’t touch someone without their permission. “Anything happen with
Our Secret Identities Chapter 172 – By Extension, You Are Family
Simone and Emmett woke the following morning to pots and pans banging in the kitchen. It wasn’t overly loud; however, it wasn’t a normal sound they were used to hearing. Getting out of bed and putting on her robe; Simone heads to the kitchen to see what was happening. “Sorry; I didn’t wake you, did I?” Cheryl asks, pouring some pancake batter in a sizzling frypan.“It’s ok” Simone smiles, taking a seat at the counter. “I was due to get up anyway.”“I… Uh…” Cheryl stammers as Emmett comes into the kitchen to stand behind Simone. “I want to show my appreciation for your help by making you breakfast.”“That was very kind of you” Emmett says, moving to the side to sit down next to Simone. “You didn’t have to bother yourself” he adds as Simone nudges her elbow into his ribs, shaking her head at him. “I appreciate the thought; it smells wonderful” he adds, taking her hint.“I told Jon to wash up and get ready for school” Cheryl says, putting a pancake on a plate next to the stove before add
Our Secret Identities Chapter 173 – What Floor Would You Like To Live On?
Heading into town; Simone turns to face Cheryl in the back seat. “What qualifications do you have?” she asks her. She knew she was Paul’s personal assistant; she wasn’t sure if she had any qualifications as they were sleeping together. Her and Emmett thought they may be able to point her in a direction to get a job.“I’m a bookkeeper” Cheryl says as Emmett raises an eyebrow towards Simone. “I know what you’re thinking. I was hired by Paul to do the books. It was a few years before I started sleeping with him and before you say anything about the changes in materials; I didn’t know it was happening until Barry pointed it out to me one day. I covered for Paul and told him it was because the client changed their mind. I didn’t know it was still happening until he went to court.”‘Defensive!’ Emmett exclaims to himself with a chuckle. “My look wasn’t because of your relationship with Paul. Simone was going to advertise for a bookkeeper today. The person she had to do her books decided not
Our Secret Identities Chapter 174 – Cheryl’s Job Interview
Simone, Emmett and Cheryl head to the common elevator for Cheryl and Simone to head to the third floor. “When you get to your office, can you send Tiff down” Simone says, giving Emmett a kiss before he heads to the private elevator. She didn’t have to ask him to explain who they were interviewing for the bookkeeping position. It was a given he would explain the situation to her before she gets there.“Tiffany is my personal assistant” Simone explains to Cheryl, stepping on the elevator. “Since Kat is at the school looking after Jonny and Mattie; I have Vince down here and Tiff is assisting Les today.”“Is Vince a bodyguard too?” Cheryl asks, stepping off the elevator behind Simone.“Yes” Simone answers ushering Cheryl to her office and nudging with her head for Vince to come in behind them. “If you get the position; Vince, Katrina or Jason will be there to escort anyone you don’t wish to be here. Vince, have you met Cheryl?”“Not officially” Vince says, offering his hand to her; whils
Our Secret Identities Chapter 175 – Do You Mind Being Interviewed?
The following morning; Simone and Emmett were meeting with Stacey for another antenatal checkup. They invited Linda to join them this time and Jenny had offered to look after Jake whilst she came into town to see them.“How are you going?” Linda asks, giving Simone a hug at the doorway of the hospital.“I feel like a beached whale” Simone laughs, hugging her back. “And I know it’s going to get worse. I can still move around without waddling too much and I can sit down and get out of a chair with no trouble, not like those video’s you showed us.”“Give it time, you still have 15 weeks by my calculations” Linda giggles as they walk up to the nurse’s station who lets them know to take a seat before they announce their arrival. “Jake was disappointed he couldn’t see ‘cle Emt today. I left him screaming in Jenny’s arms.”“I told you. I’m lovable” Emmett whispers in Simone’s ear as she rolls her eyes at him before taking a seat in the waiting room. “We found an apartment building. It needs
Our Secret Identities Chapter 176 – Claudia’s Not in Jail
Linda followed Emmett and Simone to the office building. Simone wanted to introduce her to all the models, Cheryl and Rachael since she accepted the roll of live-in nanny for Isabella. She was feeling a little nervous and Simone didn’t understand why because she was always an easy-going lady. She put it down to Emmett asking her to do an interview.“And to your right you will see my office” Simone says, in her best impression as a tour guide as Linda giggles next to her. Dropping the tour guide persona; “here, you have Tiffany’s office, and the bookkeeper’s office is over there. I will be making this back office into a small nursery for Jake and Isabella. You can set it up however you want it.”“The space is perfect” Linda says, giving her a nervous smile. “I can put a couple of portable cots, play area with some bean bags. Maybe a sofa or two and a television and DVD recorder with some kid’s movies.”“And through here is a common room for the models to do their work” Simone tells her
Our Secret Identities Chapter 177 – It Wasn’t Her
Sitting on Emmett’s lap to allow everyone else to take the sofa and chairs around the office. Simone introduces Linda to Lester and Jason. “Linda was the nurse you hired for Dad” Simone says to Jason who nods.“Tiff hired her. I just pointed her in the right direction” Jason says with a smile. “What’s this all about?”“Apparently Sylvia isn’t the only person who was released from jail” Simone responds, as Emmett’s eyes grow dark, looking over at Bartholomew. He figured out who they were talking about since Bartholomew was in his office with them.“Claire!” he snaps as Bartholomew nods his head. “When?”“Don’t know” Bartholomew answers, turning his focus onto Linda. “Claudia wasn’t her real name. Her name is Claire Miller. When did you see her?”“A few weeks ago. I don’t understand; her name isn’t Claudia Jackson? Why would you tell Jared and I that was her name?” Linda queries, a puzzled look on her face.“You know how I had to register a name for my masters and doctorate; she registe
