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
Our Secret Identities Chapter 178 – I Will Not Have You Stab Anyone Else
The following morning; Bartholomew, Simone, Emmett, Vince and Tiffany head out to the countryside in Simone’s SUV. They thought it would be easier and safer for all of them to go together. “Bart if you don’t stop flirting with my wife; I’m going to throw you out of the vehicle” Emmett yells, pulling Simone closer to him as giggles escaped her lips. “And the car won’t be stopped when it happens.”“And when he does; I’ll stop the car and kick your ass if you don’t stop flirting with mine” Vince spits over his shoulder.“Flirting is all I have, since I can’t have either” Bartholomew snickers, pretending to pout. “Ok; Ok. Jealous much?” he includes as Emmett tries to grab him and open the car door at the same time. “I’ll tone down my flirting. I never really did it before Claudia came into my life. I only started, hoping it will get rid of her. I haven’t learnt where to draw the line because she only got worse.”“The line was crossed when you got into the car” Emmett murmurs as Simone rol
Our Secret Identities Chapter 179 – Confronting Claire Again
Emmett, Vince and Bartholomew went to the café, where Linda told them she saw Claire. They had sat down in a secluded table away from the rest of the café, however could still see the counter and front entrance. Vince was facing the front door to see if she would show up. “You’ve been awfully quiet for a change” Emmett remarks to Bartholomew turning to look at the doorway as someone walks out.“You haven’t been vocal much yourself” Bartholomew banters back, taking a sip of his cappuccino. “To be completely honest; I’m not looking forward to seeing her.”“That makes two of us” Emmett states, turning in his chair as he hears the bells of the front door ringing again. The longer they waited the more nervous he got. “Show time” he murmurs as Bartholomew turns to look at Claire moving to the counter.“Wait until she sits down. I’m going to stand at the door so she can’t leave and Emmett; you go to the counter first and grab a sugar or something. Make sure she sees you; then Bart will follo
