Our Secret Identities Preparing for Lester’s Surprise
“Is Lester and Vince coming back tomorrow?” Simone asks Emmett as they walk into Bon appetite; one of the high-end restaurants in Rocky Valley. “We need him here for Sunday. They are booked out at the best of times. We both had to pull strings to get a reservation for tonight and Sunday.”“Mr and Mrs Spencer” Georgina the Maître D calls, coming over to the pair. “Your table is ready” she adds, giving them a menu and walking them through the restaurant to their table where a waiter was waiting to push Simone’s chair in.“Thank you” Simone smiles, taking her seat as the waiter places her napkin on her lap.“Georgie; when you have a spare moment; can you and Ricardo come to see me. We have a favour to ask” Emmett smiles, taking his seat opposite Simone.“Sure” Georgina says, heading into the kitchen.“He will be here. I’ve told Vince, bring him back kicking and screaming if he has to” Emmett explains, glancing down at his menu. “They only went out of town to check out a business opportun
Our Secret Identities Caitlyn and Lester are Home
The following morning; Lester and Vince had just landed at Rocky Valley airport. “Was it worth the trip?” Emmett asks over the phone.“Somewhat. They are worse off than we originally thought” Lester responds, collecting his bag before heading into the terminal with Vince. “Their whole structure needs remodelling and the chief editor is being ignored by the board of directors.”“Let me guess; Bald old men, smoking a cigar and drinking a brandy who think they know what they are doing?” Emmett chuckles down the line.“Pretty much” Lester laughs as Vince walks ahead of him through the terminal doors. He notices Vince nudging his head to the side and glances over to see who he was signalling.“Why is Jason and Beck here?” Lester asks Emmett down the phone; eyeing Jason and Beck walking away with a woman in front of him. He could only make out the top of the lady’s head because it was concealed under a scarf.Emmett closed his eyes at the other end of his phone. ‘Damn it; her plane must hav
Our Secret Identities Chapter 90 – Surprise, Happy Birthday
Simone and Emmett spent Sunday morning lazing around the house. Simone messaged Lester a happy birthday with a reply, ‘yeah, yeah; I’ll see you tonight lol.’“Cait’s heading to the restaurant in an hour” Simone tells Emmett as she puts a navy-blue maternity dress over her head. “She said she spoke with Les this morning to wish him happy birthday.”Caitlyn and Simone had been messaging one another the little white lies they told and conversations they had with Lester over the last two days. It was to keep up the charade she was still in London. “Lester will be here soon. I know him; if I didn’t get him to come here, he wouldn’t go” Emmett tells her, putting on his tie.“Let me” Simone states, tying a Windsor knot in Emmett’s tie. “I use to tie dad’s all the time.”Smiling at her handywork; the doorbell rings. “It’s showtime” he says, giving Simone a kiss before heading out of the room for her to finish her makeup.“Where is she?” Lester calls out, marching to the bedroom. Emmett stares
Our Secret Identities Chapter 91 – Joseph’s Crime
Lester, Emmett and Simone waited for Caitlyn to head back to the table to resume their dinner. “I’ll see what’s keeping her” Simone says, getting up from the table. She had only been gone for 5 minutes, but she needed to go to the bathroom and thought she could fake it.“You’re pregnant. If you need to pee; just say I’m going to pee” Lester chuckles, taking a sip of his wine.“I need to pee” Simone huffs, poking her tongue out at him. “And I’m going to see what’s keeping her.”“How long have you known Caitie was coming back early?” Lester asks, now the women were away from the table.“Since I called to invite you for a birthday dinner” Emmett states, a smug look crossing his face. “This was their idea; I helped put the idea into motion” he adds as Lester glares at him.“Why did she come back early?” Lester asks, thinking the worst.“She missed you and called Simone to get her out of the interviews and photoshoot” Emmett states as the two girls come back to the table. He thought it was
Our Secret Identities Chapter 92 – Guilty of Fraud
The next day; Richard was waiting for Emmett to take him into the courthouse. Paul’s court case for fraud was that day and Richard was a witness for the prosecution. “How do you think Paul is going to react to you being a witness against him?” Simone asks, coming out of the bedroom, dressed for work.“Does it matter?” Richard queries back to her. “Mum is in jail because of what she did. Dad is going to join her because what he did. I don’t really give a shit what he thinks or how he would react.”Emmett walked out of the bedroom at the end of Richard’s sentence. He didn’t blame Richard; he felt the same way about Paul and Sylvia. “What time is the hearing?” he asks, taking a seat on the sofa to put his shoes and socks on. Emmett was heading to the courtroom as a representative of Lester Drake Media.“9am” Richard states, looking at his watch. “We should get going?”“I’ll come and see you in your office as soon as it’s done” Emmett says, giving Simone a kiss as Tiffany messages to say
Our Secret Identities Chapter 93 – Emmett Takes the Stand
“Which would you prefer; Mr Drake Spencer or Mr Emmett Peterson” Judge Glen asks Emmett; looking at his notes.“In this case your honour; I would prefer Drake Spencer as it refers to my business” Emmett replies, taking a seat on the stand and giving his oath to the bailiff.“You bought the business from Mr Paul Peterson?” Judge Glen asks Emmett.“I did” Emmett answers bluntly.“Did your feelings towards Mr Paul Peterson play a part in your decision on buying his business” Judge Glen questions.“It did not” Emmett replies, not offering more insight to his decision.“Please tell the court, why you decided to buy Mr Peterson’s business” Judge Glen queries, looking at Emmett.“I bought it for my brother” Emmett replies, giving Richard a small smile. Richard wasn’t shocked; he spoke with Simone about this very subject. Emmett was confirming what she told him.“I don’t understand” Judge Glen states, turning to look at Emmett. “You bought a business out of the blue, for a brother you had not
Our Secret Identities Chapter 94 – I Didn’t Call the Meeting
Emmett had come into Simone’s office in a good mood; “I take it the court hearing went well” Simone says, giving her husband a peck on the lips.“More than that” Emmett smiles, grabbing Simone around the waist and planting his mouth on hers, pushing his tongue in. Breaking free from the kiss; “Paul has to pay Peterson Properties to fix all the client’s buildings and renovations” he adds.“And you are happy Paul has to use Peterson Properties to fix the issues?” Simone questions, raising her eyebrow at Emmett. The last time she saw him like this was when they were young. Time and Paul had worn him down, so much so; she didn’t think she would see this side of him again. “I am; but that’s not why I am happy. I am happy I have a brother” Emmett exclaims, giving Simone another kiss. “A proper brother I can banter with. A brother I can stand side by side with. A brother I can celebrate with.” ‘The plot thickens’ Simone says in her mind. ‘I can’t taste alcohol, only coffee.’“Did someone la
Our Secret Identities Chapter 95 – Richard’s A Director
“You will need the pre-requirements before you are officially a member” Jack Harding voices from his seat. He normally doesn’t care or voice his opinion as Lester and Drake are good businessmen. He feels some of their decisions lately are based on emotions than business. “May I ask, Oliver; why did you choose Richard?”“Most directors are made up of family members; I have my father, brother and brother-in-law on mine. We were fooled by Nathan and Paul to believe Drake’s relationship with his father was a good one. Besides putting Rick as CEO of Peterson Properties; we saw him at Drake and Leona’s wedding, Richard stood beside Drake as a groomsman. That told me he was a trusted ally to Drake. It was only fitting to ask his brother” Oliver explains as the other director’s nod their acknowledgement.Emmett and Lester were concerned it wasn’t a unanimous vote to have Richard on as director; however, they couldn’t worry themselves with it. There positions as CEOs of Lester Drake Media beca
