Emma and Oliver were shocked when they heard Isabels suspissions.
"I'm not really sure how many people are involved,but we can't wait anymore.You are the only ones I trust in WAZ.WAZ was our youth,our hard work,we can't let it be ruined by other peoples greediness."
Oliver asked.
"What do you think we should do?"
"If it was me who suddenly asks for all the finacial records for the last 2 years it will be too suspisious." Then Isabel turned to Emma. "Emma you're the head of the financial department.It will be easier for you to have access.Anything that might not look right with you,just present it to me.No matter how small,it could be extremely useful."
Isabel turned to Oliver.
"You,Oliver since you are in the marketing department,you know better about the distribution locations. Give me a record of the countries we have distributed our product for the past 2 years."
Emma and Oliver both nodded.
"When do you want this information?" asked Emma.
"As soon as possible please.I know it'll be a lot of work and maybe even dangerous,but we should end this before we get even more involved.Then it will be harder for us to get out of this mess.And don't forget"Isabel stared at them with a seriousness both had never seen before. "Never trust anyone there,never!"
Emma and Oliver looked at eachother and then nodded.
"The most I'll need is a week since I'll have to search for the information myself." Said Emma.
"About mine it will be less than a week,since nobody would doubt if I look for those records.We usually check them when we discuss our strategy anyway."
"Perfect.We'll meet here again when your information is ready.And please be careful."
When they were waiting for Isabel to come with the car.Oliver asked Emma.
"Why didn't you tell her?"
Emma looked down at her flat belly and gently stroked it.
"You know she would never ask for our help if we did.She needlessly worries for everybody around her and puts them before herself.We'll both tell her after we help her."
Oliver put his hand on top of the stroking hand.He then put his forehead on her forehead.
"My beautiful wife is so caring." He then rubbed their foreheads together. "But please don't strain yourself and ask for my help."
"You've already been doing enough with everything."
"If it's making it easier for you,then it's nothing."
Isabel was watching the couple from afar inside the car.She kept tapping on her steering wheel and guessing when to interfere since she didn't want to ruin the mood.Isabel rested her head on the steering wheel and sighed.She remembered the days she would be waiting like this somewhere so she could let those two have their moments.
In Emmas and Olivers relationship start at least 40% of the contribution was from Isabel.Leaving in the rain to leave them alone,setting them up together on dates,making them work together on assignments,trips etc.Emma was a serious person, expressed her true self only with people she trusted,boys were scared to approach her since she had ruthlessly rejected a few.Oliver usually didn't mind taking the first step,but with Emma's reputation and hard to read combo,he was scared of rejection and only decided to stay as a friend.As a third party Isabel felt their fireworks much sooner,at first she thought that everything would be put to the right place if these two interacted and understood eachother better,but after a few months of painfully watching on the sidelines,these two rarely interacting,regressing rather than progressing,for the sake of her mental wellbeing,she decided to play cupid.After 5 months of hard work finally they her ship sucsessfully sailed.
But on the other hand she felt slightly bitter when she thought about her relationship with James.Seeing the dark cloud forming again Isabel shook her head.That action felt like it could also shake away her gloomy thoughts.After waiting a few minutes Isabel drove to them.
"Get in lovebirds.We can't be late for work.As your boss I can't tolerate that."
"We're coming,we're coming!"
"Geez Isabel,couldn't you read the mood a bit.We were at the best part."Oliver complained while getting Emma in the car first.
Isabel looked at him.This man had the audacity to say this to her.Didn't she give them enough time to rub their faces together?
She rolled her eyes.
"Just get in." and then they drove off.
Isabel then asked. "Do you want any coffee to take to the office?I'll be getting some for everyone since I arrived today I already have everybody's order,you're the last."
"I'll get the usual and for Emma,get her ginger tea."
"Emma?Tea?Emma?" Isabel furrowed her eyebrows full of confusion and disbelief.Isabel knew better than anyone that Emma was a coffee drinking monster.Her switching to tea?Hah.That was the second most ridiculous thing she had heard today.The first one was 'I love you' by James this morning.
Seeing Isabels reaction Emma didn't know if she should be touched that her friend knew her habits so well,or scared that she was suspicious so she tried to cover it up.
"Yeah.My blood pressure has been too high lately and the doctor advised me to take as little cafeine as possible."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah,I'm fine.You know we're in our thirties now,we gotta be careful with our health."
"You're right."
…
The two hours had already passed and Jessie had come knocking at Hannah's door again.This time security and the police were there.
When Hannah saw the group of people in the monitor she didn't open her door,but only sweared and yelled at the to go away.At first the men who came two hours later decided to solve it peacefully and tried to reason with Hannah,but they were only greeted with swears.
Jessie finally ran out of patience. "That's enough!Just get somebody to open the door!I don't care anymore!Grab her and throw her away with all her things!And make sure I never see her face around here!I don't want my eyes to be stained by her!"
After 1 hour the door was finally opened.The policewomen entered and tried to get Hannah outside,but she started kicking,hitting and biting at them.The policewomen didn't wanna be too harsh since if they did something to celebrity,they might be praised now but who knew later on,how Hannahs situation could turn out.Finally they harmlessly pinned her down and handcuffed her hands in front.
Jessie saw the dieshelved Hannah that looked like a cavewoman.She was more dissapointed than satisfied.To think she considered this madman her rival.People really needed to be put in hard situation if you wanted to really know them.
"Miss Jessica,we'll also need you to file the report so please come with us." Said the only policeman around.
"Is it really necessary?"
"Yes,it is."
"Well okay then."
The people outside managed to recognise the two rival models and it wasn't long before a few started to get closer.Hannah tried to lower her head,but she secretly glanced at the people around and then far away she saw her.The last person she wanted to see.
Isabel was curious and glanced at the commotion.She looked at the dishelved handcuffed woman and slide her sunglasses on her head.That person that looked like an escaped patient from an asylumn was Hannah?Isabel couldn't believe that.She had really let herself go.
Hannah tried hiding her face more but she knew she was recognised when a few people whispered her name.
"Say it outloud!Why whisper!Say it to my face!" Hannah yelled at the crowd.The people were confused and looked at eachother.
After days of staying hidden inside alone,without comfort,Hannah was in the verge of losing her sanity.Now she was seen in her most humiliating moment by not only a crowd,but also the people she hated.She felt like everybody around was looking down on her.Calling her names,cursing at her,laughing at her.
Jessie snorted when she heard Hannah yelling at the crowd.She really wasn't letting a way out for herself.Jessie's snort broke the thin string that was holding Hannah back.
Snort?This ***** actually snorted at her?!
Hannah saw red and all her humiliation,anger,frustration kept pouring like water from an open dam.
Caos emerged and everybody in the crowd started yelling screaming,but nobody bothered to interfere.Hannah who had finally lost it was pulling Jessie's hair infront of everybody.She kept kicking with all her might while swearing and screaming.
"You actually dare snort at me!You actually dare curse at me!Do you know who I am!Do you know!"
Jessie tried to break from her while yelping because of the pain,but it was no use.Her hair was tangled with Hannah's handcuffed hands.The cold iron left brusies and scratches on her scalp and forehead.
The policewomen and the men around managed to break them appart,but Hannah hadn't vented herself completely and started hitting them too.Finally,forced,the policeman used strength to pin her down,handcuffed her hands on her back and got her in the car.
Tears of anger were sliding on Hannah's cheeks as her gaze followed Isabel who looked at her indifferently while she made her way to her car.
That day the headlines all were "Supermodel Hannah Williams,previously involved in a cheating scandal,attacks her rival supermodel Jessie Anderson".
