CHAPTER 24

We were back in Odelia’s cabin, and this time Emily was doing all the talking. When she was finished explaining about the documents that had mysteriously found their way underneath her pillow, Odelia said immediately, “That sounds like the work of the same person who’s trying to discredit you in the eyes of Harry’s parents.”

“I’m not so sure,” said Emily. And she told Odelia about Matthew Brown, and the mysterious phone call she’d overheard. “He clearly wasn’t happy that I was standing there,” she said. “So now I’m thinking he could be the one who put Steven’s documents in my cabin. I mean, who else could it have been? If it’s true that Steven kept them locked in his safe, who else except his private secretary could have access to that safe? I don’t know the combination, and I’ll bet nobody else on board does either. So either Steven planted those documents to make me look bad in front of Harry, or his secretary did.”

“It is possible,” said Odelia thoughtfully. “If Steven’s secretary is up to something, and you caught him doing something Steven isn’t supposed to know about, he might have put those documents in your cabin to discredit you. So that when you mention his phone conversation, Steven simply won’t believe you.”

“It’s the only thing I could think of,” said Emily.

“Leave it with me,” said Odelia. “I’ll look into it.”

“The worst part is that Steven told Harry that he’s having second thoughts about allowing us to get married. And even though Harry says he’ll marry me whether his parents agree or not, I’m not sure if that’s such a good idea.”

“No, I don’t think so either,” aid Odelia. “But I’m sure it won’t come to that. If Mathew Brown planted these documents in your cabin, we need to expose him. And when we do, Steven will be so grateful he’ll only be too happy to give you his blessing.”

“Or maybe he’ll be so upset he lost his secretary he’ll blame the whole thing on me,” said Emily sadly.

“You can’t think like that, honey,” said Odelia.

“Frankly at this point I don’t know what else to think.”

“Our witness is sad, Max,” said Dooley. “We have to cheer her up.”

“Not really,” I said. “Our job is to protect the witness, not cheer her up.”

“I still wonder what she witnessed,” said Dooley musingly.
