7 hours later URRRRR URRRRR BURRRRRR URRRR URRR BURRRRRR URRRRR URRRR Beau's phone alarm went off waking him up. He sat up in his bed, grabbed his phone off the bedside table, and turned off the alarm. He looked over at Marigold seeing her wrapped up in her covers, still asleep, and thought, 'She looks so comfortable, I don't want to wake her up but we have to go, we can't be late for our flight… I guess I can give her a few more minutes of rest while I finish packing up everything.' He pulled the covers off of himself, swung his feet down to the floor, and stood up while stretching out his back. "Uh I'm so tired," he whispered. He walked over to the dresser that was in the hotel room and finished packing up everything that belonged to them in their suitcases. 20 minutes passed and he finally finished packing everything up. He walked over to his bedside table, grabbed his phone, and looked at the time. '7:00am we're right on time,' he thought. He put his phone in his pocket, walk
Marigold looked at Beau and said, "What's behind the door? Is it more clothes?" He chuckled and said, "Why don't you open the door and see what's behind it." She put her hand on the door's golden door knob, looked back at Beau, and said, "I'm nervous." He laughed, asking, "Why are you nervous? Do you think it's something bad?" She answered him, saying, "Not something bad per say. It's just surprises make me nervous." He said, "Well don't be nervous. You should love what I got for you." She turned around to face the door, took a deep breath, and cracked open the door. Errrrr Errrrrr Urrrrrrr The door squeaked. She felt the door push open a bit and she felt something rub up against her leg. She jumped back into Beau's arms, burying her face into his chest, shouting, "What was that?" He looked down at her, chuckling, saying, "Take a look." She turned around and looked down, seeing a white kitten laying on the floor. She looked back at Beau, saying, "Beau you didn't." He chuckled, sayin
Beau looked at Marigold and she said, "So will you take me to your office so I can learn more about you." Beau said, "If you really want to come with me to my office we can. Whatever makes you happy my princess." A smile came to her face and she said, "Awe Beau I can't wait. I'm sure your job is interesting." He chuckled, saying, "It's more paperwork than interesting but I am in the middle of getting things ready for a charity event so if you want you can sit in on the meeting." She said, "I can't wait, what should I wear? Are we suits or casual? He chuckled, saying, "Dress in business attire. Tomorrow we have to leave by 7:30am so Carls please make sure my princess is up and ready to go. If you get done early and we leave out by 7:10 we'll stop and get coffee." She rolled her eyes and said, "I know how to get up by myself Beau. I'll be ready, matter of fact I'll be done earlier than you." Beau chuckled, saying, "My darling, you madam can't get up to save your life. It took everything
25 minutes later…Beau pulled his car up to the front of The Bax Company building. He glanced over seeing Marigold swaying back and forth, sipping on a 20oz dark chocolate frappe that had whip cream and a chocolate drizzle on top of the whip cream, through a blue straw. She looked at him, smiling, and he said, "I hope you're happy." She said, "I'm very happy, thank you Beau, or should I say Mr.Bax Jr." He sighed while smiling, asking, "Why would you call me Mr.Bax Jr?" She answered him, saying, "Because you're the boss and isn't that your professional title?" He chuckled, got out of the car, closing the door behind him. He glanced over to the front door of the building, seeing the valet standing by the front door, behind his (the valets) stand. The valet waved to Beau, saying, "Good morning Mr.Bax Jr." Beau waved back saying, "Good morning." The valet walked towards Beau saying, "Mr.Bax Jr. I see that you're late today. You are almost never late. It's unlike you. The whole building is
Fress had golden tan skin, light blue almond shaped eyes, and light brown freckles throughout his cheeks and the bridge of his nose. He had his dark brown, medium length, hair done in a curly quiff hairdo, and he was muscular. He wore dark blue jeans, black loafers, a white long sleeve button up shirt, a solid blue tie, and had his fitted serge colored blazer open. His teeth were bright white and sparkled in the light and he had a stubbly dark brown beard and mustache that went around his pinkish bow lips. He cracked a smile at Beau saying, "It's not very gentleman-like to talk to a lady about someone else don't you think Beau Bax." Beau sighed, saying, "You're right. I'm sorry I should be minding my manners, especially in a professional setting." Fress walked up to Marigold and she asked, "Aren't you the CEO of The Sio Company?" Fress chuckled, saying, "That I am. I take it that you're a fan of my work?" She smiled, saying, "Of course your designs are amazing. I mean last season doi
Fress put his arm out towards Marigold asking, "Miss Kelp, shall I escort you to the loveseat?" She looked down and Beau glanced over at her thinking, 'If he doesn't stop pushing himself on her I'm going to lose my cool. I'm trying to keep it together for Marigold's sake and for the sake of the company but he's really pushing it." Beau grabbed her hand, put her behind him (while still holding her hand), and said, "The loveseat is only a few steps away; she doesn't need escorting." Fress gritted his teeth, smirked, and said, "You're right but I was just doing the chivalrous thing but if you think she should walk on her own maybe you should let go of her hand and stop jerking her around as it's impolite to do so." She felt Beau begin to shake through his hand and she thought, 'Fress really has a way of pushing Beau… But what does he gain by making Beau upset? What does he gain trying to tear him (Beau) down in front of me? Why is he (Fress) doing this?" She let go of Beau's hand and sai
As Beau and Fress rode the elevator down Beau said, "We go down and you apologize. You say nothing more than an apology. Nothing more." Fress said, "Bossing me around like a child isn't going to get your way Beau Bax." Beau said, "I mean it Fress. You've already caused her enough distress. Don't cause her anymore. Just apologize and be done with it." Fress said, "The only one here causing her distress is you. You've been speaking for her like she can't speak for herself and I find it strange that she agrees with everything you say. It's like she can't have a thought of her own because of you. You seem so controlling. You can't boss everyone Beau. Your money can only take you so far." Beau stood in front of Fress, facing him (Fress), gritted his (Beau's) teeth, and said, "Listen you want to insult me, that's fine. You want to bicker with me, alright. I can play games with you and I can handle myself. I don't care what you think about me but you will not disrespect Marigold, you underst
While Fress was inside making a phone call, Beau and Marigold were standing in front of The Bax Company entrance. Marigold crossed her arms, looking down, as Beau looked at her. He sighed, thought, 'He distressed her. Fress really distressed her. I can't stand seeing her that way,' and he said, "Hey where do you want to go? It's my treat." She mumbled, "Home, I just want to go home right now." Beau sighed, walked over to Sam, and said, "Bring the car around for us." Sam glanced over at Marigold asking, "Is everything alright with Miss Kelp?" Beau said, "Yeah, it's just a hard day." Sam left to get Beau's car and Beau walked back over to Marigold thinking, 'I wish there was something I could say to her to make her feel better, something that I could do. The way Fress distressed her, the way he made her feel… It's unacceptable and I'm going to lose my mind.' He stood in front of Marigold, looked behind her, seeing Fress walking out of the building, putting his (Fress') phone back in his
