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 just to wake you up when we went to Paris." She said, "Because I was jet lagged. Just you wait and see Beau Bax, I'll be ready first." She stuck out her tongue at Beau, looked at Carls, and said, "You believe in me don't you Carls" and Carls said, "I believe that you can do anything you put your mind to accept waking up on time Miss Marigold." She pouted saying, "You guys have no faith in me." Beau chuckled and said, "We do have faith in you, we just know what it takes to wake you up and it takes a lot, which is okay because my princess needs her rest." She crossed her arms and Beau hugged her, saying, "Oh come on, don't pout, you know it's true." She rolled her eyes and said, "It's not true hmph. I'm going to show you two. Just you wait and see, matter of fact I'm going to wind down right now and get ready for tomorrow." Beau said, "Alright my princess we'll leave you to wind down." Carls asked, "Should I prepare dinner for you Miss Marigold?" She answered, "No, thank you Carls. I just want to wind down, take a hot bath, and go to sleep. I'm tired." Beau said, "Princess, it's not healthy to skip meals. You're going to make yourself sick." She said, "Beau, you worry about me too much. I'll be okay I promise and I'll be up and ready for tomorrow." Beau said, "Okay my princess. Well we'll leave you to rest, call me or Carls if you need anything," and Beau and Carls left the room, closing the door behind themselves.
Beau and Carls began walking down the hallway and Beau said, "Make her some dinner, she's going to be hungry later even though she doesn't want to admit it." Carls said, "Okay, but Master Beau, are you sure you want her to come with you to work?" Beau thought to himself, 'I know why Carls is concerned… I would be too but I'll watch her like a hawk and make sure… I'll make sure nothing happens… That she doesn't get into any trouble.' Beau said, "Yes, she wants to come and I don't want to tell her she can't because I'm worried." Carls said, "But Master Beau with this charity event coming up you know that there's bound to be trouble and I know you don't want Miss Marigold to get caught up in the midst of it. I worry that something bad will happen to her. I worry something bad will happen to you." Beau said, "I understand why you would be worried… A part of me is worried too. Especially after everything that's happened in my past but… I'll watch her like a hawk, I won't allow anything to happen to her… I will protect her." Carls said, "Master Beau I don't question your will or your ability to protect Miss Marigold. I know when it comes down to it you'll protect her at all cost and you won't let anything happen to her when you're around but I worry for the times when you aren't around. What may happen to her then Master Beau? You can't always be there with her." Beau said, "But I will. I will be there with her and I will protect her." Carls said, "Master Beau with all due respect you can't be everywhere at once. Remember what happened with Trad… You can't always be there to protect her and it is in those times when you can't be with her, that I worry for her and her safety." Beau said, "I understand Carls but I can't keep her locked up in the house and she wants to go. I'll have to be extremely vigilant in watching her and keeping her safe but I'm sure when it comes down to it she's a firecracker and can take care of herself. I'm sure nobody will try to do anything to her other than the paparazzi being annoying but that is to be expected." Carls said, "Just do whatever you can to keep her safe Master Beau, don't let him get close to her in any way." Beau thought to himself, "Carls is right. If she's going to come with me I have to make sure I watch her at all times to make sure nothing happens and I have to protect her from that man." Beau said, "I won't but worse scenario I'm sure he's not bold enough to do anything. Worst thing that'll happen is probably some snarky, sneaky comments but I expect that because she's beautiful but that's as far as it'll probably go. The man isn't crazy, he wouldn't dare. He doesn't have a death wish." Carls said, "And that's another thing. You must control your anger. One thing happens to her that makes her uncomfortable and you're ready to knock some teeth in." Beau said, "I have to defend the woman I love." Carls said, "Defend, yes. Murder, no. If something does happen that makes her uncomfortable defend her at all cost but don't do something that will wind you up in prison Master Beau. Control your anger, don't let it get out of control. Don't let your anger take you to a place of no return." Beau said, "I won't, I'll protect her but I won't go too far. I'll have my anger under control." Carls said, "See that you do Master Beau. You can't afford bad publicity either, not before the charity event. You can be angry and you can defend her but if the situation does not require you to be violent don't act in violence." Beau said, "I'll keep my anger under control and I'll protect Marigold. I won't allow my anger to overtake me but if he tries something with her all of that calmness is going out the window." Carls said, "See that you try everything before it does. Don't allow him to push you to do something that will ruin your reputation. He's been trying to ruin your reputation since the business became more popular than his own. He wants you to crack, he wants to see you do something that will make you seem like a monster. Don't give him that chance." Beau nodded, saying, "I won't. I know all his games… I won't let him push me."
Beau went to his room, thinking to himself, 'I have to hold what Carls said in my mind. I can't allow myself to be pushed to extreme anger by someone who wants me to look bad. I won't let him get a rise out of me… I will keep my anger in control but I will also protect my wife.'
The hours rolled by and soon it was 7am.
Knock, knock, knock, knock
Marigold heard knocking at her door. "Come in," Marigold said. Carls entered the room, see Marigold dressed in a peach blazer that's sleeves were scrunched up to her elbows, a high waisted pencil skirt that's color matched the blazer, a plain white dress shirt, white heels, a peach pearl necklace, and matching pearl earrings, and her hair styled in a loose curl hairdo. He said, "Good morning, Miss Marigold. Did you sleep well?" She said, "Yes I slept great and look I woke up on time." Carls chuckled and said, "Yes you did. You have shocked me Miss Marigold." She laughed and Carls glanced at her bedside table, seeing an empty plate. He said, "I take it that you go hungry last night." She said,"Yes I was so hungry and the food was just calling my name. It was delicious by the way." He said, "I'm glad you liked it Miss Marigold." She asked him, "So what do you think Carls? Do I look like a business woman," and Carls smiled, answering, "You look beautiful Miss Marigold. You look like a professional business woman. Master Beau will not be able to keep his eyes off of you." She said, "I hope so, I'm trying to look classy but catch Beau's attention." Carls smiled and said, "Oh, but once upon a time you didn't want Master Beau's attention. You couldn't even stand him looking at you. What changed?" She said, "I found out how sweet and loving he really is. I mean I started to notice things I've never noticed about him before. How caring he was, how sweet he is, how amazing of a person he is. He's like something I've never seen before." Carls chuckled, saying, "If I didn't know any better I would say that you're in love with Master Beau." Her face turned red as she looked away and she said, "M-Me in love? I-I…. I-I." "Wow you look beautiful," the voice of a man said. Carls and Marigold looked at the doorframe seeing Beau standing there wearing a dark blue blazer, white button up shirt, dark blue dress pants, white sneakers, and a platinum watch. Beau walked up to her, grabbed one of her hands, and said, "You look stunning. Just so breathtaking." She looked away, smiling, and saying, "Thank you Beau. I was trying to make sure I looked business like." Beau said, "You look more than just business-like, you look like a supermodel." She said, "A super model? Once upon a time you laughed at the idea of being a model let alone a supermodel." Beau said, "What me? Never. You are the most beautiful, the most stunning, a jewel. You look amazing and have always looked amazing." She smiled, rolling her eyes, and saying, "Thought it but never said it." Beau said, "I know it sounds silly I guess we're just one in the same." She felt her cheeks turning red and Carls said, "Master Beau it's almost 7:30." Beau said, "Oh yeah, that's right. My princess, you are so distracting to me. You make me lose my train of focus. We have to get going." She said, "Hang on," walked over to her closet going inside, grabbed a white quilted handbag, and walked out of her closet standing in front of Beau and Carls. She put the strap of the purse across her shoulder, saying, "Alright now we can go." Beau said, "Okay my princess let's get going. We have to leave directly to the office so we're on time." She said, "Hey what about my breakfast? I had hoped we're still getting coffee because I need my morning coffee and breakfast and I woke up early." Beau said, "We would if we had time." She said, "Who's fault is that? I was up and ready." Beau sighed as a smile came to his face and he said, "Alright a promise is a promise. We'll go and get coffee but we have to hurry. Now my princess let's go."
