Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 33: Fress Astor
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
Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 34: Impressed
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
Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 35: Disrespect
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
Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 36: Ending Argument
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
Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 37: Who's Jessica
Beau tightened his grip around his steering wheel thinking, 'Of all things, of all people… Why does she have to know about Jessica?' Marigold looked at Beau and asked, "So who is she? Is she someone special to you?" Beau answered her, saying, "She's nobody, she isn't worth bringing up anyways…" Marigold said, "But why does Fress put so much emphasis on her? It's like he's using her to make you jealous. What's your connection to her?" Beau said, "Fress will say anything to try to make me look bad. Jessica isn't anyone to me… She's nobody…" Marigold sat back in her (Marigold's) seat, sighed, and said, "I just want to know who she is…" Beau glanced over at her and said, "Look my princess, she's a nobody… She is no longer important to me or to my life… You are the most important thing in my life anyways." Marigold rolled her eyes, looked out of her window, and mumbled, "Yeah, whatever…" Beau sighed, thinking, 'Maybe I should tell her who she is… I hate seeing my princess so upset like this
Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 38: The Whole Truth
Beau said, "Mom can you give me and Marigold a minute?" Angela nodded and left the room, closing the door behind herself. Beau looked at the tears rolling down Marigold's cheeks and thought, 'I should've listened to Carls… I should've just told her who Jessica was…' Marigold said, "So she was your first love Beau? Your ex-fiance… You loved her didn't you..." As Beau was deep in his thoughts, Marigold looked at Beau with tears in her eyes, saying, "Will you sit there and say nothing?" Beau looked at her and said, "I-I, I…" She said, "I knew it… You have nothing to say." Beau grabbed her hands, saying, "No it's not that I-I, I just don't know what to say." She shouted, "Just say you lied to me. You lied! You told me she didn't mean anything. That she was nothing to you." Beau said, "That's because she isn't anything to me… Marigold please…" She interrupted him, shouting, "Get out! Just get out. I can't even look at you right now." Carls opened the door, walked into the room, and Beau sai
Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 39: In The City
While Beau was out looking for Marigold, Marigold was getting out of a taxi in the middle of the city… Marigold waved the taxi person, 'goodbye,' as she got out and handed him money. She watched as the taxi took off thinking, 'I hope Beau isn't worried but I needed time away from him, I just needed some space.' She began walking down the sidewalk, looking at all the people around her, and thinking about her past. As she walked she kept thinking about Beau and how much she had feelings for him. She thought, 'Why do I care that he lied? I'm supposed to hate him, to hate his guts, yet I can feel the jealousy wash over me. I wouldn't care so much if he were honest but to hide the fact that she was the one who had his heart. That she was his first love, I… It bothers me to my core… Why couldn't he just tell me the truth? Why was it such a big secret? Does he still love her, does he still have feelings for her? Why do I even care if he loves her or not? It's not like I… No I couldn't…' She
Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 40: Spoiled
4 Years ago…In Beau's office were Fress and Beau. Fress sat on a couch chair and chin buried into his hand while Beau sat on the loveseat. In front of them, sprawled out on the table were drawings of designs of different outfits drawn by both Beau and Fress. Fress said, "Alright, we need 2 more designs for the Runway show and then we're done." Beau picked up one of the drawings. The drawing was of a sparkly one shoulder dress that had a tulip skirt. Fress grabbed the drawing from him, looked at it while stroking his chin, and said, "It's a good design, but if we're going to make the dress we need the perfect model to model it." The voice of a woman said, "What about me?" Fress and Beau looked over at the elevator seeing a woman aged 18 standing in front of it. The woman wore a light blue, A-line, knee length dress, and black heels. She had a diamond necklace that sparkled in the light and earrings that matched the necklace. Her thick, strawberry blonde hair was done in an updo with

Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 48: Only For a Moment
As she walked inside of her old home she once knew she looked around her seeing her once vibrant, modern style living room darkened and in shambles. She sighed, taking in the sight of broken furniture, scattered beer bottles, holes in the wall, and pictures of her family broken in their picture frames. She breathed in the air that now reeked of alcohol and trash, thinking to herself, ‘He never changed…’ She pressed her back up against the front door and closed it as she whispered, “It's only for a moment.” She walked away from the door, going further into the house, and began stepping on glass that crunched underneath her feet. Step, crunch, step, crunch, step, clang. She looked down, seeing a golden picture frame underneath her foot, crouched down, and picked up the picture frame, seeing an old picture of herself, her father, and her mother, all smiling at a beach. ‘When did you decide that you were no longer going to be my father? Was it the day mama died… Or were you always like t
Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 47: Birthday Dinner
Inside Beau's room, stood Beau. He went through his closet, going through his suits that hung on a clothing racket. As he went through his suits he felt his phone begin to vibrate. He took it out of his pocket, looked at it, seeing Fress calling, and answered it, saying, "Yes?" "Sorry to call so late Mr.Bax Jr. but while you've been wasting your day away doing senseless, 'Birthday activities,' with your family, I've been working hard on the charity event and need your signature on some contracts for the vendors," Fress snickered. Beau gritted his teeth, sighed, and said, "Send them to me and I'll sign them when I get the chance." Fress said, "See to it that you do. We can't all do whatever we want like you, with no care in the world." Beau said, "Okay." Fress said, "I'm glad you're taking this so nonchalantly. This is why you'll never be a top business man, because when it comes down to it, you can never focus and get the job done." Beau said, "Look Fress I'm not going back and forth w
Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 46: Happy Birthday Pt.2
Marigold entered the kitchen, looking down and smiling to herself. She looked up seeing Angela, Nathaniel, and Carls standing in the kitchen, the cake sitting on the island and a cake knife sitting next to the cake. Angela looked at Marigold and said, "Marigold, we were just talking about you." Marigold walked over to Angela, saying, "Talking about me? What were you guys about?" Angela grabbed Marigold's hands, saying, "How talented you are. I mean, you are full of surprises." Carls said, "Your voice sounds like a beautiful bell, Miss Marigold,"Nathaniel added, saying, "You can paint, you can sing, you truly are a very talented woman. I see why my boy is in love with you. You truly are an amazing young woman." Marigold's face turned red, as she looked down, saying, "T-Thank you, but I-I'm nothing special." Angela said, "Why Marigold Bax, that is utter nonsense." Carls said, "You are very special, Miss Marigold,"Nathianel added, saying, "A woman with talent like yours should put it to
Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 45: Happy Birthday pt.1
Early in the morning Marigold stood in the kitchen wearing a wrap style shirt that had long puffy sleeves and was beige pink colored. She also wore blue skinny jeans, and t-bar style heels. She had her long hazel brown hair up in a high messy bun and wore 14k, rose gold, hoop earrings. She put a plate that had chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, and sausage on it on a metal tray next to a small cup of syrup. She went through the cabinets in the kitchen, found a tall glass, poured some orange juice, and put it on the tray. Carls walked into the kitchen seeing Marigold preparing a tray and said, "Miss Marigold you're up early." She looked at Carls, smiled, and said, "Yes, I wanted to make breakfast for Beau." Carls said, "Well it smells delicious, Miss Marigold. Master Beau is going to love it." She said, "Thanks Carls," stood in front of him, her back facing the doorway of the kitchen, and said, "Now how do I look?" He smiled and said, "You look beautiful Miss Marigold." She said, "Beaut

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding Marigold was awakened by the sounds of her cell phone going off. She slowly opened her eyes and began rubbing them. Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding She listened as her phone continued to go off. She mumbled, "Why is my phone going off," as she reached for her phone that sat on her bedside table. She looked at the time, seeing that it was 4am, and thought, 'Why is my phone going off this early in the morning?' She unlocked her phone and saw notifications from the art websites she posted on. She gasped as she opened one of the notifications to one of the websites, seeing that her painting was sold for 500$. Her eyes widened as she smiled from ear to ear. She jumped out of bed and she began screeching from excitement. She continued to look through the rest of her notifications, seeing that they were commissions for more painting. She thought, '10 commissions and they're all 250 and above, I've got to get painting right away.' She ran out of her room, went to the art

9 Hours LaterKnock, knock, knock, knock The knocking at Marigold's door woke her up from her deep sleep. She cracked her eyes open, slowly awakening. She laid in her bed feeling her body feeling heavy, hot, and weak. Knock, knock, knock, knock She continued to hear knocking at the door but ignored it, as she closed her eyes, feeling her stomach begin to turn sour.She heard Carls say, "Miss Marigold can I come in," but ignored him, feeling pain in her stomach. Knock, knock, knock, knockCarls continued to knock at the door, saying, "Miss Marigold it's time to wake up, you're going to miss your flight." With all the strength she had, she opened her eyes, and mumbled, "Come in." Carls entered the room holding a silver tray in his hands. On the tray there was french toast on a plate, bacon on a saucer, fork and a knife that sat on top of a napkin next to the plate, and a tall glass of orange juice. He said, "Good morning Miss Marigold, did you sleep well?" She cracked her eyes, lo
Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 42: Who's Jessica Pt.2
4 Years ago…In his office at the Bax Company was Beau, sitting behind his redwood desk, holding designs in his hands. He sighed, thinking, ‘None of these will do, these aren’t original enough. The people are going to hate these.’ He tossed the designs on his desk, thinking, ‘Come on Beau. Sales are down by 15%. I have to do something to get sales up and these designs aren’t going to cut it.’ DING The sounds of the elevator dinging filled the air. Tap, tap, tap tapHe heard the sounds of heels tapping against the floor, and looked up to see Jessica standing in front of his desk. Jessica wore a black, peplum style dress, black stilettos, a chunky white pearl necklace, a white pearl bracelet, and had her strawberry blond hair up in a low bun with bangs. He smiled at her and stood up while saying, “Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes? You look beautiful.” She sighed, while rolling her eyes, and said, “I hate this dress. I look terrible.” He walked from behind his desk, stood in front of
Mr.CEO Don't Choose Me Chapter 41: Why
Marigold looked at Beau seeing him siding eying her with no expression on his face. As he looked forward at the road, he tightened his grip around the steering wheel, and said, "So, what did you think you were doing?" She looked down saying, "Beau I-I, I don't know." He said, "How could you just leave without telling me where you were going? What did you think you were doing, all the way in the city, without transportation or any form of communication?" She said, "I know, I should've brought my phone… I just… I was distracted." He said, "What if I hadn't been there to protect you? What were you going to do then?" She said, "I can handle myself Beau, I don't need your protection." He said, "Oh yeah, like you were handling Fress right? You had the whole situation under control." She said, "I did, I can protect myself, you just got in the way before I had the chance to defend myself, you…" He interrupted her, saying, "Marigold this is not the time to play. I'm not in the mood to play gam
