Bill had things that he needed to arrange, Kiara would be back in a few short hours and he wanted to get things set up in the guest bedroom for her, to make it like how she would want it. He had already had everything set in motion, ordered the necessary items and they were already delivered upstairs and he had several of his day staff already working on it now, he had ordered some final touches to make it feel like she never left home. It was a good thing he had a very photographic memory. He was casually and quietly sipping away on his blood as he continued to type away on his computer to have things all set up.
"Your majesty?" a quiet voice peered in through the crack in the doorway.
"Please come in Marie...What can I do for you?" Bill asked as he shut off his computer screen.
"Your majesty, I don't wish to impose and I don't wish to question your abilities. But is Ms Griffen staying here?" he asked.
"Yes, Marie, she is staying here, and will be indefinitely unless i say so. Why? Do you have a problem with Ms Griffen?" he asked curiously.
Marie took a hesitant step forward and closed the door behind her, very uncertain of how he would react.
"Sir, she betrayed you. She hurt you, I have never seen you so upset. You have been so happy these last few weeks, all the staff have noticed it. I jut don't want her to hurt you anymore" she said offering a smile.
"Marie, what I do in my personal time does not concern you or the other staff. But i thank you for your concern. But she shall not be going anywhere" he said, his voice in a much sharper tone.
"Of course your majesty, i only wish for you to be with someone who loves you for who you really are, a true gentleman. You are kind, handsome and a very loving person...I do apologize sire, it is not my place to say those things" she apologized.
"Thank you Marie, now I do have somethings that i must attend too" Bill smiled as he watched Marie curtsy and then leave him alone.
He had found it curious that Marie would be so out with him, she had never displayed that kind of tone with him before and he found it really odd. He had felt something from her that he had never felt from her before, a warmth. He knew that she looked up to him in some way, he had taken her on because of her impressive skills that she came with. He did not need another new thing to deal with. He just hoped that things would be ready in time for when Kiara arrived home.
