St we need more hangers happy

Christmas welcome to Bellis spurk

coutour I'd like to speak to the lady

where she is really I believe I saw her

ducking into the back when I came in yes

just uh Bella our newest client would

like to speak to you found those hangers

yeah oh hello hello uh Mr Brown what a

surprise what can I do for you I am

going to put these hangers

away is this about exchanging the Sleep

garment you know you didn't say exactly

what you wanted and so I so you took the

liberty to give me a dose of holiday

chair you won't

Rong I want to apologize for my borish

behavior I was exhausted from a long day

of travel topped off by the airlines to

losing my luggage however that is no

excuse for my rude Behavior I sincerely

hope you all accept my apology it's

completely unnecessary but I I really

appreciate that Mr Brown Sten please

okay uh you know we have a line of men's

sleepware that you might prefer no your

choice was uh was quite comfortable

slept better than I have in months oh

I'm happy to hear that

oh I must take this pardon me yeah of

course hello

Cory yes cor well it's the first

Christmas Lon I've hosted on this side

of the PN in 7

[Music]

years well he's

cute good okay very good good man thank

you well we'll have to figure something

out well my diary is filled with me

meetings and dinners and oh

dear I forgot about my plus

one what am I 12 just because he's

handsome with a cute accent I mean I'm

interested because I'm

not besides I think he lives in Europe

anyway and he's probably not single why

are we having this conversation I have

no idea you started it I did not yes you

did he's

[Music]

coming right so it appears that my

luggage is gone completely Mia I see

that you offer personal styling services

and I'm in need for the week will your

wife or your girlfriend be bringing you

the luggage when you find it no I don't

have

either oh I'm booked for the week

completely

completely I would be happy to help what

exactly do you need well it's somewhat

complicated perhaps you'll allow me to

explain over a holiday latte oh I can

take the store

I'd be happy too brilliant get my coat

have you been to England no but I've

always wanted to go I do watch the

baking shows please allow me oh thank

you so you're a baker no no I I watch

other people bake I'm afraid I have more

fails than successes well I'm sure it

tastes just as

good so I have a two-fold business

proposition for you as I mentioned my

luggage is gone missing and I have a

full week through the 23rd business

meetings lunch receptions dinners and

such do you need outfits for each event

yes I generally stick to Grays and

blacks so not too much fuss there okay

what's the second part let me preface

this by saying this is strictly

professional and platonic I find myself

at a loose end uh after having replied

that I'd be bringing a guest to several

of these events wait a minute so you

need a date an official plus one right I

will compensate you for your time of

course look I I appreciate the offer but

I have a full week of client

appointments right sorry it was

presumptuous of me to have assumed that

you were not otherwise engaged with your

work or your own holiday plans and my

holiday plans involve the

boutique but regardless it's this it's a

bit of an unusual request it is yes but

I'd prefer to avoid all the questions I

know that I'll be receiving from well-

meaning friends and acquaintances if I

show up alone and you think that if I'm

there that somehow yes of course of

course it would help me

tremendously I mean I guess if I moved a

few things around in the schedule I

could probably perfect we have a deal

then you'll dress me and you'll be my

official plus one for the week strictly

professional of course of

course

[Music]

deal he wants gray and black suits with

white shes but I want to give him a pop

of color for the cocktail party see this

would bring out his eyes eyes he has

green eyes does he yes there's a purely

professional assessment of my client's

Iris pigmentation thank you very much I

know it's not a date but what are you

going to wear it's definitely not a date

I'm I'm his plus one buddy but we still

want you to be the bell of the ball look

I'm just there to help him avoid

uncomfortable conversations and make

some extra cash this is not some Fairy

Tale starring Prince Charming just

because your ex-boyfriend was more of a

frog than a prince doesn't mean they all

are is this because it was accent maybe

yeah okay I got to get this packed up

and I want it to look nice I will

deliver it I want to see this amazing

estate for myself you go home go get

ready thank you for you not date

[Music]

date thanks to your Association we've

reached nearly three times as many

communities as last year wow that's

fantastic I I'm so

happy hey hi glad you could make

it wait a minute that's not the shirt I

paired with that suit no I know the one

that you said was a little bit too

flashy for my liking flashy cuz it

wasn't

white flashy that's microelastic

polyester bright Floral Pattern print I

dare say that's not my style either no

no I like you to me Jeff Jamie the

co-directors of the universal Endowment

for children Bella is is my well she's

my buddy hey

buddy we're so sorry lady Sydney

couldn't make it I I saw the article uh

have you tried the ures they they look

amazing you're okay though yes yes I'm

fine um you know how these things get so

massively up down especially in the

media how about a selfie

[Music]

H oh the mayor just arrived

oh excuse

us what was that all about well you see

actually the Spanish Ambassador would

like to meet you I'll bring him right

back yeah yeah sure of course on you

[Music]

mhm so how do you know his grace his

what his

grace Stephan he didn't tell

you he's the Duke of

tford I he's been all over the tabloids

recently which is why he doesn't have

photographs I mean I can't say blame him

but excuse me I promised my kids I'd say

good night just one

[Music]

moment so you're a Duke did I fail to

mention that uhhuh

[Music]

yeah

Bella are you all right I'm embarrassed

well I can't exactly just drop in I'm a

Duke into casual conversation without

without sounding extremely pompous how

am I supposed to help you if I don't

even know who you are I probably

violated a million Royal etiquette rules

no not at all I assure you I'm sorry I

should have told you I was a Duke and

that you don't allow photographs no

candid photos

anyway would you like to be free from

our rangement

no

a deal is a deal right right good

then

buddy

[Music]

Duke turns out he's a Duke and didn't

bother to tell me a Duke he does have a

commanding type of Royal heir about him

so there I was you know completely

clueless doing everything wrong it was

not cool well I take it you told him to

find another Plus one for this week you

wouldn't be lying if you said you were

swamped with other clients yeah you know

it looks good for us to have such a

high-profile client and the extra cash

will be great for my mobile styling

truck and I won't need as big a loan

from the bank supposed to hear from them

today what are you looking at I'm

curious even if you

aren't Duke of shattered Hearts his ex

Eris Sydney spotted with champion rugby

player you're Duke's full name is

Stephan William Francis Brown you're not

my duke right he's your

buddy one in five vote to relieve tford

of his dukedom can they do that no that

requires an act of parliament wow

they're just making stuff up to hurt him

it says here that he strung the Aris

along for 3 years and then callously

broke up with her over the phone well

that doesn't sound like

him I

mean but how awful to have your personal

life exploited in the the tabloids I can

only imagine what my headline would have

been professional stylist and boutique

owner blindsided last Christmas when her

boyfriend moves to Central America and

tells her he isn't coming back Bella you

deserve much

better yeah oh he seemed too good to be

true and he

was is that the bank no it's Benjamin

the Duke needs a tie and festive

accessory for a last minute event

what time's Danielle getting here oh I

can handle it yeah here you

go Bella stylist to the Royals just try

not to end up in the tabloids

uh-huh tell me more about this event you

just added to my calendar you said it's

just down the road the Christmas pancake

breakfast benefiting the snowy Crest

Family charity it'll be good publicity

to counteract the current stories about

you right right yes though a worthy

charity either way um refresh me on the

details you'll take one staged

photograph with a vetted event

photographer in Fes of attire understand

copy that yes with people watching your

every public move it is especially

important that everything go flawlessly

this

week hi thank

[Music]

you thank you

[Music]

there you are welcome to tford house

your home in England must be incredible

if you'd rather live there than here

yeah this was my father's favorite

estate it's absolutely beautiful well

thank you please have a seat than

sir and what have you brought

okay so I have a few tie options with

pocket squares of course uh this is a

nice bold red this one I like it's got a

little bit of a sparkle Sheen to it this

will do the blue yes of course right

okay for the festive accessory now it

was kind of last minute but I was

thinking that a festive pin could be fun

if you're lapel these are adorable they

light

up you don't have to light them up but

um it's it's an option if you want to

festive accessory not necessary right oh

okay then you probably wouldn't be

interested in the uh Santa hat either

for what purpose you know I'm not sure

but I figured everyone needs a Santa hat

right do they

now well

yeah do you not own a Santa hat no of

course not well you should take it

just really just take it to where have

one have have one I mean just than sure

okay good thank

you well um look I know this is not a

part of your responsibilities for the

day but um would you be so kind as to

accompany me uh to a last minute event

uh I'll even throw in a pancake

breakfast

yes well who doesn't love pancakes huh

right yes yeah yeah sure okay yeah I can

do that okay

first everyone needs a center heart

right

right you're right I'll just grab my

jacket and then we'll be

[Music]

off on behalf of the snowy Crest Family

charity as a token of our thanks for his

patronage I would like to present the

Duke of tangfa with this gift of our

very own finest maple

syrup thank you

Christine

wow I am honored to be a part of this

incredible

organization I'm very happy to announce

that next year we plan to completely

renovate the local

park time and again it has been proven

that outdoor play and nature benefits

family members of all ages both

physically and mentally in addition

has been known to greatly enhance

students academic performances as well

as encouraging positive self-esteem in

everyone who

participates please enjoy your pancake

breakfast popped off with this

delightful maple

syrup truly thank you for being here

today it really means a lot thank you

for having me Christie and for this

delightful small batch Maple I shall

have it with my pudding upon return to

England and give my best to Doug and the

girls oh can we get that photo now yes

of

[Music]

course

are we learning anything new a maple

syrup candle I'm learning more about you

really yeah that was a nice speech how

many organizations are you involved with

I'm involved at different levels with

several dozen Charities both at home and

internationally I also manage my own the

Tang for trust I saw that on the

itinerary so is the Duke's Christmas

lunch on the 23rd is that like the

trust's biggest event of the Year all

right you assume correctly however this

year things are not looking so good why

is that well if the guest list gets too

low won't be good for appearances to

host the event better to not have it at

all than to risk looking unpopular oh

yes when you have a title Everyone is

always watching

you waiting for you to do something

wrong nothing is more important than

Duty and honoring your family's name as

my father used to say service and Duty

before self I heard this daily from

early childhood and I can't imagine you

were the rebellious type no not at all I

respected my parents far too much to

bring any shame on our family I can't

imagine your family being anything other

than completely proud of you it's very

kind of

you oh fancy some fresh air sure

[Music]

excellent I love the

countryside I grew up in New York City

did you know yeah yeah in a small

apartment surrounded by

concrete you know even though we didn't

have a lot of material things and a lot

of what we did have was hand-me-downs we

really had fun we used to build snowman

in the middle of the sidewalk and then

of course I would style them with my new

hand me- down accessories fashionable

snowman I thought so the neighborhood

kids didn't always agree you know you

can't let other people's opinions of you

get in the way of living your best life

right living your best

life no I I don't think I've ever built

a snowman wait what you've never built a

snowman afraid not did you listen to

your speech play in nature benefits

physical and mental health

[Music]

mhm come on what are you doing the

correct question sir is what are we

doing sorry what are we doing I'll show

you

oh this is perfect for his

nose here we go

hey he's still missing something yeah he

is because everyone needs a Santa

hat that is

true

are there you go not bad for your first

a

Snowman

you know in that coat you bear striking

resemblance the Little Red Riding Hood

without the hood precisely yes well it's

a good thing you look nothing like the

big bad wolf are you sure yes no oh that

character scared me as a child I mean to

be fair I scare

easily

Stefan oh sorry

seriously I am I'm going to get you back

for that you can

try yeah you ready ready for

this so you're right trying to take time

with

Duke huh you legit scared me I know

you're very proud of yourself aren't you

I am rightfully so and I do believe that

Mr the Snowman here go right I don't

think so I don't hear him talking hello

I believe he does hello

great I should have known better that

was utterly careless of me what do you

mean you can't trust the paparazzi they

find out where you are and they sell

your photos to the highest bidder who

makes up a fine story to go along with

you were building a snowman at a charity

event we can't say anything bad about

that you'd be surprised we should get

back you have a long drive and it be

getting dark

soon okay

[Music]

which one do you like more well it

depends on the client your Stefan I

thought he already has a suit for today

he does but his super Thursday just came

in and I thought one of these might live

at this afternoon meeting and want to

run it over there I just I want his

wardrobe to reflect who he really is you

know charming and dynamic this one this

one what okay he hired me to be his

stylist and he's paying me well it's my

job it's my duty in fact to make sure he

looks his best and that that is true for

every one of my clients is this the last

of it by the way cuz I should I should

probably get on the road soon no you go

I got this I have a few minutes okay I

have been seeing a lot of articles about

his breakup with Sydney he is being

painted in a pretty bad light I just he

just never seems to defend himself fith

why are you reading that stuff because

it keeps showing up in my feed well I

hope you're not believing any of it

look he may not always be the warm and

fuzzy type but he does not deserve

whatever negative things they're saying

about him he he's good

guy well you do know him better than I

do I'm sure you're right I say this as

an objective Observer observing him yes

you're are very objective I am objective

I I look I I have a good perspective on

him I'm I'm there witnessing him a

witness to the handsome face yes I'm

going to I'm I'm leaving goodbye oh

you're so

flustered

hello Bella you're early I was just

about to text you is this a bad time no

it's all right that'll be old Benjamin

Grace thank

you may I of course yes I trust you

brought a suit yes but first I thought

this could add a little holiday joy to

your meeting this

afternoon who's Lady

Josephine I'm sorry that that is not of

my business I am I'm so sorry it's all

right please have a seat

a friend um and I would be vehemently

objecting to this if my meeting hadn't

just cancelled ah okay I brought the

suit that we talked about but I couldn't

help but bring an option

okay pin stripes it's still

business-like but with a little flare

lots of flare yeah let's just stick to

the original would you try it on though

cuz it's not today I'm telling you I

have a picture in my head and it's going

to look great on you

I'll just leave it here excellent that

would be great um I do apologize for you

any Fallout from the Snowman building

gate not as yet uh unfortunately the

other headlines are far more

riveting yes oh I ought to get some work

done yes me too yes me

too I I just I couldn't help but notice

that you don't have a Christmas

tree right well I suppose Benjamin

didn't see the need the Duke's Christmas

luncheon is at a Lovely Hotel and then I

fly back to England the day after on

Christmas Eve still now Christmas tree

the week before

Christmas I'm betting you never picked

out your own Christmas tree oh that's a

wager you would not win however it has

been many many years you know I can't

imagine many photographers would be just

hanging out waiting for you to pick the

wrong tree no not on this property you

Christmas trees is growing here yes more

than you can imagine can you take a

break well my family's estat has been

around for hundreds of years I don't

suppose a few hours would hurt

anything shall we fetch a Christmas tree

yes okay

good all right jly good off we

go taking out the Christmas tree was one

of my favorite family traditions growing

up I mean it was in a tree Lot in the

City not an enchanted forest like this

but uh it was so much fun my brother and

I we would find the biggest tree in the

lot and my dad would protest and pretend

that he wants a smaller tree but he'd

always let us

win and we come home with our tree and

my mom would make her famous hot

chocolate that sounds lovely now why is

it

famous oh no she's famous to our family

oh well she okay so she would melt

chocolate chips with a little vanilla

and cinnamon and butter and hot and mil

and it was oh

Divine what about you any favorite

family holiday traditions well yeah

Christmas

crackers every year at dinner before

pudding what you call

dessert I would open a mine and I I

would always receive a diecast car and a

massive collection and when I went to

school my mother donated them to local

children's hospital she didn't ask you

first no of course he did and I agreed

they'd be put to much better use bring

joy to some children rather than sitting

on my shelf you know service and Duty

before self yes exactly did did you hear

something yes perfect timing Benjamin

behind you what do you up to well you're

not the only one with some fun family

holiday traditions a tradition your dear

parents enjoyed very much each holiday

so tell me did you always want to be a

stylist Yes actually even before my

fashionable snowmen I used to love

putting together outfits and accessories

for my dolls thank you and then for

friends and family used to charge 10

cents an outfit oh really a born

entrepreneur what was your first

job my first job was in a department

store my favorite part was when people

asked me for help help as in matching a

jumpo with the scope yeah but mostly it

was about helping people figure out what

looked best on

them when people feel good about how

they look it's it's just amazing what it

does to boost their self-confidence now

I got to tell you I love watching my

clients just open up and and boldly face

the world with their best foot forward

so this is your passion it is and and

I'm so grateful I started my Boutique

after college out of my apartment and

now I've got my store and I'm working on

expanding my business to include a

Mobile stock styling unit and what does

that in okay so I want to buy a huge

wardrobe truck that I can drive to my

clients and not just for my regular

clients's convenience but also for

therapeutic purposes too Mobile retail

therapy is a thing yeah actually I

volunteer at a senior center and you'd

be amazed at the joy that that a new

necklace and scarf or a bow tie and

shirt can bring I want to do that for

more centers and hospital patients you

know a little little style to lift their

Spirits sounds brilliant don't you agree

Benjamin yes when did you saw oh um well

[Music]

you that would be Connie excuse me yeah

sure

hello oh okay well if the Christmas

party is down to that for you perhaps we

better cancel after all

no of course I don't want

to yes okay go ahead cancel the hotel

than you I'll call the remaining guest

myself everything okay sure yes we've

just had to cancel the Duke's Christmas

lunch and after all what what why the

guest list is dwindle too low apparently

no one wishes to be associated with me

for fear of negative

publicity that's absurd to you it would

seem so but not to my associates back in

London who are supposed to be flying in

for the

event why not have a party

instead you forget those people have a

big party instead invite all your

friends and Associates from here in

America you know just a lot of people

just a ton of people invite them all and

show everyone reading those articles how

wrong they've been we just canceled the

hotel and it's too late to secure

another venue how about tank for house

it's not that far from here it's

beautiful and you got the space it's

impossible the only room suitable is the

salon and that room is closed well

they're 4 days till the 23rd that's

plenty of time to open it and clean it

up and get it ready I said it's not an

option my apologies it's just it's not

an

option okay sorry I was a

suggestion um if it's okay I think I

might I might head back to the boutique

this event is basically done and I'm

just swamped uh clients waiting for me

[Music]

thanks Miller wait

please yes I won't explain properly you

don't owe me any explanations I'd feel

better if you

understood what is

it I told you that my father loved tford

house it was his favorite of all his

Estates but it was my mother who looked

forward to the tidings in tinel

Christmas

party which she through every year in a

salon she felt ill when I was

10 she never

recovered my father he he closed that

part of the

house and no one I mean no one has been

in there

since I'm so sorry I I didn't know after

that party just became a small Christmas

luncheon in the

hotel it's been that way ever

since I told you that I hadn't been the

tank for us in 7

years it's been much longer since

I've there is no expiration date on

Grief and everyone honors their loved

ones in different

ways honor

yes perhaps it's time I bring back the

want is that what you want yes yes yes I

want to bring back some real Christmas

cheer to tford house the way it used to

be when I was a

[Music]

child um sorry and you'll help right you

can stay in the guest room and so you

need have to go back and forth every day

I mean I I would love to but I I don't

know if I can I'll pay you double your

usual rate that's not

it

better please

[Music]

I'd be

honored thank

you okay shall we get back

inside

sure wait so you're moving into tford

house the guest house okay okay what are

you thinking well you it's just easier

than driving 3 hours every day

perfect um you know this private

secretary and other staff are actually

flying in on the Redeye tomorrow morning

for a Christmas party yes the tidings

and tinsil Christmas event it's going to

be amazing it is happening this is

happening we are doing this it's going

to be

great it's going to be

[Music]

great Bella are you okay H uh yeah it's

it's a lot asking you to hold down the

fort by yourself this close to Christmas

it's okay our clients might not be

okay I don't know if this was a good

decision

but seemed like the right thing to do

this is your business and I am here for

you thank you besides didn't the Duke

say that he would pay you double your

rate mhm that fee could go a long way

towards a mobile styling truck and I can

handle things I think

if it comes to it you could always send

one or two of our clients to Stacy

Styles down the road let's just take it

one day at a time besides I am happy

that you are spending some time with

your Duke when are you leaving first

thing in the morning

yeah you think a lot of people will show

up for his event I mean it's pretty

short notice how often do Americans get

invited to a royal Christmas party that

is

true okay I think I have everything he

needs Bella do you have a dress uh no I

forgot about myself why am I not

surprised maybe one more tie I do have

the perfect dress but unfortunately it

doesn't come with a pumpkin to turn into

a coach well it's a good thing this

isn't a fairy tale ball

then are you sure you deserve

happiness my happiness will come from

expanding my business a mobile truck in

several States and maybe a few

international stores okay well you just

call me if you need me m you are the

best I know that is why you love

me I'm going to go get you to that dress

right oh thank

boxes inside thank you again ah you made

it's lovely to meet you it's wonderful

to be back here at tangit house oh

Benjamin yes thank you I really must

thank you for helping us with the party

whatever I can do to help now your grace

I have made arrangements for your

luggage to be shipped here once it

arrives from wherever and hopefully

before the 23rd the cleaning and

decorating crew are finished in the

salon wing and preparations have begun

for the party the guest house has been

Reed and George is making your favorite

roasted chicken for lunch oh excellent I

told you there is no person on the

planet more efficient than corny why

don't we get you settled if you don't

mind I would like to show Bella the

guest home myself oh absolutely enjoy

thank

you right shall we yes okay okay yeah

how was the drive it was great Once Upon

a Time these were the original horse

stables but my great-grandmother had

them renovated into a guest house these

were Stables yes back in the day it was

typical for guests to stay for a month

or more but my great-grandmother wanted

her guest to have plenty of privacy you

know I'm Sor sorry sorry it's quite all

right okay are you all right

yes

oh my goodness this is beautiful it's

like like out of a story book you'll be

all right here I may never go back to my

apartment in the

city just just kidding

hello the ladyes bags I delivered the

clothing boxes to your Grace's chamber

thank you so much ah Connie hopes that

you're finding everything to your

satisfaction please tell her it's

amazing I will if you need anything you

have my contact yes thank you thank you

Benjamin this is

beautiful what would you like to see

next the rest of the house or the

grounds um the grounds the grounds it is

okay it's like your very own Winter

Wonderland yes my mother and father used

to walk the grounds holding hands that's

so romantic would you bring all your

girlfriends here uh dated a few and uni

but no one special enough to bring to

tford house and Sydney she uh she didn't

like the cult she preferred mayorca

sentral pay for holidays until last year

of course when she decides she want to

make a name for herself in America and

she's the one who pushed after lunch in

New York this year if her goal was

social media Fame she certainly

accomplished it sorry about that's been

hurtful

um I'm sure you've seen the Articles oh

I don't believe half of what I read

online as it is really good for you

truth is we were never really well

suited you know Sydney preferred a bit

of drama in her life and I'm not the

most dynamic personality as you've

likely noted bit more stay and set in my

ways

um okay first of all you're awesome and

second of all a lot of people think that

stability is actually a

strength my ex he was he was

unpredictable and spontaneous did you

and he leave it on good

terms I'll let you be the judge last

year two weeks before Christmas he

cancels our dinner plans his reason he's

moved to

bise your partner moved to another the

country without telling you

yep what a

louse louse that's a good word for him I

like that thank you yeah this is after

he talked about us looking at engagement

rings and really yeah

unbelievable sorry that you experienced

that it's okay do you want to keep going

sure I'd love to see The Stables yes of

course after

you I mean I should have known better

than to trust

him looking back he was all

talk oh may I yes of

[Music]

course

words without actions to back them up on

meaningless speaking of meaningless talk

why don't you defend yourself against

those false tabloid accusations you know

tell them the truth it's a rule my

family has always followed neither

complain nor explain it only makes you

look defensive we prefer to keep our

heads down and remain

neutral right

sh thank you Ellen a magical horse

friend a magical

place yes oh look at that Connie must

have found it in one of the boxes and

hung it up is it yours well I made it

for my mother as a Christmas present the

year from 7 she would sit out here with

her tea and watch for

Birds she loved

Cardinals such a thoughtful gift from a

seven-year-old she must have loved it

well thank you my dad and I would sit

out here and watch with her do you have

a favorite book Turtle

does festive Choice yeah why do they

call them Turtle does I wonder they're

Birds they're not Turtles well actually

the word tur is Latin for bird and that

Latin word comes from the sound that

these doves

make I I think that's the only reason I

was cast is a turtle dove in the middle

SCH Christmas play I would like to see

that but you're adorable well I didn't

forget my lines

anyway sorry that ridiculous sorry no

not at all perhaps this is a sign that

I'm doing the right thing bringing back

the tidings in tinel Christmas party to

sangford house

isn't it a little bit shall

[Music]

we may take a cat thank

you right yes there it

is is that yes that's the

salon

magic look at that I can see why this is

your mother's favorite

[Music]

time this this

was this was my mother at the tidings in

tinel Christmas party many many years

ago yeah

it's is this you ah

yes I was uh quite fashionable back then

wasn't I you were adorable what happened

I don't know perhaps I ought to stop

wearing short pants and ankle socks

again oh yes but I'm actually partial to

the buckled walking shoes myself no

worries there I still own a pair maybe I

should start stocking them for all my

VIP clients excuse me I thought I was

your only one well you're my favorite

VIP client if that makes you feel better

yes it most certainly does thank

you wow you know the salon

feels lighter what's happier than I

this

Grandma

the Joy from all the parties and dances

that must have been held

here still

how to

Graves no not at all what is it I I I

hope you understand this will likely

take the rest of the day no problem EXC

I'll see you later thank

dances with all the ladies and all sorts

of ballrooms and no he

doesn't there must be so much to do to

tray sent to you and you can help me

later sort out party favors okay

great one more thing reach your leg

before you shift your waight and be sure

to point your toes on the side

[Music]

steps

hey how are things there how are our

clients well Violet wasn't thrilled that

you're gone even if you are working for

a royal so she went to Stacy Styles and

so did Danielle oh this this was a

mistake I I'm not even sure why I'm here

I mean I'm having fun but Bella you are

allowed to have more in your life than a

successful career I won't be successful

for long if I lose more clients we need

that consistent cash flow for the bank

loan approval well once the Duke settles

his account would that make the loan

officer happy uh depending on the timing

of everything yeah probably and and that

that is why I'm here that's why I'm here

it's a lot of hours it's a lot of cash

well stop enjoy yourself I mean who

knows maybe we'll have to change the

name of the shop to Duchess Bella

Spark's Couture no no don't don't don't

even go there no just just because I

really enjoy his company and he's

incredibly handsome with impeccable

manners and we share a dance because you

know why wouldn't that happen it's just

it doesn't mean anything it doesn't mean

anything I and I can't risk going down

that path again with another man who's

going to up and move across the world

without giving me a second thought why

are we having this conversation the Duke

isn't your ex but but you Shar a dance

with him yeah oh uh I got to go call me

if you need anything no no no don't hang

up don't hang up how was your day great

great great I'll come back for the tray

later but now I am to escort you to

Connie in the dining room yes good I'm

here to help I

[Music]

think okay thank you

[Music]

so how long have you worked for the

tankr

family oh uh going on 36 years wow

that's a long

time you'll find most of the staff are

loyal the late Duke and Duchess they

were the kindest most generous

people I assume it's the same with

Stefan oh he is a delight to work for

yes treats us all like

family what was he like as a

child oh uh he was uh Delight Charming

oh and very responsible yes I only

remember one occasion where he was ever

scolded by his parents really mhm W

what'd he

do all right when he was uh around 8

years he saved all his pocket money and

brought home some 20 dogs from the local

pound yes well they trampled all over

his mother's prize roses chewed his

father's shoes that suffices to say they

were not house broken broken oh my

goodness this darling little boy he

informed his mother and father that as

his First Act of Charity he would find

new homes for all the dogs and that's

how tford animal rescue was

born I love that

story you

know you wouldn't meet a a better man

than the

you kind loyal

honest

hardworking sounds too good to be

true that's well he's been through a lot

lately Sydney's betrayal hurt him quite

deeply she had promised him that she

would not speak publicly about their

relationship

wow how does how does anyone trust again

after betray like

that I believe you simply have to be

open enough to look at each new person

with fresh

eyes and trust yourself but you'll

handle whatever may

come it's good

advice well speaking of advice I never

thought the Juke would open up tangit

house again

and bring back Tiding and

[Music]

tinsil you know I understand that the

Duke won't speak publicly about the

negative tabloid stories but I just I

just wonder if there's a way to get some

positive publicity for him with the

tidings and tinsel event my dear

wouldn't that be

lovely I I must

say it really does warm my heart to see

stepan smiling again uh he seems to be

more open

joyful whatever you're doing my

dear keep

doing the red ones are the

[Music]

best
