Disarming a Timed Bomb

"For my secretary had requested my patience. Do you see how faithfully I adhere to promises? Am I not a commendable employer?"

Uttering these words, he embraced Marigold tightly once again. "Thank goodness I have returned. Otherwise, had I heard of the ship's destruction by a bombing, your demise at the hands of the frigid coral-infested sea, I fear I would have lost the will to carry on."

"Regardless, I do not wish to witness your demise. Furthermore, this event is hosted by the Bennett family, aboard a vessel belonging to the Bennett family. How could such an incident occur?"

His tender yet resolute voice grew increasingly solemn.

"I immediately utilized a satellite phone to contact the Royal Rescue Team. They shall arrive within half an hour."

Thus, her sole focus should be on defusing the bomb.
