CEO & DOLL
CHAPTER 37

Rose saw Gabriel standing in front of the shophouse.

"Do you want to see him?" Zact asked as he looked at the confusion in Rose's eyes.

"Yes I have to see him, I don't want to avoid him anymore" Rose said.

"Well, I'll go out and go upstairs, you can solve your problems wherever you feel comfortable"

Zact was about to descend but then stopped.

"If you feel depressed you can leave" Zact said before getting out of the car.

Gabriel stared at him, Zact who was walking closer was no less looking at him sharply, the cold suddenly felt as they intersected each other.

Nuna who watched from the inside seemed confused by what was going on.

Zact walked into the store and passed by Nuna just like that when the girl was about to ask him.

Nuna bit her finger as she continued to watch Rose coming down from the car.

Outside Gabriel who saw Rose get out of the car immediately walked over to him.

As the two faced each other the wind suddenly came blowing softly, Rose's hair blowing in the wind made her fall apart and a few strands covered her face.

Gabriel took out a few strands of Rose's hair and at the link to her ear, Rose's face immediately flushed red.

"Follow with me for a moment" Gabriel said as he held Rose's cold hand.

Rose just kept quiet and followed Gabriel who was holding his hand to his car.

The metallic blue sports car is parked next to the Zact car.

Gabriel opens the car door for Rose, hesitating to let Rose into Gabriel's car.

After closing the car door, Gabriel took a breath to calm himself down and immediately entered.

Gabriel takes Rose to a beautiful lake, though not spacious but a lake decorated with colorful flowers and trees makes anyone who comes feel comfortable.

Gabriel took Rose to a seat around the lake.

The two of them then sat staring at the lake.

"Rose" called Gabriel after hesitating for a while.

Rose looked towards Gabriel, as usual he always looked handsome even though his eyes looked tired and his cheeks popped some pimples.

Rose only realized that Gabriel's appearance must be because many of her thoughts about her relationship with him.

"Rose I just want to make sure one last time, if you want me to stop I'll end it with Joanna" Gabriel said resignedly.

Rose felt like she was hit by having to decide what the continuation of this relationship was.

"Why don't you decide for yourself, why should I?" rose asked a little annoyed.

"Yes everything is in your hands, I will do whatever you decide"

Rose then fell silent for quite a while, thinking what to do.

Gabriel could only silently wait and occasionally steal a glance towards Rose.

"Gabriel if I may be selfish then I will tell you to stop, I once thought narrowly at that time by telling you to come even though I have heard your explanation, yes I was selfish at that time, I was selfish at that time,but I should have understood your position right then and there, I cornered you instead, finished what you've been up to, I won't hate you anymore, give her a beautiful love story that doesn't have a second chance at life like me"

Rose's words made Gabriel feel blown away, her tears falling unbearably as well as Rose's.

They both love each other but fate must separate the two.

Gabriel then hugged Rose very tightly making the cries of the two break together,

As if wanting to stop time, Gabriel wanted to hug Rose to the end.

Gabriel took off his embrace and wiped away Rose's tears that kept dripping.

The sudden rain down added to the sadness of the two.

They kissed each other in the rain that fell, as if reluctant to be separated.

"Rose even though we didn't end up together, you know what's inside here" Gabriel said as he placed Rose's hand on his chest.

"Hopefully we can get through the days easily even if it's very difficult at first" Rose said with a smile.

"Hah although painful, I feel a little relieved this ended well".

They then walked hand in hand down the lake under the rainwater which completed their farewell

The sky was dark, Gabriel drove Rose back to the shophouse.

"Stay, you have to change clothes"

Rose said as she reached the front of the shop.

Gabriel thought for a moment before confirming Rose's offer, this was also the last night he was free to meet Rose before his wedding to Joanna.

"Well, do you have a change of clothes for me?" asked Gabriel who was getting cold.

" I'll lend you Zact's clothes" Rose replied.

" Ah looks like I don't need it" Gabriel said

"If you've got that fight, you're no longer kids" Rose persuaded, who succeeded in lowering Gabriel's ego.

They then enter the shophouse and Rose invites Gabriel upstairs.

"This is my room you can take a bath there, I'll borrow Zact's shirt"

Gabriel nodded then walked into Rose's room.

The fragrance of Perfume that Rose used to wear spread throughout the room, making Gabriel increasingly miss the moment of togetherness in the room with Rose.

Gabriel then quickly erased the thought and immediately took a shower.

Rose knocked on Zact's room door, before long the door opened.

"Has he gone home?" ask Zact curiously.

Rose shook her head which made Zact's eyebrows raise next to her.

"You mean don't tell me he's gonna stay here" Zact guessed in a slightly loud voice, Rose then pushed Zact in and closed the door.

"Hey ... You're getting naughty huh" Tempta Zact who instantly got a pinch from Rose on her stomach.

"God ... (Zact's screams are directly silenced by Rose)"

"This girl is really scary, are you guys making up?"

Rose nodded with a mysterious smile.

"WHAT!!!" Shouted Zact surprised.

"Yes we're better, but we're ending it all" Rose said with a forced smile.

"You guys are really confused, aren't you cold like this?"

"Yes, I came here because I wanted to borrow your clothes for Gabriel"

"Hey!! why my clothes !! there is no !!" said Zact put on an annoyed face.

"Zact ... If you lend me your shirt then I'll accept your offer to join your agency" Rose said as she played her eyebrows shaking Zact.

"Aiiissshhh well .. take it there, but you must keep your word"

"Hmmm ..." Rose then picked up Zact's pajamas and immediately walked out of her room.

Rose then prepared the clothes on the bed and took her clothes in the closet and immediately took a bath in Nuna's room.

"Tok .. tok ..tok "Rose knocked on Nuna's room door.

He opened the door quickly and directly pulled Rose into the room.

" What brother was standing this afternoon Gabriel Rowen??" ask Nuna with her enthusiasm.

"Yes you're right" Rose java with a voice trembling in the cold.

"Is she sister's boyfriend?? if yes, sister Rose is really lucky" said Nuna non-stop.

" Nuna can I take a bath first, I'm cold and I have to take a shower and change clothes"

"ok ok "

When she was about to enter the bathroom, Nuna stopped her.

" Sister I can't wait to hear brother's story, so take a quick shower ok" persuaded Nuna who immediately ran away after Rose glared at him.
