CEO & DOLL
CHAPTER 45

All the cameras were glaring at Rose, Gabriel who was watching the live broadcast of the last concert on his laptop was shocked by Zact's words to propose to Rose.

Gabriel's sharp eyes stared at the screen unblinkingly, Zact and Gabriel's hearts were both racing to each other waiting for answers in different places.

Zact hopes Rose accepts him and will not make him bear the embarrassment in front of his parents, relatives and fans.

On the other hand Gabriel hopes that Rose will reject Zact.

A crew led Rose up to the stage, spotlights following Rose all the way to the stage.

Rose's radiated beauty was clearly visible under the stage lights.

Zact held Rose's hand and held her hand tightly.

"Rose tonight, among the thousands of pairs of eyes that witness us, I propose to you with the deepest sincerity, I will be a shield in every grief that afflicts you,I do not promise to give you happiness in the world but I will try every day to give you happiness"

Rose stood in silence in confusion, she lowered her head not daring to stare at the thousands of pairs of eyes that saw her.

Zact touched Rose's chin and raised his head.

"Rose answer whatever it is I will accept it without disappointment"

Rose thought hard she didn't want Zact to be disappointed as well with the people who loved her.

the child in his stomach also needs the figure of a father as well as a name.

After hesitation, Rose nodded in agreement, everyone clapped, and Zact's mother cried.

Nuna hugged Camila everyone was happy.

At first, Zact hesitated to hug Rose, but she finally ventured to embrace him.

Flower petals falling from the ceiling of the stage rained down on the two of them.

Gabriel who watched the broadcast felt like he was struck by lightning, his hands clutching until his knuckles turned white.

He threw the laptop in front of him with tears falling.

In her marriage Gabriel touched Joanna only twice and after her pregnancy Gabriel chose to sleep in the room that Rose had lived in.

Although he never came into contact with Rose again, Gabriel still often noticed her from a distance.

In the banquet room Zact and Rose entered hand in hand, the family who had been waiting for them congratulated.

Because Rose did not want a big engagement, Zact proposed to her officially that day in front of her family and closest friends.

"Rose thank you for receiving Zact" said Zact's mother as she hugged Rose, Zact's mother was shocked as Rose's protruding belly felt as they hugged each other.

"Are you pregnant Rose?" Ask Zact's mother to watch Rose's stomach.

"Ah mother yes I have not told mother" replied Zact interrupted the conversation, Rose who looked confused to answer finally silence.

"Is she okay" he asked as he held Rose's stomach in worry.

"yes she's fine mom, come on we're sitting, Rose must be tired and feeling hungry" Zact said as he helped Rose sit in her chair.

"Look Clarkson I'm going to be a grandmother" Zact's mother said as she hugged her husband, Zact and Rose immediately felt guilty seeing her mother so happy with the pregnancy.

"Anna look at the two of them, don't they look very compatible?" Said Camila who was approved by Zact's mother.

"Camila you're right, they have good visuals, I think later if their child is born it must be very funny and adorable" said Anna (mother Zact) excitedly.

They enjoy a happy dinner while Gabriel starts drinking after hearing Rose accept Zact's proposal.

Rose, who was staying at a hotel and sleeping with Nuna, woke up in the middle of the night because her phone was ringing.

Rose the laborers gushed her cell phone and carefully went out to the balcony to answer Gabriel's call.

"Rose" The sound of Gabriel's voice calling out to him in the voice of a drunken man.

"why are you like this?" rose asked unhappily to see Gabriel who was often drunk.

"Are you with your bodyguard?" rose began to worry.

"Hm ... Rose why did you accept that scoundrel's proposal" Gabriel said in a voice filled with sadness.

"if nothing matters I hang up the phone" Rose said

"Why don't you answer me?"

"Gabriel I want to be happy too!!! do you ever think about how you feel when you see news about you and Joanna?"

"So this is how you repay me?

"YES!!! and congratulations on your wife's pregnancy, you did well!!!

Rose then ended the call, she stared at the quiet night sky with no stars adorning her.

Her tears fell down her cheeks, Rose did not expect that her anger would just explode.

He who had been trying to hold things back all this time ended up disappointing each other.

Gabriel stared helplessly at the phone screen, ordering drinks and getting drunk all night.

although the bodyguard had reminded him but Gabriel did not want to listen to him at all.

It was dawn when Gabriel couldn't bring his bodyguard home immediately.

Arriving at the house of the bodyguard put him to sleep in the guest room and did not want to disturb his master's wife.

The bodyguard gasped for breath after carrying Gabriel, he sat in the living room to rest for a while before leaving.

Daisha who accidentally saw him came to her with slow footsteps.

"Is master Gabriel drinking again?" ask Daisha worried.

"Yes ..is even worse than before"

"Jeez .. does this have anything to do with Rose's proposed news?"

"Hmm and the master contacted him and ended up in a quarrel"

"i'm so sad to hear that, do I need to get you some water to drink?" bargain daisha who saw the bodyguard was exhausted.

"No, just get on with your work, if I need anything I'll take it"

Daisha then left the bodyguard alone and continued her work.

In the morning Rose and Nuna prepare to return to Rushamb, Zact will catch up with them in the next few days.

Rose who could not sleep all night looked very tired.

"Are you not getting enough rest??" Zact asked after seeing the black ring around Rose's eyes.

" It was that I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep anymore" Rose replied as she looked for her sunglasses.

"What are you looking for"

"I was looking for my glasses, but I don't know I forgot to bring them"

"Zact then took off his glasses and put them on Rose"

Rose's flushed face received such treatment abruptly.

"Sister Zact don't you see me here?" nuna Whine

"Ah you are so tiny that you are invisible" Zact joked.

"Well you guys make me like a mosquito here" said Nuna who made the two laugh.

"It will be later if I go back to Rushamb, I will bring something for you" said Zact who immediately made Nuna happy.
