The morning after the shower, Joanna was busy choosing the clothes she would wear, the clothes hanging neatly were like a boutique that had a lot of expensive collections. after trying on some clothes she prefers to wear an elegant suit.

After dressing and dressing Joanna out of the room to go downstairs, she paused in front of the room used by Gabriel, not knowing if Gabriel was sleeping in the guest room.

He went down the stairs and paused for a moment when he saw Gabriel's bodyguard sleeping in a sitting position in the living room.

Joanna immediately came down and approached him.

"Hey why are you sleeping here" asked Joanna who immediately made the bodyguard startled and then immediately got up and stood up.

"I'm sorry My mistress overslept" said the bodyguard, bowing in apology.

"It doesn't matter, but why did you fall asleep here?"

" It was Mr. Gabriel last night drunk and I didn't want to wake the Madam so I took the master to the guest room, so I am on standby here for fear that the master needs me" the bodyguard explained.

"Well, now go get some rest and get another bodyguard to take your place for today" said Joanna, leaving the bodyguard to the guest room.

Joanna opens the door and finds Gabriel fast asleep.

He approached her and sat on the edge of the bed, he noticed Gabriel and was about to touch her but Gabriel was so alert and caught Joanna's hand.

Gabriel opened his eyes and looked at Joanna who was sitting next to him.

"What are you doing here" asked Gabriel trying to get up and sit down, he held his throbbing head.

"I just want to make sure you're okay and this isn't the room above that you're forbidden for me to enter" Hearing Joanna Gabriel's reply, she looked around and realized she was sleeping in the guest room.

"Do you need anything?"

"No, but can you come out? I want to rest " said Gabriel, who was lying on his back to Joanna.

Despite being repeatedly disappointed by Gabriel's attitude, Joanna seems unperturbed by his cold demeanor, because that's what he likes about her figure.

In the afternoon Joanna went back to the guest room to see Gabriel, but when she opened the door she was not there.

Daisha who saw it was confused approached him in a hurry.

"Is the Madam looking for a master?"

"Where is he?"

"Master just came out with his bodyguard"

"Does he look okay?"

"Yes sir looks good".

Joanna who is tired of being at home all day decides to attend an invitation from a well-known brand, they are holding an exhibition for their latest collection.

Once there he was greeted by Paul Gardner the owner of the brand.

He showed a limited edition collection to Joanna.

After looking around he was surprised to see Rose being there.

Joanna unhappily approached Rose who was looking through the watch collection.

"Wow who is this?" Say Joanna by folding hands.

Rose who was familiar with the voice refused to look.

"Can't you hear?? or indeed it has no ears" said Joanna sharply.

Rose continued to be patient and continued to ignore him.

"It looks like you're getting brave after you've got Zact's status, you parasitic base"

"Do I know you?" rose's question made Joanna even more upset.

"Whatever .... !!! don't you want to congratulate me on my pregnancy??"

Rose who could not bear to finally go from there but Joanna's hand held her shoulder to stop it, Rose who was upset to get rid of Joanna's hand a little hard but who would have thought she would fall and groan in pain.

Everyone watched the two, Rose tried to help Joanna but she looked angry.

Paul who saw the chaos immediately instructed his employees to take control of the situation.

Paul approached Joanna and immediately helped her, and took her to her room.

The news about Rose that made Joanna fall instantly Viral in the universe medsos.

various news headlines that herded public opinion spread across the internet such as "Zact Bryan's engagement is angelic-faced but demon-faced"

Zact who saw the news immediately contacted Rose.

"Hallo Rose are you okay?are you still there?"

The frightened Rose could not answer Zact's question.

"I'll be there as soon as possible, you don't be afraid"

Zact hangs up the phone and heads to Paul's exhibit.

Arriving there he passed Gabriel who was about to enter the building.

They walked together and ignored each other.

Paul's servants were waiting for them to direct the two into a different room.

Gabriel goes to the left room and Zact goes to the right.

Gabriel paused for a moment and watched Zact enter the room where Rose was there, Gabriel also wanted to break through, but his logic stopped him.

He walked into the room and saw Joanna being examined by a doctor.

Paul approached her and apologized.

"Mr Rowen is sorry for this mess that caused Mrs Rowen to experience something like this"

"Alright, please don't prolong this matter, it's an accident that was unintentional, you have to explain to the media" Kat Gabriel said.

Paul nodded and promised to take care of everything.

"Mr Rowen is all right, Mrs Rowen is just cramping from a fall, and she's in good shape, she just needs to rest" explained the Doctor before leaving.

Everyone left the room and the brand was left alone.

"Why do you have to let this matter go, he purposely made me fall, he wants to get rid of your baby!!"

Gabriel held back the anger of hearing Joanna's words which greatly rendered him out of sense.

"Do you have to look for ways to bother him?? you don't even think about the baby in your stomach!! what does this call a mother??"

"Why do you keep defending him?!"

"I've warned you not to bother him, if something happens to your baby I'll be gone that very second!!" Threaten Gabriel who immediately scared Joanna.

Though upset Gabriel helps Joanna stand up and helps her walk.

Outside the building were many journalists who were already crowding.

Paul steers Zact, Rose, Joanna and Gabriel to the press conference venue.

Paul explained to the media that the viral incident was just an accident.

Journalists also highlighted Rose who looked down embarrassed.

"Is Miss Rose guilty of this?" ask one of the reporters.

"Did you not hear Paul's explanation just now??why still corner one of the parties" Gabriel said in defense of Rose.

Rose who was not happy with the defense immediately opened her voice.

"I'm Rose here I apologize to Mrs Rowen from the bottom of my heart" said Rose, who then took Zact away from the crowd and got into the car.

Gabriel seemed devastated to get such treatment from Rose.
