Chapter 464 - Marry Me
Aaron was still focused on his laptop while Daniel gave a statement to the police. After several guards took Marissa to the nearest police station, they were asked to come to give information about what Marissa Henderson did. Because Marisa evaded and said that she was innocent, Daniel finally gave evidence of the CCTV footage in Aaron's office for what Marissa had done. Then the girl was silent and resigned when she was taken into a holding cell by the police.
"Let's go home, Boss, the problem is over. That bitch won't be able to get out of this prison until a lawyer helps her," Daniel said quietly as he approached Aaron, who was still sitting quietly in the waiting room.
Aaron, who was focusing on Alan's photos, didn't seem to hear Daniel's words. Finally, Daniel spoke again before Aaron was aware.
"Is it finished?"
"It's been a while, Boss, I even reported it to you, but you just kept quiet and didn't respond to my words," Daniel replied curtly.
Aaron smiled broadly, he then closed his laptop which was still showing Alan's photos. "Well then we can go home now, I'm really tired today."
Daniel, who knew that Aaron's mind had wandered off somewhere, didn't say anything when he heard his boss' words. He had to be quiet while leaving the police station following Aaron from behind. Even when they were in the car, Daniel didn't open his mouth at all. He still let Aaron busy in his own world.
"Are there really identical twins in this world?" Aaron said quietly breaking the silence.
Daniel who was driving the car then looked at the rearview mirror. "There are and many, do you think that man is Jackson Patrick Muller's twin brother, Boss?"
"Apparently, I feel that this man is actually Alan, not Jackson Patrick Muller. Although their faces are exactly the same, but I believe Jackson and this person are two different people," said Aaron quietly.
Daniel did not respond to Aaron's words anymore, because they had arrived at Aaron's luxurious house. When Aaron's car was about to enter the gate, a girl was standing beside the car waving at the car Aaron was riding in.
"Rose...that's Miss Rose, Boss," Daniel said quickly as he stomped on the brakes of his car.
"Where?"
"Right up front."
Without another word, Aaron immediately got out of the car and approached Rose, who was standing beside his car, smiling.
"You just got home this late?" Rose asked softly.
Aaron immediately grabbed both of Rose's hands tightly. "Why don't you come in?"
"I just stopped by. Actually, I was about to go home, but I accidentally saw your car coming. So I decided to wait a little longer here," answered Rose honestly.
Aaron immediately embraced Rose quickly. He knew that the girl must have been waiting outside for quite a while considering how cold Rose's fingers that he was currently holding.
"Next time, even though I haven't arrived home yet, just go in when you come. I don't want you to wait outside like this. What if someone bad happens to bother you?" Aaron said softly as he hugged Rose.
Rose smiled. "No bad person would dare to enter The Bolton compound. They would definitely think twice to cause a commotion in a luxury housing complex like this."
"But still, Rose, people do bad things not only because they have intentions but when they see an opportunity, then that person can do evil. So don't ever do things like that, I don't want you to get into trouble," said Aaron quickly, while tightening his arms around Rose's body.
Rose patted Aaron's back to let her go of his embrace. She felt uncomfortable being hugged so tightly.
Aaron let go of his arms and looked at Rose's face that looked very tired. "You just got home from work at this late hour too?"
"Yeah, working on my last day as a journalist," Rose answered quietly.
"What does it mean?"
"I was fired, Aaron. You know how competitive the office world is. And well, because I couldn't survive, I was finally eliminated," Rose answered flatly, her voice was shaking slightly, showing deep sadness.
Hearing Rose's words made Aaron widen his eyes. He couldn't believe that a journalist like Rose could be fired from her company. Because Aaron knew very well how responsible Rose was for her work, so he was very surprised when he heard the confession from the woman who had officially been in a relationship with him. Because the night air was getting colder, Aaron took Rose into the house, the maids who saw their master bringing a girl home immediately acted quickly. They asked Rose to change into warmer clothes because Rose's face looked pale.
"Famous media, the company dared to fire my girlfriend, Daniel. Find out who the director is, I want to teach him a lesson," Aaron said curtly when Daniel walked up to him.
"Miss Rose was fired?" Daniel asked surprised.
"Yes, dishonorably."
Daniel glared even more. He couldn't believe the daughter of the Portuguese Minister of Defense was dishonorably dismissed like that from her work.
"Find out why Rose was fired and give me the phone number of the director of Famous media, I want to get to know the director of the company as soon as possible," Aaron said again giving an order that Daniel couldn't deny.
"Okay, Boss, I'm going to find out why Miss Rose got into trouble like this. I'm also going to find out what the name of the director of that damn magazine company is."
Aaron pursed his lips at Daniel's words. His eyes gleaming with anger when he found out that Rose was being treated badly by the magazine company that he could buy so easily. But because he didn't know what was really going on, Aaron couldn't act rashly. He still had to think about many other things before making a decision, at least, until he heard a detailed explanation from Rose, who was currently being assisted by his maids. Knowing Rose would take a long time, Aaron decided to change his clothes shortly after Daniel left him to do the task he had just given him.
Daniel, who actually wanted to lie down on his soft bed, now had to go back to work. It wasn't difficult for Daniel to find out what was happening in the Famous media office where Rose worked. Using the connections he had, Daniel managed to get the information that Aaron desperately wanted to get. His eyes narrowed at the sight of the beautiful girl behind Rose's dismissal today.
"Tsk! Again, it looks like this woman has no shame," said Daniel softly when he saw the figure that caused Rose to lose her job.
***
After changing into warmer clothes, Rose went down to the first floor where Aaron was sitting by the fire. Aaron, who was enjoying a glass of warm chocolate, smiled when he saw Rose walking towards him.
"How are you feeling?"
Rose smiled. "Much better than before.
"Good. Sit down and drink your hot chocolate," Aaron said softly while pointing to a glass of hot chocolate on the table.
With a shining face, Rose approached the table and grabbed her hot chocolate. As a fellow person who had ulcer disease, Rose knew that Aaron couldn't hold his hunger for too long like her. Therefore, she just smiled when she saw the various cookies on the plate.
"What's your next plan?" Aaron asked briefly.
Rose shook her head. "I don't know."
"Then marry me, Rose," Aaron said with confidence.
Luckily, Rose had put her glass of warm chocolate on the table, otherwise it would surely fall and soiled her clothes when she heard Aaron's words.
"Are you kidding me?
