Chapter 175 - Your Forever
They invited prominent people in the business world including their close friends like Dr. Xander Yang, Atty. Liam Sy, Zach Lim, and others.
Only a few members from the media were present since the exclusive coverage of this live telecast would be handled by Cooper Entertainment and Network.
They heard that Gavin had a surprise tonight. Everyone was anticipating what kind of surprise Gavin was throwing tonight.
The guest already arrived at the venue. They were just waiting for the appearance of the couple, Brione and Gavin. Some said that they were already in the hotel but they hadn\'t shown up yet in the venue.
Vice-Chairman Loli was entertaining the other guests together with Mitch and Berry. They hadn\'t officially announced Mitch\'s and Berry\'s new position yet but Vice Chairman Loli was already introducing Mitch and Berry to the significant guests.
Everyone stopped what they were doing when the host announced the arrival of Brione and Gavin who was the New Chairman of Cooper.
The camera focused on the entrance door. Brione and Gavin entered the venue together. Everyone was in awe seeing the stunning couple walking in front of them.
Gavin looked gorgeous with his white tuxedo that matched the white off-shoulder evening dress of Brione. They looked good together, a perfect match made in heaven.
Some guests approached Brione and Gavin. They congratulated Gavin for acquiring the company and being the new Chairman. Some guests expressed their excitement about how Gavin would manage the company.
After greeting everyone, Brione and Gavin proceeded to their assigned tables where their close friends were already sitting.
Liam and Xander stood up to welcome the couple. Their wives, Lana and Yera together with Keira approached Brione right away.
"Thank you for coming tonight to attend this party," Gavin said to the two men.
"Of course! We should not miss this party. It seems like another mini-reunion for us," Xander said cheerfully, winking at Gavin.
Gavin turned to Liam, extending his right hand. "Liam, thank you for your help with Derek\'s case. You are indeed the best attorney in our country!"
Liam let out a soft chuckle. "Haha, don\'t flatter me too much, Gavin! It\'s my pleasure to help you and Brione."
Mitch, Berry, and Vice-Chairman Loli also joined their group. It did not take long when the dinner started. Cooper invited some famous artists to perform tonight to entertain the guests while having dinner.
Brione\'s performance would be the highlight performance for tonight\'s dinner party. Gavin personally arranged it for the last part of the program. Besides, he also prepared a surprise for Brione after her performance.
Gavin asked the help of Kevin, Loli, Noah, and Luo for his surprise. He didn\'t inform Mitch and most especially, Berry since he was afraid that they might accidentally slip out and informed Brione about it.
In the middle of the dinner, the host invited Gavin on the stage to make some announcements.
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone who joined us for tonight\'s celebration. As the new Chairman of the Cooper Entertainment and Network, I will make sure that this company will stay on top and perform well."
"With regards to that, I appointed new members in our Management Team who will help me in achieving our company goals. Please let\'s welcome Mitch, our New CEO, and Berry, our new COO. Please give them a round of applause."
Mitch and Berry joined Gavin on the stage. They gave a short message to everyone. Gavin asked for a toast for the new leadership of Cooper Entertainment.
After his announcement, it was now Brione\'s turn to perform. Everyone was looking forward to her performance. Just like before, Brione chose to sing a soft melody dedicated to the New Chairman who was also her man.
Brione started singing the song while looking in Gavin\'s direction.
*Instrumental Playing*
There are times
When I just want to look at your face
With the stars in the night
There are times
When I just want to feel your embrace
In the cold of the night
I just can\'t believe that you are mine now
You were just a dream that I once knew
I never thought I would be right for you
I just can\'t compare you with
Anything in this world
You\'re all I need to be here with forevermore
All those years I\'ve longed to hold you in my arms
I\'ve been dreaming of you
Every night
I\'ve been watching all the stars that fall down
Wishing you would be mine
I just can\'t believe that you were mine now
(*Note: Search the song Forevermore by Side A ~ccto)
When Brione finished the song, the lights in the venue suddenly turned off except the spotlight on the stage. Brione, who was still standing in the middle of the stage, looked at her surroundings confusedly.
It did not take long when something from the ceiling started falling. It was like confetti falling on the stage. However, the confetti was not made of small pieces of colored paper but it was made of real flower petals… red and white roses in particular.
Brione\'s eyes sparkled with delight as she raised her hand to grab some flower petals. Soon, another spotlight turned on, focusing on Gavin who was now walking towards the stage.
Gavin was looking at her with eyes filled with love and affection. The guests were silent, just watching the romantic scene unfolding before them.
A few seconds later, Gavin reached Brione\'s spot. He smiled at her lovingly before he kneeled on the floor. Gavin gazed up, holding a rectangular box in his hand. Inside the box was a diamond ring.
"Brione, just like your song said: You\'re all I need to be here with forevermore. So Brione, are you willing to spend your forever with me? Will you marry me?"
