Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 388

After hanging up, Gabrielle’s heart sank. She sat there feeling worried.

“What’s wrong?” asked Westley.

He remembered what Jackson said.

Westley thought that meeting Melissa must have made Gabrielle uncomfortable.

But he was surprised to hear that Gabrielle had always been a fan of her.

The Morris family and the Walker family from Ensfield had had some issues in the past. Then, Melissa was married into the Walker family.

She belonged to the other side now.

But the feud was between these two clans and their main family members.

Gabrielle and Melissa were daughters-in-law of each family, affiliated only by marriage, so it should spare them from all the conflict.

Westley didn’t mind them getting along, as long as Melissa meant his wife no harm.

Moreover, Melissa might be able to help Gabrielle with her career in the future.

“Jackson said that Melissa wanted to see me. Can you drive me to the Champs Hotel?” Gabrielle asked hesitantly.

Melissa wanted to meet her out of the blue and she didn’t know why. It was making her anxious.

“Of course. Did she say why?” Westley asked, worried.

After all, Melissa was a big shot in the jewelry design industry, and Gabrielle was totally a newcomer. Why would she want to see Gabrielle for no reason?

Westley was confused.

Melissa wasn’t the easiest person to get along with. She had always been exclusive about her clientele.

She was selective of her customers.

She would choose who she would deal with and not the other way around.

Perhaps she had recognized Gabrielle’s talent. Still, it was strange.

“Jackson didn’t say get there,” Gabrielle replied.

She didn’t mind going.

It was just that Jackson’s cold and unfriendly tone always be too nervous. Whatever it is, you’ll do great.” Westley smiled, patting Gabrielle on the head.

The small gesture offered her relief.

“Westley, thank you for always believing in me,” Gabrielle said softly.

Hearing this, Westley chuckled. “You know, you’re better than you give yourself credit for. I’m sure Melissa wanted to see you to discuss some business opportunities. That’s how talented you are.”

Westley always knew how to calm her down.

“I things again.”

“Relax. You’re the greatest.” Westley’s praises rained nonstop.

Gabrielle thought that he had gotten even better with his compliments. “Were you always a natural with w

ords, Westley? It’s no wonder you’re popular with women.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Gabrielle pursed her lips.

Hearing her words, Westley couldn’t help but grin. “If you must know, I only began speaking like this after meeting you. My words are only for your ears alone.”

‘Since when did Westley become this sweet?’

But Gabrielle had to admit that she liked this side of him.

Westley’s voice just tugged at her heart.

Any girl would have felt special hearing it.

“They said you were cold and distant, but that’s not true at all,” Gabrielle said.

“Indifferent to others, maybe. But I don’t want to be like that with you, Gabrielle. I want you to feel how much I adore you,” Westley answered without hesitation.

His words were enough to take her breath away.

Any more than that would make her feelings explode.

“Westley, please!” Gabrielle chuckled. “That’s enough…”

Westley looked at her, eyes twinkling. “Fine, I’ll stop.”

When they arrived at Champs Hotel, Gabrielle got off the car. “Thanks, Westley. Drive safely on your way to the office.”

“Gabrielle, remember what I told you. You’re wonderful and you don’t need to be nervous at all.” Westley leaned towards the car window.

“I know. Go now, or you’ll be late.” Gabrielle was cautious. She didn’t want people to see her with Westley since it would start rumors.

She was a private person, but Westley was in the public eye. If someone recognized him, there could be trouble.

“Alright, alright.” Westley knew what she was worried about.

He had intended to talk more and then thought better of it.

“I’ll see you later.” Gabrielle waved her hand and ran into the hotel.

Melissa was staying in the presidential suite on the top floor and she needed the room card to get in the VIP elevator.

So she called Jackson for help.

“What is it? Can’t you come up on your own?” Jackson’s usual cold tone made her spine tingle.

Women stayed away from cold men like him.

Maybe that was why he had never been seen with a woman ever.

Who would want to date a scary guy like him?

“Jackson, I’m downstairs, but I…”

“Wait a minute. I’ll ask someone to send you up here.” After saying that, Jackson cut the call abruptly.

Gabrielle was totally stunned. What a bossy man he was!

Lost in her thoughts, a receptionist came over.

“Hello, are you Miss Jones? Mr. Grant asked me to take you upstairs.”

Had she known that she could ask the receptionist for help, she wouldn’t have troubled Jackson.

“Yes, I am. Thank you.”
