Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 421

Jason’s action annoyed Kendal. ‘What does he mean? Does he think that as he is Lolita’s boss, he can meddle in her business like this?

Is it possible for other people to take Lolita away from me?

How can someone take her away so easily?’

Kendal firmly believed that even if that man was Lolita’s boss, it did not give him the right to restrict her freedom.

“I’m sorry but from now on, Lolita is no longer your employee. And you don’t need to worry about her business. I’ll take charge of it, henceforth!” Kendal said in a domineering manner.

Hearing Kendal’s words, Lolita was taken aback. Her eyes went wide open.

Jason was her boss. If she got expelled because of Kendal’s words, all the efforts she had made in the past half year would be in vain.

“Huh? Cousin!” Lolita couldn’t help but stop him from saying anything more. She was okay with the fact that Kendal didn’t help her. But now he was making things worse.

‘Cousin?’

Once Jason heard Lolita call Kendal as her cousin, he realized that he was wrong. They were not a couple!

He felt like a wave of relief washed over him.

He didn’t care who he was, as long as he was not Lolita’s boyfriend, it was enough.

“Mr. Foster, please don’t listen to his nonsense. I can explain everything to you. Let’s go out and have a talk.” Lolita quickly grabbed Jason’s arm and made a sincere request.

“Well, Mr. Shaw, as long as Lolita doesn’t resign from her position herself, she is my employee. I have the right to care about her business.” Jason felt much better when he saw Lolita’s hands holding his arm.

“In that case, even if she is an employee of yours, it’s off duty time now, Mr. Foster. I don’t think that you need to intrude in her personal time. Lolita will go with me. She doesn’t need you to worry about her.” Of course, Kendal didn’t treat Jason well. In his opinion, all the bosses were capitalists who oppressed other people, especially their employees. Kendal was certain that Jason must have been bad to Lolita at other times. That was the reason why she was so scared when she saw him.

“Jason, I think Mr. Shaw is right. It’s off duty time now. Lolita’s private and personal time. Mr. Shaw is her cousin. I suggest that you should let Lolita go with Mr. Shaw.” Seeing Lolita hold Jason’s arm, Vivian was extremely angry. She tried hard not to spit out her resentment and wanted to calm things down, around all of them.

‘When did Lolita get so close to Jason?’ Vivian wondered.

“Vivian, go back and change your clothes. Probably taking a shower would help.” Jason looked at Vivian and instructed her.

Vivian had thought that Jason would finally care about her and accompany her back. But here he was asking her to return by herself.

What the hell was that!

“Miss Allen, I’m sorry that the red wine was splashed on your dress by Lolita. Even if it was accidentally done, I will compensate for it. My assistant will reach out to you and deal with it. If you want to buy it

now, I can ask my assistant to take you to the shopping mall right away!” Glancing at her, Kendal spoke in a polite manner.

In fact, he didn’t need to treat Vivian kindly at all. He knew that the woman obviously deserved it.

“I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Shaw. You don’t have to pay for it. It’s just a dress. And anyway, I don’t think I would wear it again!” Vivian said trying to sound mature and generous.

Hearing her, Kendal didn’t want to say anything more. He had been nice to her after all.

“Jason, I can’t drive now. Can you please drive me home?” Vivian looked at Jason with an aggrieved look.

Indeed, no man could refuse a beautiful woman, who was acting like a spoiled child. She was whining because of a little grievance.

However, Jason didn’t pay attention to Vivian. He completely ignored her grievance and coquetry as though it was nothing.

“Okay, Vivian. I’ll ask someone to send you home,” Jason said calmly. He pulled out his mobile phone from his pocket, and pressed a few keys to write a message. Then he sent away the message.

“Jason, don’t bother other then. I’ll try to go back by myself.” Vivian’s self-esteem was greatly dam

aged by the ignorance shown by Jason.

He was the man she had been in love for so many years. If it weren’t for Jason, she would never have gone or stayed in that company.

Vivian always thought that Jason didn’t accept her confession of love because for him his career was the most important. And he didn’t want to be in love. But now things were clear. It seemed that it was

not the truth.

He didn’t think or talk about love, because that person whom he wanted to fall in love with, hadn’t appeared! There was no other reason.

“Lolita, do you want to come along with me or will you stay here?”

Jason asked. He didn’t care a bit about Vivian anymore. His eyes were on Lolita.

“Lolita, if you don’t listen to me, I’ll tell them that you’re here.” Kendal was glaring at Lolita and threatening her.

Lolita knew what kind of person Kendal was and whom he was calling as ‘them’. He was referring to her family. Once he told them everything, Lolita would definitely be taken back home.

“Kendal, I…”

“Mr. Foster, why don’t you drive Vivian home now? It’s not safe for a girl to go back home alone with some stranger. I’ll be with Lolita. And this is her cousin. We’ll be safe together. We’ll explain everything to you tomorrow. Okay?” Gabrielle suggested to Jason. She had to get things under control for Lolita’s sake.

If the situation went on like this, things were bound to go bad for everyone, especially things between Lolita and Vivian. The relationship between them would become worse than it already was.

Gabrielle knew that for sure. And she didn’t want Lolita to end up in any serious trouble.

Jason looked at Gabrielle and noticed her pleading eyes. “Alright, Gabrielle. I’ll listen to you this time. I’ll get Vivian home safely first.”

“Thank you, Jason.” Gabrielle breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, they had ended up making a scene tonight. She had never thought that Lolita would deliberately pour wine on Vivian’s dress.

Though it surprised Gabrielle, she couldn’t deny that she felt quite happy. Yet, she had to keep it to herself as the occasion demanded.

“Mr. Foster, please drop Vivian back first. I will apologize to both of you tomorrow. Thank you!” Lolita followed Gabrielle’s words obediently. That was the only way to control the scene from turning uglier.

She felt that she was fortunate to have such a good friend like Gabrielle, who helped her a lot. She was distraught that if she really had to choose between Jason and Kendal, she would end up in a lot of trouble.

“Remember what I said. I’m leaving for now. Vivian, let’s go.” Jason started walking. Vivian, who was standing beside him, walked away with him.

Although Vivian didn’t hold Jason’s hand, she was walking very close to him. From a distance, others could see them leaving together and their proximity suggested that they were quite intimate.

Lolita breathed a sigh of relief as she watched them leave. She was patting her chest with her hand, as if comforting her heart. “Wow! Thank you, Gabrielle! You saved me, else I would have been in a lot of trouble.”

“Well, let’s go back to our room first. It has been a little too much for today. There are so many people here, including some seniors from the industry. Looks like we have become famous!” Gabrielle said with a hint of self-mockery and exasperation in her voice.

Lolita looked around and realized that many people were staring at them. Although there was no clear criticism, their eyes seemed to regard them as two unruly newcomers, who even dared to pour wine on their seniors.

“Gabrielle, I’m really sorry! I couldn’t stop myself from splashing it on her that time. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this!” Lolita felt guilty for creating such a situation for herself and her friend. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“It doesn’t matter now. Let’s hope some seniors will see reason in all of this,” Gabrielle said. She was holding Lolita’s hand and trying to comfort her.

If the seniors couldn’t see reason behind it and sided with Vivian, there was no point staying in that place. If they looked down upon Lolita and her, there was no need for Gabrielle to waste her time there.
