Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 429

Lolita had never thought about settling down in Antawood.

For her, she would forever be a resident of Ensfield. Lolita’s roots and her family were deeply embedded in that place. The man who had her heart was also from Ensfield.

Antawood was her temporary residence. There was no reason for her to settle down in that place.

“I’ll think about it.” Lolita was terrified that if she refused once more, it would cause displeasure to Jason.

“No rush. Let’s have some breakfast first.” He led her into the dining room.

The hunger in her insides made Lolita swallow hard when she laid her eyes on the sumptuous and carefully prepared breakfast spread.

“Sit down. You look famished.” The evident greed on her face made Jason burst into laughter.

“Okay.”

Without a hint of hesitation, Lolita sat down and began to devour her meal. After all, Jason had already seen the worst of her. There was no reason for Lolita to act all womanly in front of him anymore.

When she hastily finished her breakfast, Lolita got ready to leave. She had her dirty laundry with her.

“Mr. Foster, thank you for taking me in last night. I’ll be going home first and then to the company. I’m worried that I would be marked absent at work today.” Dark clouds were brooding over Lolita’s face.

“I’m the boss. Don’t worry about it. I can drive you to the office. You don’t have to take a cab,” Jason offered as he took his car keys out.

His words caused her to wave her hands in the air.

“No! I don’t want to drag your name into the mud. You can go ahead. I’ll go home first. Then I will go to the company as soon as possible. It’s more than enough for me that I won’t be marked absent at work.” In a hurry, Lolita took her phone out to call a taxi.

‘How could he drive me there? I wouldn’t have an explanation if anyone saw the two of us together!’

Lolita had perfect knowledge that she had to avoid arousing rumors that linked her to her boss.

“Okay then. I’ll drive you home first. You can go to the office from there. Booking a cab from here is quite difficult,” Jason replied calmly.

It was, indeed, difficult to book a taxi from his villa. Upon checking her app, there were no taxis nearby.

That was exactly why she didn’t like the extravagance of these villas. They were so far away from the city. One would have to own a car to live there.

“Thank you, Mr. Foster,” Lolita had great decorum. She quickly got into his car and obediently sat down.

It was almost noon when Lolita arrived at the office.

“Lolita, are you okay?” Gabrielle asked the moment she saw Lolita. The scream she heard when she talked to Lolita over the phone made her extremely worried.

“I am. I’m sorry I scared you,” Lolita apologized.

She couldn’t tell Gabrielle that she slept over at Jason’s villa last night. She was afraid that Gabrielle would misunderstand her relationship with Jason.

“I’m glad to hear that you’re fine. We’ll explain what happened last night to Jason. I’m sure he’ll understand. Vivian arrived with a cloud over her face earlier today. I heard that her team’s project isn’t

going too well. She scolded her team twice this morning. It must have something to do with what transpired last night. After all, I exposed her in front of so many people. You even poured wine over her. How could she possibly be in a good mood? Keep your vigilance when yo

u see her today,” Gabrielle reminded her. NôvelDrama.Org content.

“I know. I wouldn’t want to mess with her today. If I see her, I won’t stand in her way.” Lolita knew that the most important thing she should do was keep herself safe.

However, if Vivian tried anything funny, she wouldn’t hesitate to fight back.

“We don’t have to talk to Mr. Foster. I’ve already told him about it,” Lolita added.

“Did you make things clear?” Gabrielle was taken aback.

“I did. You don’t have to talk to him about it anymore.” Lolita no longer wanted to burden herself with last night’s events. The past was the past.

It wasn’t their fault anyway.

“Okay, that’s good. I have plans later today so I won’t be here in the afternoon. If you meet Vivian, remember to avoid her. Even though she’s afraid of your cousin, I’m sure she would do whatever to get her way,” Gabrielle warned.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone step on me. I’ve always relied on my capabilities. My cousin wasn’t there before. It’s still the same way now.” Vivian could not faze her.

“Okay. I have to go.” With those last words, Gabrielle took her bag and left.

Melissa sent Gabrielle the restaurant’s address. Gabrielle didn’t want to make her wait so she arrived earlier. On the way to meet Melissa, Gabrielle dropped by the mall to buy her a present. It was

Christmas tomorrow after all.

She meticulously chose a silk scarf that matched Melissa’s temperament. Gabrielle was worried that Melissa wouldn’t like her gift. After all, Melissa seemed to have everything.

Despite that, Gabrielle was still determined to let Melissa feel her kindness.

After deciding on her gift, Gabrielle also picked a Christmas gift for Wendy.

Wendy never liked any of Gabrielle’s gifts.

Gabrielle had perfect knowledge that as long as Wendy despised her, she would hate all of her presents as well.

“Please wrap these silk scarves nicely. Thank you.” When Gabrielle handed the two silk scarves to the shop assistant, she caught a glimpse of the lighter counter not too far away from where she was.

There were an array of luxury lighters. Westley was a smoker so she thought of buying him one.

Westley’s birthday was the same day as Christmas. ‘Hmm… If I buy him a lighter and bake a birthday cake for him, would it count as a double surprise?’

Gabrielle wondered as she walked to the aisle where the lighters were displayed.

They were indeed luxurious. The designs looked strong but elegant at the same time. They were also ridiculously expensive.

But the gift was for Westley. It would be a good choice.

“Can I take a look at the two of these…”

“I want both of these. Please have them packed.” A voice interrupted Gabrielle before she could even finish voicing out her request.

It was Cherie. She looked at Gabrielle with apparent disgust.

It was a known fact that Cherie hated her but they seemed to come across each other often. The world was indeed small.

“Please show me this one instead.” Gabrielle did not want to go through the trouble of arguing with Cherie so she asked to see a different lighter instead. This one was silver and had the number ’12’ engraved on it.

It was only appropriate since Westley’s birthday fell on a December. It was perfect.

“I want this one as well,” Cherie exclaimed.

Gabrielle could no longer stand it. “Cherie, do you have to be so vindictive?”
