Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 120

 Chapter 120 Lawrence Hughes

It was a sunny afternoon. Gabrielle was on her way to see Macy at Fragrance Restaurant for lunch. On her way, a man kept trailing her. She felt embarrassed by the way he was chasing after her on a very popular street. For this reason, she decided to walk faster. Once Lawrence saw how fast she walked, he followed suit.

“If you think that you’re going to Inake me angry with the way you’re behaving, Gabby, you’re wrong. You’re underestimating me. I must invite you to have lunch with me today. You can’t escape me this time around. Besides, I’ve been on the lookout for you for over a month before I met you here today. It just shows that we were destined to meet!” he said still alking after her. This man was just being outrageous. A man like him was like a plaster which was hard to be dealt with.

“Lawrence, I have something else to do and because of this, I don’t have the luxury of time to argue here with you. Don’t delay me, please;” Gabrielle said to him as she thought of a way to get rid of him but couldn’t think of any.

His kind of person was difficult to deal with. No matter how you talked to him, either in a threatening or cruel tone, he was immune to all. He was just after achieving his goal.

“You must have lunch with me even if you still have something to do. As far as you have lunch with me, I won’t disturb you again, okay?” he said as he smiled at her. There was no sign on his face to show that he was angry with the way that she

was trying to avoid him.

Lawrence was a ladies’ man. He had a very captivating smile that could enchant lots of people. Regrettably, she didn’t fancy men like him and because of this, she was not willing to accept his smile no matter how captivating it was. It didn’t have any effect on her.

Be that as it might, hearing that he would stop disturbing her if she accepted to have lunch with him, she became hesitant.

“Lawrence, are you going to keep to your words?” she asked as she peered at him closely.

He looked at her and smiled like an old cunning fox. He reassured her, “Of course, Gabby. I’m a man of my word. I say what I mean and I mean what I say.”

She wanted to say something harsh to him! She was just sick of him pestering her this way.

Everyone in Antawood knew Lawrence to be a womanizer. He changed women easily like he was changing his clothes. Rumor also had it that he was very generous when he was with a woman. As long as the woman wanted anything, he bought it for her. Even when they broke up, he was still generous to the extent that he would give them a house and a check and after that, they would lose contact.

With such a man who loved to spend on women, who wouldn’t love to be his girlfriend for even just

“Okay then, let’s go to the restaurant over there.” She pointed to a place in front before she continued, “Now, the issue is this: I’m supposed to be having

lunch with my friend in this same restaurant. I’ll have to ask the person first. If he or she agrees to let you stay. then you can join us. Do you understand?” she asked him seriously.

“Is it a man or a woman?” The smile on his face faded away immediately.

He readily concluded that it was a man after all. “So Gabrielle has been avoiding me these days because she wanted to be with other men. She also rushed to the restaurant this sunny afternoon because she wanted to have lunch with a man, right?’ he asked himself without even waiting for her reply.

Before pursuing Gabrielle, he did a thorough investigation and found out that she didn’t have a boyfriend. Although he was a playboy, he had a principle of not robbing other men of their women.

He believed that a gentleman didn’t rob others of their love even though he liked having fun with women.

“It’s a woman,” she answered as she looked at him coldly. “Don’t even think of getting close to her, Lawrence. She is not that kind of person who likes to play the way you do,” she warned him sternly.

When he heard that it was a woman she was going to see, he smiled broadly. “You don’t have to worry about that. I’m not going to chase after other women anymore. I’ll only think about Gabby.”

Gabrielle felt like throwing up and at that moment, she regretted agreeing to have lunch with him. She didn’t know how Macy would feel about this arrangement and wondered whether or not she would be angry.

Besides, the friendship between her and Macy wasn’t that deep. ‘What would she think if I bring a total stranger with me to have lunch with us?’ she thought deeply. I

“Let me just reschedule this lunch for some other time,’ she decided within herself.

“Lawrence, you don’t have to go with me to lunch today. I’ll invite you next time, okay?” she said to him hesitantly

She knew that he wouldn’t agree, but she decided to try her luck. “Gabbyyou just have to be honest. I know you women always say one thing and mean another. You’re saying you want me to go, but in your mind, you don’t want me to. I understand all this. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you and your friend to lunch this afternoon,” he suggested as he smiled at her.
