Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 358

Lacey Murphy and others turned to glance at Vivian after she said those words. Lacey was Cayden's elder sister. She and Vivian had been friends while they were younger. In fact, Vivian was only here because she was with Lacey.

What Vivian had just said really got Lacey curious, and outside just now she suspected that Vivian knew quite some much about that woman.

"Tell me what you know about her, Vivian," Lacey whispered curiously.

"Well, I don't know so much. But you are my friend. That's why I'm going to tell you that the woman's name is Gabrielle. She works as an assistant at Jason's studio and is his only apprentice. I don't know how she could get to know Jason through Austin and become his apprentice soon after. One must really not underestimate her, especially now that she is still able to hook up with Mr. Morris. I just realized that I underestimated this woman before. I feel ashamed already that she's my colleague, and I don't want others to know about that," Vivian said, her lips curved in disgust.

Although she seemed to be repulsed by Gabrielle, she in fact was only jealous.

She found it hard to imagine why the man she loved could accept Gabrielle as his apprentice. Worse still, Jason treated her more kindly than a teacher would treat an apprentice, but Vivian understood he did that mostly because of Austin.

Yet she felt so jealous of Gabrielle. How on earth did she even hook up with Westley?

Vivian was really piqued at how Gabrielle always managed to go about this.

"Is she the woman your dream guy accepted as his apprentice?" Lacey asked, glancing straight over to where Gabrielle was sitting.

At first, she hadn't really paid much attention to Gabrielle when Mia had led her in. But when Micheal had responded to Gabrielle's greeting with a warm, huge smile, Lacey had thrust all her attention at her.

The woman was quite very pretty, but Lacey detested her all the more.

She had loved Micheal dearly all these years, but she had never been able to tell him how she felt because he was so cold to her. It was obvious he didn't like her. More than once, she had felt the urge to tell him, to tell him she loved him. But she was afraid that she would lose the casual friendship she had with him if she did that.

Despite how this hurt her, only one thing had given her relief – Micheal had no other woman in his life.

All he was obsessed with was working hard at his career and taking care of his sister, Mia. He was so cold and arrogant that he didn't consider his own love life at all. Once, Lacey planned on knowing more about Micheal's personal life by inquiring about his family. But not only did they know nothing about his private life, they had no right to interfere with it.

Lacey had long been resolved to be content with things inasmuch as Micheal found no other woman.

He seemed too distant and proud to have anything to do with women.

But now, she felt everything crashing down her feet when she saw him flash Gabrielle a warm, huge smile.

"Well, who else can it be? See how she looks so simple. You would never believe she is the very devil, so scheming and ambitious." Vivian smiled faintly, her voice discolored with malice.

Of course, Lacey understood Vivian meant that Gabrielle looked innocent while, in fact, she was not.

Smirking, Lacey said, "I can see that, too. She's the kind of woman who pretends to be pure just to exploit the rich and find her way up the social ladder. The simpler she looks, the more scheming she is. What a golddigger!" The disgust was heavy in her voice. She hated such kind

of women and held them in contempt.

But there were so many women like her in the society now. Wasn't Gabrielle just more scheming than the others? She would not be afraid of it.

"You should not say that here, Lacey. Mr. Morris will be angry if he hears you saying that. You know she's his woman, don't you?" Vivian reminded, hushing her gently.
