There was only one thought in Gabrielle's mind right now. It seemed that Jackson was hating her more and more, and was now beginning to develop resentment towards her.
"Ms. Glyn, I don't need him to send me there. I'm perfectly capable of going there myself." Naturally, she didn't want to trouble him any further.
She could see the hostility in his eyes, so she dared not bother him again.
If things were to go on like this, Jackson might find her the most annoying person in the world.
"Look, Gabrielle, you're a lady, and Jackson, you're a man and you're her senior. It's your duty to escort her there," Melissa said gently.
Her reasoning was sound, so Jackson was unable to refute it.
"I really don't need him to send me back, Ms. Glyn. You don't have to do this…"
"Ms. Glyn, rest assured that I'll take her to her destination safely." Jackson interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.
Having heard that, Melissa smiled at him. "Good. I'll leave Gabrielle in your capable hands. Make sure to send her back safely."
"Understood, Madame. I'll do my best." Having said that, Jackson turned to Gabrielle, and said, "Let's go."
Afterwards, he strode out of the room, giving her the cold shoulder.
Gabrielle was left speechless of his behavior. He was the complete opposite of Melissa.
"Gabrielle, don't worry about him. He's all bark and no bite. Once you get to know him better, you'll understand that he's a good man. He's not that bad. Don't take his attitude too seriously." Melissa tried to appease Gabrielle's worries.
Upon hearing that, Gabrielle smiled. "I understand, Ms. Glyn. I've known him for over six months. Everyone in the company knows about his temper. I won't take it to heart."
"I'm relieved to hear that. Anyway, you should go. Take care, okay?" said Melissa.
"Goodbye, Ms. Glyn."
Soon, Gabrielle arrived at the gate of the hotel. Upon seeing her, Jackson pulled over to her side, casting her a frigid glance.
"Get in the car. Now!"
Without hesitation, Gabrielle got in and sat in the backseat.
The second she got in, she felt a chill run down her spine. Normally, whenever Jackson wasn't angry, she was still frightened to be around him. But now that he was visibly displeased, she was so scared that she wanted to run away.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Jackson," Gabrielle remarked.
She wanted to apologize in order to appease his angry. Otherwise, if he were to lose his temper, he might drive the car into a ditch or something.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you still didn't come downstairs. I think you did it on purpose," he snorted.
Gabrielle realized that whatever she said now would only be wrong in his eyes.
Thus, she just clammed up and sat there with her gaze cast down. She then took out her phone to send a message to Westley, asking him where he was.
Seeing that Gabrielle wasn't answering him, Jackson stared at her from the rearview mirror and saw that she was fiddling with her phone with her head down.
Instead of calming down, he became even angrier.
'This woman really pisses me off!' he cursed inwardly.
"Where are you going?" Jackson said through gritted teeth.
"To the commercial street," Gabrielle stated casually.
She had no intention of asking him to send her back. This man appeared just about ready to strangle her. She'd rather not piss him off anymore.
Jackson started the engine and drove to the destination.
Meanwhile, Gabrielle remained silent and continued playing with her phone.
