Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 397

After taking the documents, Gabrielle went back to the studio directly. Unexpectedly, she met Jackson there. He was rarely there at that time.

She was surprised at the manner in which he looked at her. He seemed quite unfriendly. Rather, he looked as if he was disgusted to see her.

Gabrielle was taken aback because she had no idea how she had offended the man. She thought for a while and concluded that perhaps she had made him unhappy yesterday, when they were together with Melissa.

She hadn't expected that he was someone who carried anger and revenge for so long. But she'd had enough of it.

"Jackson, good to see that you've come to the company. I bought two cups of milk tea, and they are still hot. Would you like to have a cup? I just bought it and haven't opened it yet." Gabrielle was holding two cups of milk tea in her hands. Though one was for herself and the other one was for Lolita. But now that she met Jackson, as a junior, she was obliged to give her own cup of milk tea to him. Maybe it could be a compensation for what happened yesterday.

"Gabrielle, I don't need it! And you don't have to make efforts to please me. However hard you try to please me, you won't get any mercy from me." His tone was as cold as the words he spoke.

Gabrielle was distraught.

She got a feeling that things between her and Jackson had gone worse. And she knew that whenever they saw each other, she would definitely be rebuked by him. And being a junior, she could not refute him.

Gabrielle was already disturbed and now this. It just worsened her mood. She walked back to her workroom with the cups of milk tea.

"Here Lolita, I brought you milk tea." She handed a cup to Lolita and began to drink her own tea.

The milk tea, which always tasted delicious, now seemed to be bland and tasteless. Meeting Jackson at the door had been depressing and already had affected her.

Gabrielle was in an awful mood now. So, it did not matter how sweet the milk tea was. She just didn't know how it tasted as her mind and heart were disturbed.

"Gabrielle, thank you for the milk tea. But.... What's wrong with you?" Lolita was sipping the tea happily. But when she saw the angry look on Gabrielle's face, she became worried.

"Nothing! How do you like the milk tea?" Gabrielle asked curiously.

She was actually trying to make sure if something was wrong with the milk tea or her sense of taste.

"Nothing wrong with it! The tea still carries the same taste. Honestly, it's just delicious!" Lolita took another sip of it.

Seeing Lolita devouring the tea so happily, Gabrielle was certain that her mood was affecting her taste buds. And it was because of Jackson that she was in such a bad mood. She kept the cup of tea aside and began to read the information.

From now on, Gabrielle had to begin the preparations for the jewelry designs for Michelle.

She was new but was the hottest star in advertising, and a goddess for men. Though she was Westley's cousin, Gabrielle had to treat her as an ordinary guest. She tried her best to design a set of special jewelry for Michelle.

"Gabrielle, you don't look well. What's wrong with you?" Lolita asked her. She was feeling worried.

"Lolita, I'm fine. You can go back to your own work. I've got to read these things." Gabrielle urged her to leave.

Seeing her like this, Lolita didn't say anything more. She took her cup of milk tea and went back to her seat. There was worry and anxiety on her face.

Soon, the phone on Gabrielle's desk rang. Her hand instinctively reached out and she answered it without hesitation.

"Hello. This is Gabrielle..."

"Come to my office!" A cold voice seemed to shout into the phone.

"Who is this?" Gabrielle was confused. She felt that the voice was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember to whom it belonged. So, the best thing to do was to ask.

"J

ackson!" Then, the man on the other side hung up.

Gabrielle sat there in a daze for a long time. There was an uneasy look on her face, while she was still holding the phone that had been disconnected.
