Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 400

Jason or Jackson? Who should she work with?

It didn't cross Gabrielle's mind that she'd be forced to make a decision.

She had no room to think about presumptions. Practically speaking, why would she?

"You're being so naive, Lolita. Nothing's been decided yet. Who knows what Jackson would do? Choosing between the two of them is out of the question for now, alright?

Don't push it." Gabrielle wasn't trying to be pessimistic, but she wanted Lolita to understand the situation.

It was simply out of the question.

"I don't think I'm being naive. I say this because I see how hard you're working."

Lolita clasped her hand with Gabrielle's.

She didn't know why Lolita had so much confidence in her. Even Gabrielle herself didn't have that much faith in her own abilities.

"Let's just leave this conversation for another time." Gabrielle sighed.

"Okay, okay, I won't mention it anymore. I'm sorry I didn't stand by you moments ago and I'll treat you dinner. What do you think?" Lolita blinked excitedly.

Gabrielle stared at her quietly, so Lolita shook her hand, tugging her.

"Gabrielle, join me for dinner or else I won't be able to sleep feeling guilty that I owe you an apology." Lolita pouted. Gabrielle couldn't stand her acting cutely.

She knew how to work her baby face, and made it hard for Gabrielle to refuse.

"Alright, alright." Gabrielle had planned to cook dinner for Westley earlier in the evening, but that would have to wait.

"That's great! Let's eat whatever you like." Lolita's eyes sparkled.

"It's still early, but I'm okay with anything as long as it's not seafood. You're more familiar with good restaurants, so I'll leave it to you," Gabrielle said.

After their shift, Lolita went to the bathroom and Gabrielle sent a message to Westley, telling him her dinner plans.

After a few seconds, her phone rang. It wasn't surprising that Westley would call back. The man didn't like to type messages.

Gabrielle went to the corridor to answer the phone.

"Westley..."

"Why are you whispering? Did I catch you at a bad time?" Westley asked in a low voice.

He realized that her colleagues might still be around.

"No, it's fine." Hearing him sound guilty, she quickly clarified it.

Even if anyone heard her, Gabrielle had nothing to be ashamed of. Their relationship was private, but that was not something she felt embarrassed to talk about.

"I'm glad. I'm sorry that I called out of the blue. I just wanted to hear your voice," Westley explained.

Gabrielle smiled.

She knew he never liked to type, but there was another reason.

Realizing that, she blushed.

She couldn't tell if Westley was flirting on purpose.
