Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 429

Lolita had never thought about settling down in Antawood.

For her, she would forever be a resident of Ensfield. Lolita's roots and her family were deeply embedded in that place. The man who had her heart was also from Ensfield.

Antawood was her temporary residence. There was no reason for her to settle down in that place.

"I'll think about it." Lolita was terrified that if she refused once more, it would cause displeasure to Jason.

"No rush. Let's have some breakfast first." He led her into the dining room.

The hunger in her insides made Lolita swallow hard when she laid her eyes on the sumptuous and carefully prepared breakfast spread.

"Sit down. You look famished." The evident greed on her face made Jason burst into laughter.

"Okay."

Without a hint of hesitation, Lolita sat down and began to devour her meal. After all, Jason had already seen the worst of her. There was no reason for Lolita to act all womanly in front of him anymore.

When she hastily finished her breakfast, Lolita got ready to leave. She had her dirty laundry with her.

"Mr. Foster, thank you for taking me in last night. I'll be going home first and then to the company. I'm worried that I would be marked absent at work today." Dark clouds were brooding over Lolita's face.

"I'm the boss. Don't worry about it. I can drive you to the office. You don't have to take a cab," Jason offered as he took his car keys out.

His words caused her to wave her hands in the air.

"No! I don't want to drag your name into the mud. You can go ahead. I'll go home first. Then I will go to the company as soon as possible. It's more than enough for me that I won't be marked absent at work." In a hurry, Lolita took her phone out to call a taxi.

'How could he drive me there? I wouldn't have an explanation if anyone saw the two of us together!'

Lolita had perfect knowledge that she had to avoid arousing rumors that linked her to her boss.

"Okay then. I'll drive you home first. You can go to the office from there. Booking a cab from here is quite difficult," Jason replied calmly.

It was, indeed, difficult to book a taxi from his villa. Upon checking her app, there were no taxis nearby.

That was exactly why she didn't like the extravagance of these villas. They were so far away from the city. One would have to own a car to live there.

"Thank you, Mr. Foster," Lolita had great decorum. She quickly got into his car and obediently sat down.

It was almost noon when Lolita arrived at the office.

"Lolita, are you okay?" Gabrielle asked the moment she saw Lolita. The scream she heard when she talked to Lolita over the phone made her extremely worried.

"I am. I'm sorry I scared you," Lolita apologized.

She couldn't tell Gabrielle that she slept over at Jason's villa last night. She was afraid that Gabrielle would misunderstand her relationship with Jason.

"I'm glad to hear that you're fine. We'll explain what happened last night to Jason. I'm sure he'll understand. Vivian arrived with a cloud over her face earlier today. I heard that her team's project isn't going too well. She scolded her team twice this morning. It must have something to do with what transpired last night. After all, I exposed her in front of so many people. You even poured wine over her. How could she possibly be in a good mood? Keep your vigilance when yo

u see her today," Gabrielle reminded her.

"I know. I wouldn't want to mess with her today. If I see her, I won't stand in her way." Lolita knew that the most important thing she should do was keep herself safe.

However, if Vivian tried anything funny, she wouldn't hesitate to fight back.
