Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 48

"I'm sorry. I thought I saw someone I know." Gabrielle felt nervous as she looked away.

It seemed that Westley had no idea that she was having dinner here. Not that he wanted to be informed of her every move. He went to that restaurant to have a dinner with another woman, and not to give any attention to Gabrielle. But unconsciously, Gabrielle was somewhat uncomfortable.

"The food is ready. Let's eat first before anything else," Michael said while glancing at her.

Gabrielle picked up her chopsticks to eat. As they ate quietly, she could not stop herself from secretly glancing at the entrance of the restaurant for unknown reason. And she found out why when she saw Westley entered the entrance with a woman walking beside him. The woman was wearing a blue sophisticated dress. Westley looked like he was assisting the woman, but Gabrielle noticed the small distance between them.

Fortunately, Gabrielle was sitting in the far part of the restaurant, and there were big plants to cover her. Westley didn't notice Gabrielle which made Gabrielle feel relief in her heart. 'He can't find me anyway. I guess it is for the best, ' Gabrielle said to herself while looking straight at Westley.

But it was too early for Gabrielle to feel relieved about not crossing a glance with Westley. The man she was looking at intently, took a sit sideways on the other row aligned to their seat. Westley suddenly looked up at Gabrielle making the woman feel a sudden shock to her heart. 'Our eyes met!' she screamed at her brain.

She immediately looked down at her chopsticks. She tried her best to act that she didn't see Westley, but it was too late.

Fate was really something. The two of them went to the same restaurant to have dinner with their different partners. They even sat across to each other, which made their situation unbelievably funny.

'This coincidence was so dramatic!'

Gabrielle could not stop her eyes from wondering at the sudden changes on Westley's expression. At that moment, Gabrielle immediately knew what he was thinking. So she picked her phone in her purse and typed a message for him.

'Let's talk after this dinner.' Gabrielle then sent the message to Westley.

Westley's phone vibrated for the message, but instead of unlocking his phone, he ignored it. He didn't have any intentions on talking to Gabrielle even for a second, because he noticed it was Micheal that sat opposite to Gabrielle.

He was thinking that Micheal was the one who saved Gabrielle from that cold night. He thought that dinner was a reward Micheal deserved a little.

Besides, Holly was sitting in front of him. He couldn't afford to give his full attention to the woman far from his side.

"Westley," Holly called him. He immediately gave Holly his curious look. "What do you want to eat? I heard that the restaurant's specialty was lobster. They said it was delicious enough to be the best lobster food in the place. I think we should try that," Holly said to him as she was glancing at the menu.

When Westley heard the word lobster, he immediately thought of Gabrielle, who was allergic to it. Unconsciously, he immediately refused Holly's suggestion. "Anything is okay, but not seafood."

Holly looked at Westley as she lowered the menu. She was confused at what Westley said. "Are you okay? Last time we ate seafood, you liked it very much. Is something bothering you? Are you stressed at your work? Or maybe…" She trailed off before looking at Westley seriously. "You don't want to have dinner with me? Or this restaurant is not to your taste?"

"No, that's not it. I'm sorry. The restaurant is good. I think I'm just a little tired from work like what you've said." Westley's eyes were uneasy. He kept on glancing secretly at Gabrielle's seat from time to time.

'Why did that woman chose a restaurant like this? To have dinner with that Micheal and to look like a couple in the eyes of others? What was she thinking? Hooking up with that man? I bet she lost her mind already if that was the case.' Westley couldn't stop his mind to have thoughts that made his heart uneasy.

Westley threw a glare at Gabrielle, who was busy eating her food with Micheal. 'Does she think she's divorced? She's making me crazy, really.'
