Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 123 Sheâs Happy With Another Man They were still in their separate restaurants eating. The way Gabrielle was getting bolder recently infuriated Westley to his hones. Earlier that morning. Sophie had told him that Gabrielle went to the hospital to see her friend, Sloane, and was very happy about it.
And now, here she was, having lunch with Lawrence and smiling from ear to ear. It showed that she was also happy being with him.
When he thought about how she had been reluctant to have dinner with him the night before, he got angry even more. âWho does this woman think she is?â he asked himself.
âDo you know that woman, Mr. Morris?â Brent asked as he looked at Westleyâs face squarely.
Although Brent and Westley became close friends in recent years, Brent knew that his friend had a lover who he had loved for so many years. Her name was Helena, the eldest daughter of the Collins family. They were so in love that they planned to get married.
Despite that, before they were able to get married, there was a shootout. Westley was badly injured, but his lover, Helena died on The spot. Ever since then, he had never been close to any other woman. He found it difficult to forget someone who he had loved so much..
Later on, he got engaged to the second daughter of the Collins family. Nellie and they were supposed to get married this year.
But unfortunately, there was no news about their wedding. It was a problem whether he would still get married or not. Besides, just a few men could take the kind of decision he took. Who would do such a thing as marrying the sister of their deceased lover?
But then, the woman sitting opposite Lawrence was not the second daughter of the Collins family, but judging from the way Westley stared at her, it was obvious that he cared so much about her.
âWho is this girl?â
All of a sudden, Brent was curious about it.
âMr. Hughes, itâs none of my business how Lawrence used to play. I canât control him or care too much about what he does, but you see that woman right there with him? I hope he can stay away from her as far and as soon as possible,â Westley told him and then sat again in silence, gracefully cutting the steak in front of him with a knife and a fork.
Somehow, Erent felt that it was not the steak that Westley cut directly, but that he was cutting his brother, Lawrence.
âMr. Morris, you mean that? Is that girl very important to you?â he asked Westley.
They were all smart people in the business world. Since Brent had asked, he wouldnât deny it.
âShe is a very special person to me, so please go back and discipline Vice Mr. Hughes. He shouldnât mess with the wrong person because it has grave consequences. I still want to cooperate with Mr. Hughes and the Hughes Group for a very long time,â he said and put down the knife and fork, picked up the glass of wine, and took a sip.
From his words, Brent understood clearly that this woman had a special place in Westleyâs heart and for this reason, it was better not to offend him for the time being.
When he got back home, he would tell his brother about it. He could pick up as many girls as he wanted, but he had to first find out who she belonged to before he killed himself unknowingly.
âDonât worry about it, Mr. Morris. Iâm going to take care of this. Do you need me to call him right this minute?â Brent thoughtfully Westley shook his head negatively. âNo, Mr. Hughes. There is no need. Just let him stay away from this particular woman in the future.â
âAll right, itâs okay. I can do it. I apologize on his behalf.â Erent spoke calmly.
It was easy for him to teach Lawrence a lesson After that, Westley didnât say one more word, but from time to time, his eyes would dart downstairs.
Gabrielle didnât know if she was thinking too much or someone was staring at her. She just felt that someone was staring at her emotionlessly.
She turned around and looked out of the window. There were only passers-by on the street and they were all strangers. She didnât see anybody she knew Or could it be that she was hallucinating?
âWhat are you staring at, Gabby? You seem to be absent-minded,â Lawrence asked with concern. âBy the way, this is their signature sauce spare ribs. You should give it a try.â He picked up two pieces and put them into her bowl.
âDonât get me any more food, Mr. Hughes. I donât appreciate it,â she refused bluntly.
Lawrence pretended to be sad to get her attention. He looked at her unhappily. âGabby. look at my heart. See how much Iâm hurt by you. Do you know how many women want me to pick up food for them, but I refused? But right now. Iâm helping you, you refuse to appreciate my kindness. Iâm so sad.â .
He pretended to be sad and looked at her, but she wasnât moved at all. She just watched him and allowed him to finish his play calmly. âMr. Hughes, with your face and acting skill, you can act. No one can match you right now because youâve already won the award for the best actor on the planet.â With that, she stood up and gave him a standing ovation. She curtseyed and sat back in her chair.
Although he pretended at first to look pitiful, he was appalled by her serious nonsense.
âGabby, I think you are complimenting me. I like it very much. Keep it up! It means that my appearance and acting skills are pretty good. I can succeed as an actor. What do you he asked as he smiled at her happily. He looked at her and urged her to eat.
Eat your food.â She noted him and lowered her head to eat her meal.
in Westleyâs eyes, this scene w just 10 annoying. Lawrence was making his wife laugh and she lowered her eyes shyly to avoid his gázc.
He couldnât stand it anymore. What nonsense!â He was enraged, A fire of fury rose inside of him. He wished he could just drop his fork and go downstairs to catch her. What did she think she was doing with a man that wasnât him?
âMr. Morris, it seems that you donât like todayâs steak very much. Do you want to change it to something else?â Brent asked innocently, although he knew what affected Westleyâs appetite was not the steak, but the woman downstairs.
At the same time, he became even more curious about the background of the woman who his brother had fallen in love with and even Westley cared so much about.
âMr. Hughes, things like this shouldnât make you curious. Itâs not good for your health,â he said as he drank up the remaining wine in one gulp, put down the empty glass, and cleaned his mouth with a napkin. Todayâs lunch was over for him. He wasnât in a good mood to eat anymore.
of course, I understand,â Brent replied, Hodding his head. He was menaible businessman. He knew clearly what he should be curious about and what he shouldnât. He didnât want to poke his nose into where he wasnât wanted.
âI hope we can continue to cooperate happily in the future. Iâve already seen and read the advertising plan of the Hughes Group for the new season, and Iâm very satisfied with it. Iâll sign the contract and make sure Alvin sends it to you as soon as possible.â
Westley stood up and was about to take his leave.
âAll right, Mr. Morris, I will wait patiently. Take care.â
Brent stood up and watched as Westley left.
âThank you for your invitation to lunch this noon. Iâll be the one to invite you next time,â he said happily. Westley had already walked away. His broad and straight back looked very inherent and unbridled.
When he got in to the car, Alvin handed him a cup of coffee.
âAre you going back to the company now, Mr. Morris?â Alvin asked. He was about to start the car so that they could leave.
âDonât leave in a hurry, Alvin.â Westley took a sip of coffee and leaned back on the car seat What else do you need me to do, Mr. Monis? Just tell me and Iâll take action immediately.â He looked back at his boss.
When he went out for lunch with Mr. Hughes, he seemed to be in a good mood. Or did the meeting not go well between the both of them?
âDidnât the Hughes Group agree to do the advertisement for the Morris Group next season?â Alvin thought deeply.
This was what he was worried about.
Besides, the Hughes Group had been working very well with the Morris Group for quite some time now.
âGo to the Fragrance Restaurant and order some green dishes for Gabrielle. Sheâs in there,â Westley said to Alvin as he pointed at the restaurant.
