Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 331 Quarrelling Jason glanced at Lolitaâs sleeping face and saw that it was slightly red, probably due to excess stress on her body.
âDid she tell you that she had diarrhea last night? She didnât sleep well last night, did she?â Jason frowned and asked Gabrielle.
He was extremely worried.
âYes. She said that she hadnât slept well since she got up in the middle of the night with severe stomach ache. Where did you take Lolita to eat last night? What did she eat?â
Gabrielle asked with curiosity.
Barbecue! She wanted to eat that.â Jason Teplied calmly.
âHmm. Lolita stayed in Paris for a few years. Looks like she has got used to the light food there. Now she canât adapt to the spicy and picante food like barbecue. If she eats too much of it, she is bound to suffer from indigestion.â Gabrielle explained Lolitaâs condition to him.
She knew it because she had caten hot pot, spicy pot and barbecue with Lolita several times beure. Lolita enjoyed it a lot while eating, but suffered a lot after eating it. She would feel uncomfortable with the heartburn.
After some time, Gabrielle had found out that Lolita couldnât eat spicy food. Her system could not bear the spiced and hot food âIt could lead to such serious condition. I wish I had known it earlier. And Lolita didnât tell anything to me.â Looking at the girl, who was sleeping soundly with her head resting on the table, Jason felt a little distressed and sad.
He felt he had something to do with Lolitaâs suffering and troubles. After all, it was he who took her to eat a midnight snack âDonât worry. Lolita really likes eating these kind of food. She often says that she didnât have any authentic Chinese food abroad, so she must eat as much as she can when sheâs back. She will be fine after taking rest. She always keeps her medicines for heartburn and diarrhea at home!â Gabrielle tried to comfort Jason.
She really wanted Jason to stop feeling sad and remorseful. After all, Gabrielle knew Lolita pretty well Lolita never acted according to the normal behavior, and was very impulsive. She was someone whoâd definitely do whatever she wanted to do.
She never thought of the consequences.
Therefore, Gabrielle knew that it must have been Lolita who proposed to have the barbecue, and Jason had been dragged along by her.
âAlways keeps medicines to these things at home? How wayward Lolita is? Does she often get herself in such situations It was the first time that Jason heard such a thing. He wondered how someone could do such a thing to herself. He was surprised on hearing it. But he felt sorry for her.
He knew that Lolita was an innocent and delightful person. But it was surprising to know that she could torture herself like this.
âWhat a stupid girl!
She canât even take good care of herself, Jason wondered.
âMay I ask you a question, Jason?â Gabrielle couldnât help herself. She loaked intently at Jason, and was eager to ask him the question that had been pressing on her mind all this time.
âYes. Go ahead.â Jasonâs eyes were still lixed on Lolita. He couldnât hide his worries for her.
Gabrielle started to speak. âJason, you...â
âJason! What are you doing here? Now that youâre here, I have to tell you something!â Vivianâs voice interrupted Gabrielle.
Gabrielle was taken aback to see her there. She looked over and saw Vivian, She looked clean and beautiful in a black suit and was walking towards them. She strode ahead in high heels, as though gliding in the air.
âWhy? Whatâs the matter?â Jason looked at Vivian with surprise.
âWell, I wanted to discuss with you about somc work. If you have to discuss something with Gabrielle, Iâll wait for you in your office.â Throwing a sharp glance at Gabrielle, Vivian looked back at Jason.
âVivian, Jason is here to teach me about some material. Nothing that canât wait. If you have something to discuss with him, you can go firstâ Gabrielle said as she forced a smile and looked at Vivian.
âokay. If you say so!â Vivian replied indifferently. Then she turned to look at Lolita, who was still bent forward across the table in deep sleep. Vivian immediately realized that she had found someone to vent her anger and frustration âLolita!â she called out at the top of her voice. It was too late for Gabrielle and Jason to stop Vivian from her vicious act. Lolita was awaken by Vivianâs shout.
When she suddenly opened her eyes and saw three people standing in front of her, Lolita was shocked. âMr. Foster! Vivian!
âLolita, I believe these are your working hours. Why are you sleeping liere? Didnât you sleep last night? Were you out fooling around? This is a place for work, not to sleep and while away your time. If you want to sleep, go home!â Vivian immediately started screaming at Lolita. It was clearly a show of the title and position of a senior.
She didnât dislike Lolita, but because Lolita was very close to Gabrielle, she always targeted her. In the studio, the two of them were as good as sisters. And that disturbed Vivian a lot.
What Vivian didnât know was that Lolita and Jason had worked overtime these two days and even had gone for midnight snack together. If she came to know, clearly she would get Lolita skinned alive.
âIâm... Iâm really sorry. Vivian! Mr. Foster! I know I was wrong. I fell asleep because I was too tired and my stomach ache is unbearable.â Lolita stood up in a hurry and explained it all.
âThereâs no reason or justification for you to sleep in the studio. If youâre really feeling uncomfortable, you can go to home or to the hospital. Donât sleep here. Itâs not right and we donât want the client to see it here. Maybe you donât feel disgraced by doing something like that. But the studio does, and so does Jason!â Vivian scolded Lolita as if she was the hostess and owner of the studio.
Gabrielle couldnât stand it anymore. She was going overboard now. But before she could say anything, Jason spoke: âVivian! Iâm here too and I havenât said anything yet.â
Hearing the words and the tone of Jasonâs speech, Vivian realized that she had gone too far. She was in a fit of anger, and started rebuking Lolita in front of Jason âJason, Iâm sorry. I just...â
âVivian, I know youâre doing this for the benefit of the studio. But when an employee is not feeling well, shouldnât you consider his or her health first? It is more important than the studioâs reputation! Besides, as long as she doesnât do anything against the law or damages the interests of the studio, itâs not a big deal. Itâs understandable that she fell asleep because she is not feeling well.â
Jasonâs face darkened as he tried to be calm and composed. Obviously, he was protecting Lolita.
However, Vivian didnât see it that way. She thought that Jason was just trying to protect the self-esteem of the employee, Lolita.
She didnât realize that because she was Loo eager to show her care for the studio, the whole thing turned against her. Jason almost hated her now.
âI understand, Jason. Iâll be careful next time,â Vivian said with a serious look on her face.
âVivian, you are the chief designer of our studio. You canât just be competent in your designs, without affinity. Itâs enough to have Jackson as that kind of designer. I donât want all the designers in our studio to only have their work done here and be cold and ruthless to their colleagues.â Jasonâs voice was very calm and cool, but there was no trace of tendemess in it.
âJason, I know I was wrong. I assure you, I will pay attention to it in the future.â Vivian immediately got down her high horse and took the initiative to apologize.
âMr. Foster! Vivian! Itâs all my fault. Please donât get angry because of me.â Lolita hurriedly stopped both of them from arguing any more. Something told her that she had made a big mistake.
She was shocked by the way things were now. She had just taken a nap for a while, but the boss and the chief designer were quarreling with each other because of that. Feeling that she had caused a big trouble, Lolita looked at Gabrielle uneasily.
Gabrielle shook her head as a gesture to convey to her that it was fine.
âLolita, are you still feeling uncomfortable about your stomach?â Jason asked with concern.
Lolita didnât know whether she should nod or shake her head. At last, she decided to nod. âWell, Iâm not feeling well, but Iâm too embarrassed to ask for leave.â
âWell, now I permit you to go to the hospital and take good rest at home. You donât have to come back to work today,â Jason ordered He did that to prevent Vivian from creating more trouble for Lolita. He too knew that Vivian was really a scheming woman.
Lolita was surprised at first when she heard his words. Then she looked into the cold eyes of Vivian. She immediately understood what Jason meant and nodded in agreement. âYes, Mr. Foster. Iâll go to the hospital right now. Thank you so much!â
Gabrielle, go along with Lolita. Come back to the studio in the afternoon. Come directly to me!â Jason turned and Tooked at Gabrielle with a smile on his face.
âOkay! I got it. I have to accompany Lolita to the hospital and then send her back home.â Gabrielle announced as if she was taking up a glorious task.
âAlright Vivian, letâs go.â Having given them instructions, Jason glanced at Vivian. He turned around and strode away quickly
