Lock You In My Heart Chapter 391
Lock You In My Heart
There was only one thought in Gabrielleâs mind right now. It seemed that Jackson was hating her more and more, and was now beginning to develop resentment towards her.
âMs. Glyn, I donât need him to send me there. Iâm perfectly capable of going there myself.â Naturally, she didnât want to trouble him any further.
She could see the hostility in his eyes, so she dared not bother him again.
If things were to go on like this, Jackson might find her the most annoying person in the world.
âLook, Gabrielle, youâre a lady, and Jackson, youâre a man and youâre her senior. Itâs your duty to escort her there,â Melissa said gently.
Her reasoning was sound, so Jackson was unable to refute it.
âI really donât need him to send me back, Ms. Glyn. You donât have to do this...â
âMs. Glyn, rest assured that Iâll take her to her destination safely.â Jackson interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.
Having heard that, Melissa smiled at him. âGood. Iâll leave Gabrielle in your capable hands. Make sure to send her back safely.â
âUnderstood, Madame. Iâll do my best.â Having said that, Jackson turned to Gabrielle, and said, âLetâs go.â
Afterwards, he strode out of the room, giving her the cold shoulder.
Gabrielle was left speechless of his behavior. He was the complete opposite of Melissa.
âGabrielle, donât worry about him. Heâs all bark and no bite. Once you get to know him better, youâll understand that heâs a good man. Heâs not that bad. Donât take his attitude too seriously.â Melissa tried to appease Gabrielleâs worries.
Upon hearing that, Gabrielle smiled. âI understand, Ms. Glyn. Iâve known him for over six months. Everyone in the company knows about his temper. I wonât take it to heart.â
âIâm relieved to hear that. Anyway, you should go. Take care, okay?â said Melissa.
âGoodbye, Ms. Glyn.â
Soon, Gabrielle arrived at the gate of the hotel. Upon seeing her, Jackson pulled over to her side, casting her a frigid glance.
âGet in the car. Now!â
Without hesitation, Gabrielle got in and sat in the backseat.
The second she got in, she felt a chill run down her spine. Normally, whenever Jackson wasnât angry, she was still frightened to be around him. But now that he was visibly displeased, she was so scared that she keeping you waiting, Jackson,â Gabrielle remarked.
She wanted to apologize in order to appease his angry. Otherwise, if he were car into a ditch or something.
âIâve been waiting for you for a long time, but you still didnât come downstairs. I think you did it on purpose,â he snorted.
Gabrielle realized that whatever she said now would only be wrong in his eyes.
Thus, she just clammed up and sat there with her gaze cast down. She then took out her phone to send a message to Westley, asking him where he was.
Instead of calming down, he became even angrier.
âThis woman really pisses me off!â he cursed inwardly.
âWhere are you going?â Jackson said through gritted teeth.
âTo the commercial street,â Gabrielle stated casually.
She had no intention of asking him to send her back. This man appeared just about ready to strangle her.
Jackson started the engine and drove to the destination.
Meanwhile, Gabrielle remained silent and continued playing with her phone.
Westley still hadnât replied to her message, so she casually browsed through the apps on her phone to avoid creating an awkward atmosphere between her and Jackson.
âGabrielle, you know, youâre very ungrateful!â Jackson snarled after a while.
All this time, she had just been browsing through her phone to distract herself, and didnât say anything to him.
But even so, Jackson got mad at her.
âWhy did he say that Iâm ungrateful?â she wondered.
âJackson, what do you mean?â Gabrielle put down her phone, visibly confused as she looked at the back of his head.
âIsnât he taking it too far? All I did was to ask him to drive me to the commercial street. Why is he scolding me?
If he didnât want to drive me there, he couldâve just said so,â she thought to herself.
âJackson, Iâm aware that you donât like me, and perhaps you even hate me, but if you really donât want to do this for me, you can just pull over somewhere and drop me off. I can just hail a cab myself.â Although Gabrielle looked meek, she wasnât going to eat humble pie whenever she was being deliberately humiliated.
She also had pride, and she valued her dignity. There was no way she would let anyone humiliate her.
âAt the very least, youâre aware of things. Itâs good that you know how much I dislike you, but thatâs not what I wanted to say. Iâve already promised Melissa to escort you to your destination, and I intend to do just that.â The sound of Jacksonâs voice was extremely frigid.
âHe always talks like that. How annoying!â Gabrielle really wanted to strangle him to death.
âSo, what do you want to say?â She finally lost her patience.
âDo you know how many people want to invite Melissa to dinner, Gabrielle? Very few people have ever had that chance, and itâs even rarer that she offered to have dinner with you.â Jackson decided not to divulge any information other than that.
But Gabrielle was smart enough to understand that he wasnât angry at her for having to send her to her destination. He was actually mad at her for refusing to have dinner with Melissa.
âJackson, I...â
âGet out of the car!â Jackson pulled over at once.
Gabrielle was stunned. He just said that he had promised Melissa to drop her off at her destination. She wondered why he would suddenly pull over and ask her to get out.
âWhat do you mean, Jackson?â she asked.
To be perfectly honest, she could never understand whatever he was thinking. This man just did whatever he wanted to do.
âWerenât you the one who asked me to pull over? Now that I did as you said, get out!â he snorted.
Gabrielle finally knew what shoot herself in the foot meant.
Shortly afterwards, she opened the door and got out of the car.
After all, she was a woman of integrity. Now that she had said those words, her only choice was to go through with it.
âThank you, Jackson...â
Before she could even finish her sentence, the car had already driven away, and the smoke from the exhaust sprayed onto her face.
âFuck!
Jackson, you vengeful bastard!â she cursed inwardly.
âAll I did was to refuse Melissaâs invitation to dinner. Why is he so angry? Heâs not the one who was refused!â
Just then, her phone rang. Gabrielle opened the screen.
It was a message from Westley.
âWhere are you?â the message said.
Gabrielle sent him her location directly, so that he could know exactly where she was.
