Lock You In My Heart Chapter 397

After taking the documents, Gabrielle went back to the studio directly. Unexpectedly, she met Jackson there. He was rarely there at that time.

She was surprised at the manner in which he looked at her. He seemed quite unfriendly. Rather, he looked as if he was disgusted to see her.

Gabrielle was taken aback because she had no idea how she had offended the man. She thought for a while and concluded that perhaps she had made him unhappy yesterday, when they were together with Melissa.

She hadn’t expected that he was someone who carried anger and revenge for so long. But she’d had enough of it.

“Jackson, good to see that you’ve come to the company. I bought two cups of milk tea, and they are still hot. Would you like to have a cup? I just bought it and haven’t opened it yet.” Gabrielle was holding two cups of milk tea in her hands. Though one was for herself and the other one was for Lolita. But now that she met Jackson, as a junior, she was obliged to give her own cup of milk tea to him. Maybe it could be a compensation for what happened yesterday.

“Gabrielle, I don’t need it! And you don’t have to make efforts to please me. However hard you try to please me, you won’t get any mercy from me.” His tone was as cold as the words he spoke.

Gabrielle was distraught.

She got a feeling that things between her and Jackson had gone worse. And she knew that whenever they saw each other, she would definitely be rebuked by him. And being a junior, she could not refute him.

Gabrielle was already disturbed and now this. It just worsened her mood. She walked back to her workroom with the cups of milk tea.

“Here Lolita, I brought you milk tea.” She handed a cup to Lolita and began to drink her own tea.

The milk tea, which always tasted delicious, now seemed to be bland and tasteless. Meeting Jackson at the door had been depressing and already had affected her.

Gabrielle was in an awful mood now. So, it did not matter how sweet the milk tea was. She just didn’t know how it tasted as her mind and heart were disturbed.

“Gabrielle, thank you for the milk tea. But.... What’s wrong with you?” Lolita was sipping the tea happily. But when she saw the angry look on Gabrielle’s face, she became worried.

“Nothing! How do you like the milk tea?” Gabrielle asked curiously.

She was actually trying to make sure if something was wrong with the milk tea or her sense of taste.

“Nothing wrong with it! The tea still carries the same taste. Honestly, it’s just delicious!” Lolita took another sip of it.

Seeing Lolita devouring the tea so happily, Gabrielle was certain that her mood was affecting her taste buds. And it was because of Jackson that she was in of tea aside and began to read the information.

From now on, Gabrielle had to begin the preparations for the new but was the hottest star in advertising, and a goddess for men. Though she was Westley’s cousin, Gabrielle had to treat her as an ordinary guest. She tried her best to design a set of special jewelry for Michelle.

“Gabrielle, you don’t look well. What’s wrong with you?” Lolita asked her. She was feeling worried.

“Lolita, I’m fine. You can go back to your own work. I’ve got to read these things.” Gabrielle urged her to leave. say anything more. She took her cup of milk tea and went back to her seat. There was worry and anxiety on her face.

Soon, the phone on Gabrielle’s desk rang. Her hand instinctively reached out and she answered it without hesitation.

“Hello. This is Gabrielle...”

“Come to my office!” A cold voice seemed to shout into the phone.

“Who is this?” Gabrielle was confused. She felt that the voice was a little familiar, but the best thing to do was to ask.

“J ackson!” Then, the man on the other side hung up.

Gabrielle sat there in a daze for a long time. There was an uneasy look on her face, while she was still holding the phone that had been disconnected.

Did Jackson ask her to come to his office?

They had just run into each other at the door and he hadn’t seemed very happy to see her. Now why was he calling her to his office? From his voice, he seemed quite upset and unhappy.

Quite naturally, she was scared and didn’t want to go there at all.

“Gabrielle, who called you? Why did the person sound so angry?” Lolita leaned over and slowly asked Gabrielle. Although there was a distance between them, the voice was so loud that Lolita had been able to hear it. And she was able to conclude that it was unfriendly.

“Jackson wants to see me. I’ll go and check. Take care of things here till I return. You can call me if anything happens.” Standing firmly, Gabrielle took a deep breath. Then she ran upstairs with her phone clutched in her hand.

It was not that Jackson had a bad temper. The problem was that he had a very strange temper. No one could figure out what kind of person he was, or what his mood could be.

However, Gabrielle knew that she had to listen to him without asking any unnecessary questions.

Soon, Gabrielle reached Jackson’s office. She steadied herself and knocked on the door.

“Jackson, it’s me, Gabrielle!” she said like an obedient student.

All the official designers had their own personal offices. And there was one especially for the design director, Jackson. He had a luxurious office, but many people felt that such an office was simply a waste for him.

He didn’t deserve to have an office since he would visit it very few times. He visited the office just three times in a month.

But Jackson was allowed to have the same office as Jason. After all, he was regarded to be so talented and capable.

“Come in!” the cold voice ordered from inside.

Gabrielle’s hand seemed like it had frozen on the metal handle. She didn’t have the courage to push the door in and open it.

Taking a deep breath, Gabrielle pushed the door open. The sooner she faced it, the better it would be, she felt as she stepped in.

As soon as the door opened, he started scolding her.

“Gabrielle, are you a plant? I thought you had developed roots and would sprout in a minute. How long did you intend to stand outside the door? I thought it was time to pour some water for you.” Jackson was dissatisfied and mad at her, so he spat all kinds of words at her.

Gabrielle started regretting the moment when she had pushed the door open and walked in. She wouldn’t have come upstairs if it weren’t for Jackson’s shouting on the phone.

However, there was no escape. Even if Jackson had a bad temper, she had to endure it.

After all there was nothing she could do. He was the director, while she was just a design assistant.

In this world, people always see the famous people.

Who would want to see those obscure people? They didn’t even have the right to speak.

When she was strong, capable and famous enough, who would scold her like that?

She didn’t need to show respect to anyone.

Her designs and ability were enough to prove it all.

Gabrielle didn’t have any of her own designs on display. She felt that it allowed others to scold her in that way.

So, she had to work hard. When she would become famous in the future, she would be on an equal footing with Jackson. She would never be afraid of him?

If she would use her own work to convince Jackson, she was sure that he wouldn’t be so picky about her in the future. She didn’t owe him anything, after all.

As of this moment, only one thing seemed to be stuck in her mind. She had to calm down and be patient.

“Jackson, what can I do for you?” Gabrielle prepared herself to face them all. She gently asked.
