Lock You In My Heart Chapter 398

When confronted with Gabrielle’s calm demeanor, Jackson was somewhat taken aback.

After all, his attitude toward Gabrielle had always been so bad that he sometimes despised himself. He didn’t even understand why seeing this woman made his temper very bad.

Therefore, he was kind of worried that she might treat him with the same bad attitude. Turned out she didn’t get angry at all and even asked him sincerely and humbly.

This, however, did not change his opinion of her. In his eyes, she was still the woman with the fake attitude.

She used her fake attitude to deceive others and get everything easily, just like she did to deceive Jason and Melissa.

However, Jackson felt that he was not naive enough to believe that.

“I’ll take over Michelle’s order,” he declared coldly.

‘He wants to take over Michelle’s order?’ Gabrielle couldn’t help but question those words in her head.

Her eyes, wide with amazement, quickly turned to meet Jackson’s. Earlier, when Jason was planning to assign the work to Jackson, he had no desire to accept it.

It hadn’t been long since then. Now, Jackson had changed his mind about taking over the order. Gabrielle couldn’t help but wonder why he had such a change of mind.

However, Jackson’s interest in taking over Michelle’s order was good for Gabrielle. After all, Michelle had wanted it.

It was just that she didn’t understand why Jackson asked her to come and tell her about it specifically.

“I see, Jackson. Did you ask me to come up to tell me about this? Is there anything else?” As she questioned, she couldn’t help but hope that there would be nothing else.

“Am I that unreasonable, Gabrielle? Do you think I asked you to come here only to tell you that news?” Jackson glanced at Gabrielle unkindly, with an indescribable indifference in his eyes.

‘So, he didn’t?’ Gabrielle thought to herself.

Indeed, in her eyes, Jackson was such a boring and unreasonable person.

So, for her, it did quite make sense that he called her over to merely inform her about it.

“So, do you have anything else to tell me?” Gabrielle looked at him seriously, trying to my assistant, Gabrielle. I heard that you and Michelle are close, and besides, I don’t like talking to strangers. So you will future.” Jackson gave out a firm instruction.

Hearing those words, Gabrielle understood the things right away.

Turned out that her main responsibility as Jackson’s assistant was to communicate with Michelle.

It was just that Jackson’s justification of not wanting to talk to strangers made her a little unacceptable.

As a jewelry designer, it was unavoidable for Jackson to communicate with customers, which could also be referred to as strangers. ‘So, is he telling people After all, he wouldn’t be able to satisfy the customers if he skipped the communication process with them.

They designed jewelry exclusively for each individual customer, not like others who made it for large-scale production. So, communication with customers was a vital link.

Even if Jackson hated it so much, he still needed to get through that process.

“Jackson, how did you communicate with the customers before?” Gabrielle questioned as a glint of curiosity assistants, and they did the talk,” Jackson said quite domineeringly.

Alright, then. Jackson was the boss, after all. How would Gabrielle be able to groan at his decision?

“So, you need me just to communicate with Michelle? But, what if she wants to discuss with you rather than me?” Gabrielle couldn’t help but inquire as she was curious.

“Gabrielle, I think it is your job to deal with. If I can manage it all by myself, what point do I need you for? Communication is your first job, and the second is to cooperate with me when I’m designing. Do you understand?” Jackson coldly set the working lists for her.

Gabrielle gazed at Jackson, a puz zled expression on her face. ‘I haven’t said I’ll be your assistant, have I?’ Her expression clearly conveyed her thought.

“Jackson, about me being your assistant, is it simply your decision, or is it what Jason said?” Gabrielle eventually voiced her thoughts as she felt she needed to find an answer.

Jackson was just too difficult to deal with. Although the jewelry he designed was excellent, his temper was incredibly fiery. The more perfect his design was, the fierier his temper seemed to be.

No one knew how many assistants he had changed since just a few people could stand him.

“Of course, it was Jason’s arrangement. Otherwise, why would I take you as my assistant? If you think you’re not capable of being my assistant, just get your ass out of here and go back to Jason. Tell him directly that you are not that competent and take the initiative to quit.” Jackson didn’t show Gabrielle any mercy as he spat those venomous words right in her face.

What Jackson said was not only offensive, but it was also apparent that he was trying to provoke Gabrielle.

If she ended up making a scene in front of Jason, saying that she didn’t want to be Jackson’s assistant, it was equivalent to admitting that she did not have the ability to be Jackson’s assistant.

Then she would no longer have any qualifications to be a jewelry designer’s assistant.

What a horrible trap he had set!

Gabrielle couldn’t help but wonder how much hatred Jackson had for her after sensing his ulterior motives. The only reason he’d been plotting schemes for so long was to drive her out of the jewelry design industry.

“I will cooperate with your work and try hard to be a qualified assistant, I promise.” Gabrielle made a serious guarantee.

Hearing Gabrielle’s words of promise, Jackson was taken aback, and a startled expression flashed across his face. He couldn’t tell whether Gabrielle was simply dumb or just faking again. He’d spoken such hurtful things, yet she didn’t seem bothered at all.

‘Is she an idiot or something?’

“Gabrielle, being my assistant isn’t any easier than being Jason’s student. Have you thought it through? Once you become my assistant, you can’t just quit anytime you want before the order is done.” What Jackson said was not a threat but simply just a fact.

“I know, Jackson. I know exactly what I’m doing. Anything you need me to deal with, just tell me.” Gabrielle kept a smiling face in front of Jackson, but deep down in her heart, she had been cursing him fiercely the whole time.

“You can leave now. Tomorrow I want you to be in my office at eight.”

Jackson said this coldly.

Jackson thought he would be able to get rid of this woman easily. After all, he simply didn’t want a female assistant by his side.

He had only hired male assistants before because he always felt that women were simply troublesome, especially someone like Gabrielle, whom he despised even more. She pulled strings to get here by relying on Austin, and Jackson looked down on people like that.

However, the thing was, Gabrielle was somewhat the apple of Jason’s eyes. Moreover, she had made Melissa like her so much.

Thus, Jackson felt somewhat interested in her and how she managed to fool those people into trusting her.

This time, Gabrielle had an opportunity to be an assistant by his side. Naturally, Jackson would not pass up a chance like this, where he would be able to uncover how this woman was pulling strings in the back and what she was capable of.

Even after all of those intimidating and complaining moments, she didn’t give up on sticking with him.

Thus, just like a saying that stated to keep the enemy closer, Jackson decided to welcome her to his side.

“Alright, Jackson. See you at eight tomorrow.” After saying that, Gabrielle left immediately without wasting a second.

Once she was out of Jackson’s office, Gabrielle exhaled heavily and then patted herself on the chest.

She had the feeling that if she remained in his office for another second, her soul would be out of her body.
