Lock You In My Heart Chapter 399

When Gabrielle returned to her workroom, she ran into Jason.

“Jason, I need to talk to you about something,” she said.

Jason turned his attention towards her and smiled. “Does it have anything to do with Jackson’s task for Michelle?”

His words took Gabrielle by surprise, but then she smiled at him. “It seems that I really can’t hide anything from you, huh? That’s exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. I just came from Jackson’s office.”

“Jackson has thought it through and wants to take this order. Of course, I’m happy to give it to him,” Jason said with a smile.

In Gabrielle’s eyes, seeing him smile like that made him look like a sly old fox.

Even though he was just smiling, it was so apparent that he was up to something.

“Look, it’s fine if he wants to take the order. But why do I have to follow him around as his assistant? He doesn’t even like me that much.” Gabrielle calmly expressed her thought.

“Gabrielle, you’re the assistant of the person in charge of the final design. You were briefly my assistant back when we were working together. Now that the order has been transferred to Jackson, it’s only natural for you to be his assistant. Don’t you agree, Lolita?” Jason asked, glancing at Lolita.

She looked back at him first, then at Gabrielle, and then she turned her attention to him again. “I agree with Mr. Foster.”

On one hand was her friend, and on the other was her boss. Naturally, she had to stand on her boss’ side. Lolita was a practical woman, and more importantly, Jason’s reasoning was sound.

“You see, Gabrielle? Lolita shares my sentiment, so that means I’m correct. You say that Jackson hates you, but let’s be honest;

he hates everyone. His temper in the office is legendary. We all know that! He acknowledges people based on their efforts and work etiquette. If you want him to stop hating you, you should show him how good you are at work, and render him speechless!”

Jason argued.

Everyone knew what they must do, but it was easier said than done.

“Of course, I know that. But...”

“Gabrielle, you’re my apprentice. I know how good you are. I’m sure you can make a great impression on Jackson. Do you not have enough confidence in yourself, so you believe you can’t do it?” Jason asked calmly.

“It’s not that I don’t know if you’re the one who sent me there or if it’s Jackson who requested me to be there.” Gabrielle wasn’t backing got to be there.

After all, there was a difference between those two situations.

If Jason were the one who wanted her to assist Jackson, it meant that he wanted her to learn from Jackson.

But if Jackson was the one who requested her presence, it meant that he was planning to make her work life miserable.

She had offended Jackson thoroughly the last time they saw each other.

“What difference does “There’s a difference,” Gabrielle answered seriously.

“Then what is it? If I tell you the answer, will it help you learn better? Whether we want to admit it or not, Jackson is a great teacher. I’m asking you to learn from him. This is a good opportunity for you. Seize it. Normal people rarely get the chance to even get close to him,” Jason said as he looked into her eyes.

At this point, Gabrielle said doing this for her own good.

“I understand, Jason. I’ll work hard under Jackson’s tutelage,” she replied.

“I think you’re a good gi rl,” said Jason.

“I also think highly of you, Gabrielle.” Lolita got up, gesturing at Gabrielle to encourage her.

Meanwhile, Gabrielle rolled her eyes at Lolita. This woman was siding with Jason more and more.

“Anyway, you should get back to work. I’ll be leaving now. If anything happens, just talk to me about it.” After casting them one more glance, Jason turned around and walked away.

Once he was gone, Gabrielle immediately glared at Lolita. “What is the matter with you, Lolita? Why are you siding with Jason?

Is there something happening that I don’t know?”

Upon hearing that, Lolita was stunned. She immediately rushed to Gabrielle’s side and hugged her. “I’m so sorry about that, Gabrielle. You misunderstood me. Nothing is happening between me and Mr. Foster. I am merely his subordinate; nothing more, nothing less.”

“You must think I’m a fool to believe what you said.” Gabrielle refused to believe that their relationship was that simple.

Lolita frowned at her response. “If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I have left to say to you, Gabrielle. I really am not involved with Mr. Foster. If we’re talking about a bond, the one you and I share is even stronger than steel!”

‘Stronger than steel, she says,’ Gabrielle thought to herself as she burst into laughter.

‘How amusing she is!’

“I do know that we have a strong bond, Lolita. But a few seconds ago, you were siding with him!” Gabrielle preferred to settle disputes with others right away instead of holding a grudge.

Mere moments ago, Lolita took Jason’s side. She wanted to settle that matter with her right away.

“Gabrielle, it saddens me to hear you say that. You’ve misjudged me.” Lolita shook Gabrielle’s arm, staring at her with pleading eyes.

“Tell me, how did I misjudge you?” Gabrielle calmed down, deciding to give her a chance to explain.

Lolita smiled at her and handed her a glass of water. “Here, drink some water,” she said.

“Fine. I’ll drink it.” Gabrielle took the glance and took a sip.

“Now, explain.”

“Our boss is the person whom we all depend on, so it’s only natural for the employees to side with him. I’m not the kind of person who can’t distinguish right from wrong. You’re now working as Jackson’s assistant, and Mr. Frost is right, you can learn a lot from Jackson. Everyone in the company, and even those in the entire circle know how bad that man’s temper is. He has a sharp gaze, and an even sharper tongue. There’s nothing attractive about him, except for the fact that he is the most talented designer in this company.” It turned out that Lolita had carefully analyzed the benefits of studying under Jackson’s tutelage.

Naturally, Gabrielle knew that as well.

Jackson was a good designer, and an even better teacher. But that depended on whether he would be willing to teach her.

If he didn’t teach her anything, she would have to learn from him by herself in secret.

“Well, your performance will definitely convince Jackson. When that time comes, if he competes with Mr. Foster for you, what will you do? Will you leave Mr. Foster for him?” Lolita had already thought of a good plan for Gabrielle.

Amused by her words, Gabrielle suddenly knocked Lolita on the head. “You have a vivid imagination. I’m not that good.”

“Not yet, at least. But you’ll definitely be able to do it in the future. It’s not impractical to plan ahead, you know! So, when you’re faced with that dilemma, will you choose to stay, or go with Jackson?” Lolita was really looking forward to.
