Lock You In My Heart Chapter 542
Lock You In My Heart
Gabrielle turned around and saw Melissa step out of the car. She was wearing a navy blue embroidered cheongsam that complemented her skin tone and figure. She looked beautiful. âItâs Ms. Glyn. Iâm going to greet her.â The moment Gabrielle grabbed the door handle, Westley swept her into his arms and kissed her. Gabrielle was taken aback. Before she could protest, he pulled back and smiled at her. âGo ahead. Iâll wait for you here.â âOkay.â
Gabrielle pushed the door open, got out of the car, and strutted toward Melissa. âMs. Glyn.â She smiled. âYou are here. You came early.â Melissa smiled in return and glanced at Gabrielleâs car. She understood they had arrived a long time ago. Although Westley didnât get out of the car, she knew Gabrielle had come with him today. After all, he was Gabrielleâs husband. She felt that Gabrielle was happy because her husband loved and doted on her. Although Melissa disliked the Morris family, she was willing to accept Westley, as Gabrielleâs husband.
âMs. Glyn, we just arrived,â Gabrielle explained hurriedly. âGabrielle, I want to introduce you to a friend.â Melissa smiled and held Gabrielleâs hand. âOkay. Who is it?â Although Gabrielle didnât want to make new friends, she didnât mind getting along with the person Melissa wanted her to meet. âNathan, are you ready?â she shouted, turning to look at the car. âJust a second, Ms. Glyn,â
replied a resonant male voice.
A frown lined Gabrielleâs forehead. She was reluctant to meet the stranger now. After all, he was a man. Westley was a jealous husband, so she subconsciously tried avoiding the meeting. She couldnât casually get along with a man. However, Melissa wanted to introduce her to the man. Therefore, Gabrielle couldnât refuse. As she agitatedly bounced on the spot, a tall, handsome man stepped out of the car. He was wearing a well-tailored dark blue suit that accentuated his physique. âNathan, this is the Gabrielle Jones I met in Antawood. She is a promising jewelry designer.
I have a lot of faith in her.â âGabrielle, this is Nathan â my friendâs son.â âNice to meet you, Ms. Jones. Iâm Nathan Sanderson.
Ms. Glyn has been talking about you ever since she returned to Ensfield. Iâve been eagerly waiting to see you. I didnât expect to meet you here. You are more beautiful than I thought.â Nathan was a handsome man. His dark eyes raked across Gabrielleâs face. Gabrielleâs stomach clenched when she saw him smiling at her.
âThank you, Mr. Sanderson. Iâm flattered.â Gabrielle forced a smile and shook hands with him before quickly withdrawing her hand. Although Nathan looked gentle and modest, a voice in Gabrielleâs heart told her that the man was dangerous, so she didnât want to get closer to him. Everyone wore a mask to shield their true nature, and so did Nathan. Moreover, his surname was Sanderson, and he was from Ensfield.
The eerie coincidence made her stomach clench. She didnât mean to save Victor before, which had put Westley in trouble. She wanted to stay away from the man in front of her. She couldnât help but wonder what relationship Nathan shared with Victor. The Sanderson Family was still hostile to each other. Considering the ongoing fierce internal strife, getting involved with any member of the Sanderson Family would be life -threatening. She had to stay away from the family to protect herself, as well as Westley.
âGabrielle, donât be so modest. I have faith in you.
You have a keen eye for jewelry design. You need to have more faith in yourself,â Melissa said, looking at Gabrielle in awe. âI agree. You came from Antawood. Maybe you donât know how influential Ms. Glyn is in Ensfield. Young talents and amateurs have been working hard to be her disciples, but she has refused them all. But if she finds a talented person, she would take them under her wings and hone their skills without expecting anything in return. She has been doing all this to establish a strong foundation for young jewelry designers to develop the jewelry design industry.
To be honest, youâre the first person Ms. Glyn has ever praised. So donât belittle yourself,â Nathan said intently, staring into Gabrielleâs eyes. His words startled Gabrielle. Not knowing what to say, she smiled gratefully at Melissa. âDo I come across as a talented designer to her?â she wondered. âGabrielle, Nathan is telling the truth. I do admire your talent and have high hopes about you.
But his statement about people wanting to be my disciples is an exaggeration. I am not as great as he portrays me to be.â
Melissa chuckled. âMs. Glyn, you are the representative of our jewelry design industry. You are the leader, the authority, and I admire you very much. I donât think itâs an exaggeration. You are indeed great.â Gabrielle meant every word she said.
She seldom got the chance to express her reverence for Melissa, so Gabrielle didnât hesitate to speak her heart out. âMs. Glyn, do you now believe my words? The future star thinks the same about you. You need to understand the influence you have over youngsters who dream of becoming successful jewelry designers.â Nathan smiled, revealing his dimples that added a charm to his already handsome face. Gabrielle stared at him, for she hadnât seen dimples on a man before. It made him look adorable.
âMs. Jones, what are you looking at?â Nathan asked.
Gabrielle blinked and snapped back to her senses, her face flushing with embarrassment. âMr. Sanderson, Iâm sorry. I. âDimples are a rare sight on men. Isnât that what you are thinking right now?â âYes, itâs quite rare. But your dimples are very beautiful,â
Gabrielle said honestly. Nathan laughed at her compliment as his dimples grew more prominent. âMs. Jones, youâre the first person who has praised me for my beautiful dimples.â âReally? I mean, they are very beautiful. Hasnât anyone told you that before?â Nathanâs statement surprised Gabrielle. After all, anyone who noticed his dimples would admire them.
Some people would fondly call such dimples the âdimple of the beautyâ. Only beautiful people had such dimples. Nathan was a good-looking man. He wasnât masculine or rugged like other men but had a feminine touch to him that made him look charming.
Therefore, the dimples didnât look strange on him, rather complemented his handsome face.
âWell, people havenât praised me before because I hate people telling me how beautiful I am.â Nathan laughed. Although it was a mere joke, there was something in his tone that sent a chill down Gabrielleâs spine. âWell, letâs go inside.â Melissa held Gabrielleâs hand and walked into the hotel.
