Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 2 Do You Want Me To Change It For You

Gabrielle was stunned to see how exquisite the clothes were! She soon realized they were prepared for Westley’s fiancee, Nellie Collins. Gabrielle was only a substitute.

“Listen! I am giving you five minutes. If you don’t dress quickly, I will come and dress you myself!”

Westley’s displeased voice hit her ears, shocking her.

Gabrielle was trying to put up a strong front but in truth, she was scared out of her wits. She did not know to what extents this man could go. She quickly caught a light pink dress, and put it on thoughtlessly. When she caught herself in the mirror, she couldn’t believe her own appearance.

The off-shoulder top revealed her collar bones and shoulders teasingly. The knee-length, pleated hem granted her a dignified and elegant look. Surely, the dress was designed by some elite brand.

Exactly five minutes later, Westley slid the door of the wardrobe open, rudely barging in without a warning. He saw that Gabrielle was standing in front of mirror, looking at him with wide eyes.

The dress fitted her perfectly. It outlined the shape of her breasts and waist elegantly. Her exposed shoulders and slender legs caught his eye. He felt he was enticed by her, but he tried to suppress the feeling. He could not be attracted to Gabrielle.

“You didn’t have to come in here. I’m ready,” Gabrielle said in a small voice, looking at him reluctantly. She didn’t realize she was folding her hands across her chest as if she was naked.

“Didn’t I say I would only give you five minutes? Well, time’s up!”

Westley said cockily.

Gabrielle opened her mouth to say something but suddenly saw what Westley was holding in his hands. He had brought her a necklace and a pair of silver stilettos.

“Westley, I can’t wear this necklace.” The necklace was studded with diamonds. By merely looking at it, she could tell it was extremely expensive. After all, she had graduated majoring in jewelry design. She could tell the authenticity of a piece just by sight.

“I am lending it to you. Keep it safe. If you lose it, you will have to compensate for it. It costs more than a million dollars,”

Westley said matter-of-factly.
