Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 120 Lawrence Hughes

It was a sunny afternoon. Gabrielle was on her way to see Macy at Fragrance Restaurant for lunch. On her way, a man kept trailing her. She felt embarrassed by the way he was chasing after her on a very popular street. For this reason, she decided to walk faster. Once Lawrence saw how fast she walked, he followed suit.

“If you think that you’re going to Inake me angry with the way you’re behaving, Gabby, you’re wrong. You’re underestimating me. I must invite you to have lunch with me today. You can’t escape me this time around. Besides, I’ve been on the lookout for you for over a month before I met you here today. It just shows that we were destined to meet!” he said still alking after her. This man was just being outrageous. A man like him was like a plaster which was hard to be dealt with.

“Lawrence, I have something else to do and because of this, I don’t have the luxury of time to argue here with you. Don’t delay me, please;” Gabrielle said to him as she thought of a way to get rid of him but couldn’t think of any.

His kind of person was difficult to deal with. No matter how you talked to him, either in a threatening or cruel tone, he was immune to all. He was just after achieving his goal.

“You must have lunch with me even if you still have something to do. As far as you have lunch with me, I won’t disturb you again, okay?” he said as he smiled at her. There was no sign on his face to show that he was angry with the way that she

was trying to avoid him.

Lawrence was a ladies’ man. He had a very captivating smile that could enchant lots of people. Regrettably, she didn’t fancy men like him and because of this, she was not willing to accept his smile no matter how captivating it was. It didn’t have any effect on her.

Be that as it might, hearing that he would stop disturbing her if she accepted to have lunch with him, she became hesitant.

“Lawrence, are you going to keep to your words?” she asked as she peered at him closely.

He looked at her and smiled like an old cunning fox. He reassured her, “Of course, Gabby. I’m a man of my word. I say what I mean and I mean what I say.”

She wanted to say something harsh to him! She was just sick of him pestering her this way.

Everyone in Antawood knew Lawrence to be a womanizer. He changed women easily like he was changing his clothes. Rumor also had it that he was very generous when he was with a woman. As long as the woman wanted anything, he bought it for her. Even when they broke up, he was still generous to the extent that he would give them a house and a check and after that, they would lose contact.
