Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 314 She Thought He Wanted To Flirt With

Jason finally understood that when he spoke to a woman who was so simple, direct and lovely, he could not beat around the bush.

He would have to be straightforward. Otherwise, Lolita might misunderstand him. He was aware of it.

“Lolita, you’re correct. I’m Gabrielle’s mentor, and you are her good friend. You can call me Jason like she does in private from now on, Jason said, clearing up the matter.

Lolita still gave him an awkward look. He was her boss. It was not appropriate to address him directly by his name.

“Mr. Foster…” she tried.

“Jason!” he insisted.

Lolita hesitated for a few moments and finally opened her mouth. “Mr…”

“Just Jason!” Jason encouraged her.

Lolita believed that it would be disrespectful towards Jason to call him by his name. After all, he was her boss. It was improper to call him that,

“Lolita, I’m your boss. This is my request as your boss. Can you agree to it?” Jason used his position as her boss to coerce her.

Lolita had no choice but to relent and nod her assent.

“I’ll call you Jason. But you can’t let anyone else know,” she finally agreed.

Jason’s lips curled up in a small smile. Although it was barely noticeable, it was enough to let his happiness shine through. N “Well, in private, I’ll allow you to call me that.” Jason respected Lolita’s thoughts.

“Okay, Jason.” Lolita had never been a shy woman. She had spent five or six years abroad, so her thinking was

progressive

“My boss just asked me to call him by his name, not sweetheart or something like that. There’s no need to feel embarrassed,

she reassured herself.

Although she had female colleagues who would happily call him sweetheart in private, Lolita wanted to steer clear of such idiotic behavior.

“It’s nice to hear you call me Jason. From now on, you can address me the same way Gabrielle does.” Jason was very pleased with the way she said his name. Her voice was as soft as her features. It was warm and mild, and pleasant to the ears.

“Jason, should we discuss the materials now, or can we go and eat first?” Lolita’s cheeks warmed with embarrassment as she looked at him

Jason was a little startled when he heard her question. Then a smile spread on his lips and he looked back at her. “Are you hungry? Didn’t you eat lunch properly?”

Lolita was mortified. She was too excited to eat when she heard that Michelle was here at noon. She had happily rushed back with Gabrielle and hadn’t been in the mood to think about what to eat. All she could think about was Michelle.
