Lock You In My Heart

Gabrielle went straight to the opened room and found that Jackson was already there, casting her an indifferent glance.

“You arrived just on time,” Jackson remarked with a voice laden with sarcasm.

Naturally, Gabrielle figured what he was implying. It was probably about the last time she was almost late to pick Melissa up.

She was well aware of his personality. Jackson was indifferent, stingy, and he was prone to mock people about their mistakes over and over.

So, Gabrielle could only blame herself for her bad luck. She felt bad that everything she did was unsatisfactory for Jackson.

This man was not only unfriendly to her, he was this way to everyone else as well.

“Good morning, Jackson.” Gabrielle tried her best to stifle her dissatisfaction deep down, showing a well-behaved attitude towards Jackson.

His anger disappeared within the blink of an eye. He just couldn’t bring himself to explode in front of someone like her.

After all, there was a saying that you shouldn’t hit smiling people.

“Come in.” Having said that, Jackson turned around and walked in.

Gabrielle breathed a sigh of relief before entering the room and closing the door behind her.

The moment she stepped foot inside, she noticed that aside from Melissa and Jackson, there were five other people of different ages sitting in the living room. All of them were well-dressed and had an air of nobility. It was obvious that they weren’t ordinary people.

Gabrielle sensed a strange familiarity from these people. She guessed that they might be friends of Melissa.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be invited into Melissa’s room.

Upon seeing how formally dressed everyone was, Gabrielle now realized that her clothing weren’t up to par with theirs. Subconsciously, she looked down at her casual clothing, which were comfortable for a walk outside. She wore them for the sake of convenience when she was heading to the cemetery earlier. But she never anticipated that Melissa would invite her over, nor did she expect that Melissa had friends over. They were all dressed in fancy clothing, and some of them even had evening gowns and wore light makeup.
