Lock You In My Heart

After taking the documents, Gabrielle went back to the studio directly. Unexpectedly, she met Jackson there. He was rarely there at that time.

She was surprised at the manner in which he looked at her. He seemed quite unfriendly. Rather, he looked as if he was disgusted to see her.

Gabrielle was taken aback because she had no idea how she had offended the man. She thought for a while and concluded that perhaps she had made him unhappy yesterday, when they were together with Melissa.

She hadn’t expected that he was someone who carried anger and revenge for so long. But she’d had enough of it.

“Jackson, good to see that you’ve come to the company. I bought two cups of milk tea, and they are still hot. Would you like to have a cup? I just bought it and haven’t opened it yet.” Gabrielle was holding two cups of milk tea in her hands. Though one was for herself and the other one was for Lolita. But now that she met Jackson, as a junior, she was obliged to give her own cup of milk tea to him. Maybe it could be a compensation for what happened yesterday.

“Gabrielle, I don’t need it! And you don’t have to make efforts to please me. However hard you try to please me, you won’t get any mercy from me.” His tone was as cold as the words he spoke.

Gabrielle was distraught.

She got a feeling that things between her and Jackson had gone worse. And she knew that whenever they saw each other, she would definitely be rebuked by him. And being a junior, she could not refute him.

Gabrielle was already disturbed and now this. It just worsened her mood. She walked back to her workroom with the cups of milk tea.

“Here Lolita, I brought you milk tea.” She handed a cup to Lolita and began to drink her own tea.

The milk tea, which always tasted delicious, now seemed to be bland and tasteless. Meeting Jackson at the door had been depressing and already had affected her.

Gabrielle was in an awful mood now. So, it did not matter how sweet the milk tea was. She just didn’t know how it tasted as her mind and heart were disturbed.

“Gabrielle, thank you for the milk tea. But…. What’s wrong with you?” Lolita was sipping the tea happily. But when she saw the angry look on Gabrielle’s face, she became worried.

“Nothing! How do you like the milk tea?” Gabrielle asked curiously.

She was actually trying to make sure if something was wrong with the milk tea or her sense of taste.
