Lock You In My Heart

Lolita had always been smart enough to tell what Vivian’s purpose was. Obviously, the woman wanted to create a rift between Lolita and Gabrielle.

‘I’m not stupid enough to believe something as dumb as that!’ she thought to herself.

Lolita tilted her head to one side while glancing at Gabrielle. “What’s new, Gabrielle? Did Vivian tell you something interesting?”

“It’s not a big deal, actually. It’s not even worth mentioning it.” Gabrielle refused to answer it, and she’d rather not listen to anything that came out of Vivian’s mouth, either. Nothing good would come out of it. Even if she didn’t go, Lolita would probably have to. ‘Who knows what Vivian is up to?’ she thought to herself.

‘Whatever. She’s probably up to no good.’

“All I’m saying, Gabrielle, is that it’s a hundred percent great suggestion. Are you sure you don’t want to share it with Lolita?” Vivian raised her eyebrows and smirked, like a bonafide villainess.

Gabrielle had found out about her news, so she brought it up. “Lolita, Vivian is offering us a chance to learn from our seniors. Would you like to come?”

Her words stunned Lolita for a moment, causing her to blink repeatedly. “A chance to learn from our seniors, huh? Gabrielle, how about you? Would you like to go?”

Lolita was well aware of Gabrielle’s personality. The latter obviously didn’t want to go there. For all they knew, Vivian just might be planning to play them for a fool.

Thus, Lolita decided not to agree.

“Thanks, but I think we’re fine as it is. Besides, it’s getting late, and we’re planning to get dinner somewhere,” she said with a smile.

“Is that so? You know, this might be the only chance someone like you could have. You’d best think it through. Or perhaps you just don’t have the nerve to come with me?” It seemed that Vivian figured out that gently convincing them wouldn’t work, so she changed her strategy by prodding them with such provocative words.

“Why wouldn’t we have the nerve? We simply don’t feel like going. That’s all.” Gabrielle wasn’t that easy to provoke. And she wasn’t going to let Vivian look down upon her.

“Really? Do you really not want to or are you just scared?” Vivian walked towards Gabrielle and leaned closer to the latter’s ear. “I know about you and Mr. Morris. You don’t want your good friend to find out about that, do you?”
