Lock You In My Heart

Lolita never shielded away from a fight. Ever since she was little, she had been kind of a troublemaker. Although her brothers had always dealt with the mess and the aftermath, Lolita usually got into a fight all by herself against girls.

How crazy would an all-girl fight be like?

Well, Lolita couldn’t have known it better. They were about to find out.

However, before the woman could pounce on her, a cold, booming voice sliced through the madness and stunned everyone into silence.

“Let me see who had the audacity to hurt my people now!”

Everyone snapped their heads towards the entrance. A tall and imposing figure was headed to the center of the room; his strides long and purposeful. The man’s face had an unreadable expression, but his dark eyes bore into Lolita.

“Mr. Foster! Boss!” Lolita cried at Jason excitedly. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him, but then, it was quickly extinguished as she noticed the empty glass in her hand. Lolita backed down and clamped her mouth shut, suddenly feeling scared.

She worked for Jason and, today of all days, she lost her temper at an important event. Lolita splashed a glass of wine on one of the seniors, and some of it even spilled on Vivian’s dress. Lolita swallowed hard. She knew her actions would embarrass Jason. Now that she was caught red-handed, he was most likely going to sack her the first chance he got.

Considering the relationship between Vivian and Jason, he would choose to protect Vivian.

Lolita had been trying so hard to be a good jewelry designer—someone accepted and respected by the other people in the company. She wanted them to see her as someone reliable, someone they could give difficult tasks to. She planned to restart her career by showing off her skills to her workmates, but all that just went down the drain because of a glass of wine.

‘Oh Lolita. Anger and haste hinder good counsel. How could you not know that? Look at what you’ve done!’

Lolita almost slapped her forehead in frustration. If only she held herself back much longer, her boss wouldn’t have caught her doing something atrocious. She was so afraid that he would fire her and kick her to the curb.
