Lock You In My Heart

“I trust you.”

Those were hammer pounding into Lolita’s heart.

It was a great thing to be trusted.

Coming from his boss, she felt proud.

“I’m delighted, Mr. Foster. The seafood porridge is to die for, I swear. I haven’t been in Antawood for a long time, but their menu is super delicious. My friend Gabrielle couldn’t share it with me since she’s allergic to seafood. It’s such a shame because she’s the only friend I made in here.” Lolita sounded a little disappointed.

Even though it was Gabrielle who brought her here the first time, she only had barbecue and beer. The two of them were like worlds apart.

“I’m really happy that we can eat together, Mr. Foster.” Lolita smiled.

“It’s my pleasure. And if you could call me by my name, I’d be very happy.” His boss had told her many times.

“Jason?” Lolita shyly called.

“That’s right. Just hearing you say my name lifts my spirits. You want me to be happy, right?” Jason teased.

Lolita nodded almost immediately. “Okay. I’ll call you Jason when it’s just us. But on other occasions, I better call you Mr. Foster, okay?”

“Deal.”

Jason smiled.

“So, Jason, is there anything else you want to eat?” Lolita had always been bold. She didn’t find it hard to start calling him intimately.
