Lock You In My Heart

Lance had been helping Gabrielle with matters regarding Bryce, but she hadn’t paid him much attention. She had gotten her hands tied up with her own issues, so she didn’t have time to think about anything else.

That was why she had no idea how to answer Cherie.

“I’m sorry, Cherie. I haven’t seen Lance recently. We’re not as close as you think, so I have no idea what he’s up to,” Gabrielle answered truthfully.

There was no point in lying.

Cherie thought she was being honest. Lance seemed out of Gabrielle’s radar these days.

Maybe she was overthinking it. Like what she heard, maybe Gabrielle and Lance weren’t really close.

“I see.” Although Cherie felt disappointed, there was nothing she could do.

She had been mean to Gabrielle before. Forcing her would only make Cherie look bad.

“Cherie, if you like Lance, just go for it. Maybe one day, he’ll notice you, but nothing will happen if you just keep admiring him secretly,” Gabrielle said, taking her gift bag.

Cherie watched Gabrielle leave until she disappeared through the exit. She was gone, but her words lingered in Cherie’s mind.

If she wouldn’t confess, then she would never have the chance of being Mrs. Carter.

Surprisingly, Gabrielle was more level-headed. The next step was now clear to her.
