Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271 I‘m Really Not Important To Him

Gabrielle was recommended and specially invited to participate in the jewelry desigri seminar. This really excited her, and she couldn’t wait to tell Westley all about it when he got home.

However, when she got home at Hali Moon Bay that night, he wasn’t around

Gabrielle felt slightly disappointed. She Went back to her room to sho’rer and change her clothes, before going downstairs for dinner.

“Miss Jones, dinner is ready.”

Sophie served the dinner to her.

Gabrielle took a look at the tableware “Sophie, Will Westley come back for dinner tonight?”

“Mr. Morris went on a business trip this afterndan. Didn’t he tell you?” Sophie looked at Gabrielle in surprise 1

Westley had come back home in the

afternoon in a hurry, packed his b and left. He said that he was on a business trip. but he didn’t say where he was going or how long for. Sophie didn’t question him too much because she thought Gabrielle would know about it – she was his wife, after all.

However, it seemed Gabrielle had no idea at all.

“No, he didn’t. I was working in the Studio this afternoon. Maybe he didn’t want to disturb me,” Gabrielle said, mostly trying to comfort herself.

In Westley’s mind, Gabrielle wasn’t his real wife; she was just an outsider. Why did he need to report his whereabouts to her?

She was giving it too much thought.

Nevertheless, Gabrielle couldn’t help feeling disappointed and low when she thought about it all.

“Well, don’t worry about it. I’m sure Mr. Morris will definitely give you a call when he is free later. In the past, he was used to just leaving home and running away on business trips without telling anyone because he was not married. But

now it‘s different because he has a wile. He will definitely keep you updated on his travel movements.” Sophie attempted to comlott Gabrielle, noticing the disappointment on her face.

“I know. Sophie. I will wait for his call, But even if he is too busy to call me, 1 can understand that, Gabrielle said Virtuously, noting her submissive duties

I’ve always said that you are such a considerate Woman – we all like and admire you over here. Why don’t you have dinner for now and let me know if you need anything?” With that, Sophie left the dining room.

Gabrielle had a good appetite and wanted to share today’s good news with Westley, but when he had just left for a business trip without informing her, she felt inevitably down.

She was not at all in a mood to eat now, She quickly finished eating her rice and picked on some of the other dishes.

“Thank you for the meal, Sophie, I’m done. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to go upstairs and draw a little bit. Please don’t disturb me if you can help it.”

Gabrielle headed upstairs.

Sophie humed out of the kitchen ta clean up. Sure enough, she saw that Gabrielle’s bowl was empty. but the dishes were barely touched.

“How could she be full? Maybe she was upset because Mr. Moms didn’t tell her about his business trip.. she guessed.

However, even if Sophie had an idea, it was inappropriate for her to voice her conjectures. She cleaned the table und put the food away.

Gabrielle returned to her room and sat in front of the dressing table, with a pencil ini one hand and a design book in the other – but she couldn’t actually focus on her tasks for a long time. She looked into her reflection in the mirror, and saw that her face was full of disappointment and discomfort. She didn’t realize how affected she was by Westley’s actions until that momerit.

Gabrielle, Westley doesn’t care about you at all. Why are you still bothered about him?

He can go for any amounts of business trips, whenever and wherever he chooses

ED, IT IS TOE my concem. His business in clearly not mine — he didn’l ever bther telling me about it. Why am I feelingud about this?

Now that she had the chance to be recomanended for the seminar, she would try her best to design a few drafts. Maybe she could even receive some help from the teachers in the seminar. This was a very rare opportunity, and it might be the only chance for her to meet these esteemed intemational jewelry designers

Gabrielle forced herself to draw some rough designs, but she was not satisfied with it. She tore one paper and then another one, and finally lost her motivation altogether. She put down the pen, took her phone and looked at the time. It was half past ten.

She hadn’t received any phone calls on messages from Westley – it seemed that he didn’t forget and that he had no plans of calling her and letting her know at all.

And Gabrielle didn’t want to be upfront and ask him either, so she just switched her phone off and went to bed.

Gabrielle thought he was probably

abroad. He had taken a long flight and he was most likely jet laged, so it would take a while for him to contact her. He would probably contact her on the second day there.

But what happened on the second day?

It was out of her expectations, againn.

She didn t hear from him even on the second day, nor the third. There was no news from his end at all, the entire week, not even the weekend when she went to Macy’s shop to learn how to bake a cake.

It seemed that she really meant nothing to Westley. Even if she was just a Matrate to him, it was common courtesy to let her know he was on a business trip. But he treated her just like a total stranger.

So why did she still have such high expectations from Westley? Her mood had been ruined for several days now she didn’t even feel like learning the art of baking

“Gabrielle, you’re here – I didn’t expect you to be here so soon.” When Macy saw Gabrielle, she immediately exited the cake shop to greet her properly.

They had Ananged to meet at ten that Honing. but Gabrielle had seved

Mary was very happy to see her. She would come to her mother’s calor shop as an assistant every weekend on whenever she had time. She had inved at seven that morning and now was wearing the apron representing the cake shop

“Well, I don’t have much to do on the weekends, so I came earlier. I like your uniformi, you look very professional.” Gabrielle smiled but her smile looked pained and forced..

“Yes, I like it, too. I’ve been coming to the shop to help my mother since I was a child. This was back when we had only one shop but I always came just to eat the cakes.” Macy looked down at her waitress’s uniform and smiled shyly.

“That’s sweet.” Gabrielle forced another Srnile.

“Gabrielle. you look unwell. Are you tired? Did you get a lot of work? You’ve had lectures and interning work all day. haven’t you? Are you alright?” Macy

asked her straightforwardly when she

w the tired and displeased look on Gabrielle’s face

Macy was usually a blunt and direct sort of person who would voice out her opinions of concerns if she had any.

“Well, I guess so. I haven’t been this busy for a long time and haven’t got enough TEST, Overall, I think I will be fine in a few days.” Gabrielle gave Macy a reassuring

“Don’t Worry. You will learn how tu make cakes in our bakery within two days. Why don’t you try some cakes? Desserts will make you feel better – trust mne.” Macy pulled her inside.

Macy was so enthusiastic and active, and this made Gabrielle ease up, too. Macy first showed her around the shop, which had two floors. The first floor was a display area, full of beautiful cakes. The second place was for seating the guests and also housed a studio.

At this time, there were not many guests, so Macy could accompany her the whole time

“Gabrielle, what do you want to eat? You

can choose anything, or I can tell you what s good. And it’s my real – YOU ATE my mother’s student, after all,” Macy Said warmly

No. Ho l‘in not hungry now I ate breakfast before I came.” Gabrielle politely turned down Macy’s oller.

“It doesn‘t matter. You can try and test it out for us. My mother will be very happy if you can make a suczestion.” Macy began to offer the cakes to her.

“All these cakes are made by our staff. if you want to make the same cake or have any other ideas, you can talk to my mother. She will help and guide you. I’ll take you upstairs now” Macy led her upstairs.
