Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 306

It had been two days since Michelle said she would come to Gabrielle's studio and meet with Jason to have some pieces of jewelry made.

Michelle called Gabrielle when she arrived at the studio. It was noon, and Gabrielle and Lolita were out for lunch.

Gabrielle was going to attend the seminar and wanted to celebrate with her closest office friend. At first, Lolita insisted on taking the check, but Gabrielle refused. She wanted to treat Lolita for being so supportive about her going to the seminar.

"Hey, Michelle. What's up?" Gabrielle stepped outside to take Michelle's phone call.

"Gabrielle, I'm here at the studio. Where are you?" Michelle asked directly. She had been walking around the studio looking for Gabrielle, but she could not find her. Ever since she came in, the entire office had been buzzing with excitement.

It was to be expected. After all, Michelle was one of the most famous personalities not only in the country but in the whole world. Recently, it was revealed that one of her sponsors was Westley, Morris Group's young CEO.

That was only one of the reasons why heads turned when she walked in.

Michelle wanted to say hi and chat some fans up, but she had to find the people she came for first.

Aside from Gabrielle, Michelle also came for Jason. Not many people knew this, but the Morris family and the Foster family were relatives by marriage. Michelle and Jason were technically family, and it was not weird for her to show up suddenly in his studio.

"Oh, I'm having lunch with my friend. Are you really at the studio?" Gabrielle asked curiously. She did not expect that Michelle would come visit her so soon.

"Yes, I'm here. I'm sorry I didn't call ahead. My schedule opened up a tiny bit, and I just jumped on the free time. I planned to treat you to lunch. Maybe next time. Are you on your way back? I'll just wait for you in Jason's office or something," Michelle explained, constantly looking around for any sign of Jason.

"Yes, yes, we're almost done with lunch. I have a favor to ask of you, Michelle. Nobody in the office knows about my relationship with Westley, and I think it's not yet the right time for me to tell them. When we see each other, can you pretend that we don't know each other? I just think it'll make things easier. I'll treat you to dinner tonight to say thank you," Gabrielle asked, hoping that Michelle would just agree without any further questions.

After all, her relationship with Westley had not been made public. If her colleagues found out that she knew Michelle through Westley, it would definitely start one hell of a rumor mill.

And that was the last thing she needed right now.

"What on earth is Westley doing? I can't believe he hasn't introduced you yet to the public as his wife. Well, I suppose I totally get it. If I had an awesome spouse, I'd keep him to myself for as long as I could, too. And we both know my block of ice of a cousin. He doesn't like sharing what's his." Michelle snickered, making Gabrielle break into a smile.

Michelle had this unique way of making fun of Westley that always hit the mark for Gabrielle. For Gabrielle, it was one of Michelle's endearing qualities. "I don't think that's what Westley is doing, though."

"In any case, my lips are sealed, Gabrielle. If you don't want me to say anything, I won't. I'll wait for you here. Hurry back, please. And dinner is on me tonight. You got it last time." Michelle did not say anything more after that.

She might be a little pushy sometimes when it came to Westley and Gabrielle, but she knew where her limits lay. Westley and Gabrielle's privacy was their business.

"Okay. I'll be back soon," Gabrielle replied, smiling.

When Gabrielle returned to their table, Lolita was going crazy.

"Oh, my God, Gabrielle! We shouldn't have gone out for lunch today! You'll never guess who just showed up at the studio!" Lolita was so excited that she started hyperventilating.

Gabrielle immediately understood what she was talking about.

It was definitely Michelle to whom she had just spoken on the phone.

Michelle's popularity had been off the charts lately, and she had been closing endorsement deals back to back. Her unbelievably beautiful face and

gorgeous body were everywhere from billboards to TV and print ads. It was impossible not to know about her.

"Really? Who?" Gabrielle sat down and looked at Lolita. She put on her best facial expression of complete ignorance.

"Michelle! Michelle is at the studio right now! Have you heard of her?" Lolita exclaimed.

Gabrielle kept her face neutral.

She could not let Lolita know that she had more than heard of Michelle.

Lolita was already going insane hearing about Michelle's presence at the studio. If she found out that her office best friend was Michelle's cousin-in-law, she would most definitely lose her mind.

"Yes, of course. The city is practically covered with her ads. She's ridiculously famous," Gabrielle said calmly.

"You probably don't know that she has another identity." Lolita flashed Gabrielle a knowing stare.

'Another identity?

Is she talking about Michelle's connection to Westley?'

"Oh, my God, that woman is amazing. Everything she touches turns to gold. Whatever she endorses sells wildly, and that's why brands from different industries are falling all over themselves trying to get her to endorse their products. Do you think she came to the studio to collaborate with Jason? If that's true, do you realize what that means? Our studio is going to be even more famous! It's going to be awesome!" Lolita rambled on.

"Well, that sure sounds great," Gabrielle agreed. Jason's creations would blow up even more with Michelle's face behind them.

There was no doubt about it.

"If we head back now, maybe we'll get to meet Michelle. If I meet her today, I will be too excited to sleep for the next few days. But it'll be worth it. Are you done eating, Gabrielle? Can we go back to the studio now?" Lolita was really amped up.

"Well, I'm not done, and you're not either. Let's finish our lunch first. Michelle will be there when we get back." Seeing the impatient look on Lolita's face, Gabrielle could not help chuckling.

Michelle was clearly popular not only among men but also among women.

"Really? How do you know?" Lolita asked, cocking her head to the side.

"I just know, okay? Just eat, Lolita, and please don't choke on your food." Gabrielle smiled.

"But how can you be so sure that we'll make it back in time to see her?" Lolita prodded, starting to get suspicious that maybe Gabrielle knew more than she was letting on.

Michelle was so incredibly famous that she probably had the kind of schedule where she had to fast-track everything. How could Gabrielle know for sure that she would not be gone when they got back from lunch?

"Michelle most likely came to the studio today to see Jason, and Jason won't be back there until after lunch," Gabrielle answered, making up the perfect excuse.

Thankfully, at the mention of Jason's name, Lolita dropped the subject and finished her lunch in a hurry. Before long, she and Gabrielle were on their way back to the studio.

The whole studio was as lively as Christmas. Everyone was animatedly talking about Michelle.

When she walked in, Gabrielle could not believe the atmosphere. The studio had never been this electric and energetic before.

Michelle truly was an undisputed goddess of the world.

"Oh, my God, Gabrielle! Michelle is really here! She's still here! She's in Jason's office!" The moment she set foot back in the studio, Lolita asked around about the unexpected celebrity visitor.

She was massively relieved to find out that Michelle was still in the building and that she was in Jason's office.

"Can you go in there, Gabrielle? Can you get me an autograph?" Out of nowhere, Lolita pulled up a poster of Michelle and showed it to Gabrielle. She was all jumpy and twitchy with excitement, which, honestly, was starting to scare Gabrielle.

"Well, don't get your hopes up, Lolita," Gabrielle said, trying to lower her friend's expectations.

"I just love Michelle so much. She's pretty and glamorous and has the best taste in everything. Her autograph would mean so much to me," Lolita gushed, nudging Gabrielle.

"All right, I'll try. But if Jason doesn't let me in, then I can't ask Michelle for an autograph." Gabrielle took the poster from Lolita and walked over to Jason's office.
