Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 336

For the first time in her life, Gabrielle felt like she was just a huge burden on others. Everyone who worked with her disliked her.

In the beginning, Jason had requested Jackson to train her, but Jackson had flatly refused. He never taught anyone, let alone a newcomer like Gabrielle.

Therefore, Jason had to train Gabrielle himself. And now, he had asked Gabrielle to become Jackson's assistant. Of course, Jackson was unwilling to accept this.

"What are you talking about? Gabrielle is my student. Don't be so rude. She is standing right here." Jason shot Jackson an unhappy glance. Jackson had never said anything good about anyone.

"I don't care how good your student is. I am clearly telling you that I won't comply with Michelle's order. You can deal with it by yourself. And I won't let Gabrielle be my assistant. If you want her to be an assistant, and handle Michelle's order yourself, I'm fine with it. I'm showing her enough kindness by agreeing to take her along to pick up Melissa." Jackson had always been a blunt and decisive man.

Anyway, he would never bother about other people's feelings. He spoke rudely even while speaking to Jason.

"If you really don't want to accept Michelle's order, you can make an appointment and discuss it with her. If you still decide to refuse after that, I won't force you. I'll handle everything myself with Gabrielle's assistance." Jason still hoped that Jackson would reconsider. After all, it was an excellent opportunity to design jewelry for Michelle.

"Then make an appointment. I will tell her no in person," Jackson said icily.

Jason smiled humorlessly. Gabrielle was not surprised by Jackson's words. She was contemplating if she should inform Michelle about this. Michelle, who had always been regarded as the apple of everyone's eyes, would be heartbroken when she heard she was disliked by Jackson.

It would be better to keep quiet about it for the present.

"Gabrielle, have you arranged your dress for when you pick up Melissa?" Jackson asked, turning his attention back to Gabrielle.

"Dress?" Gabrielle thought she was only here as an onlooker. She just wanted to see these two high-profile men facing each other off. When she was addressed directly, she was nonplussed.

"Gabrielle, it's a huge honor to be able to pick Melissa up. Aren't you serious about it? Are you going to wear such casual clothes when you greet her? It's a sign of disrespect to the teacher. If you are not interested in going, just tell me beforehand." Jackson's face contorted with disgust as his eyes swept over her.

Gabrielle felt a wave of unease wash over her at his comments over her dressing. She instinctively looked down at her clothes.

She had worn a white bubble sleeve shirt and a dark blue skirt. It was simple attire. 'Doesn't it look professional enough?' she wondered doubtfully.

Besides, she didn't intend to pick Melissa up dressed like this. After all, Melissa was like a goddess in her heart.

Obviously, she too wanted to dress up specially and look competent when she met her. It was very important for her to leave a good impression on the teacher she admired so much.

"I will prepare well." Gabrielle looked at him with a guilty conscience.

Jackson's sharp eyes made her feel a rush of guilt.

"So have you made the preparations properly?" Jackson looked at her indifferently and didn't believe her at all.

"Not yet..."

"I've told you this before Gabrielle. You don't take your work seriously at all. The teacher will be here in two days. You haven't got your clothes ready yet. You have even mentioned that she is your idol. Was that a joke?" Jackson said condescendingly.

Gabrielle was very upset when she heard this. 'He s

aid I don't respect Melissa, who is my idol. How can I not take this opportunity seriously?'

"She will be here in two days." Jackson looked at her stonily, making her stomach churn with nervousness.

"I know. Jason has sent me the flight information. I promise we won't be late," Gabrielle assured him seriously.

"Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?" Jackson looked at her and asked.

Gabrielle's eyes turned in Jason's direction subconsciously. After all, she had only come to the studio this afternoon on his instructions.

"Gabrielle has no important work to do this afternoon. Why do you ask, Jackson?" Jason knew him well. He understood that if he had asked this question, there was something he wanted.

"If you have nothing else to do, come with me this afternoon. I'll take you to buy some clothes. I'm worried that the outfit you pick will not be to Melissa's taste," Jackson said as he looked at Gabrielle.

Gabrielle had never imagined that Jackson would offer to go with her in person to help her select some clothes. She felt flattered and couldn't believe her good fortune.

Even Jason, who had been friends with Jackson for years, couldn't believe his ears.

Jackson had never suggested taking a woman shopping before this. If Jason hadn't known how much Jackson cared about and respected Melissa, he would have thought that he had suddenly developed a crush on Gabrielle.

"Jackson, you don't have to take me to pick up clothes. I can do that myself," Gabrielle politely refused Jackson's kindness.

After all, it would be awkward for a man like him to take her shopping for clothes.

"Gabrielle, with your taste in fashion, I really can't imagine what you will wear when you pick Melissa up. Now that you have no other work scheduled, come with me." This was Jackson. He would always stay firm on his word.

No one could refuse or doubt his decision.

"Gabrielle, just go with Jackson. Maybe you will get inspired while shopping," Jason said gently as he agreed with Jackson.

If Gabrielle's first impression was good, Melissa would look forward to working with her. So he naturally agreed.

More importantly, it was rare for Jackson to take the initiative to offer help.

"You're right. I will go out with Jackson," Gabrielle said as she agreed with Jackson as well.

Since he was Melissa's student, he obviously knew her preferences best. If he took her to choose clothes, he would definitely be able to pick outfits that were to Melissa's taste. It would vastly improve her chances of giving a favorable first impression then.

"Go ahead. Pick something good. Jackson, I'll leave Gabrielle to you," Jason said as he addressed Jackson again.

Thanks to his arrogant temper, no one could predict how he would treat Gabrielle.

"Don't worry. I won't sell Gabrielle off, okay?" Then he whirled around and left, his body language frigid.

"Jason, I'm leaving now. I can't keep Jackson waiting," Gabrielle said hurriedly in farewell.

"Gabrielle, listen to Jackson's opinions. Even though he is not easy to get along with, his taste is always impeccable. He rarely takes the initiative to choose clothes for someone. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Jason said in an encouraging tone.

"I see. I should go now." Gabrielle waved goodbye.

"Wait!" Jason stopped her.

"Is there anything else?" Gabrielle stared at him in confusion.

Jason cleared his throat and pretended to casually ask, "How is Lolita?"

It only struck her then that he was concerned about Lolita.

"Lolita is fine. She went home to rest this afternoon," she replied and continued staring at him.

"That's good. Now go and find Jackson," Jason said, relief lacing his voice.
