Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 332

As soon as Vivian left, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.

"Damn! Waking up and seeing them scared the hell out of me. I feel like I just survived a heart attack." Lolita collapsed on the chair and stayed still. She was so terrified that she could hear her heartbeat in her ears. Her breath was coming in short, rapid bursts like she was suffocating.

"Oh, come on. It's not that scary." Gabrielle patted her head.

"It is! My first thought when I saw them was that demons from hell had come to get me. Oh, God, my heart is still racing." Lolita truly thought that she had just cheated death by the skin of her teeth.

"Get ready. Let's go." Gabrielle stuffed the documents into her backpack and prepared to leave.

"Where are we going?" Lolita asked in confusion.

"Lolita, I promised Jason that I will take you to the hospital. Let's go. Now," Gabrielle replied seriously.

Lolita looked at her with wide eyes. "Are you serious? I thought you just said that to Jason so that he would go away. I'm really fine. I don't need to go to the hospital."

"All right, but let's still go. If you don't want to go to the hospital, then let's go someplace else, somewhere we can get some fresh air," Gabrielle urged.

"Very well. Anyway, Mr. Foster has approved the leave. Let's go out for a walk. I could use a break from Vivian. She almost killed me with those cold eyes of hers just now. I don't want to see her for a while." Lolita hurried and packed up, and soon, she and Gabrielle left the studio. They took a taxi, and on their way, they decided where they wanted to go.

"Since we're not going to the hospital, how about we go shopping? What do you think?" Lolita chirped, and Gabrielle beamed.

"That sounds great. Or we could go to University Town. Didn't you say that you wanted to go to where I went for college? We can go visit right now. I'll give you a tour and then take you for lunch at the canteen, which is famous for its delicious food. So, how about it?" Gabrielle suggested.

"Wow, that sounds like an even better idea. Okay, okay. Let's go to University Town. You know, if I hadn't gone abroad for college, I would've been your senior at Alorith University, and we would've studied the same major." Of course, Lolita agreed happily.

If she had not gotten into that university she went to in Paris, she would have applied to Alorith University's College of Design and been schoolmates with Gabrielle.

"Then it's settled. We're going to visit Alorith University." Gabrielle was so glad that Lolita agreed to go to University Town.

"By the way, since I would've been your senior, will you call me Miss Lolita once we get to University Town?" Lolita teased.

"Oh, please. We're the same age, Lolita," Gabrielle backfired and giggled.

"Well, technically, I'm a few months older than you. Besides, I skipped a grade, so I'm two academic years ahead of you," Lolita declared and raised her chin.

"You are so awesome." Gabrielle playfully punched her in the arm and gave her a thumbs up.

Before long, they were entering the gates of Alorith University, and Gabrielle gave Lolita the tour right away. She knew the campus by heart, and Lolita admired her for it.

Lolita looked around excitedly and drank up the scenery like a little girl in a land made of candy. She hopped around after Gabrielle like she was on a free field trip.

She had paid University Town a visit a few years ago, but back then, she really did not take the time to check out everything properly.

This time, she had all the time in the world, and she was thrilled to have the best tour guide she could have, her dear friend.

After going around the campus, Gabrielle finally took Lolita to the canteen.

Lolita wondered why she and Gabrielle had not run into any of Gabrielle's classmates.

"Gab

rielle, aren't you in your senior year? Why haven't we bumped into any of your classmates?"

Lolita asked curiously.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who makes friends easily? I don't live on campus, so I don't have many good friends here. Besides, junior and senior students are the ones with the busiest lives here. Most of us balance our time between studies and part-time jobs. There's hardly any time left for socializing. I only see my classmates in lectures. The rest of the time, we're all busy working," Gabrielle explained.

"I guess that makes sense. You joined the studio in your junior year, right?" Lolita asked.

"Yes. Halfway through my junior year to be exact." Gabrielle suddenly remembered that she had been with the studio for more than half a year.

How time flew.

When Lolita and Gabrielle entered the canteen, many turned their heads to their direction, most of whom were boys. Lolita was not surprised. Gabrielle was a beautiful girl, and she was famous in the field of design.

However, it was tricky getting along well with her. She could be a bit cold sometimes, and that seemed to scare off potential suitors. Also, she worked hard, even to a fault.

Her male classmates did not see her much outside of classes.

Now, in the middle of Alorith University's canteen, Gabrielle was standing next to Lolita who was like a doll being ogled by basically everyone.

One could not blame the crowd. Beautiful girls were always a joy to behold.

"Are you aware that seven or eight boys have been staring at you since we walked in here?" Lolita asked teasingly.

"What? Really? Wait. Why do you assume that they're looking at me and not at you? You're cute, and you exude a cheery aura. Boys like that. Besides, the guys around here are more excited to get to know the ladies that don't go here. Between us, you're the strange, irresistible babe," Gabrielle teased back.

Lolita was not able to think of a rebuttal right away. Gabrielle really had a special way of rendering others speechless with her words.

Lolita could only smile.

"Well, I guess I like being the strange, irresistible babe for once. And since you find me so perfect, the food is my treat." Lolita winked at Gabrielle.

"Oh, no. This is my university, so it's my treat," Gabrielle refused directly. Lolita wanted to protest but decided against it.

"Okay, but you have to let me treat you to something else later. I remember there's a commercial street near here. There must be a lot of delicious food there. Let's go there so that I could treat you, and I'm not taking no for an answer this time," Lolita said, pointing her finger at Gabrielle's nose.

"All right, all right. After lunch, we'll go to that commercial street." How could Gabrielle refuse her request?

"Okay. That's settled then." After getting their food, Lolita and Gabrielle found seats near the window, sat down, and began eating.

In the middle of their meal, a tall boy approached them and stood beside Gabrielle. "Gabrielle!"

Lolita and Gabrielle looked up at the same time. When Gabrielle saw Jax, her face immediately changed. She did not like him very much because he was Benny's cousin and the man Emily liked.

"Hi, Jax. What can I do for you?" Gabrielle said coldly.

Hearing the ice in Gabrielle's voice, Lolita immediately drove her senses into high gear. She had to see and hear this interaction clearly because based on the way Gabrielle looked at the handsome guy in front of her, there was something going on between them.

"I haven't seen you around here for a long time. How have you been?" Jax flashed Gabrielle a sunshiny smile. He was definitely happy to see her.

And just by that one smile alone, Lolita concluded that Jax liked Gabrielle.

Nobody was able to hide their feelings for someone.
