Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 Blocked By Someone

The car was still at least a kilomgter away from the studio, but Gabriellavas already urging him to pull over.

“Westley, I’m fine getting go here. Just stop the car. I’ll walk the cost of the way. You don’t need to drogat ‘me off at the door,” Gabrielle said, looking tense. Westley frowned she did the same thing when he drove ter to Alorith University. She asked high to pull over a considerable distance away from the gates. Westley did not mind it then because they were at a university and Gabrielle was a Student there. But he was driving her to a studio now. Why could he not drop her off at the door?

However, Westley still decided to stop the car.

“Gabrielle, do you really think of me as your personal chauffeur? Am I supposed to just drop you off wherever you want?” Westley asked, looking her dirantl..

He was the one who insisted on driving her here, and now he was unhappy because she did not want to inconvenience him by making him drive all the way to the studio.

Gabrielle let out a small sigh. Men really complicated. Especially Westley. He had mood swings of a pregnant, hormetal woman, One second, he was happy and the next, he was angry. Gavelle felt that Westley’s attitude Yoward everything was always all over the map. Predicting his dispositions any situation was as impossible as hiding a cloud in the sky..

But she was not really planning on figuring him out

He would never ever belong to her, so trying to understand him was pointless.

“Of course I dare not make the Mr. Moms my personal driver. But seriously, thank you for giving me a ride. I have to go now, or I will be late.” After sincerely thanking Westley, Gabrielle got off the car.

But Westley did not really want her gratitude

“What time are you getting off work?” Westley asked

“I’m usually out by six o’clock. I don’t know yet if I need to work overtime today. But I’ll call you when I get a work, okay?” Seeing that Westley’s etc got darker and darker, G ielle immediately changed her tong to coax him..

“Fine, but remember who you promised. Don’t break it.” Westley still felt wat Gabrielle could not be trusted. 09

There was only one thought in Gabrielle’s mind right now. “Am I a liar in Westley’s eyes, a person who doesn’t know how to keep a promise?’

Gabrielle made a mental note to come home early tonight and make Westley a meal

“Yes, yes. Drive safely, please. I really have to go now.” Gabrielle picked up her bag and ran as fast as she could. Westley watched as she ran away. A man on a scooter almost ran her over but hit the brakes in time. It made Westley’s heart leap to his throat. He felt so scared that he considered rushing over to the scooter rider and beating the hell out of him,

Some people really did not know how to drive responsibly. They did not watch the road enough to see what was in front of them. It pissed Westley off

Soon, Gabrielle arrived at the stude and ran into Vivian who was leanin against a lamppost by the entrance atid sipping her coffee. She smiled andabrielle, but her eyes told a differe’story. She was up to something “Good morning Vivian.” Gabrielle wanted to just Walk past Vivian, but she could not ignore her.

At the company, Vivian was a senior to Gabrielle, so Gabrielle felt obliged to greet her.

“Hey, Gabrielle. I have a question for you. “Vivian left the lamppost and walked toward Gabrielle, holding out her cup of coffee in front of her.

Gabrielle watched Vivian strut toward her with her long, white legs. She could

not decide whether it was Vivian’s effortless stride in ridiculously high heeled shoes or her knowing state that sent a chill down her spine.

Vivian was a glamorous, extremely alluring woman, but she was arrogant and had a temper. Everyone in the studio was temified of her. She was a powerful designer that no one dared to provokse openly.

Since they could not afford to offynd her, they avoided her. “Vivian, I honestly don’t know any questions that I can anger for you. I’m not on your level of terms of both professionalism and qualification, I think I should be the oMe to have questions for you.” Gabrielle tried her best to be polite with a pinch of flattery thrown in.

It was a desperate attempt on her part to dodge Vivian’s question. She could not possibly know any better about anything than Vivian

After all, in the studio, Vivian was basically God. She worked on her own and did not require anybody’s assistance. She could solve every problem by herself except for some that she had to involve

Jason in

So when Vivian walked up to her and told her that she had a question for her. Gabrielle could not help feeling confused and a little scared.

Vivian had always been hostile to her because of Jason

So if Vivian was being chatty toward or now, something was definitely not diht.

“What I want to ask you has thing to do with design. I saw you get out of a luxury car near the buswiation. Didn’t you say that you came iom an ordinary family? How could you afford such a car? How did you do is cabrielle? Can you tell me?” Raising her eyebrows, Vivian curled her lips into an evil grin.

Gabrielle swallowed and told herself to keep her cool. She was right. Vivian was up to no good

But she had no idea how Vivian saw her get out of Westley’s car. Perhaps she just saw the car but did not see Westley or the car’s license plate.

And even if she did see the license plate, she would never be able to trace the car

back to Westley. Alvin had made sure of that

“I’m not sure I understand what you mean.” Obviously, Gabrielle was playing dumb.

“Sweetie, there‘s no point pretending to be stupid.” All of a sudden, the fake smile melted off Vivian’s beautiful face She stepped up to Gabrielle and stargo her down

While Vivian was trying to ignidate Gabrielle, a colleague of thgos arrived and walked right past them with her head down. It was no s et that Vivian loathed Gabrielle, un nobody in the Studio wanted to caught in Vivian’s wrath

In the past, Vivian found many excuses to make trouble for Gabrielle. Gabrielle was easy-going, and she did whatever Vivian asked her to do.

She was a little bit of a pushover, and Vivian milked that fact for her own benefit and even amusement.

Although her colleagues felt sorry for Gabrielle, none of them tried to defend her from Vivian

“i’m not pretending to be stupid. Did you just wait out here so that you could ask me about a car?” Gabrielle was genuinely

curious.

Why did Vivian care about the kind of car that she rode to work?

“Fine. It’s an Uber.” Gabrielle simply smiled and told Vivian a bold-faced lie.

The look on Gabrielle’s face and tone pissed Vivian off.

‘An Uber? What Uber driver dove around in a Bentley?

Nobody who had a Bentley would place such a car under Uber, even Uber Premium.

Did Gabrielle think I’m an idiot?’

“Are you sure about that?” Vivian cocked her head to the side and sneered.

She had Gabrielle all figured out the moment Austin recommended her for a position in the studio, Women who looked timid and harmless were often the ones who were scheming. Gabrielle

gave off that vibe to Vivian, and Vivian had been watching her closely ever since they met.

“Yes. If you want, I can book you an Uber nght now.” Gabrelle looked at Vivian with a smile. She told a lie, and she stood by it.

Since Vivian was not letting it go was willing to drag it out for her. 0°

Whether Vivian believed her p not was Vivian’s business.

“Gabrielle, you…” “Good morning, bous!” Gabrielle shouted at Jason who was getting out of his car parked not far away.

The displeasure on Vivian’s face was immediately replaced by a gentle smile. She turned around and looked at Jason fondly.

“Good morning, Jason.”
