Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 390

"Melissa, you have an eye for spotting potential talent with great personalities."

"She really is a good girl."

"I believe in Melissa's judgment, so I'm sure the young lady she chose is certainly a good one."

Gabrielle looked at them with meek eyes and found that they were serious about the compliments they were giving her, so her initial uneasiness had dissipated.

Soon, a confident smile appeared on her face. Since someone as prominent as Melissa chose her to be a protégé, there was no more reason to doubt herself.

Not a lot of people could have the opportunity she had been given.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Gabrielle. It's nice to meet you all! I hope you'll all help me out in the future," she declared, still wearing a confident smile.

"Are you passionate about jewelry designing?" asked one of the guests.

"I certainly think so. I've always dreamt of being a jewelry designer, so I majored it in college. Furthermore, I'm working as an intern for a jewelry designer," Gabrielle answered with a straight face.

Indeed, she had been born to be a jewelry designer.

All of them were engaged in jewelry designing, so they were all impressed of how serious she was about the craft.

"You're right, Melissa! I see another rising star in the industry of jewelry designing in the future."

"Stop flattering her. She can't take any more compliments. I merely wanted you all to meet her, not shower her with compliments. It's only natural for the person I've chosen to be good. You don't need to keep praising her. Now, let's get to the point, shall we?" It was obvious that Melissa was just trying to protect Gabrielle.

Gabrielle, in turn, could feel that, and it really touched her.

"Come, Gabrielle, sit down. Today, we'll be having a simple discussion. I figured this discussion would provide you with much needed knowledge, so I invited you over. There's no need to be nervous. Just think of this as an average conversation with elders," said Melissa.

Gabrielle was relieved to hear that. She felt that as long as Melissa was here, she had no need to worry.

"I understand, Ms. Glyn."

She then sat in silence, displaying the humility of a newcomer and listening intently. She made sure to remember everything they were saying.

When one of them asked her a question, she would carefully analyze it first before answering the question with her own understanding. Her answers were clear and logical, and her opinions made sense.

Her answers were all based on empirical evidence, so the seniors acknowledged her answers.

By the end of the discussion, everyone had come to see her in a new light. They were even more impressed of how Melissa had such a good eye for recognizing talent.

It was truly a marvel.

Aside from the seniors who had met Gabrielle for the first time, Jackson shared their astonishment.

It turned out that Gabrielle was hiding an incredible talent. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Melissa had a keen eye for people.

Once the seniors had left, Melissa asked Gabrielle and Jackson to remain.

"Ms. Glyn, did I say anything wrong during the discussion?" Gabrielle wasn't that confident with her contributions to the discussion.

After all, expressing her opinions in front of all those experts was quite dwarfing in confidence.

"What do you think, Gabrielle?" Melissa asked with a straight face.

Upon hearing her question, Gabrielle regained her confidence. "Ms. Glyn, all of what

I said earlier were my honest opinions, so I don't think there was anything wrong with them."

The way she confidently answered the question put a smile on Melissa's face.

"You did a good job today, Gabrielle. Be proud of it." Melissa gave her a thumbs up.

Embarrassed, Gabrielle shook her head while staring at Melissa. "Ms. Glyn, I was merely expressing my thoughts. I'm actually worried that the seniors disagree with my opinions. I still have a lot to learn, but I'll work even harder from now on."

Her passion and attitude pleased Melissa. 'Every time I meet this child, she really impresses me. I have the utmost confidence in her!'

"Gabrielle, as jewelry designers, we not only need to be able to understand how to craft jewelries, we also need to have a creative mind. And you, my dear, are very creative. If you have any ideas you'd like to share in the future, you can tell us. We can talk about it more once we have the opportunity to do so." Melissa's words encouraged Gabrielle.

"Yes, Ms. Glyn. I'll heed your advice." Gabrielle felt as though she had met a person who could bring out the best in her.

Moreover, Melissa was extraordinary. She was a prominent figure in the field of jewelry designing.

"Oh, by the way, Gabrielle, do you have time to have dinner with me tonight?" Melissa asked, staring at Gabrielle.

She had been wanting to spend more time with Gabrielle for a few reasons. One was the fact that Gabrielle had a knack for jewelry designing, and the other was the young vibe in her.

Those were only some of the reasons she had been wanting to get close to Gabrielle.

"Ms. Glyn, I hate to disappoint you, but I have an appointment tonight. I won't be able to join you." Gabrielle remembered that she needed to go home and have dinner with Westley, so she had no choice but to refuse Melissa's invitation.

She had to be honest with Melissa. She had stood Westley up so many times already, so she couldn't afford to do it again.

"I see. No need to apologize, my dear. Since you already have plans, it's okay." At her age, Melissa had experienced a lot of things, and she had become wise and knowledgeable.

Gabrielle was a young lady, and she was at the prime age for dating.

At first, Melissa thought that Jackson should seize the opportunity to be with someone as impressive as Gabrielle.

She figured they would make an excellent couple, considering how incredible they both were.

But Gabrielle probably had a boyfriend already.

'I guess it's fine. After all, fate happens for no apparent reason.

As long as Gabrielle finds a good man and lives a happy life, I'll be happy.'

"To make it up to you, I'll treat you to dinner next time, Ms. Glyn!" Gabrielle felt really bad. She had refused to have dinner with her role model.

"There will be plenty of chances for us to get together in the future. It's okay. Your date is more important. You should go home," said Melissa. Then, she turned to Jackson and said, "Jackson, make sure that she gets back safely."

Naturally, he didn't want to do it. In his eyes, Gabrielle was an ingrate. 'Many people would kill for a chance to have dinner with Ms. Glyn, and those who had tried to invite her had failed. Ms. Glyn has personally invited Gabrielle, and she had the gall to refuse it?

It's like she's humiliating Ms. Glyn!

Why would I be willing to drive her back?'

"Ms. Glyn, she doesn't need me to drive her home," Jackson stated in a cold voice.
