Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 124 Do You Have A Boyfriend Alvin was mamentarily stunned. He was still as a stabile. It was quite some time before he came to his senses. Alvin felt as if he WAS waking up from a dream.
Gabrielle was at the Fragrance Restaurant, having lunch with another mani. No wonder Westley was so angry The reason for Weatleyâs unhappiness wasnât Brent, but Gabrielle.
As soon as Alvin received the order, he hastily got out of the car and headed towards Fragrance Restaurant. When he reached the door of the restaurant, Alvin inibe liately checked where Gabrielle was seated. He did not want to be seen Alvin was a bit relieved. when he noticed that she was facing the other way.
Alvin weaved through the tables and reached the counter to place huis order. Without hesitation he quickly ordered few green dishes to be sent to Gabrielleâs table. He paid the bill and rushed out of the restaurant.
Once outside the door, Alvin heaved a sigh of relief. He patted his chest as if to reassure his heart, which was beating wildly. He felt that he completed the given task with well-timed perfection Was sending Gabrielle green food Westleyâs way of warning her that she was sending him green hat? Everyone was aware that the expression meant that a woman was cheating on her husband or boyfriend. Westley was really very ruthless.
When Gabrielle and her friends were enjoying their lunch, the waiter approached the table with a heavy laden tray. He was balancing several dishes on it. When the waiter started placing the dishes on the table. Gabrielle looked at her friends questioningly. But they too were surprised. They noticed that all the dishes were green.
âExcuse me, we did not order this. Did you by any chance bring us some other tableâs a Gabrielle looked at the waiter with confused expression.
âNo, Miss Jones. A gentleman came and ordered these dishes and asked us to deliver it to your table,â the waiter replied honestly.
Gabrielle froze and her face lost its color. She glanced at the dishes once again and her mood went off A gentleman ordered all green dishes and Bent them to her table. Was it a coincidence or was he trying to send her a message? And what was the message?
âWho would dare to send these dishes to someone? Thatâs very insolent of them. On second thought, did you offend anyone, Gabrielle?â Macy questioned Gabrielle.
âGreen... All the dishes are green. Gabrielle, you must have offended someone who likes you. Itâs very impolite though. Is the man in question suggesting that you not send him a green hat?
Well, Lawrence was a Casanova and he did know a lot about these tricks, as well as the games played to gain oneâs attention..
Lawrence did not appreciate any man who would stoop so low.
The woman he liked, Gabby, was charming and beautiful. There was no doubt she had many admirers. He was one of them.
âWho is it? Gabrielle, do you have any idea?â Macy asked Gabrielle curiously.
Who is it?
Gabrielle most definitely knew who it was. It had been so long ago. She was in her twenties when she had crossed paths with that man. Gabrielle couldnât think of anyone else other than Westley, who could pull such al stunt.
âNo, I donât. It could be a prank or a man who has a crush on me. Other than that I donât know anyone who could do something like this. Or maybe I just donât remember,â Gabrielle lied calmly.
She tried to shrug it off, but it was of no use. She was thoroughly annoyed and it was difficult to compose herself. There was a restlessness within her.
If what she was thinking was true and Westley was responsible for this, then she was unable to understand why he would do this? What was he trying to say? Gabrielle was unable to make sense of it.
Was he trying to send her some kind of a warning? Was he telling her not to get too involved with Lawrence? It wasnât as if she was alone with Lawrence. Macy was also present. What was wrong with having a meal with friends?
Was Westley really so narrow-minded? Gabrielle always felt that someone was watching her. She always felt a tingling sensation at the back of her neck. But Gabrielle always let it go, thinking nothing about it As it turned out, it was not nothing. It was true and it was Westley who wis keeping his cold eyes on her.
He was the devil incarnate from hell. Gabrielle felt a shiver go through her body. She had absolutely no clue as to what was going on âIt looks like my Gabby is quite popular and has garnered someoneâs attention. Do I have many rivals?â Lawrence questioned jokingly.
Gabrielle was in no mood for Lawrenceâs candor. She did not want to deal with him right now. Gabrielle glanced at him and spoke testily.
âOh, what rival?! Please donât talk any nonsense.â . Gabrielle had no romantic feelings for Lawrence. How could he even consider himself as a rival to Westley in this matter?
âGabby, tell me the truth. Do you have a boyfriend?â Lawrence asked her. His voice was serious and direct.
After a short pause, Gabrielle looked him in the eye and shook her head decisively. âNo.â
legitimate However, Gabrielle did have husband!
The number of people who dared to offend her husband, the big boss of Antawood, were few âReally? Thatâs awesome. Well then, it looks like I do stand a chance to be your boyfriend, Lawrence said with a boyish grin on his face.
âNot necessary.â Gabrielleâs words were covered in frost.
However, Lawrence paid no heed to it. He just happily continued to look at her. âTo be honest, itâs up to me whether itâs necessary or not. I will definitely make it happen and be your boyfriend.â
âLawrence, if youâre done eating, then itâs time to pay the bill.â Gabrielle did not want to continue talking about it. She was certain that Westley had a hand in sending the dishes, which in fact, was a silent warning. There was no doubt in Gabrielleâs mind that he was close by.
Her anxiety was growing by the minute, knowing that Westley was staring at her and he could walk up to her any minute. She decided to leave as soon as they were done with their lunch.
âOkay, okay. I wonât make a fuss anymore. Letâs finish our lunch first.â Lawrence being a smart man, always knew when to stop.
Even though Gabrielle tried to act calm, he could make out that she was getting upset. He did not want to make matters worse.
If Gabrielle lost her temper, it would do him no good.
As soon as they were done with their lunch, Lawrence offered to drive the girls back. But, Gabrielle rejected the offer and dragged Macy away from the table and out of the restaurant, and looked around expecting to see Westley standing nearby.
She was disappointed when she did not see him. Gabrielle frowned and was trying to figure out whether someone played a prank on her or was it indeed Westley who did it?
âGabrielle, what are you trying to look at? Or are you searching for someone?â Looking at Gabrielle turn around in every direction, searching for something on someone, Macy started to get very curious.
Macy realized that once the waiter placed all those green dishes on their table, Gabrielleâs behavior had changed âNothing. You have to head to work and Iâve got to go back. Letâs part ways here,â Gabrielle told Macy abruptly.
After all, in Gabrielleâs heart, Macy was not as close a friend as Sloane was, so Gabrielle couldnât tell Macy anything âWell, yes, I have to get back to the office. I just heard from Vice Mr. Hughes that you hadnât gone to the studio for almost a month. Were you really very sick and weak? There was concern in Macyâs voice.
âYes. I just had a little accident. Iâm completely fine now.â Gabrielle nodded her head.
Gabrielle would never tell Macy that she had taken a monthâs leave to get married and not to recuperate from her so called accident.
âOh, then you must take care and rest well. Once youâre back to work, weâll have lunch together. It will be my treat,â Macy said enthusiastically.
Macy might not be street smart or she might not know much about the ways of the world, but her mama did not raise a fool.
Macy very well knew that there was something going on in Gabrielleâs mind and right now she was not willing to let anyone know about it Their friendship was new and it made perfect sense to Macy that Gabrielle wasnât very comfortable with sharing her secrets with her. Their friendship had not crossed that level, yet.
Gabrielle looked at Macy for a while and then said quietly. âOkay. Iâll call you when I come back to work.â 2 âGabrielle, be careful and take care.â Macy waved at her and was about to turn away when Gabrielle stopped her with a hand on her arm.
âMacy, please stay away from that guy. Lawrence. You can either search about him online or you can ask your colleagues about him. There will be some gossip about him. If you have any question, you can always call me, Gabrielle warned Macy.
