Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 234 Gabrielleâs Big Boss After putting the soup down for Westley, Alvin immediately ran downstairs to pick up the porridge from Gabrielle. He came back with minced pork porridge with preserved egg. Gabrielle followed him upstairs, watching Westley drinking the soup.
She got close to him and asked happily. âWestley, how does the soup Qaste?â Gabrielle wore an expectant look!
âWell, itâs great.â For Westley, the soup Teally tasted exceptional He thought that a small restaurant like this would not use good ingredients, but he could clearly smell fresh ingredients. âThey must have taken hours to simmer soup with good ingredients without any additives.â Being picky, Westley could tell by just tasting whether the soup was made from the best ingredients or not.
Hearing him, Gabrielle felt relieved. She was worried that Westley would complain about this place and leave if he didnât like the food here.
She didnât expect that Westley could be So equable to enjoy in such a small restaurant âSure enough, everyone likes Akibaâs soup.â Gabrielle smiled.
âItâs good, then. You know, Akiba cooks the best soup and porridge. Akibaâs barbecue stall doesnât only sell barbecue. Many people come here for the famous soup and porridge he cooks too. Otherwise, I wouldnât bring you her only for one dish.â
Gabrielle sat beside him happily In the beginning, she didhât want to get close to him. But now_cabrielle was used to sitting next to him. It seemed like a habit of her, happening on its own.
bogelwo âYes, itâs good.â It was a very high compliment from Westley.
âIf you like it, I will cook it for you in the future. After all, I have stayed here for a few months. So, I have learned how to cook this one.â u Gabrielle served him a bowl of porridge, Smiling boastfully.
Westley stared at her for a few seconds. He obviously couldnât believe that she said that so sincerely. âGabrielle, you must keep your promise. If you canât do it, donât say it.â
Westley raised his eyebrow. warning her. Gabrielle gave him an aggrieved look, handing him the porridge. âIâm not that dishonest, Westley. Youâre saying this as if I am a rascal who canât keep her promise.â
âThatâs exactly what you are,â Westley said without a pause. He felt amused.
Gabrielle was embarrassed being teased this way. âWhich girl woulPbe happy to be called a rascal?
âNo, I am not. Donât jest about that, Westley.â Gabrielle made a face.
âThen remember, the last person Iâd like will be the one who canât do what he says. Since you said that you would cook soup for me in the future, you should keep it in mind and do what you say.â Westleyâs tone was calm.
âI know! Donât worry. Iâm not that unreliable.â Gabrielle looked at him with a grievance.
Akiba and his wife brought the barbecue upstails for them. When they appeared at the door and heard their conversation, the older woman naturally started complimenting Gabrielle without hesitation. âYes, sir. Please, trust Our Gabrielle. She has always been an honest girl. She will do what she says.â
In fact, Gabrielle was a good girl. She was kind, diligent, and honest. As long as she had promised something she would fulfill her promise, no matter how hard it won That was also the reason why she and Akiba admired her so thuch. She was worth being liked.
She and Akiba especially came upstairs to greet Gabrielleâs big boss. They wanted to meet him to show him respect, hoping that he would take care of the girl in the company in the future. Sure enough, he looked even more attractive when he didnât wear his sunglasses, âThis big boss is so attractive,â the older woman thought, amazed at his appearance.
âGabrielle, your big boss is so handsome. He looks like a TV star.â
She looked at Gabrielle, frankly telling her point of view âBig boss?â
Hearing this new word, Westley looked at Gabrielle confusedly. âHow did she introduce me to Akiba and his wife?â
âYes. He is indeed handsome. He just doesnât talk much. Anyway, our lossâs sumame is Morris, and his assistantâs surname is Brooks.â Gabrielle stilled.
Finally, Westley knew hos Gabrielle had introduced him to the old couple. For them, he was Gabrielleâs boss, not her legitimate husband.
Although Westley didnât like the identity as the big boss, Gabrielle was still young, after all. If she told them that she got married secretly, they might get shocked.
âMr. Morris, our Gabrielle works in your company. Please, take care of her. She is a good girl, so please, be kind to her,â the older woman humbly requested Westley.
âOur company is kind to every employee and cherishes every talent.â Westleyâs tone was surprisingly professional. 1 Emily was satisfied enough to hear this. âThis big boss is not only handsome but quite sedate and sensible too. Working for him must be a promising job for Gabrielle âMr. Morris, Gabrielle is really a good girl. She is diligent and sensible. When she worked part-time here, not only did ve like her, the customers in the shopand the owners of the nearby shops also liked her a lot.â
The older woman continued praising Gabrielle, which made Gabrielle feel unworthy.
In an instant, she made Gabrielle the most popular girl on the island.
Westley hadnât expected that Gabrielle was such a popular favorite that she would be welcomed wherever she went.
âWell, youâre saying so many nice things about me. Donât blow the trumpet.â Gabrielle made fun of it.
She knew that Akibaâs was afraid that they might unfairly treat Gabrielle. So, she said those nice words for her to let her boss know Gabrielleâs worth. But the man in front of her was not her boss, but her husband. And the older woman was unaware of that.
âI know, Gabrielle is a talented employee. We will offer her proper training. We donât miss any talent. So, donât worry.â Westley was really trying his best to act accordingly.
It was out of Gabrielleâs expectations. She had no idea that the dignified head of the Morris Group not only had a superstarâs beauty but also had impeccable acting talents âYes, we know.. abrielle fights for herself. She wonât let you down.â The older woman was satisfied. But Gabrielle felt quite uncomfortable.
Coincidentally, a guest called for service downstairs. Gabrielle was going to send the two elders downstairs, anyway. So, this appeared to be a good opportunity. The older woman was being way too enthusiastic.
âWell, now you know that Iâm fine. The guest downstairs has called you. You can go back to work now. Donât worry about us. Iâll come downstairs by myself if 1 need anything.â She almost urged them Before they would say something else, Gabrielle had indirectly begged them to leave. Nevertheless, the older womani liked Westley, the big boss, a lot. As long as she was not busy, she brought him a glass of water or a drink to meet him again and again.
At last, when they left, she had doved back and forth so many times Gabrielle was worried that she would be tired. But the thought that Westleye would dislike her zealous service worried Gabrielle even more.
Before they left, the older woman had already asked Westley to take care of Gabrielle several times.
âOur boss is insightful. He recognizes a good employee right when he sees one. So, if I behave well, he will definitely notice it.
So, please, donât ask him to take care of me more.â Gabrielle said, holding her hand, Gabrielle was quite satisfied and happy with their service and for being cared for by them. She had cherished their care so much.
âOkay. be careful on your way back. Come again when you have time.â The older woman waved her hand and didnât say anything more. âYoung people donât like elders talking too much about their affairs. If we talk too much, they will become unhappy,â she sighed.
âOkay. See you next time!â Gabrielle hurriedly led the two away.
She wanted to escape from the beated eyes of Akiba and his wife, but the two elders kept on watching them leave with great interest âThis is the first time that Gabrielle has brought male friends to our restaurant for dinner, right? These two young men are both handsome and young, but Mr. Morris is more attractive. He would be a better match for Gabrielle.â
The older woman smiled boastfully.
âWhat are you thinking? He is Gabrielleâs boss. Donât be their matchmaker. Whatâs wrong with you? Are you too tired from cooking that youâve started thinking of this stuff? And, you shouldnât have gone to see him so many times. Arenât you afraid of bringing trouble to Gabrielle?â Akiba rolled his eyes at her, shaking his head...
âYou donât understand. If he really is just a boss and doesnât have any interest in Gabrielle, he wouldnât come to our small restaurant with an ordinary employee. Look at him. People from the upper class like him donât come to a place like ours, normally.â The older woman raised her chin proudly as if she had seen through everything âSo, do you mean that the boss likes Gabrielle?â Akiba couldnât believe it because he had never paid attention to these things.
âIf he didnât like Gabrielle, why did he open the water bottle for her? Did you not see that? When I handed the bottle to Gabrielle, her boss took it and unscrewed it for her. Why would he be so considerate if he doesnât like her?â For her, her assumptions were equitable enough.
âYou are thinking way too much. Letâs go back and make the barbecue.â Akiba wasnât interested in gossips. He simply tumed around and went inside.
