Lock You In My Heart By B. MADRON Chapter 314
Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 314 She Thought He Wanted To Flirt With Jason finally understood that when he spoke to a woman who was so simple, direct and lovely, he could not beat around the bush.
He would have to be straightforward. Otherwise, Lolita might misunderstand him. He was aware of it.
âLolita, youâre correct. Iâm Gabrielleâs mentor, and you are her good friend. You can call me Jason like she does in private from now on, Jason said, clearing up the matter.
Lolita still gave him an awkward look. He was her boss. It was not appropriate to address him directly by his name.
âMr. Foster...â she tried.
âJason!â he insisted.
Lolita hesitated for a few moments and finally opened her mouth. âMr...â
âJust Jason!â Jason encouraged her.
Lolita believed that it would be disrespectful towards Jason to call him by his name. After all, he was her boss. It was improper to call him that, âLolita, Iâm your boss. This is my request as your boss. Can you agree to it?â Jason used his position as her boss to coerce her.
Lolita had no choice but to relent and nod her assent.
âIâll call you Jason. But you canât let anyone else know,â she finally agreed.
Jasonâs lips curled up in a small smile. Although it was barely noticeable, it was enough to let his happiness shine through. N âWell, in private, Iâll allow you to call me that.â Jason respected Lolitaâs thoughts.
ait Lato âOkay, Jason.â Lolita had never been a shy woman. She had spent five or six years abroad, so her thinking was progressive âMy boss just asked me to call him by his name, not sweetheart or something like that. Thereâs no need to feel embarrassed, she reassured herself.
Although she had female colleagues who would happily call him sweetheart in private, Lolita wanted to steer clear of such idiotic behavior.
âItâs nice to hear you call me Jason. From now on, you can address me the same way Gabrielle does.â Jason was very pleased with the way she said his name. Her voice was as soft as her features. It was warm and mild, and pleasant to the ears.
âJason, should we discuss the materials now, or can we go and eat first?â Lolitaâs cheeks warmed with embarrassment as she looked at him Jason was a little startled when he heard her question. Then a smile spread on his lips and he looked back at her. âAre you hungry? Didnât you eat lunch properly?â
Lolita was mortified. She was too excited to eat when she heard that Michelle was here at noon. She had happily rushed back with Gabrielle and hadnât been in the mood to think about what to eat. All she could think about was Michelle.
She thought she would have a big meal after work, but her plans had changed.
She was forced to work overtime by her boss, so she had to remain hungry.
She was starving now.
âYes. I was too excited when I found out that Michelle was coming here at noon, so I didnât eat enough. I had planned to have a big meal after work and reward myself, but...â Lolitaâs voice trailed off and she didnât dare to complete her sentence, fearing that Jason would be offended.
âBut I asked you to work overtime?â Jason completed her sentence with a raised eyebrow.
Lolita nodded Shyly.
âLetâs have a look at the materials first. Then I will treat you to a big dinner, Jason said and gave her a calm look.
Lolitaâs eyes lit up at the mention of food, but soon dimmed again. âJason, forget about the big dinner. Iâm fine.â
âFine?â he thought and cringed inwardly. He didnât want her to refuse.
âYou look over the documents first. Iâll be in my office.â He turned around and left Lolitaâs cubicle.
As soon as he left, Lolita heaved a sigh of relief and sent a message to Gabrielle.
âGabrielle, why did Mr. Foster ask me to work late and ask me to call him Jason? He said itâs because you and me are good friends. Iâm starving right now and he has said that he will treat me to a big dinner tonight. Do you think I should accept his offer?â Lolita typed a long message as her stomach churned with uneasiness.
Gabrielle was about to go to No. 1 Champs Elysees, when she saw Lolitaâs long text. She didnât know how to reply to her.
âIt waso strange enough that Jason specifically asked Lolita to work late and used me as an excuse. Now, he is also asking her to address him as Jason,â she thought, perplexed.
This... She couldnât figure out what was going on in his mind.
It was very puzzling.
âJust follow his instructions. Thank you for your hard work tonight.â In the end, Gabrielle had no choice but to reply professionally.
âItâs doubtful that Jason has suddenly started caring so much about Lolita. But I shouldnât dwell too much on this.
Itâs his business.
Maybe he really is interested in Lolita.â
However, Gabrielle immediately dispelled this idea. It was too appalling to think such a thing Lolita was a little nervous, but she didnât know what to say. âGabrielle, I donât think I have offended Mr. Foster. You donât think this is a prank, right? He asked me to work late when I was about to leave. Itâs terrible. Please help me figure out if he really wants to give me a hard time.â
Gabrielle was shocked by Lolitaâs message. Jason had said that he would work overtime with her, had invited her to dinner, and asked her to call him by his first name.
Everything was weird. It was natural for Lolita to feel worried.
âLolita, trust me. Itâs okay. Donât you know what kind of person Jason is?â Gabrielle could only comfort Lolita.
Lolita contemplated this for a while. It looked like she had read too much into his request today. She had even thought that Jason wanted to flirt with her. She was overthinking âI am seeing things that arenât there.
I shouldnât think so much,â she told herself sternly.
âGabrielle, I think I have overanalyzed this situation. I wonât stay preoccupied by it now. Iâm going to try and finish my work as soon as possible.â After sending the message to Gabrielle, Lolita breathed a sigh of relief. âI shouldnât be thinking like this,â she chided herself.
Jason is giving me a chance to improve my skills. Iâm a horrible person to misunderstand his kindness.
âPlease donât tell Mr. Foster about this. Just pretend that I didnât say anything, okay?â Lolita texted Gabrielle worriedly. She didnât want her to read too much into this.
âDonât worry, Lolita. I wonât tell Jason about it. Come on!â Gabrielleâs car arrived at the hotel. After sending off her reply to Lolita, she got out of the car and went in With all her doubts cleared, Lolita began reading the documents peacefully.
Lolita was a smart girl. How could she not know what Jason had on his mind?
Gabrielle thought, âWhat is Jason planning?â Just then she got another message. It was from Lolita. âGabrielle, do you think Mr.
Foster has some problem with me? Am I just thinking too much?â
After thinking for a while. Gabrielle thought, âSurely, itâs not any problem that he has with her. Itâs obvious that heâs interested in her.â
âDonât think too much. Go ahead and do what Jason asks you to do. Donât ask anything that you shouldnât ask.â Gabrielle had mixed feelings as she sent her reply to Lolita.
She didnât want to think too much about it, but couldnât stop herself.
âAlright! I wonât go against Mr. Fosterâs will. Maybe he really likes my strength, not my beauty. Do you think so?â From her message, Gabrielle could feel that Lolita was confident about herself.
On reading the message, Gabrielle couldnât help laughing. Sure enough, she knew that Lolita was quite smart and by now she would have guessed something.
Now that she knew Lolita would be able to guess it, she didnât have to worry.
And another huge factor was that she believed in Jasonâs moral quality. She knew he would never misuse his power or authority to exploit others.
Suddenly the doorbell rang. Michelle stood up and ran to open the door. Gabrielle put down her phone deliberately. She craned her neck to check out who had come inside. She wondered if it could be the person who had invited them to dinner tonight.
Behind Michelle were two young men pushing the dining cart. They were wearing white clothes, like a chef.
It seemed that the dinner had arrived now.
When she didnât see the one who invited them, Gabrielle felt a little disappointed.
âGabrielle, our dinner is here. Wait a moment. Our dinner will be served soon. We can have it. Itâs really a big meal.â
With her face beaming with happiness, Michelle walked towards Gabrielle.
Just looking at the number of dishes on the cart, they could tell how wonderful the dinner would be.
âWell, so did you order this?â asked Gabrielle curiously.
âNo. It had been ordered by the big boss, who invited us to dinner.â Michelle didnât want to hide anything. Anyway, she knew that it was Westley who had ordered it. She had nothing to hide.
âWell, so when will he come?â Gabrielle became more and more curious about that man.
Hearing what she said, Michelle smiled. âYouâll know in a minute. The dishes are ready. Gabrielle, letâs go to have dinner.â
Gabrielle and Michelle went ahead and took their seats.
âMiss Michelle, your dinner is ready now. Please enjoy.â Saying so, the waiter had taken off all the lids. The smell of the dishes was very tempting.
âThank you. Hopefully we will have a good dinner.â Michelle thanked them politely. âMiss Michelle, Iâm actually a big fan of yours. Can you please give me an autograph?â One of them couldnât stop himself and asked for her autograph.
Hearing it, Michelle agreed and smiled. âOf course I can sign it. But I hope you can keep it a secret that Iâm here for dinner. After all, I donât want to be disturbed.â
âOf course, I will keep it a secret, Miss Michelle.â The waiter agreed happily.
Sovelworld âWhere do you want me to sign?â Michelle asked deliberately. The waiter excitedly handed over the pen to her. âPlease sign on my shirt. Iâll keep it forever.â
Michelle took the pen and gently signed on it for the waiter.
âWell, thank you so much for being my fan.â Michelle was a nice person, polite and gentle. But she was not the same for everyone.
âGreat! Thank you so much for the autograph, Miss Michelle. Weâll leave now. If you need anything, please do let us know.â The waiter pushed the dining cart and left happily. The aroma of the food filled the room, making Michelle and Gabrielle feel hungrier than they actually were.
