Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 355 She Was Westleyâs Woman Gabrielle didnât expect to see Vivian here. Of all the people Gabrielle thought she would bump into, she never thought Vivian would be one of them.
Gabrielle looked in disbelief at Vivian who was a few meters away. Vivian also had her drink arrested halfway to her lips as she stared back. Then, the woman darted her eyes to Westley and back to Gabrielle. Vivian had an unreadable expression, and while she didnât openly show her disgust, she clearly looked down on Gabrielle.
When Vivian saw Gabrielle get out of Westleyâs luxury car last time, she Sneered at Gabrielle. Vivian believed that the only way Gabrielle could afford something so expensive was by hooking up with rich men. Vivian always made her feel like Gabrielle was beneath her.
Gabrielle arrived at Michealâs birthday party tonight. Vivian naturally assumed that the only way Gabrielle scored an invite was because of Westley. Vivian gave her a once-over before doing the same to Westley. It was clear what Vivian was implying She didnât need to say anything to send her message across.
Westley noticed Vivian Staring maliciously at him and Gabrielle. He looked at Gabrielleâs stiff shoulders, she was standing ramrod straight and clutching her bag tightly. Right there and then, Westley knew that the two women knew each other And judging by their facial expressions, they werenât on good terms.
âGabrielle, do you know each other?â Westley asked her as he put his hand on the small of her back.
âMy colleague. So can you... please pretend that we do not know each other later?â Gabrielle shifted her weight uneasily. Her forehead was starting to sweat.
âThereâs no need for that. With the way sheâs looking at us, she has already guessed our relationship. Itâs impossible to pretend to be strangers now,â Westley stated matter-of-factly.
Gabrielle took a deep breath and planced at Westley. He was right. Vivian was a shrewd, vindictive woman. She already rived at i conclusion faulty it might be- so it was unnecessary for Gabrielle to deny anything. It was simply too late.
Anyway. she hadnât done anything wrong to Vivian, There was nothing to hide, and Gabrielle wasnât guilty of doing anything shameful.
âMia, is Vivian a member of the Murphy family?â Gabrielle asked directly. still looking at Vivian at the corner of her eyes.
âVivian and Cayden-are they related?â Gabrielle wondered.
âNo, that woman has nothing to do with the Murphy family. Sheâs not their relative. Sheâs just one of the friends of Caydenâs sister. Cayden actually brought her here today. Can you imagine? Itâs unbelievable!â Mia didnât bother hiding her disgust.
âI didnât expect that sheâs your colleague and you work in the same studio. I know sheâs a very good jewelry designer. But I didnât like her at first sight. Sheâs antagant, and thereâs something about her that gives me the creeps. When she saw my brother, her eyes lit up. I guess she deliberately asked Caydenâs sister to bring her here. Sheâs obviously on the hunt for a richi guy to hook up with. Unfortunately for me, I know what sheâs thinking all too well.â Mia didnât like Vivian, who she had just met for the first time. Mia fanned her face with her hand after her long rant, Because of Caydenâs matter, Mia hated every member of the Murphy family. As for this Vivian, Mia could feel her blood boil just at the sight of her.
That woman had the gall to come over and flirt not just with Micheal but with every rich man she laid her eyes on. Mia was no stranger to this particular type of woman.
âYes, a colleague. Sheâs my boss, actually. but we donât have a particularly good relationship. Besides, the entire company doesnât know about my marriage. I especially donât want her to know.â Gabrielle revealed. She tried so hard to avoid Vivian whenever she could. But enemies were always bound to meet somewhere âNow, how should we deal with her?â Gabrielle turned to Westhey who was quietly listening to her conversation with Cayden and Vivian were coming closer. It worried Gabrielle.
It never occurred to Gabrielle that the first unexpected person she would meet in Michealâs villa was Vivian. She didnât know what to say, and she had no idea how to handle this situation.
However, Westley reached out his hand and pulled her into his arms. She always fit his body perfectly.
âWestley, what are you doing?â Gabrielle almost yelped at Westleyâs sudden, unexpected embrace. Westley responded by resting his chin on her head and pulling her closer, Gabrielle had long protected their secret, and she didnât want their relationship to be made public. But here was Westley, Wrapping her in his arms a little forcefully. Was he going to reveal their marriage to Vivian directly?
âGabrielle, do you trust me? I can handle this,â Westley whispered in her car She leaned back and saw him Taise his eyebrow at her Gabrielle only got more nervous. She thed to cad his mind, but of course, she couldnât.
She had absolutely zero idea what Westley was planning to do. So she laid her hand on his chest, and searched his handsome features.
âDo you want to make our relationship public?â She spoke in a low voice, her palms already sweating âIf you donât want to reveal that weâre married, we can just make her believe that sheâs right about our relationship.â Something wicked flared in Westleyâs eyes. He smiled smugly at her.
What does she think our relationship is?â Gabrielle was still in a daze. She couldnât think straight; she was suddenly glad Westley was here to help her out.
Vivian and the others had amived in front of them. Vivian was staring daggers at her.
âMiss Robinson, Gabrielle, do you two know each other?â Vivian flached her white terth at Gabrielle, but her eyes were focused on Westleyâs hand testing on Gabrielleâs shoulder. Vivian looked like a predator who couldnât wait to rip Gabrielle into pieces.
Vivian was holding a drink in one hand, and she swirled its contents as she continued to stare at the couple. It didnât escape her notice that the man just hugged Gabrielle in public, basically declaring that there was something between them. Vivian previously thought that Gabrielle must have been hooking up with a rich man, and now, it seemed that Vivianâs guess was corect.
Vivian had to hand it to Gabrielle; she was really something she didnât just hook up with anyone the guy had to be Westley. âHow is Gabrielle so good at this? Whatâs her play?â Vivian clearly underestimated Gabrielle.
âYes, sheâs my friend,â Mia Said curtly She didnât like scheming women like Vivian at all.
Naturally, she wasnât going to pretend to be friendly towards Vivian, Mia made it clear that Vivian shouldnât even be at the Vivian couldnât blame Mia, though. She was the daughter of the Hobinson family. and if she looked down on Vivian, then it was her right, Vivian didnât really care either way Gabrielle surprised Vivian. She wasnât just with Westley, but she was also Miaâs good friend. Vivian thought Gabrielle was good at inserting herself among the elite.
âHello, Mr. Morris. Iâm Gabrielleâs colleague. Vivian. Iâve heard a lot about you, I feel so lucky to see you here today. âVivian extended her hand to Westley. giving him her best smile.
Westley only looked at her hand and didnât shake it. Vivian cleared her throat before she stood straighter. âMiss Viviani, since youâve seen us, thereâs no point in hiding it anymore. Gabrielle is my woman. I hope you can take care of her in the future, and I hope no one finds out about today. You seem like a smart person. Do you understand what Iâm Saying?â
Vivianâs eyes widened in realization that she was right. Gabrielle was indeed Westleyâs secret lover. Vivian decided to store this information she might need it someday.
âMr. Morris, I know what you mean. Donât worry. I wonât talk about this.â Vivian smiled coyly and made a zipping motion over her mouth-indicating that she would keep it shut. When she got her confirmation about the status of Gabrielle and Westleyâs relationship. Vivian felt so much better.
âThatâs great. Otherwise, you might not be able to withstand the consequences.â Westley said flatly. Even though he didnât raise his voice, his meaning was loud and clear, Vivian was no fool, and she understood it immediately.
âI know, Mr. Morris. Donât worry about it. * Vivian didnât like being threatened, especially in front of other people. But this was Westley, and she couldnât afford to offend someone like him.
âMia, what are you talking about here? Itâs too cold. Letâs go inside where itâs warmer.â Cayden came out to usher Mia inside.
Mia rolled her eyes at him and crossed her arms over her chest. âCayden, didnât you hear what I said? You have no right buiting in on my business. Itâs so annoying to see you, so stop showing up in front of me.â
