Lock You In My Heart Chapter 555
Lock You In My Heart
Gabrielle carefully walked in, carrying the flowers in her arms. She saw Melissa lying on the bed, sleeping soundly and looking healthier.
âMr. Walker, since Ms. Glyn is still sleeping, shall we go out and have a chat? I donât want to disturb her.â Gabrielle had always been considerate. She wanted Melissa to keep resting and get a good sleep.
âMs. Jones, if itâs convenient, letâs go to the coffee shop near the hospital. I have something to discuss with you,â Jonathan asked, looking at Gabrielle.
After considering it, Gabrielle nodded. âItâs alright with me, Mr. Walker. But I have to tell my husband first.â
âTake your time. Iâll go to the washroom first.â Jonathan signaled Gabrielle that he was going to the washroom. Gabrielle immediately let Westley know and asked him to wait for her in the childâs ward. She would be back after talking with Jonathan.
Westley replied to her message soon after, telling her he would wait for her.
Gabrielle was relieved and waited for Jonathan.
âMs. Jones, have you told your husband?â Jonathan came out, looking at Gabrielle calmly.
Although it was their first meeting, Jonathan had a good impression of Gabrielle. His wife had always mentioned her name many times. After Melissa had returned to Ensfield, she told him there was a very talented designer and a kind-hearted girl she met.
Perhaps it was because of Melissaâs words that left him a good impression of Gabrielle. After all, Melissa didnât often praise newcomers in the field.
Gabrielle even donated blood to Melissa and Jonathan felt grateful for it.
âIâve already told him, Mr. Walker. Iâll go meet him once weâve finished talking.â Gabrielle smiled at Jonathan.
At first, Gabrielle thought she would be afraid of such a dignified middle-aged man, but she didnât feel scared of Jonathan at all.
s.com Maybe because he was Melissaâs husband. Since Gabrielle liked Melissa so much, the people around her gave off the same feeling. Birds of a feather flock together, after all. âGreat. Shall we go, Ms. Jones?â Jonathan moved in front of Gabrielle and gently opened the ward door for her. He leaned to spare a few words to his bodyguard before riding the elevator. When they arrived at the coffee shop outside the hospital, Gabrielle felt a little nervous. âMs. Jones, please have a seat.â Jonathan noticed the expression on Gabrielleâs face. She looked very anxious. âThank you, Mr. Walker.â Gabrielle only felt relieved after sitting down. âWhat would you like to drink, Ms. Jones?â âMocha would be great, thank you very much.â Jonathan ordered two cups of Mocha then looked towards Gabrielle.
âMs. Jones, are you uncomfortable?â Jonathan asked her directly.
Gabrielle was taken aback when Jonathan asked her such a question out of the blue. She was at a loss for words. Her cheeks went rosy in shyness, and she gave him an apprehensive look.
âWhat do you mean, Mr. Walker?â Gabrielle asked uneasily.
Just then, the coffee was served. Jonathan lifted the cup and took a sip. âI hope you donât mind me asking. Iâm the boss of the Walker Group and Iâm usually very strict with my employees, so I scare them off. I kind of noticed you were nervous, so I felt bad. Iâm not that scary in private, so please donât be afraid. You are one of Melissaâs students, so Iâd like to be friendly.â
Gabrielle quickly understood what Jonathan meant after hearing his explanation. He didnât want her to misunderstand him.
âOh, itâs nothing like that, Mr. Walker. I donât think youâre scary at all.â Gabrielle was a little embarrassed. She admitted having been intimidated by Jonathan, but it didnât last that long.
âIâm glad to hear that Ms. Jones. If Melissa knew I scared her student away, sheâd get mad at me,â Jonathan replied calmly.
The girl in front of him was his wifeâs student and her junior. Gabrielle was not his employee, so he wouldnât treat her like one. He just couldnât hide his expression.
âI was just very nervous since itâs my first time meeting you in person, Mr. Walker. Youâre such a distinguished individual,â
Gabrielle explained, sipping her coffee. âIâm not that great, but Iâm honored, Ms. Jones.â Jonathan smiled and sat back in his chair. âMr. Walker, what did you want to talk to me about?â Gabrielle didnât waste any more time and asked bluntly. Since the CEO of the Walker Group wanted to talk with her, she was very curious.
âMy wifeâs blood type is very rare. If you didnât transfuse blood to her last time, she couldâve been in a more critical condition because of excessive blood loss. You have saved my wifeâs life, and itâs the reason why I wanted this talk. I wanted to thank you personally, Ms. Jones,â Jonathan explained seriously. Gabrielle smiled gently. She thought it was something more serious, but it was something she least expected. âMr. Walker, you didnât have to. Itâs an honor for me to have the opportunity to donate blood to Ms. Glyn. Iâm sure other people would have done the same thing. Besides, Ms. Glyn has helped me a lot. She recognizes my talent and provides me with numerous opportunities. Iâm very grateful to her.â Gabrielleâs words left Jonathan in a daze. Although he had heard from Melissa many times that Gabrielle was a good girl, he didnât know her personally.
But now, he believed what Melissa said was true. Gabrielle seemed to be very honest and kind-hearted. She wouldnât exchange kindness for benefits. âI understand, Ms. Jones. But because you saved my wife, Iâm indebted to you, and I wish to give you this gift. Please accept it.â Jonathan took out a check. Gabrielle examined the check and realized that the gift was in the eight-figure range. Jonathan was the Walker Groupâs CEO for a reason. He was extraordinarily generous. If Gabrielle had ten million, she wouldnât have to worry about her future. However, she had never thought of accepting such a reward. She didnât donate her blood for money. âMr. Walker, I appreciate it, but I canât accept the money. Even if Ms. Glyn isnât a family member, I would still give her my blood. I didnât help her because I expected something in return.â Gabrielle worded her rejection politely.
