Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 555

Gabrielle carefully walked in, carrying the flowers in her arms. She saw Melissa lying on the bed, sleeping soundly and looking healthier.

“Mr. Walker, since Ms. Glyn is still sleeping, shall we go out and have a chat? I don’t want to disturb her.” Gabrielle had always been considerate. She wanted Melissa to keep resting and get a good sleep.

“Ms. Jones, if it’s convenient, let’s go to the coffee shop near the hospital. I have something to discuss with you,” Jonathan asked, looking at Gabrielle.

After considering it, Gabrielle nodded. “It’s alright with me, Mr. Walker. But I have to tell my husband first.”

“Take your time. I’ll go to the washroom first.” Jonathan signaled Gabrielle that he was going to the washroom. Gabrielle immediately let Westley know and asked him to wait for her in the child’s 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.

“Ms. Jones, have you told your husband?” 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 Melissa’s words that left him a good impression of Gabrielle. After all, Melissa didn’t often praise newcomers in the field.

Gabrielle even donated blood to Melissa and Jonathan felt grateful for it.

“I’ve already told him, Mr. Walker. I’ll go meet him once we’ve finished talking.” Gabrielle smiled at Jonathan.

At first, Gabrielle thought she would be afraid of such a dignified middle-aged man, but she didn’t feel scared of Jonathan at all. s.com Maybe because he was Melissa’s husband. Since Gabrielle liked Melissa so much, the people around her gave off the same feeling. Birds of a feather flock together, after all. “Great. Shall we go, Ms. Jones?” 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. “Ms. Jones, please have a seat.” Jonathan noticed the expression on Gabrielle’s face. She looked very anxious. “Thank you, Mr. Walker.” Gabrielle only felt relieved after sitting down. “What would you like to drink, Ms. Jones?” “Mocha would be great, thank you very much.” Jonathan ordered two cups of Mocha then looked towards Gabrielle.

“Ms. Jones, are you uncomfortable?” 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.

“What do you mean, Mr. Walker?” Gabrielle asked uneasily.

Just then, the coffee was served. Jonathan lifted the cup and took a sip. “I hope you don’t mind me asking. I’m the boss of the Walker

Group and I’m usually very strict with my employees, so I scare them off. I kind of noticed you were nervous, so I felt bad. I’m not that scary in private, so please don’t be afraid. You are one of Melissa’s students, so I’d like to be friendly.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Gabrielle quickly understood what Jonathan meant after hearing his explanation. He didn’t want her to misunderstand him.

“Oh, it’s nothing like that, Mr. Walker. I don’t think you’re scary at all.” Gabrielle was a little embarrassed. She admitted having been intimidated by Jonathan, but it didn’t last that long.

“I’m glad to hear that Ms. Jones. If Melissa knew I scared her student away, she’d get mad at me,” Jonathan replied calmly.

The girl in front of him was his wife’s student and her junior. Gabrielle was not his employee, so he wouldn’t treat her like one. He just couldn’t hide his expression.

“I was just very nervous since it’s my first time meeting you in person, Mr. Walker. You’re such a distinguished individual,” Gabrielle explained, sipping her coffee. “I’m not that great, but I’m honored, Ms. Jones.” Jonathan smiled and sat back in his chair. “Mr. Walker, what did you want to talk to me about?” Gabrielle didn’t waste any more time and asked bluntly. Since the CEO of the Walker Group wanted to talk with her, she was very curious.

“My wife’s blood type is very rare. If you didn’t transfuse blood to her last time, she could’ve been in a more critical condition because of excessive blood loss. You have saved my wife’s life, and it’s the reason why I wanted this talk. I wanted to thank you personally, Ms. Jones,” Jonathan explained seriously. Gabrielle smiled gently. She thought it was something more serious, but it was something she least expected. “Mr. Walker, you didn’t have to. It’s an honor for me to have the opportunity to donate blood to Ms. Glyn. I’m 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. I’m very grateful to her.” Gabrielle’s words left Jonathan in a daze. Although he had heard from Melissa many times that Gabrielle was a good girl, he didn’t know her personally.

But now, he believed what Melissa said was true. Gabrielle seemed to be very honest and kind- hearted. She wouldn’t exchange kindness for benefits. “I understand, Ms. Jones. But because you saved my wife, I’m indebted to you, and I wish to give you this gift. Please accept it.” Jonathan took out a check. Gabrielle examined the check and realized that the gift was in the eight-figure range. Jonathan was the Walker Group’s CEO for a reason. He was extraordinarily generous. If Gabrielle had ten million, she wouldn’t have to worry about her future. However, she had never thought of accepting such a reward. She didn’t donate her blood for money. “Mr. Walker, I appreciate it, but I can’t accept the money. Even if Ms. Glyn isn’t a family member, I would still give her my blood. I didn’t help her because I expected something in return.” Gabrielle worded her rejection politely.
