Lock You In My Heart By B. MADRON Chapter 333


    Chapter 333 Who Is Your Type


    Lolita nudged Gabrielle with her elbow and winked at her. Lolita then nced at Jax eagerly, unable to


    stop herself from gossiping about their rtionship.


    Lolita darted her eyes between the two, and she silently urged Gabrielle to introduce the guy to her.


    Lolita bit the inside of her cheek. She thought there must be a story between them.


    Gabrielle sensed Lolita’s restlessness, and she knew she had to exin. With a sigh, Gabrielle turned


    to Jax and pointed to Lolita.


    “Jax, this is my close friend at work – Lolita Anderson. Lolita, this is my schoolmate – Jax Nelson. I took


    her to the University Town for a walk,” Gabrielle exined to Jax.


    Gabrielle didn’t even introduce him as a friend. Lolita noticed the way he looked at Gabrielle and


    realized he was definitely more than just her schoolmate.


    At least, he looked like a lovesick schoolboy around Gabrielle.


    Jax didn’t mind, though. The fact that Gabrielle even bothered introducing him to her friend already


    meant something He was fairly easy to please, and meeting Gabrielle’s colleague was more than


    enough


    “Nice to meet you, Jax I’m Gabrielle’s colleague and good friend. Since you’re also her friend, please


    sit down and getfortable. Gabrielle, is it okay for Jax to join us?” Lolita turned to Gabrielle and


    Taised her brow. At the same time, Jax also looked at Gabrielle, waiting for her answer before sitting


    down.


    Since Lolita already put her on the spot, there was no way for Gabrielle to refuse without sounding


    rude.


    With a tight smile, she nodded and agreed to let Jax join them.


    “Jax, have a seat.” Gabrielle pointed to the seat in front of her. She was doing the bare minimum here.


    “Okay.” Jax happily sat down and grinned at Gabrielle. Lolita, with her eagle eye, noted that particr


    exchange and bit


    back a smile.


    Jax had always liked Gabrielle. She had been his crush for years. So now, he felt like a kid in a toy


    store. His heart was bursting with happiness.


    “Gabrielle. we haven’t seen each other in a long time,” Jax said excitedly. There was a glint in his eyes,


    as if every little thing she did impressed him.


    “Yes, I’ve been rather busy.” Gabrielle Teplied coldly. She looked around the ce – at everything and


    everyone except Jax


    Understanding dawned on Lolita, and she looked down. It was clear that Gabrielle didn’t like Jax. Her


    sharp tone and cold demeanor said as much. Gabrielle exuded warmth to her, but she might as well


    have been made of ice around Jax.


    Lolita pursed her lips in embarrassment. If she only knew, she wouldn’t have invited him to sit down


    and join them. She almost pped her palm on her forehead.


    “Jax, have you eaten your lunch?” Lolita was trying so hard to lessen the chilly


    atinosphere. Gabrielle Surely wasn’t going to bother entertaining Jax, so it was up to her to salvage this


    ridiculous situation she caused.


    Her curiosity got the better of her, and Lolita ad?nitted it was all her fault. It was getting embarrassing


    for all of them. “Yes, I just finished eating. I came here the moment I found out Gabrielle


    was headed to this dining hall. I only wanted to see her, Miss Anderson…”


    “Just call me Lolita. You don’t have to be so formal. After all, we’re friends now.” Lolita smiled


    awkwardly and gave him a look of encouragement. The silence hung heavy in the air, and it was


    getting unbearable.


    Gabrielle didn’t treat Jax as her friend. To her, he was no more than another schoolmate.


    Lolita tried thinking of topics to break the ice, but her mind just drew a nk. Gabrielle was looking


    away, probably wishing she was anywhere else but here.


    Lolita frowned. She asked a man Gabrielle didn’t like to sit with them. Now her friend was in a bad


    mood.


    Lolita couldn’t me her. She knew how Gabrielle telt. Luckily, Jax finally gave her a little help


    “You girls go on with your meal. The food here is very delicious. Normally. there are always lines. Good


    thing you arrived early because there aren’t a lot of people right now.’ Jax smiled warmly at Lolita


    Lolita decided she liked Jax, particrly luis hospitality. Slie could tell lie wasn’t an annoying ssmate


    and was probably always helpful.


    Well at least, that was how he made people feel. He just seemed like someone who was easy to get


    along with.


    “Yes, I totally agree. The dishes are scrumptious. Of course, Gabrielle only ever takes me to ces


    that serve the best food.” Lolita smiled at Gabrielle.


    “Alorith University is famous for two things – the food and the beautiful scenery. So, which part of the


    campus have you visited today?” Jax asked with great interest. Gabrielle was still ignoring him, and he


    turned his full attention to Lolita.


    He wanted to get closer to Gabrielle. One way to do that was to endear himself to her friends


    Back when they were still at school, Gabrielle didn’t have close friends. So it became impossible for


    Jax to win over her friends simply because she had none.


    “Gabrielle took me to visit the south part of the campus. We didn’t have enough time, so we went


    straight here to have lunch.” Lolita found it easy to talk to Jax, as if they were old friends.

    “Then, after lunch…”


    “We have to go back to the studio to work this afternoon. I’ll bring Lolita back to visit another day,”


    Gabrielle interrupted Jax, already guessing what he was going to say next. Lolita could only stare at


    them.


    Jax nned to walk around the campus with the two of them after they finished their lunch. He was


    going to give them a tour.


    He must have been too obvious because Gabrielle saw right through him. She was already refusing


    before he even had the


    chance to ask. “Oh, that’s fine. Work is very important, Besides, Atorith University will always be here.


    You cane back any time.” Jax forced a smile, but he couldn’t ignore his disappointment. He was


    looking forward to spending more time with Gabrielle.


    Each time he tried to do something to please her, Gabrielle always shot him down. He was already


    used to it by now. Although she refused him at every turn, it didn’t affect his feelings towards her. 1


    It was him who fell head over heels in love with Gabrielle. It wasn’t like he could force her to love him


    back. “Well, I’ll definitelye back next time. The University Town is so beautiful and huge. I’m sure I


    can’t finish walking around it in just a day.” Lolita smiled in an attempt to ease the tension. Gabrielle


    was radiating so much standoffish attitude.


    “I’ve studied here for four years, and I haven’t even finished walking around the Town yet.” Jax


    chuckled. He was undeniably good at small talk.


    Gabrielle and Lolita finally finished their


    lunch and were about to leave.


    “Jax, we’re heading back to work now.” Gabrielle stood up. She was already walking to the door without


    even a goodbye.


    “Gabrielle. I’ll walk you out.” Jax hurried to leave with them.


    “No thanks. Jax. We can do it ourselves.” Gabrielle turned back to speak to him. Jax was clearly taken


    aback, but he recovered quickly.


    “Okay. Be careful. See you next time.” Jax gave them a small wave. He didn’t insist anymore. He knew


    Gabrielle was always cold and distant. It wasn’t anything new.


    “Bye, Jax. See you next time.”


    Lolita waved back. She didn’t hate Jax, and she actually enjoyed hispany.


    A few minutester, Gabrielle and Lolita walked out of the gate. They went straight to themercial


    street not far away from the University.


    “Gabrielle, listen. I know that Jax likes you.” Lolita looked at Gabrielle with a smile. She hooked her arm


    through


    Gabrielle’s and pulled her friend closer.


    “Yes. He confessed his love to me, but I refused. He’s not my type,” Gabrielle answered frankly. She


    was looking straight ahead.


    “Wow. So let me get this straight. He confessed and was rejected, but he still wanted to get close to


    you. That guy seriously likes you. I can’t me him, though. You’re beautiful and talented. I bet you’re


    the most beautiful girl in the design department. Scratch that, you were probably the most beautiful girl


    in school. Jax has good taste.” Lolita beamed andughed softly. She didn’t know why, but this little


    fact brought her joy.


    She always enjoyed hearing thetest gossip about young men and women, especially her friends.


    If it weren’t for Gabrielle’s frown, Lolita would have tried to get more stories about Jax from her.


    “What? Of course not. I was a nobody at school. Trust me on this.” Gabrielle shook her head and


    continued walking. She still looked unhappy over the whole business with Jax.


    She remembered a bubble tea shop just a few blocks away. Their bubble tea and brewed coffee both


    tasted good. She and Sloane visited the shop often before.


    “I don’t believe you. Someone who looks like you will surely be the department belle. By the way,


    Gabrielle, you don’t like Jax even if he’s handsome and has manners. What’s your type, anyway?”


    Lolita turned to Gabrielle, a


    She was curious about the kind of man Gabrielle fancied. She must have such a high standard.


    As it turned out, Gabrielle was attracted to a man who wasn’t so far away from them at the moment.
