Lock You In My Heart

Men must not fancy being referred to as beautiful. No matter how gorgeous a man was, he did not want to be called pretty. Her
hasty words must have caused Nathan’s irritation. To save her face, he did not say a word in front of Ms. Glyn. However,
Gabrielle still felt quite uneasy. The thought of it still ran through Gabrielle’s mind even though she had already gone into the
exhibition hall. If Nathan was offended by her words, she was determined to find some time to apologize to him later. “This
jewelry exhibit garnered top-notch pieces from all over the world.
It’s the biggest and most extravagant jewelry exhibit in Southeast Asia this year.” Melissa held Gabrielle’s hand as she gave a
brief background of each of the gems on display. The intimate jewelry exhibit in Antawood sometime ago couldn’t compare to
this luxurious event. It was Gabrielle’s first time to go to a jewelry exhibit as big and as glorious as this. Gabrielle had only ever
seen the jewelry on display at this event in magazines.
This was her first time seeing them in the flesh. She was beyond grateful to Melissa that she had the chance to see these
breathtakingly gorgeous pieces with her own two eyes. “Ms. Glyn, I couldn’t thank you enough. Without your help, I wouldn’t
have been able to see such rare treasures,” Gabrielle said as she looked at Melissa with joyous and thankful eyes. In Gabrielle’s
heart, Melissa was not only her mentor but also her benefactor.
This opportunity was granted to her by Melissa. “Gabrielle, you don’t have to thank me. It’s God’s will. He took you here because
you are insanely talented.” Melissa was humble enough not to take credit. It made her ecstatic that Gabrielle had finally spread
her wings and flew into the horizon. For her, thanking her was unnecessary.
On top of that, it was fate that brought them together in Bangkok. Since the jewelry exhibit was held here, there was no reason
for Melissa not to bring Gabrielle with her. “Ms. Jones, if you train under Ms. Glyn, she will take you to any exhibit you wish to
attend,” Nathan said with a smile. “You’re exaggerating, Nathan. Don’t get Gabrielle’s hopes up,” Melissa interrupted. Her face
was adorned with a gorgeous smile. She did not want to be put on a pedestal. As an expert in the jewelry industry, it was only
normal for her to come across acquaintances in such events.
“Gabrielle, feel free to look around. I’m going to say hi to some friends. Nathan... I will leave Gabrielle in your capable hands.
Take care of her,” Melissa ordered. “Don’t worry, Ms. Glyn. I will look after her. I won’t let anything happen to her,” Nathan replied
as he gazed at Melissa with a ginormous smile on his lips. “Ms. Glyn, don’t worry too much. I can take care of myself. I don’t
want to be a burden to Mr. Sanderson,” Gabrielle explained. She did not want Melissa to waste her time worrying about her. “You
two get along well. Nathan... you are quite experienced in this.
If something confuses Gabrielle, be sure to walk her through it. Now, if you’d please excuse me.” Those were Melissa’s last
words before she left to say hello to her friends. Awkwardness filled the air around them as Gabrielle and Nathan were left alone.

Gabrielle put her best efforts into studying the pieces on display. She took their structure, origin, design, concepts and even their
creators in careful consideration. All her attention was focused on the jewelry. Nathan’s presence was quite distracting. Heg
arnered not only women’s but also men’s attention.
When people turned to look at him, they also couldn’t help but check Gabrielle out. Despite that, it did not bother Nathan. He
alternated his attention towards the jewelry and smiling at the people around him. Sometimes, he would lay his eyes on
Gabrielle. “Mr. Sanderson, is there something wrong with what I’m doing?” Gabrielle wanted to ignore his prodding eyes.
However, his gaze was burning hot that she couldn’t just let it slide. “Among all of the younger people present here, only you
seem to be attentive to the jewelry on display. Since we got here, you never laid your eyes on anything else but the gems.
It’s not a surprise why Ms. Glyn puts you on a pedestal.” Nathan’s face was adorned with a charming smile as he kept one hand
in his pocket. He was breathtakingly handsome. “Mr. Sanderson, this is a jewelry exhibit, isn’t it?” Gabrielle asked. She was not
the kind of person who would lose her composure once she received a compliment. Gabrielle always had to maintain a clear
mind. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to have a successful argument with other people. “Yes, it is.” Nathan had asked a waiter
to bring them two glasses of wine. He handed one to Gabrielle. With utter politeness, Gabrielle took the glass. However, she did
not drink from it. “I’m sorry, Mr. Sanderson. I don’t drink.” “It’s fine. Just keep on talking. You don’t have to drink,”
Nathan replied. “Mr. Sanderson, the reason I came here was to witness the jewelry exhibit. I’m not very keen on other things,”
Gabrielle said, putting emphasis on every word. She wasn’t a fool. Gabrielle knew exactly what Nathan was hinting. A lot of the
younger people who came to these events only wanted to broaden their circles or look for someone to date. Gabrielle, on the
other hand, was not here to find a boyfriend. She was here solely for the jewelry on display. She did not need to look for friends,
nor was it a necessity for her to find a boyfriend.
“Alright. Since you’re so interested in the jewelry, I’m not going to doubt your intentions anymore. If something confuses you, feel
free to ask me. I might be able to help out.” Her words confirmed that she really was just interested in the jewelry. Indeed,
Gabrielle was simple-minded and naïve. A lot of women would take advantage of this opportunity to meet a rich bachelor to
satisfy their own selfish desires. Gabrielle came here specifically for the exhibit. It was no wonder that Melissa thought so highly
of her. A lot of the women that surrounded Nathan had ulterior motives. Seeing Gabrielle so disinterested was new to him. “You
mean I can ask you things about jewelry?”
Gabrielle asked in awe. “Yeah. Do I look like a man who knows nothing about jewelry?” Nathan gazed at the dubious expression
on her face and smiled. “I’m sorry... It’s a misunderstanding. That wasn’t what I meant. I just... I’m just a little surprised. That’s

all.” Gabrielle was a little flustered. Her lack of composure made it impossible for her to explain clearly. “Don’t be so nervous, Ms.
Jones. I don’t blame you. Although I’m not a jewelry designer like you and Ms. Glyn, I have a business in the industry.
Have you heard of YZ Jewelry?” Nathan looked at her with a smile. “Yeah, I’m familiar with it. It’s a huge jewelry agency
worldwide that curates and features jewelry for top brands locally and abroad. They also showcase works of unique designers,”
Gabrielle hastily answered.
