Lock You In My Heart Chapter 545

Although Nathan said that he didn’t like when others praise him, he had never said that he didn’t like when Gabrielle praised him. Of course, Gabrielle was shocked to hear his words. Obviously, it meant that she was somewhat special to him. However, this wasn’t something that would make her happy. In a serious voice, Gabrielle said, “Mr. Sanderson, this is… I think I should apologize to you because what I said just now was very impolite.” Hearing it, Nathan’s eyes twinkled with mischief as he got another idea. “Since Ms. Jones insists on apologizing, I won’t refuse it anymore. How about you invite me to dinner as an apology?”

Raising her eyebrows, Gabrielle thought, ‘Invite him to dinner?’ In fact, her intention was to apologize him verbally. She didn’t want to have any kind of contact with him in the future. Therefore, she didn’t want to invite him to dinner. Looking at Gabrielle, Nathan said casually, “It seems like Ms. Jones is reluctant to invite me to dinner. Is it inconvenient for you?” Nodding her head, she answered directly, “I’m sorry, but yes.”

“Ms. Jones, you are from Antawood. If we ever meet in Antawood or Ensfield in the future, you can invite me to a meal. Is that too much to ask?” Actually, Nathan was very good at setting traps. After weighing the pros and cons for some time, Gabrielle agreed. “Okay, like Mr. Sanderson said if we ever get a chance to see each other when we got back home, I will invite you to a meal.”

As it was just a meal, Gabrielle was not a stingy person. Besides, she tended to believe that they would never meet again. With a crooked smile, Nathan said, “Well, it’s settled then, Ms. Jones. If we meet again when we got back, you will have to treat me a meal. I will keep that in mind.”

Hearing it, Gabrielle somehow had a feeling that she just fell into his trap. As he wasn’t an ordinary man, it was totally possible for him to meet her in the future. Melissa was glad to see the two young people were talking animatedly. Giving them a smile, she said, “Nathan, Gabrielle, are you guys having a good time?” In fact, the reason why Melissa asked Gabrielle to make acquaintance with Nathan was

because he was also engaged in jewelry business. The YZ Jewelry was a big jewelry company in the world. Therefore, she was sure that Gabrielle could learn something from Nathan.

Gabrielle gave her a genuine smile and said seriously, “Well, Mr. Sanderson is really a good teacher. He has taught me a lot. For that, thank you so much, Mr. Sanderson.” Melissa turned to look at Nathan and said, “I’m relieved to know that Gabrielle can learn something from you. It seems that you have taken good care of her, Nathan.” o With a smile on his face, Nathan said, “Actually, Ms. Jones here is really smart and eager to learn. I didn’t even have to teach her that much. She can understand what I mean very quickly.” “Of course, she can understand you easily because she is really smart.”

Melissa took Gabrielle’s hand happily and said, “Gabrielle, I want to take you to meet some of my old friends. Maybe they can give you some ideas on jewelry design in the future.” Turning to look at Melissa, Gabrielle said softly, “Thank you, Ms. Glyn.” “Well, there is no need to thank me. Are you nervous to meet them?” Chuckling nervously, Gabrielle replied, “A little.” Hearing it, Melissa tried to calm her down by saying, “Don’t be. They are easy to get along with.

Plus, when they know that I have found a talented newcomer in design, they were dying to meet you. So, you don’t have to feel nervous. Just take it easy.” With a determined look on her face, Gabrielle promised, “I will do my best, Ms. Glyn.” As the people that Melissa knew were all masters, Gabrielle had to behave well because she didn’t want to lose Melissa’s

face.

Holding Gabrielle’s hand softly, Melissa muttered, “I believe that you can behave well…”

Before Melissa could finish her words, a loud gunshot cut through the banquet. “Bang!” Immediately, Melissa pulled Gabrielle down to protect her while shouting, “Gabrielle, get down!” Gabrielle was stunned to see that more than a dozen men in black w ho were fully armed were coming downstairs.

They had guns in their hands and bags on their backs. Some of them were shooting while some were trying to smash the glass cabinets where the jewelries were displayed.

As the glass was bulletproof, they had to use some cutting machines to open it. In an instant, the banquet became a mess. Screams of fear and pain could be heard loudly. She didn’t expect that the robbers would dare to rob in such kind of large-scale jewelry exhibition. They were courageous. After all, these jewels were priceless as many of them were the last pieces of works in the whole world. Because of that reason, they chose this hotel where the security system was good.

No one would have expected that someone would dare to rob. Judging by the weapons and tools they had prepared, it was obvious that they had planned it for a long time. The other possibility was that there was a spy so that they dared to rob. Moreover, the exhibition was on the third floor and all of them came down directly from the upstairs, not from the outside. Clearly, these people were hostile and aggressive. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Seeing them, some people tried to run. However, all of them were directly shot to death by them. The crimson blood was quite dazzling. It was Gabrielle’s first time seeing such kind of a scene of murder. It was so horrible that it looked like a bloody slaughter. Who would have thought that a good high-end jewelry exhibition would turn into a bloody slaughter of robbers? Looking at the robbers stuffing all the priceless jewelry into the black bag, Gabrielle felt uneasy. As Westley was downstairs, he must have known by now about what was going on. After all, there was a bug on her brooch. So, he would have known the situation here once he heard the first gunshot which meant he should be upstairs now.

Although Gabrielle hoped that Westley would come to save her, she didn’t want him to take the risk either.

Obviously, these robbers only intended to rob the jewelry, not to kill people. They only killed people who didn’t obey them. As long as they sat obediently, they wouldn’t do anything. Panting, Gabrielle thought

to herself, ‘Should I send a message to Westley?’ At that time, Nathan appeared in front of them as he squatted down and asked, “Ms. Glyn, Ms. Jones, are you two alright?” Since Melissa was quick enough to pull Gabrielle down under the table, they were safe. Gritting her teeth, Melissa said angrily, “We are fine, Nathan. What the hell is going on?

Didn’t they promise before that this jewelry show will be safe? What happened to the security system? Why didn’t the alarm go off when they broke in?” Of course she would be angry. After all, she was heartbroken to witness the robbers taking away so many priceless jewelries. Hearing it, Nathan spoke out his thoughts. “Ms. Glyn, we overestimated the security system of the Royal Hotel and thought highly of their sense of responsibility, but these people can’t do this kind of thing on the spur of the moment. They must have planned it long ago. Plus, there must be a spy who turned off all the alarm system in advance. I heard the faint sound of the helicopter before, but I brush it off, thinking that I misheard it.

Now, it seems that I didn’t hear it wrong. In my opinion, they parked the helicopter on the rooftop and then got down here from it. So, even if there are more police and security guards at the entrance of the hotel, it is useless.” After some time, several men in black broke the window, jumped out of it with the bags on their backs and pulled the rope up to the rooftop. Although there were a lot of policemen and security guards at the entrance of the banquet hall, they couldn’t shoot rashly as all the guests here had extraordinary identities.

At that time, Gabrielle saw Westley, who was looking for her in the crowd. No matter how much she wanted to raise her hand to signal him, she didn’t dare to do so as she was afraid of irritating the robbers. Hoping that they could have a connection with each other, Gabrielle silently prayed, ‘Westley, don’t come in now. Please stay outside the banquet and just wait till they leave.’
