Kisa clutched her bag strap, "Why aren't we returning to the Kooper family home?""It's already morning. What happens if we wake grandma and the kids when we return?""But..." Kisa still wanted to say something, but Gilbert had already bent down to carry her.Kisa quickly shrunk back, "Alright, alright. I'll get down the car myself."She pushed Gilbert away and walked down from the car on her own.Gilbert's private residence was tranquil, with no servants. The door opened, and with the light shining in from the yard, the inside of the house was surprisingly not very dark.Kisa fumbled to turn on the lights, but before she could do so, Gilbert suddenly pinned her body between his chest and the wall.Gilbert chuckled and said in a low, husky voice, "After stalling for so long, you can't run off this time, can you?!""W... wait for a bit. Turn on the lights. We... we should shower first.""What's the use of turning on the lights!?" Gilbert smiled dubiously, then his long arms wen
Davian listened to his subordinate's report and hurriedly got up to put on his clothes. Felicity glumly stared at him, "What happened?"Davian ignored her, as if he did not hear her question. In a flash, he got dressed. He picked up his phone and dashed toward the door before remembering Felicity's presence.He promptly said to Felicity with regret, "S...something happened at the company. I'm going over to handle it."Felicity's face fell, and she pulled over the blanket to cover herself and huffed coldly, "Go then. Go, and don't come back!""Okay, then you should get some rest," Davian finished speaking, and closed the door, foolishly presuming that he was being considerate and gentlemanly toward her.Watching the closed door, Felicity furiously threw a cup at it."Davian, you prick. Don't you even dream of ever touching me again in the future! "Kisa woke up at midnight and felt very thirsty. The man next to her was sleeping soundly. Kisa moved away his hand from her waist, an
Gilbert immediately grabbed Kisa's throat and gritted his teeth, growling disappointedly, "Since the start, what have I been to you in your heart?"Kisa was afraid that Gilbert would lose his mind and hurt her in anger. Hence, she tried to explain herself. "You shouldn't misunderstand. Last time, I said my current status and situation are unsuitable for bearing children.""Not unsuitable but unwilling. You're afraid the baby's sudden arrival would destroy your plan of getting close to me, right?"Kisa widened her eyes widely and hurriedly shook her head, "Of course not. What are you blabbering about?"Gilbert was only trying to probe by purposely speaking like that just now. However, Kisa's reaction made his heart heavy and anxious. He forcefully swung Kisa onto the sofa. Gilbert suppressed his anger and said, "You'd better not be lying to me. If not, I won't know what crazy actions I would resort to."Gilbert's voice was calm, as if not having any emotion. Yet Kisa inexplicably f
The car windows were dark. Kisa leaned onto the car's windshield and looked around for a long time. She could not clearly see if there was anyone inside. She tried to pull open the car doors and actually got them opened. She hurriedly gave a thorough sweep of the car interior. No one was in the car, but the car keys were still in the ignition and had not been pulled out yet.Kisa scrunched her brows in suspicion. What she was able to confirm was that Gilbert came back during the last half of the night.'However, how did Gilbert leave silently? Could it be that he was afraid that I would not be able to call a cab, so he purposedly drove the car back to leave it for me?' She thought.Thinking about it now, she immediately shook her head. It would be impossible for Gilbert to treat her so considerably. Not to mention, when Gilbert left last night, the aura of hostility surrounding him made it seem as if he wanted to kill her.However, she still searched high and low around the house,
She walked to the front of the CEO's office as she was familiar with the layout. Kisa looked around the office hall in suspicion. Usually, when she came over, the employees would secretly insult and talk about her behind her back.Why was it so quiet today? All of them were doing their work while hanging their head. The atmosphere seemed unexpectedly eerie.Could it be that Gilbert warned them before and forbade them from insulting Kisa among themselves?Kisa shook her head and did not think more of it. She pushed open the CEO's office door and went in. When she entered, the office immediately erupted into waves of quiet discussion."I heard that our losses this time were really heavy. It's all that Kisa's fault.""I truly don't know what Mr. Kooper was thinking. There are so many women out there who are so much smarter and more beautiful than her. Why does Mr. Kooper always protect her?""Her seduction tactics and sexual charm are too good. Anyways, GK Pictures is going to be ru
"You can't see Mr. Kooper anymore!" Davian said bitterly. Kisa looked at him with a deep gaze. "I can't see him? What do you mean?" She asked. Davian lifted his head irritably as if he did not want to talk to her.Kisa was mad. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well? Say something!""Sigh. Mr. Kooper is on a business trip, and I don't know when he will be back.""A business trip?"'He never mentioned a business trip before. Something urgent must've come up,' she thought. Kisa knew that there was a problem in the company because Gilbert would not have left hurriedly in the middle of the night. Moreover, Davian telling her that she had made a huge mess further confirmed that the problem was related to her.Kisa could not help but panic when she thought about it. "What happened at the company, and what does it have to do with me? Tell me!" She quickly glanced at Davian and said. Davian pursed his lips in anger and did not say a word.Kisa was annoyed. "If you pity him that m
Davian could not help but look at Kisa with resentment when he talked to her. "No matter what we tell Mr. Kooper, he refuses to believe that you would betray him. Everyone says he is a clever and capable man, but he is a complete fool who lies to himself in front of you."Kisa could not utter a single response when she was faced with Davian's condemnation. She was shocked, confused, and angry. Davian stared at her like he was staring at a stranger and said, "At first, I thought you still had feelings for Mr. Kooper. I thought that you still loved him. But this incident has made it clear that you don't. No matter how kind Mr. Kooper treats you, you are still indifferent to his actions. Do you know that during the five years you were so-called 'dead', he went to your grave every day, drunk, and kept shouting your name?"'How could that be true???' Kisa was baffled. 'That man was the one who wanted me dead. How could he possibly show such affection for me during all those years? What in
Gilbert could be extremely affectionate and cold to Kisa, but Kisa did not know which side of him was real. So much so that she never dared to fully believe the affectionate side of him. She stared at the ceiling in a daze for a long time and got up to walk out of the room.By the time she was out of the CEO's office, she had already packed up all her emotions. She could still hear the discussions in the hallway the moment she opened the door, but they abruptly stopped when she walked out. Kisa looked around and felt the resentment in those people's eyes. She was now a villain in GK Pictures, and Shaun was the one to blame.Kisa had a special type of trust in Shaun when she signed the contract because he was Jensen's assistant. She had read the most important part of the agreement, but the document was too thick. So, she just scanned through it. Moreover, Shaun kept urging her to sign it, which caused her to be careless.'Now that I think about it, Shaun tricked me. He must have had
