An icy voice of mockery came from overhead."You really can't stop pretending, can you? With such superb acting skills, you should have become an actress instead of just working as an assistant. What a waste of talent."Kisa clenched her fists, trying desperately to keep herself awake. She stood up with difficulty from his arms and beamed at him. "Yeah, it really is a waste of my talent. How about you sign me up under GK?"He found Kisa's pale smile glaring. He found her acting so good that it looked genuine despite knowing it was fake. Had he not already known her malevolent intention, he would have bought into her pretense.Seeing the man's eyes become colder and more disgusted, Kisa fought back the discomfort in her body and smirked. "That's strange. How did you happen to be here? Could it be that you have been guarding me outside the door all night?" She knew that this man could not have guarded her. She said so just to troll him.Gilbert could hear her sarcasm. "Guard you? In
Kisa stopped in her tracks.Gilbert narrowed his eyes and stared at her from behind."He's the one who made you sign that contract, isn't he?" He could not think of anyone else, other than Jensen, who could be so capable.Kisa slowly turned around and looked at him expressionlessly. "Jensen and I have not been in contact for a long time. He didn't make me sign the contract. As for who it was, why should I tell you?" Actually, even Kisa had no idea about the identity of that mysterious person who made her sign the contract. But even if she knew the person, she would not tell Gilbert.After all, that mysterious person was the benefactor who saved her life, while Gilbert was the enemy who attempted to kill her. There was no reason for her to tell her enemy the information of her benefactor.She looked at Gilbert's darkened face and sneered. "Speaking of which, the contract is between Ariella and me. Why are you checking on it?""If I don't check it out, how can I prevent those uns
"Mr. Kooper is coming. He is coming this way."Kisa's heart skipped a beat, and she was so frightened that she almost dropped the lunchbox.'This is obviously the quietest place backstage. Why would Gilbert come here?'She looked up with a pale face and saw Gilbert walking past her, not glancing askance. He made his way to Sharon, who was not far away.'What the hell? Why is Sharon here?'Kisa's dizzy and aching head hurt even more now. She should have known better than to squat here. Good thing Gilbert did not seem to notice her. While secretly celebrating, she suddenly found an extra chicken thigh in her lunchbox. She looked over in surprise and saw Howard's gentle, smiling face."You—""You're too skinny. You need to eat more meat.""No, no, no." Kisa snapped back. She quickly chucked the chicken thigh back into his lunchbox.Howard put it back into her lunchbox and gave Kisa a genuine smile. "Raine, you are really too skinny and fragile. You need to replenish your energy.
"You okay?"Kisa did not dare move a muscle, waiting for Howard to blow the dirt out of her eyes. At this moment, she felt the searing eyes around her. She could not help but give Howard a push. "It is all right. If you can't get it out, forget it.""Don't move. It will be over soon," Howard said, reaching down and gently touching her eyelid. "You see, that is what is stuck to your eye. No wonder you just had a red eye."Kisa felt embarrassed. Her eyes reddened just now because she had a lump in her throat when she recalled the past. But he did have a lint stuck to his finger. So Kisa smiled politely and thanked him. As she was backing away, she was shocked to see Gilbert standing in front of her with a grave face. After secretly calming herself down, she continued to eat the chicken thigh in her lunchbox with her head lowered, pretending not to see him. She thought he would not find trouble with her in public. Indeed, the man said nothing. He just called the director over."Mr. Ko
"Davian, drive."He spelled out the words as she stared at Kisa's angry, stubborn, and pale face.Davian was dilemmatic. "But Miss Becker is still in the way."Gilbert sneered. "Drive, and I will take the blame if anything happens.""But—""One more word of nonsense from you, and you will be out of the job."Davian instantly shut up and glanced at Kisa in a predicament, then closed his eyes and stepped on the gas pedal with gritted teeth. 'This couple really wants to kill each other when they argue. Mrs. Kooper, this is an order from Mr. Kooper. Please don't blame me,' Davian thought to himself. The moment the car lunged forward, he could not help but open his eyes and find Kisa still blocking the front of the car. He screamed in terror as the car was about to hit Kisa. But in the nick of time, someone sprang out and pulled Kisa to the side as the car whizzed. Davian sighed a big sigh of relief. By the time he came out of shock, he had been sweating profusely."Mr. Kooper, M-M
Sharon greeted her warmly and pulled her toward the dining table.Two boxes of spicy chicken were placed on the table. Looking at the packaging, Kisa recognized it was the same spicy chicken they used to eat when they were young. She subconsciously looked at Gilbert, only to see him staring at her with icy eyes and a smirk.Kisa pulled her hand back. "You guys eat. I'm not hungry." She could not eat the spicy chicken because she had a terrible stomach now, not to mention that it was Sharon who bought it, and she felt sick of her.Sharon suddenly looked disappointed and said, "I remember your favorite food is this. I even went to stand in line for half an hour after work just to buy it. Are you really not going to eat some?""Sorry, I don't like chicken right now.""Heh." Gilbert sneered. "I saw you enjoy a chicken thigh for lunch so much this noon. Apparently, food from your own sister is not as good as that of a random man." Gilbert's tone of voice was sarcastic to the core.Kis
"Kisa!" Gilbert gritted his teeth and snorted, almost wanting to slap her in the face."I didn't use any strength. She fell down by herself," Kisa said expressionlessly."You think I'm blind?"'You are already blind,' Kisa said in her mind. Even if she was physically weak, she would not show it or back down.Gilbert stared at her unruly face and wished he could strangle her.Just then, Sharon put her hand to her bruised waist and said softly, "Gilbert, don't blame Kisa. It was my fault. She obviously doesn't like this spicy chicken now. It was my fault that I forced it on her."Sharon's words reminded him of the way Kisa ate the chicken thigh at noon, and he was filled with fury. 'Does she like Howard so much that even the chicken thigh from that man smells extra good?' He took a deep breath, fought back the anger, and sneered at Kisa. "Don't you want me to give that role back to Howard?"Kisa's eyes lit up, and she looked at him expectantly."With a condition," he said evilly.
BANG!Just as Kisa took a bite, an ear-splitting sound was heard as Gilbert furiously swept the dishes off the table.He stood in front of the table, looking at her coldly. "You're a real lowlife, Kisa."Kisa ignored him as she fought back the discomfort in her stomach and continued to eat the spicy chicken on the floor. She thought as long as she finished all the ones left on the floor, she could help Howard get that role back. With this in mind, she ate more and more rapidly, and because of that, she choked. She propped herself up on the floor again and coughed violently. Her hoarse, unpleasant coughing sound was reverberating in the living room. It sounded extraordinarily harsh to the ears.Sharon hurriedly said pretentiously, "Gilbert, Kisa is coughing so hard. Could she be really sick? Forget it, Gilbert. Don't let her eat this.""Heh!" Gilbert sneered as he looked down at the woman who was prostrate and coughing violently on the floor. "You should at least pretend to be begg
