But the two men stopped about six feet away from her at the elevator. Gilbert did not even look at her as if she were a stranger with no connection to him. As the elevator door opened, Gilbert and Davian walked in without looking the other way.Kisa smirked with a stiff expression. 'Gilbert is superb at pretending not to know me.' She lowered her eyes and sat down again slowly by holding the wall.Not far from the door of the private room, an assistant whispered to Anthony, "Gilbert really doesn't seem to know that woman. He didn't show any reaction when he saw that woman. So she might not be his ex-wife, but just a bit like her.""Then could you explain his sudden promotion of Ariella as the second female lead, and that woman was Ariella's assistant?""Coincidence, I guess."Anthony stared thoughtfully at the woman huddled in a ball at the end of the hallway, his sharp eyes filled with curiosity and scheme. Out of the clubhouse, Davian asked Gilbert, "Are you really going to le
"I feel like someone is following us?""What?" Ariella was so scared that she hugged herself tightly and looked back nervously. "Are you sure? Are you seeing it wrongly?"Kisa shook her head. She could not tell the feeling, only felt a whoosh of wind behind her, accompanied by a not-so-obvious sound of footsteps. Perhaps it was all in her head, but her gut feeling told her that Anthony deliberately did not send a car for her and Ariella. Seeing that there was a street with street lights not far ahead, she pulled Ariella and said, "Let's hurry."Ariella nodded and picked up her pace."Aaaah!" Ariella screamed all of a sudden as she fell to the ground.Kisa hurriedly helped her up. "What's wrong?""It is all your fault for asking me to walk back to the hotel. Look what happens now." In annoyance, Ariella kicked off her high heels and kneaded her painful foot as she complained in exasperation.Kisa silently helped her up. As she bent down, she suddenly saw a few people approaching
"Aaaaah!"The man behind her screamed miserably and let go of her. Only then did she find the voice familiar."Mrs. Kooper, it is me. Why did you bite me?"As the voice said, she looked back at it in fear, and it turned out that it was Davian."W-Why did you tie me up?" Kisa looked at him in puzzlement. Through the streetlight, she saw that Davian's hand was bleeding. Now she felt embarrassed and guilty. She was too scared just now, so she overreacted a bit.Davian shook his bitten hand and said with a wronged look on his face, "You were just being followed. Hadn't I tied you up, they would have abducted you by now.""How did you know I was being followed?" Kisa looked at him in surprise. 'Could he have been following her?'Davian opened his mouth and was about to say something when Gilbert suddenly peeked out of the car window and hummed nonchalantly. "What is the point of all that nonsense? Get in the car."Once she saw Gilbert was there, Kisa stopped saying anything. Davian
Gilbert sneered and said, "You think they're targeting Ariella?""Heh, if not Ariella, could it be me?" Kisa was amused. She was just Ariella's assistant, an ugly one at that. There was no reason those people would go to all that trouble to catch her."You can call Ariella now and see if she is safe."Kisa stared at him suspiciously. She hesitated. 'What if Ariella is hiding at the moment? Wouldn't I accidentally reveal her location by calling?'As if reading her mind, Gilbert said, "Don't worry. If Ariella gets caught for this, I will save her.""You said it. You'd better keep your word."Gilbert was pissed and gave her a sidelong glance. 'Why doesn't this woman trust me? Do I look like a man who doesn't keep his word?'Kisa was really worried about Ariella's safety. With Gilbert's assurance, she dialed Ariella's number, and it was quickly answered."Who are you? I'm telling you, that ugly woman has nothing to do with me, so you can kill her if you want. I don't have the money
"Where are your shoes?" Gilbert asked in a faint voice."I gave them to Ariella," Kisa replied casually.He let out a mocking smile. 'When did this vicious woman become so kind-hearted?' Gilbert looked out the window, finding that those feet of hers were an eyesore.Sometime later, the car finally slowed to a stop. Kisa glanced out the window. In front of her eyes was a magnificent, luxurious hotel.Gilbert had already gotten out of the car first. She hesitated for a long while but still followed and got out of the car at last. As much as she resented staying in the same hotel with Gilbert, there was no other option at the moment, as her documents were not with her, and she could not stay in any hotel."Okay, Mr. Kooper. I will go right away." Davian hung up the phone helplessly. He turned to look at Kisa. "Mrs. Kooper, you should go in. Mr. Kooper is staying on the 30th floor, Room 3008.""Aren't you going in?""I have to go buy medicine."When Kisa heard that, she remembered
Kisa's body was already sore, and the way he threw it on the floor hurt her even more. She grimaced.Gilbert glanced at her and said, "Go and take a shower. You stink of smoke and alcohol." It annoyed him that she still smelled of Anthony's perfume.Kisa was amused at the sound of it. "I haven't been in the room as long as you have, have I?"Gilbert sat languidly on the couch and looked at her with frosty eyes. "Two choices: either go take a shower or get the hell out of here."She took a deep breath. 'Fine. I will leave. It is not like I want to see him.' Kisa struggled to get up and out the door but hesitated at the sight of the long, dark hallway. She figured that if she went out there alone, Anthony would catch her soon enough. His only reason for catching her was to provoke Gilbert, who did not care if she lived or died, and she would probably lose her life. 'Forget about it. What is the point of getting angry with Gilbert? Better safe than sorry. He has always been so mean to
The door was pulled open, and Anthony appeared outside the door with a wicked smile on his face. "You left so early just now. I wonder if you're unhappy because I have not shown you enough hospitality." He leaned against the door with his hands in his pockets, but his eyes looked past Gilbert into the room.Gilbert did not expose him, just calmly turning his body sideways. "You came over here so late. You're not here to apologize to me, are you?""Of course. After all, it is not like you would come here every day. So, as the host, I have got to receive you with warm hospitality." While speaking, Anthony walked in uninvited. The word 'host' also clearly declared that this was his territory.Gilbert sneered. When he saw Anthony's eyes drifting around, he smiled and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"Anthony's eyes turned to the couch, and he sat down. He then lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and said casually, "No. I just want to see if you have hired any call girls. If not, I c
Gilbert squinted and clenched his teacup.Anthony unceremoniously entered the bedroom as if a visitor, checking the cabinet and going around to the bathroom.Gilbert was relieved when Anthony did not find the woman. He lowered his eyes and laughed sarcastically. "You are interesting, Anthony. Those who don't know would think that you are here looking for your cheating girlfriend."Anthony had egg on his face when he did not find Kisa. He chuckled. "I just want to see if you really did not have any call girl here." Gilbert was sipping his tea casually, a stark contrast to Anthony's impatience. He carefully gazed at Gilbert's expression, but he could see not the slightest flaw on his calm face. He frowned. 'Could it be that he wasn't the person who saved the ugly woman?'As Anthony was thinking, Gilbert suddenly looked at him. "It is getting late now. I have a meeting tomorrow. If you don't want to leave, you can stay for the night. It is just that I don't have any women here. So I
