"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
"G-Gilbert."Kisa scaled the wall with difficulty, barely supported by her feet, with only eight inches of protruding edge of the wall."Are you crazy?" Gilbert yelled, reaching out to grab her.Kisa was scared to death, breaking out in a cold sweat and shivering from the icy wind.Gilbert felt a bit relieved when he finally got hold of her cold hand. Good thing she was so light. He then lifted her in like a tattered doll.Kisa breathed a sigh of relief as soon as her feet landed, and her body fell limply to the floor.Seeing her pale face, Gilbert reached out and closed the window. "At least you are smart enough to know where to hide. But this is the 30th floor; if you make the slightest mistake, you will fall to your death." Gilbert said casually, but deep down inside, he was in trepidation. He always claimed that he wanted this woman to die, but at the critical moment, he still wanted this woman to live. He could not explain these contradictory thoughts."You think I want to
"The way things are going right now, I don't know if I can still get back to Calthon safely. I-If I do unfortunately die here, please give the role back to Howard." If death was inevitable, then she would like to die for something worthwhile.'It is Howard again. How dare she follow me to Athadale for Howard and cause all this unnecessary trouble?' Gilbert's chest heaved violently with anger and a touch of unknown emotion. He paced to the window with his arms akimbo. He then took a deep breath, turned around, and sneered at her. "You really don't give up, do you?""I won't give up begging for you until you give Howard back his role.""Heh!" Gilbert laughed. "Why should I give it back to him? Do I owe him anything?""What does it matter if you grant me this small request when I'm now suffering from an unwarranted disaster because of you? Also, you also said that if I die, you will return his role to him.""Then let's wait until you are dead," Gilbert said, walking over to the bed.
"Trying the same old trick of climbing into my bed again?" The voice that came abruptly startled Kisa, who almost dropped her phone on the floor. She panicked and looked toward the sound and found a flickering spot of fire at the window. Gilbert was not sleeping but smoking in the darkness of the night. Since he was not sleeping, Kisa went straight to turn on the light. As the light came on, she saw his cold and despicable handsome face.He looked like he had God's favor; he not only was rich and powerful but also had a face that made women jealous. It was a pity that his unfeeling expression ruined the good-looking face.Gilbert exhaled a smoke ring and chuckled. "You are really desperate for Howard, eh? Unfortunately, even if you stand in front of me naked, I will not feel a thing. So, save your breath." He had just calmed his anger down earlier, and now this woman came in to piss him off again.Kisa ignored his cynicism and asked calmly, "Do you have an extra quilt?"Gilbert w
"Hah. You're so keen to die just so that Howard would have his role back?"Gilbert sneered while walking toward Kisa.Just as she was about to respond, he spoke again."Let me tell you something: even if you actually die, I still won't give him the role."Hearing this, Kisa gave up on explaining to him. 'He's so awful; he never keeps his words,' she thought.In a fit of rage, Gilbert barged over and pushed her back several steps."If you want to die, go ahead. Just stop giving me any more trouble.""I'm giving you trouble? " Kisa slammed the door angrily. "Ask yourself this: who's the one causing trouble here at Athadale?" she continued shouting."You!" Gilbert retorted."Me?" Kisa asked."If you hadn't followed me to Athadale for Howard, you wouldn't have been spotted by Anthony. I also wouldn't be held back right now for trying to protect you. You're a burden.""Me... A burden?" Kisa was furious. "I wasn't following you! I was spotted by Anthony because of you! What'
