In front of him was the assistant that Madam Kooper Sr. had gotten for him. His name was James Porter. Madam Kooper Sr. exclaimed that his job was demanding and knew he was on a business trip at Athadale this time, so she purposefully let James come along to take care of him.She said it was to take care of him, but Gilbert knew clearly in his mind that Madalyn was having James monitor him to confirm whether he and Kisa had genuinely broken up. Madalyn was adamant about separating Kisa from him.James was creeped out from the stare of Gilbert's gaze. He respectfully stood before Gilbert and spoke carefully to him, "Mr. Kooper, your phone has been ringing for a while. You don't want to listen to it for a bit?""There are numerous harassment calls these days. No need to care.""Oh..." James nodded and still felt uncomfortable. He did not dare to stand in front of Gilbert, but neither did he dare to sit down. He could only stiffen his body while standing there.Gilbert got up to sit
"Weren't you angry? I couldn't finish my sentence that early morning before you hung up my call. Then I sent a message to you, yet you still didn't reply. You even purposedly let grandma pick it up when I gave you a call?" Her voice held a little resentment.Gilbert explained himself in an unusually good temperament, "I fell asleep that day. I didn't purposely not pick up your calls. Besides, I didn't hang up your call. After all, I was mad because I cared too much for you."Kisa felt her heart sweeten as the smile on her face did not stop. Turns out the feeling of being pampered and sweet-talked by him felt very nice.She finally stopped teasing him and chuckled, " Alright, I understand. You don't need to explain."Pausing for a bit, Kisa looked at the gleaming sunshine out her windows before asking hesitantly, "You... Do you want to come over to my place, or maybe we meet up somewhere...?""I'm afraid. It's not possible," Kisa's sentence could not finish as Gilbert immediately a
Even though spring had arrived, the night was still a little cold. Kisa wore a purple tube-top grown. A small white jacket covered the outside. She had light makeup on, which made her seem elegant and noble.The number of people attending the charity ball was numerous, and Kisa was the ambassador of this charity. Once she showed up, she became the focus of the event. Regarding the major media outlets that took pictures with the odd and inquisitive stares from the audience, Kisa could already face them easily.She slowly walked into the banquet hall, her eyes glancing at everyone with composure, without even a hint of dodging them. Some of them smiled and greeted her, and she, too, greeted back politely.Hidden among the crowds was Gilbert, his dark eyes closely locked onto her body. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that Kisa was initially capable of being so dazzling and attractive too.Maybe, she initially was so outstanding and so radiant. However, due to the event in the p
"Do you think everyone's thoughts are as dirty as yours?" Gilbert lowered his gaze and sneered. "I don't care what other people think. I'm only curious about what you were thinking when you were staring at that woman," Anthony said with a playful smile on his face. Gilbert looked down and continued to drink, not paying any attention to Anthony.Things were different now. In the past, Gilbert did not take any action against this man because he was scared that he would hurt Kisa. Now, Kisa has obviously become stronger and more powerful. So, Gilbert was no longer afraid of Anthony, no matter how evil he was.Anthony snorted and looked at Kisa from top to bottom. "Sigh, I didn't expect this woman to become so feminine after only a few days of not seeing each other," he said with a sinister and playful tone. "Look at that slender waist and beautiful ankles. She must be a treat in bed."Gilbert remained silent and did not look up. He was filtering out Anthony's nasty remarks. Although he
Anthony stood in front of Kisa and Lea. When Lea saw that it was him, she lowered her head subconsciously. Kisa glanced at her strangely and turned to Anthony, "What's this? Why are you blocking my path, Mr. Mullen?"Coincidentally, the CEOs started to gather around them."Yeah, why are you standing in her way?""Even if you want to talk to Ms. Becker, this is not the way. You'd frighten her."Anthony snorted coldly and looked at the middle-aged men contemptuously as he said, "Want to be with a star? That depends on whether you have the assets to do so. There are many rich men in this world, but not many are attractive and have a good figure. Look at you all with your fat heads and big bellies. Don't you think that you're the ones who are scaring her?"Anthony's harsh words made each of the CEOs' faces turn red. Kisa wanted to laugh, but she held back."Keep yourself in check, Mullen. Do you think we're afraid just because you're from a powerful family?""Yeah. You're the most u
Kisa ignored Anthony and knelt down to help Lea up.Anthony glanced at Kisa contemptuously. He then changed his expression to become sad as he pointed at Kisa and said to the crowd, "This woman was using her beauty against me. She kept winking at me, but when I came over and asked for a dance, she arrogantly rejected my invitation. How could she play with my feelings like that? How could she hint me to come over but refuse to dance with me? Don't you guys think that she's out of line?""It's not like that," Lea voiced out, seeming like she had something else to say. However, she immediately shut her mouth after Anthony glared at her fiercely.The crowd started to burst into voices of discussion as journalists took pictures of Kisa and Anthony. Kisa tried her best to remain calm in that situation and looked at Anthony with no apparent expression on her face. "Mr. Mullen, what kind of nonsense are you spewing? With your status, I would feel honored if you invited me to dance. But the
Gilbert stepped back and sat opposite Kisa. "Am I that scary?" He asked when he saw the terrified expression on her face.Kisa patted her chest and said angrily, "No matter how handsome that face of yours is, it's still going to be scary when you're so close up in my face. Plus, all I saw when I opened my eyes was a huge face in front of me. Don't tell me that's not scary."The handsome guy was suddenly called a big-faced monster. Gilbert was speechless. Kisa took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat back on the sofa. She then picked up her phone on the side table and saw that it was already 2:00 a.m. She looked at the man in front of her and asked, "Didn't you sleep?""I slept during the day, and now I can't fall asleep." As Gilbert said that, he gave Kisa a flirtatious smile. "Besides, I said I'd come to see you."Kisa did not see the flirtatious look on his face. She lowered her head and scrolled her phone, pretending to be unconcerned. Gilbert stared at her without blinki
Gilbert looked down at her flat stomach and grinned. "Mm? Are you hungry?""I didn't eat anything at the ball just now." Kisa looked away, a little embarrassed; her stomach was growling loudly. Rumble, rumble.Gilbert smiled and pulled her up as he said, "Come on. I'll take you out for some food.""Right now?" Kisa looked outside. "It's so late; is anything open at this hour of the night?""We can go look," Gilbert replied."But... I'm scared of the person that your grandma sent...""There's no need to be afraid. That person probably thinks I'm still sleeping in my room." Gilbert smiled and proceeded to put on his hat and mask. "I'll wait for you downstairs. Go get ready and come down after you're done, okay?" Kisa nodded, wanting to grab some supper.Kisa had brought several sets of clothes on this trip. She picked out a hoodie and put it on. She then tied her hair into two braids, put on a mask, and pulled the hood of her sweatshirt onto her head. After that, Kisa looked into
