Kisa was caught off guard for a moment and was pushed to the ground by Gilbert. He looked at her and saw that there were tears in her eyes. The corner of her lips curled upwards due to self-mockery. "I see. You've started to detest me in just a few days. I guess I was being too cheap. I knew you didn't like me, but I still tried to get you back through sex.""It's not like that..." Gilbert stared at Kisa helplessly. For a moment, he was angry and did not know how to calmly talk to her about it anymore.'This woman has really changed these past few days; her words had become rather weird. She is always trying to figure out all kinds of malicious conjectures about me.' he thought."I'll go back to the Kooper residence tonight so you can get some rest," he sighed softly and said in a low voice to the woman who was still sitting on the ground. He could feel the awkward tension between them. He was scared that they would start to argue more and more if they stayed together in the same ro
Kisa thought that Gilbert had gotten mad and left. She was worrying about how to coax him, but it turned out that he was still reluctant to part with this game of love. She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.The next day, Kisa went to the set early in the morning. When she woke up, she sent Gilbert a good morning textHowever, the man did not reply to her message even after she got onto the set.'I don't know if he's mad at me or if he's just ignoring me on purpose. Has he lost interest in me? Has he lost patience with me?' Kisa did not think much about it. Since Gilbert did not directly leave the vicinity of her apartment last night, it showed that he still wanted to continue this relationship with her."Someone here thinks that just because she is the wife of GK Pictures's CEO, she can be absent from work, causing the filming of our show to be postponed again and again. She has nothing to be afraid of as the CEO's wife. However, our hard work cannot be overlooked."
"What's wrong?" Jolina asked after seeing the serious expression on Kisa's face.Kisa looked around and made sure that there was no one around. "I was sad about what happened with Jensen that day, so I forgot to tell you, do not tell anyone that we're going to Hillsby."Although Jolina did not understand why Kisa was telling her this, she nodded heavily and did not ask any more questions. "Don't worry, Kisa. I won't tell a soul. But..." Jolina frowned. "I'm scared that Peter might.""I don't think he would. He doesn't seem like the type to spread the word around." Peter made a good impression on Kisa because of the incident in Hillsby. Moreover, he had volunteered to donate his blood to Jensen.After work was over in the evening, Kisa picked up her phone and looked at it. Gilbert still did not text her back, nor did he call her. She pursed her lips and smiled as she dialed a number.At the office of GK Pictures's CEO, Davian had sorted out several important documents and placed th
'What's Ma'am going to do? She sounds mysterious on the phone.'Davian glanced at Gilbert's serious look when he returned to CEO's office. He felt a little bad for asking to leave early.Davian finally dawdled to the desk.Gilbert said to him without raising his head, "Well, carry on with the remaining report.""Huh? Actually, there's nothing important. It's just that the CEO of Webb Group wants to meet you in person to talk about the collaboration.""Webb Group?" Gilbert looked up at him. "Is that Peter's family business?""Yes, but there's no rush. Mr. Webb said you could meet him anytime. However, the head of the Mullen family in Athadale is about to celebrate his birthday, and he invited you. You can join it if you have the time. But, he also invited many actresses, including... Ma'am."Gilbert raised his eyebrows and flatly said, "Alright, I got it. Both matters aren't in a hurry. You can check the schedule later. Let's go there if there's free time.""Okay, Mr. Kooper."
Getting out of the car with a takeout in one hand, Kisa happened to bump into Davian, with an abnormally red face at a glance. She asked, "Why is your face so red, Davian?"Davian was depressed. He was so embarrassed and ashamed that Gilbert's discerning eyes could even see through Davian's thoughts, specifically his affection for Mia.Davian slapped his cheeks and glumly said, "It's so embarrassing. I was scolded by Mr. Kooper.""Pfft!" Kisa snickered, trying to suppress her laughter. She then asked Davian, "Why did he scold you? Is it because you requested an earlier leave?""Yes, and it's all your fault!" Davian glanced at her snappishly.Kisa shook her head and said, "Look at how ungrateful you sound right now. You should appreciate my trying to let you take an early leave of absence just so you can spend some quality time with your girlfriend. If at all, you should blame Mr. Kooper for being unreasonable. He introduced a girl to you yet did not let you take leave to enjoy som
"You haven't had dinner yet, right? I brought you some food," said Kisa while ignoring Gilbert's calm expression, putting the food directly in front of him.Gilbert was a little tired after a day's work. He put down his pen, pinched his brows, and asked her, "Why are you here?""I came to visit you," Kisa leaned against the edge of the table and looked at him with a smile as if she had completely forgotten about their quarrel yesterday. She even opened the packing and served those dishes to him tenderly.Gilbert could not keep his face straight while facing her smiling face and flattery. He looked at the steaming food in front of him and asked her, "Have you eaten?""I haven't. I'll lose my appetite eating alone. I'd rather want to have dinner with you."Gilbert was happy with Kisa's response, but the worry and uneasiness in his heart could never dissipate. He picked up a bowl of food and said, "Don't eat here. There are too many documents on the table. Let's eat at the coffee tab
Kisa screamed as she kept retreating. However, the blast of water was so huge that it covered her entire body with water instantly.A series of hasty footsteps were heard before Gilbert soon appeared at the door.When he saw the scene in the bathroom, a tinge of anger and speechlessness flashed across his face, "Kisa, you..." Hurriedly taking off his shirt as he spoke, Gilbert then wound the broken faucet with a swift motion.Kisa wiped the water off her face and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean it. I only twisted it lightly, but the faucet already fell off. I don't know what's going on. I...""Enough. There's a new faucet in the cabinet. Go and look for it. The tools should be there too," replied Gilbert."You even know how to fix this?" Kisa was a little surprised at Gilbert. No matter how she looks at him, he doesn't look like the kind of person to be able to fix things.Gilbert glanced at Kisa angrily, "I know how to fix lightbulbs too. Now hurry up and stop talking nonsen
Kisa was drenched. Her clothes clung to her body, making her feel uncomfortable. She crouched in front of the trash can, then lifted her clothes and wrung them. She carefully moved the few dishes on the desk to the coffee table after getting her clothes dry.Gilbert leaned on the back of the couch and kept his eyes closed. He did not look at her or say a word.Kisa said softly to him after she finished moving the dishes, "Gilbert, it's time to eat."The man did not respond for a long time.Kisa thought he was asleep.Unexpectedly, Gilbert suddenly said flatly, "You can have it. I'm not hungry." There was a trace of fatigue in his voice and also an indifference or anger, which was hard to tell.Kisa pursed her lips and silently sat on the chair beside her. She was drenched, making it hard to sit on the couch.The CEO's office was quiet, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.Gilbert frowned. He could not help but open his eyes to see the woman sitting quietly opposite hi
