Chapter 35 You‘re Really Into Him

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 hot and 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 begging. Do you know that this pretentious look of yours is really disgusting to the extreme?”

Kisa‘s heart was dead. She clenched her hands, fighting back the stinging pain in her throat. She then grabbed a hot and spicy chicken up from the floor again and shoved it into her mouth, regardless.

When Gilbert saw this, he was even more irritated. He clenched his hands by his side, and after a long while, he suddenly snickered. “I have suddenly changed my mind.“‘. Kisa‘s movements jerked as she suppressed her cough and asked in a hoarse voice, “What do you mean?” Gilbert smirked as he turned around and headed upstairs.

Kisa became desperate and scrambled to her feet to give chase. “Gilbert, what do you mean? Say it clearly.” Just two steps into the chase, Sharon suddenly stopped in front of her. “Congratulations, Kisa, for being back in the Kooper residence.” Sharon‘s smile reeked of sinister and resentment; it seemed to Kisa that Sharon no longer bothered to pretend.

Kisa sneered. “That‘s worth congratulating? How badly do you want to live in the Kooper residence that makes you think this is a merry occasion?”

“You–”

“If you really want to live here, you can go talk to Gilbert. But only if you can make Andrew and Ada like you.”

“Kisa!” Sharon gritted her teeth and glared at her. Those lustrous eyes were like they were filled with poison. Kisa did not bother to talk to her. She went around Sharon to chase Gilbert upstairs. Before this, she did not know Sharon and took her as her best sister, but not anymore.

made her cough violently again. And the few pieces of hot and spicy chicken she had just eaten were now causing havoc inside her, her stomach churning in pain. She fought back the pain. Thinking about the hot and spicy chicken on the floor just now, she was so angry she wanted to cry. ‘We have clearly agreed that he would return Howard‘s role to Howard as soon as I finish eating the hot and spicy chicken on the floor, but now he is backtracking on this. I even gave up my life and dignity for this. How could he play me like that?‘ The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Kisa dragged herself and stumbled toward the man. “What do you mean? Have you changed your mind? Your promise doesn‘t count, isn‘t it?”

“Get lost.” Gilbert sat back in his chair and said coldly, but he did not bother to look at her.

Kisa did not give up. She told herself she would not eat the pieces of hot and spicy chicken and lose her dignity for nothing. She plopped down in front of his desk and gritted her teeth. “You‘re at least a CEO, but you don‘t keep your word.” “So what if I don‘t keep my word?”

“You — ” Kisa choked in exasperation. Gilbert stared at her coldly, the cigarette fire between his fingers flickering with choking smoke, causing Kisa to cough from time to time. He was disgusted with her coughing and hated seeing her put on such a dying face. He took a hard drag on his cigarette and puffed out rings of smoke. “Get the hell out of here,” he growled.

Ignoring her churning stomach and the suffocating feeling in her chest, Kisa mustered her courage and said stubbornly, “I‘m not going out until you give Howard his role back.” “Heh!” Gilbert suddenly laughed. He took a few more puffs of his cigarette and spat the smoke ring toward her.

Looking at her terribly annoyed look, he said coldly, “You care so much about that man. Are you really into him?”
