Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)
Chapter 45 Pretending Not To Know Me

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 lounge, 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 leave Mrs. Kooper here like this?"

"She could come here, and she definitely can go back herself." Gilbert pulled open the car door and got in.

Davian was worried. "But Anthony is a dangerous person. I'm afraid that he knows her identity and will repeat it just like five years ago."

A few years ago, Anthony's father had taken a fancy to Sara, and Anthony sent someone to abduct Sara and send her to his father. When Gilbert found out about it, he rescued Sara but offended the father and son of The Mullen Group. As Anthony was a vindictive and ruthless person, he had been targeting Gilbert since then.

Five years ago, he found out that Gilbert was married to Kisa and then tried to get at Kisa. Gilbert hated Kisa, but he still protected her so well that she did not even know that Anthony was a danger. Gilbert leaned back in his chair and kneaded his brow, not saying a word for a long time. Davian saw his tired look and could not help but feel sorry. "In fact, you didn't have to come today if not because Mr. Kooper and Ariella came here-"

"Just drive."

"What about Mrs.-"

"She will not die." Gilbert closed his eyes and said casually. "If Anthony had wanted to get at her, he would have done it just now and wouldn't have kicked her out."

Davian listened and pursed his lips, not saying anything again but just starting the car.

The people in the private lounge were coming out in tandem. Many of them were drunk, but when they walked past Kisa, they did not forget to quench their disgust at her.

Kisa did not care. She just stretched her neck and kept looking inside the room, wondering why Ariella had not come out after so long.

After a long while, everyone in the room seemed to have left, and she then pulled the door open. She cautiously took a peek inside and saw Ariella sitting on the sofa in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking. "Ariella, what's wrong with you?"

Just as she went over, Ariella kicked at her. "You ugly bitch. How dare you steal my limelight?"

Kisa had no words for it. 'It was not like I did it on purpose. So why blame me? Not to mention that it was something celebratory. My back was still hurt.' She helped Ariella up and said, "Let's go back and rest. You have to attend an event tomorrow. You have to keep in good shape."

"Right on. Hurry up. Go back and sleep."

As luxurious as The Regina Clubhouse was, there was not a single cab passed by the entrance. Kisa helped Ariella wait in front of the clubhouse for a long time without getting a taxi. Ariella could not help but start cursing, "Mr. Mullen sent someone to bring us here but didn't send someone to send us back. How can we go back like this? He is a real jerk!'

Kisa was amused. Earlier, Ariella had tried to get on with Anthony, but now it seemed it was just her wishful thinking.

"The hotel we stay at is not far. Why don't we walk back following the GSP navigation?"

"What? Are you telling me to walk back? Don't you know who I am?"

"Then you wait here. I will go looking for a taxi."

Ariella looked around; there was no one around, and she was a little scared. "Forget it. Let's walk back."

Kisa helped her walk as they followed the navigation. As they walked into a dark alley, Kisa could not help but frown and stop to look back. When Ariella saw her grave expression, she was scared to death. "W What's wrong?"
