Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert)
Chapter 803

Chapter 803 Worried All Night Long

It was Kisa's name that showed up on the screen. Gilbert picked up the phone and answered it with no hesitation.

"Hello, Gilbert?"

When Kisa's voice came into his ears, he suddenly closed his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, all the worry, tension, and fear transformed into unspeakable anger. He gasped lightly, his ehest heaving.

"Gilbert?" Kisa called out again when she did not get a response.

Gilbert clutched his phone and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you?"

"Oh, I had an incident on the road last night, and then Jolina saved me, and then I spent the night at Jolina's place."

"Then why didn't you return my messages last night? Why didn't you answer my phone calls? Did you know last night I was... I was..." Gilbert yelled furiously, and at the end, he put a hand to his forehead, feeling powerless.

Kisa felt Gilbert was angry when he suddenly stopped speaking. So she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I did not mean not to answer your phone, nor did I mean not to return your message. It was just too noisy in the karaoke bar, and I didn't hear the phone ring. My phone just powered off by itself after you called several times," Kisa said, her voice getting softer toward the end of the sentence. She was obviously diffident. Gilbert did not want to say anything more. Perhaps his nerves had been too tense all night. His strength seemed to have left him. He did not want to talk or do anything but just wanted to sleep.

When Kisa did not get Gilbert's response, Kisa called out to him again, "A-Are you angry, Gilbert?"

"Nope." Gilbert suddenly whispered again when she was about to say something. "That is all for now. You take care of yourself."

"Gilbert..."

Kisa wanted to speak again, but Gilbert had hung up.

Gilbert was angry that Kisa did not listen and that she made him worried about her all night long. But more than anything, he was glad she was safe and sound.

Kisa put down her phone in frustration. She thought Gilbert was furious more than ever before. She kneaded her sore shoulder and thought to herself, 'I can't walk alone at night anymore. I never thought Sharon would have dared to knock me out on the street.' She narrowed her eyes coldly at the thought of what had happened last night. 'Sharon doesn't seem to be really afraid if I don't teach her a lesson.' At that moment, Jolina walked in with a glass of orange juice and a couple of sandwiches.

"Ms. Becker, are you feeling better now? Have some breakfast."

Kisa nodded. "Thank you and Peter for last night," she said. Jolina had told her everything that had happened last night when she woke up. So she was incredibly grateful to Jolina and Peter. If they had not appeared in time, she could not imagine what would have happened to her. She was in Jolina's house, a very modest one-room apartment, which was exceptionally clean and tidy, just like Jolina herself. Kisa took a bite of the sandwich and smiled at her. "Are you an actress, too? Which company are you from?"

Jolina shook her head. "I have just graduated from an art school this summer and have not signed up with any company yet. I got this maid role on my own."

Kisa nodded, she did not ask her about her relationship with Peter but just smiled at her. "You are great. If you don't mind, you can sign up with the J & K Film Group."

Jolina's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Sure." Kisa smiled at her, feeling that this girl was quite affable.

After leaving Jolina's place, Kisa went straight back home. At first, she wanted to see Gilbert, but when she called his phone, he did not answer. She did not want to disturb him, thinking he might still be angry. She was stunned when she arrived at her apartment and entered her house.
