Chapter 1551
Upon seeing her frozen in place, Gilbert's eyes widened as he grasped the situation.
Gripping her arm, he asked with urgency in his voice, "You don't think I'm involved with her again, do you?"
"No," Kisa replied, her gaze fixated on the food.
"I just can't eat here."
A spark of intrigue flashed across Gilbert's face as he scanned their surroundings.
"Where would you like to eat, then?"
It was quite a rare occurrence for Kisa to express a preference.His heart swelled with excitement, and he carefully covered the food, his eyes never leaving her.
"I want to eat in the employee cafeteria," Kisa said, her lips pressed together.
Gilbert's eyebrow arched in surprise, and he chuckled.
"What made you suddenly want to eat there? I thought you usually despised crowded places?"
As he spoke, he stood up, balancing the food container in one hand and guiding her with the other as they made their way outside.Kisa remained silent; her eyes cast downward.
In reality, the gossip she had overheard from the employees had left her feeling vulnerable.
To reclaim her dignity, she wanted to use this opportunity to assert her significance in this man's life.However, she could not bring herself to confess this to him.
Gilbert studied her and began to grasp the unspoken truth.
His eyes softened, and his hold on her hand grew firmer.He was genuinely touched by her display of devotion.It was a clear indication that she still cared deeply for him and feared losing him to someone else.
GK was immense, and its employee cafeteria was no exception.
At the peak of lunchtime, the bustling space was filled to the brim.
Kisa deliberately chose a prominent spot, asserting her presence.
