Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 43

As Kisa dodged in fear, a deep, familiar voice suddenly sounded, causing her heart to shudder. The voice sounded like Gilbert's. She hurriedly looked in the voice's direction and saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the dark corner. 'He is really in the room.'

Not only Kisa but almost everyone else in the room was wide-eyed to see Gilbert. Anthony was an exception. Gilbert was sitting silently in the shadows, so these people did not even notice his presence.

Seeing Gilbert come out, Anthony broke into a smile. He grabbed Kisa's waist and deliberately brought her into his arms, causing her to crash into his wall of muscles, almost knocking her out. She frowned and looked up as Anthony stared at Gilbert provocatively.

The way Anthony looked at Gilbert puzzled Kisa. She somehow felt that Anthony was using her to get back at Gilbert. But she doubted that. She did not think she was worthy of being used as a tool to get back at Gilbert.

Just then, Gilbert had come over. She saw his frosty, knife-like eyes and instantly felt wronged because he looked as if he was blaming her for causing trouble.

Anthony smirked at Gilbert and lazily rested his feet on the coffee table. "Since you came, why did you stay in that corner? If people saw this, they would think that I slighted my guest."

"It is your home turf today, so it doesn't matter where I sit," Gilbert said, but his eyes were on Kisa, who was uneasy with Anthony's arms around her and Gilbert's eyes on her.

She took the opportunity to give up her seat to Gilbert. "Mr. Kooper, please take a seat here. An ugly nobody like me shouldn't be here in your way. I'd leave."
