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.
