Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 48

Gilbert sneered and said, "You think they're targeting Ariella?"

"Heh, if not Ariella, could it be me?" Kisa was amused. She was just Ariella's assistant, an ugly one at that. There was no reason those people would go to all that trouble to catch her.

"You can call Ariella now and see if she is safe."

Kisa stared at him suspiciously. She hesitated. 'What if Ariella is hiding at the moment? Wouldn't I accidentally reveal her location by calling?'

As if reading her mind, Gilbert said, "Don't worry. If Ariella gets caught for this, I will save her."

"You said it. You'd better keep your word."

Gilbert was pissed and gave her a sidelong glance. 'Why doesn't this woman trust me? Do I look like a man who doesn't keep his word?'

Kisa was really worried about Ariella's safety. With Gilbert's assurance, she dialed Ariella's number, and it was quickly answered.

"Who are you? I'm telling you, that ugly woman has nothing to do with me, so you can kill her if you want. I don't have the money to pay for her, anyway."

Kisa heard that and could not help but roll her eyes. Does Ariella think those guys have caught me and are using me to demand a ransom? Tsk, she should not be an actress; she should be a screenwriter or something.'

"Ariella, it's me. Are you okay?" Kisa said, exasperated.

Ariella seemed relieved. "They didn't get you, did they?"
