Gilbert squinted and clenched his teacup.
Anthony unceremoniously entered the bedroom as if a visitor, checking the cabinet and going around to the bathroom.
Gilbert was relieved when Anthony did not find the woman. He lowered his eyes and laughed sarcastically. "You are interesting, Anthony. Those who don't know would think that you are here looking for your cheating girlfriend."
Anthony had egg on his face when he did not find Kisa. He chuckled. "I just want to see if you really did not have any call girl here."
Gilbert was sipping his tea casually, a stark contrast to Anthony's impatience. He carefully gazed at Gilbert's expression, but he could see the slightest flaw on his calm face. He frowned. 'Could it be that he wasn't the person who saved the ugly woman?'
As Anthony was thinking, Gilbert suddenly looked at him. "It is getting late now. I have a meeting tomorrow. If you don't want to leave, you can stay for the night. It is just that I don't have any women here. So I'm afraid that you won't be used to sleeping alone at night."
"No, no, no. You are my guest. How can I, as the host, stay in one place with you," Anthony said, clapped his hands, and laughed. "Okay. Since you are tired, I will leave now. To make up for my poor hospitality tonight, I will treat you to dinner next time."
Gilbert said nothing, just smiling gently, and Anthony took another glance under the bed before leaving. Just as he left, Davian came in.
