Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 564

Chapter 564 That Person Isn't at All Like You

A faint tobacco scent of Gilbert wafted into Kisa's nostrils, distracting her.

Once everyone was seated, Adrien took the lead and raised her glass to Madalyn. "I didn't expect Mrs. Kooper Sr. to come to join us. It is really an honor for me."

"I hope you won't find me too old to join you all." Madalyn smiled and raised her glass to clink with Adrien.

Adrien smiled and shook his head. "Not at all. It is all about having a good time."

Madalyn would usually look furious whenever she saw Kisa, but she smiled nicely in front of outsiders. Even at eighty, there was still a hint of elegance and nobility in how she carried herself. She sized up Adrien and then looked at his face with a frown before letting out a smile. "I'm sorry to ask; have we met before, Mr.

Tanner?"

Adrien was holding his cutlery, and his hand froze for a second. He then lowered the cutlery on his plate and looked straight at Madalyn. "I don’t think so. Why?"

"Oh, nothing. I just think you look familiar as if we have met before."

Gilbert's grip on his glass tightened, and he subconsciously looked at Adrien. It was not just him who felt that Adrien looked familiar, but also his grandmother. 'What is going on?'

"Really?" Adrien took a sip of wine and smiled. "Maybe it is

"Mr. Kooper, aren't you and Ms. Becker going to have a drink?" Adrien suddenly smiled and asked Gilbert, who had been silent. " We are business partners now. It seems inappropriate for you two to act like strangers, right?"

All eyes were on Kisa and Gilbert, who then swirled the wineglass in his hand and let out a half-smile. "You are right. Since we are business partners, we should have a drink."

While speaking, he poured himself a glass of wine. Kisa's glass was full, so she did not need to top it up. As they sat next to each other, making a toast to each other was even more convenient. Gilbert looked at her. His eyes and face were devoid of emotion. "Come on, Ms. Becker, I will drink to you." He then smiled faintly.

Kisa did not feel like drinking to him at all. But in front of everyone, especially Adrien, she still had to hold up her glass. Their glasses gently clinked together softly.

"Aaaaah!"
