Chapter 824 How’d You Know It Was Me?
Gilbert looked down at her flat stomach and grinned. “Mm? Are you hungry?”
“I didn’t eat anything at the ball just now.” Kisa looked away, a little embarrassed; her stomach was growling loudly. Rumble, rumble.
Gilbert smiled and pulled her up as he said, “Come on. I’ll take you out for some food.”
“Right now?” Kisa looked outside. “It’s so late; is anything open at this hour of the night?”
“We can go look,” Gilbert replied.
“But… I’m scared of the person that your grandma sent…”
“There’s no need to be afraid. That person probably thinks I’m still sleeping in my room.” Gilbert smiled and proceeded to put on his hat and mask. “I’ll wait for you downstairs. Go get ready and come down after you’re done, okay?” Kisa nodded, wanting to grab some supper.
Kisa had brought several sets of clothes on this trip. She picked out a hoodie and put it on. She then tied her hair into two braids, put on a mask, and pulled the hood of her sweatshirt onto her head. After that, Kisa looked into the mirror. The only thing visible from her look was her eyes; it was impossible for others to tell who she was.
The night air was a little chilly, but it was not cold. Kisa put one of her hands into the pocket of her hoodie while she held her phone in her other hand, looking around at the entrance. She did not know where Gilbert was hiding, waiting for her. She looked around for a minute or so but still did not see the man.
Just as she was about to call him, a taxi appeared in front of her. Kisa froze for a moment, bent over, and looked into the car. “What are you looking at? Come in,” the man in the backseat of the taxi chuckled. Kisa recognized it as Gilbert’s voice.
She quickly got into the vehicle.
“How’d you know it was me?”
She had stared at the mirror for a long time before she came downstairs. No one could have recognized her fully covered look, especially since it was dark out.
