Chapter 1456
Reborn Through Fire
Kisa turned to him and spoke seriously, âDonât worry. Gilbert and I are fine. Iâm just working on something big right now, and once it is done, Iâll clear up the misunderstanding between us.â
âWhat something big?â Davian asked, puzzled.
Kisa smiled at him. âNothing much. Just remember that I wonât hurt him again.â
Davian did not believe her. âYouâre always so heartless, like Mr. Kooper said. Youâre cold and ruthless and can never be tamed.â
Kisaâs face darkened. âYouâre the one who canât be tamed.â
Davian chuckled. âIâm not the one who said it, Mr. Kooper did.â
Kisa snorted and continued eating.
After finishing the meal, she waited for Gilbert in the lounge for two hours. When he still had not returned, she left directly.
Leaving the GK building, she drove to Miaâs place. When she was waiting for Gilbert earlier, she came up with a plan that could both save GK and deceive Adrien. Whether the plan would work or not depended on whether Mia truly considered her a friend.
Mia was not at the company, but in the villa that she had bought for Jensen. The quiet and elegant villa was only occupied by the two of them.
Since they had talked on the phone before she came, Mia was already waiting for her in the living room and had prepared some tea.
Mia looked her up and down and smiled casually. âThe other day, I saw your father trying to run you over, and it was all thanks to Gilbertâs selflessness that you didnât get hurt. Are you more touched and in love with that man now?â
âIâm here to talk about something important today,â Kisa said, sitting across from her with a serious expression.
Mia pushed the tea toward her with a smile. âWhat I said just now was important too.â
Knowing that Mia could be playful at times, Kisa did not bother with her and took out the copied confidential file.
âThis is a confidential document from GK.â
Miaâs smiling face froze in an instant as she looked at the document in Kisaâs hand âWhat do you mean?â
Kisa stared into her eyes. âI want Risen Enterprise to merge with GK.â
Mia stood up in shock. âAre you crazy?â
But Kisa remained calm in comparison Mia looked at her with a confused and disdainful expression, as if she did not understand why Kisa would want to go after a man who loved her with his life âDidnât you say last time that Jensenâs accident had nothing to do with him? You even acted like you loved him before, but now you want to stab him in the back? Kisa, even the most heartless. woman couldnât compare to you. Your ability to turn your back on someone is lightning fast.â
Watching Mia defend Gilbert, Kisa felt a little relieved. She knew Mia was someone who despised evil.
She smiled at Mia and said, âCan you help me merge Risen Enterprise with GK?â
But Mia did not buy it and asked, âAre you sick? Did you burn your brain recently?â
Kisa chuckled and shook her head. âWell⦠I guess you could say Iâm asking you for a favor.â
Mia was taken aback and furrowed her brows as she looked at her.
Meanwhile, in the CEOâs office at GK, Gilbert returned looking tired and worn out, like he had not slept all night. Davian quickly brought him a cup of coffee, and Gilbert absent-mindedly tugged at his tie while looking toward the lounge.
âWhere is she?â
Davian hesitated for a moment before realizing that Gilbert was asking about his wife.
âMrs. Kooper has already left.â
Gilbertâs eyes dimmed imperceptibly. Then, Davian remembered something and scrambled to pull a pentagram made of paper from Gilbertâs desk.
âOh, and by the way, Mrs. Kooper left you a message.â
