Reborn Through Fire
Chapter 394 No One is Left Behind âRoy, since there are no more scenes for you, can you do me a favor?â Kisa had no choice but to ask Roy, as she had gone through her contact list and still could not find someone who she could trust to pick up th e children.
Roy was nice and helpful. He smiled and said, âSure. Whatever you need, just ask.â
âMy friend has left me with three children to look after, and they are at school waiting for me to pick them up. But I
still have a few scenes to shoot, so I wonder if you could help pick them up for me and bring them to my place?â
âSure. Which school is it?â Roy agreed at once.
Kisa took out her phone. When she was about to send him the name and address of the school, Gilbert suddenly called. She hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call.
âWhat is it?â The manâs tone was indolent and cold, unpleasant to hear.
Kisa took a breath and replied, âNothing.â
âNothing? Then why did you call me twice in a row? Just tell me what it is, and donât play hard to get here.â Gilbert grunted and fiddled with t he rubber stamp on his desk. From what he knew about this woman, she would never have called him for nothing, let alone twice in a row.
Kisa choked in exasperation, and then she tried to speak calmly. âIt is nothing, really. I just wanted you to pick up the children.â
Gilbert frowned, his tone of voice getting even colder with a note of resentment. âYou still havenât picked them up at this hour?â
Kisa let out a sneer upon hearing the resentment in his words. âIf I could get away, I wouldnât have asked you to pick them up.
âI Gilbert was already on his feet, putting on his coat as he walked out the door. âOkay.
I will go get them now.â
âNo need.â Kisa had not expected him to do that, and he was bellicose. âI have already asked my colleague to pick them up, so you can go on about your business,â she said flatly.
Gilbert frowned. âHow could you just find any Tom, Dick and Harry to pick up the children? Is it because they are not your children that y ou couldnât care less?â
Kisa laughed in exasperation. âI couldnât care less? Arenât you the one who couldnât care less when you leave your children with me? You know, with our past feuds, I could have hurt them at any time.â
âYouâ¦â
âBut donât worry. Roy is trustworthy, or at least I trust him. I see nothing wrong with asking him to pick up the children for me.â
âNo.â When he heard how much she trusted Roy, jealousy rose within him. Gilbert fought back his anger and said in a notâto-beâquestioned tone of voice, âWhen do my children need to be picked up by someone else? Iâm going to pick them up now.â
Kisa said nothing more. After all, Andrew and Ada were his children. It was best if he could pick them up in person and not bother others. The reason she just said what she had said was that she was angry and wanted to irk him.
She thought of Blake and said, âIt is three children, including Blake. No one should be left behind, understand?â
âGot it,â Gilbert answered in a bitter voice and asked no more questions.
When he walked out of the CEOâs office, Davian hurriedly came up to him. âMr. Kooper, are you still going to spend the night at the office today?â
