Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 812

Chapter 812 Test Me Gilbert had deleted his call and chat history with Kisa long ago. However, he was worried that Kisa had sent him new messages today.

‘If grandma sees them, my efforts from the past few will go to waste,‘ he thought.

Madalyn’s expression remained unchanged.

Seeing him not accept the phone, Madalyn could not help but laugh, “What’s the matter? You’re angry that your grandmother went through your phone?”

“No,” Gilbert accepted the phone. He smiled and asked, “Why are you suddenly interested in my phone?”

“Well, I went to your room to check on you, and your phone rang. I was worried it would wake you up, so I took it outside.”

Gilbert frowned slightly and felt a little panicked.

‘My phone rang? Who was the call from? Kisa? But judging from grandma’s calm expression, it shouldn’t be Kisa. Otherwise, grandma would’ve quarreled with me,‘ he thought.

Madalyn pulled Gilbert onto the couch before asking the maids to bring out the food.

After Gilbert sat on the couch, he did not check his phone so that he would not raise his grandmother’s suspicion. Instead, he casually shoved it into his pocket.

The maids quickly brought out the food.

There were a few nice–looking desserts and a bowl of soup.

Madalyn looked at Gilbert affectionately and said in a reproachful tone, “You haven’t gotten this tired for a long time. I told you to take care of yourself, but you never listen.”

“I don’t have a choice; too many things have been happening in the company recently. I was busy handling contracts in my office the entire night.”

Gilbert said with a straight face while reaching out to grab the soup bowl.

Madalyn shook her head, “That won’t work. What if you exhaust yourself? This won’t work; you should hire a few more assistants because Davian alone is not enough. Besides, Davian doesn’t handle things efficiently.”

She continued, “Back when he came to GK Pictures for his interview, he was a deadbeat. He was the candidate I least favored; I don’t know what was going on in your head when you chose him.”

Years ago, when Davian was still relatively young, he went to his interview with GK Pictures dressed in shabby–looking clothes. He was stopped by security just as he entered the building.

If Gilbert had not passed by coincidentally and let him in, Davian would not even have gotten through the main entrance, Gilbert smiled, “Davian’s great. He’s reliable. I don’t trust other people.”

Seeing how Gilbert trusted Davian so much, Madalyn could not say anything. Instead, she watched him affectionately as he ate.

When Madalyn saw how Gilbert was almost finished with his meal, a glint appeared in her eyes. She gave him a half–smile, “Aren’t you going to ask who called you earlier on?”

“Probably Davian,” Gilbert answered casually.

Madalyn tugged her lips, “It was Kisa Becker.”

Gilbert’s back stiffened. He was so startled he almost spat out his soup.

Thankfully, he regained his composure quickly and returned to his calm demeanor.

He swallowed the soup in his mouth before asking straight–faced, “Oh? Kisa? Why’d she call me?”

Then, he purposefully let out a sardonic snort, “Well, I haven’t acknowledged her in a while, after all.

She must’ve panicked and wanted to test if I still cared about her.”

After he finished his sentence, he picked up a dessert and ate it with relish.

Madalyn stared at him briefly as if she were looking for clues on his face.

After a while, she finally smiled, “You’re such a narcissist. She didn’t call to test you.”

“Is that so? Then why did she call me? It couldn’t be about work, right? GK Pictures isn’t working with J & K Film Group,” Gilbert said indifferently.

However, Madalyn snorted icily, “Hah. That wench called to curse at you. You didn’t expect that, right?”

Gilbert was startled once more.

Moments later, he feigned contempt and asked, “Really? What did she say?”
