CHAPTER 816
Chapter 816 He Pretended To Not Know Her
Suddenly, a high–pitched shriek reverberated on the scene. Kisa’s heart shivered.
‘Was it Gilbert who came? Why did Gilbert come to Athadale for no reason? He even went to the same hotel as I did. He’s not following me, is he?’ she wondered.
Once Gilbert appeared, most media reporters scattered and flocked toward him. Many of the bystanders also started to crowd toward Gilbert.
Only then did Kisa let out a sigh of relief. She elevated herself slightly and looked toward the entrance. With a single glance, she saw Gilbert surrounded by a crowd.
His straight figure and handsome looks seemed particularly outstanding in the crowd. However, Kisa had clearly locked eyes with him, but Gilbert was still emotionless. The calm gaze even moved directly away from her figure. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Gilbert had long legs, so his strides were huge. In a few steps, he had come over to her. The media reporters also rushed in troops to surround him.
Kisa silently watched him. She did not expect him to not give her even a glance and directly walked past her. Lea also had an odd look on her face.
She quickly got Kisa up and closed in by her ear. She softly complained, ” What’s wrong with Mr. Kooper? Did he not see you? Why did he not acknowledge you at all?”
Kisa rubbed the hand, still stinging from being stepped on, and said to her, “Why would he want to acknowledge me? Am I on good terms with him?”
“Is it not? Mr. Kooper even looked for me the previous night to ask about your whereabouts. His expression then seemed very anxious,” Lea replied.
Kisa’s heart shook. Turns out that during the night she was ambushed by Sharon, Gilbert was searching for her like a maniac.
‘No wonder, no wonder that morning, when she called Gilbert, the man was so angry,‘ Kisa thought.
“Kisa, I think Mr. Kooper still cares about you deeply. It’s just unknown what’s happened today. Why did he treat you so cold suddenly? He saw you fall to the ground and ignored you,” Lea smoothed out the
clothes on her body while speaking in a quiet voice.
Kisa smiled lightly, saying, “That’s just what you think.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Gilbert’s silhouette, walking away. She found that it was hilarious deep down.
‘Gilbert’s acting was actually quite good. Look, he acted like he didn’t know me and acted quite like it seemed so,‘ she thought.
Arriving in the room, Lea hurriedly arranged her luggage properly and then came to look at Kisa’s hand.
“It’s red from being stepped on. There are even some scrapes and cuts. Why don’t I go and buy you some medication?”
“No need. It’s just a small injury,” Kisa chuckled and pulled back her hand.
She looked toward the towering buildings outside and asked Lea, “How many days are we staying here?”
“You have a total of three events to attend to. One is a charity ball that you’ll be participating in tonight. The next event is fashion week. It’s on the day after tomorrow. The last event is a jewelry sponsor event
on the day right after that. Then we will leave the following day, so we will be staying here for a total of 4 days.”
Kisa curled up in the sofa chair by the window. She closed her eyes while listening silently. Her expression seemed slightly exhausted.
Lea gave her a glance and said, “After participating in the event tonight, you can rest properly tomorrow.”
“Mmm,” Kisa nodded her head and spoke, “You must be tired too. You should go back to your room to rest. Don’t run around, okay?”
“Okay. Then, Kisa, I will go and get rest first. After that, I’ll come over to look for you. You should rest for a while too.”
Kisa nodded her head while her eyes did not open at all. After waiting for Lea to go out, Kisa opened her eyes in a flash.
She quickly searched through her phone and pressed Gilbert’s number. She rushed for the plane early in the morning and then sat in a car. After that, accepting the reporter’s interviews. Kisa had only been able to look at her phone up until now.
After the call was sent out, Kisa proceeded to lean onto the sofa chair lazily and wait in silence. Remembering Gilbert’s cold expression when trying to act as if not know her, she felt a slight urge to smile.
Initially, she thought Gilbert would accept her call swiftly, but she did not expect that he would actually keep her waiting until the ringtone finished playing. He still did not pick up the call. She could not help but furrow her brows and call again.
On this side, Gilbert let the phone’s ringtone play non–stop. His face had no reaction at all. His sharp gaze landed nonchalantly on the person before him.
