Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 280

Kisa stared in alarm at the mess in the house. The TV, coffee table, couch, and other furniture were all smashed to pieces; clothes, dishes, household items were scattered all over the place. She clenched her hands and asked Lea in anger, "Carolyn and Sharon did this, too, didn't they?"

Lea pursed her lips and said nothing.

Kisa gritted her teeth. "They better still be here. I'm going to beat them to death."

"Kisa..."

Lea called out to her in a predicament. Kisa did not see anyone in the living room, so she checked out the bedroom, which was just as messy, the bedsheet rumpled, as if someone had exercised on it. She saw at the end of the bed an inky blue tie, which looked familiar. As she was about to pick it up and take a closer look, Lea grabbed it and hid it behind her back with a smile. "Don't get mad, Kisa. They are gone. They are long gone, and they are not coming back, really."

"The tie..."

"It belonged to a client of mine. I found it in a bar and brought it back with me, intending to return it to him when I had the chance, but I never got the chance."

Kisa did not give it a second thought. "I don't feel comfortable with you staying here. Why don't you move in with me?"

Lea shook her head quickly. "No, no, no... I can't."

"Why not? If we stay together, we can take care of each other, and Carolyn and Anthony won't dare to take revenge on you so blatantly."

"I-I stay here, and I like staying here."

"Lea..."

"And I'm afraid of people gossiping if I stay at your place for no reason. And most importantly, I would disturb you and Jensen."

Kisa laughed. "I don't stay in the same house with him. Besides, I'm short of an assistant. You know, Jensen is a man, and he can't arrange a lot of things in my life. So Lea, be my assistant."

"Be your assistant?" Lea's eyes clearly brightened for a second, but then she suddenly seemed to remember something and shook her head. "No, no, no. I haven't done this job before. I'm afraid I can't do it well."

"You will. You are so attentive; you can do it well." Kisa took her hand, really wanting her to be her assistant.

Lea still looked hesitant. "Let me think about it, then."

"Okay." Kisa nodded her head and went to look in the bathroom and kitchen again and still did not find anyone. She felt strange because she had heard a loud noise just coming from somewhere. Anyway, Kisa still did not feel comfortable with Lea staying here alone. She was afraid that Carolyn and Sharon might harm her again. Not to mention Anthony, who was such a pervert. She said to Lea, "I can give you time to think about being my assistant, but you have to come with me to my place now. I'm really afraid they will take revenge on you."

"It is really unnecessary."

"If you don't go to my place, then I will stay here with you today. If they come, I can deal with them together with you, instead of leaving you here alone to suffer and I have no peace of mind."

"Kisa..." Lea could not dissuade her, so she went with Kisa to her place.

Just as they left, a man emerged from the closet with a triumphant smile on his evil-looking face.
