Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322 Holding Her Up In the Women’s

Restroom

She stared at Gilbert with annoyance, and Gilbert only gave her an icy smile. She gritted her teeth and still did not read the messages, but just waited in silence for the response from the investors across the room. But Gilbert seemed to be addicted to playing with her and sent her several messages in a row. Her phone kept vibrating. She took a deep breath and looked over at him beside with cold eyes. “What the hell are you up to?”

“Wouldn’t you know it if you took a look?” Gilbert said, and shot her a few more messages in quick succession.

Kisa was exasperated and clicked on the messages, only to find that the dozen messages were all about the same thing – asking her to go to the lavatory. ‘Heh, why is he asking me to go to the restroom? What does he want to do with me in private? I’m not going.‘ She put the phone on mute and put it away, acting as if nothing had happened.

The investors were serious businessmen. They took out pens to write on paper, as if they were calculating their profits and comparing which company was more profitable to work with.

the investors had not yet come up with results after about 20 minutes. Kisa had had enough of eating and drinking,

and since she had too much drink, plus after the shooting, she came here without having time to run to the toilet, her bladder was full and the urge to relieve herself became unstoppable. Kisa glanced at the investors and found that they were still calculating and discussing, and they all looked very serious. Without bothering them, Kisa said to Jensen, “Please excuse me for a moment.” With that, he got up and rushed outside, forgetting the contents of those messages. It was only when she got outside the restroom that the text message came to her mind. But she could not care less and rushed into the restroom.

When she got back out, she was relieved to notice that there was no one around; the man did not follow her out. She turned on the tap to wash her hands and was wiping them with a tissue when she suddenly caught a glimpse of someone familiar out of the corner of her eye. She was startled. Just as she turned around, the person pressed against her and pushed her hard against the sink.

“W–What are you doing? This is the women’s lavatory,” she asked. She could not believe that Gilbert, as the CEO of GK Pictures, could be so shameless to follow her into the women’s restroom. He looked grave, as if he wanted to eat her alive. “What? Is it because I gave up all the profits to steal your deal? If you aren’t happy with that, you can give up your profits, too. Unfortunately, you can’t. So, who is to blame?”

“You think I care about this deal?” Gilbert stared at her,

gritting his teeth. “If it were someone else, I wouldn’t mind giving him this deal. But it is you who becomes my rival. I have to compete with you.”

“What is wrong with you? Why do you have to fight with me?” She knew Gilbert had been disgusted with her, but she could not take that he was mixing his personal grudges against her with business, which was totally irrational. Kisa suppressed her anger and said, “I don’t need your concession, and we compete fair and square. So, why are you holding me up here?”

“I’m asking you: have you fulfilled the promise you made to Andrew and Ada yesterday?“
