Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533 He Has Also Invited Grandma?

Gilbert had the entertainment paper spread out in front of him. Since he saw Kisa just now, the pages stopped turning and he might not have gone through the news in front of him. Davian really wanted to go to the spa. If Gilbert was not going, he, as an assistant, would be awkward to go alone. Having not gotten an answer from Gilbert for a long time, Davian shrugged and said, “It is only getting colder and colder from now on. Going to a spa is good for your health.”

Gilbert leaned back in the chair, looking out the window in a daze. “You may go if you want to.”

‘What is he talking about? Mr. Tanner is inviting him. How can I, a mere assistant, go alone? ‘Davian said, “By the way, Mr. Tanner has also invited Mrs. Kooper Sr.”

Gilbert looked at him with a frown. “He has also invited Grandma?”

“Yeah. Mrs. Kooper Sr. told me about it this morning, and she is planning to bring Emma, your last blind date, with her.”

Gilbert pursed his lips, not looking the least bit happy.

Davian glanced at him and said warily, “Maybe Mrs. Kooper loves crowds. In fact, at her age-”

Gilbert’s cell phone rang before Davian could finish his sentence. It was Mrs. Kooper Sr. calling.

“Come back early for dinner tonight.”

“I’m working late tonight. Enjoy your dinner.”

“Humph! I have asked Davian, there is rarely anything left to do in the company recently, so don’t use working late as an excuse.”

The telephone conversation had been put on the phone speaker, so when Davian heard what Mrs. Kooper Sr. said, his hands on the steering wheel slipped, causing the car to jerk to one side.

Gilbert shot a glance at Davian while saying into the phone, “Alright,” before hanging up. Davian quickly explained, “I didn’t betray you. Mrs. Kooper Sr. asked me if there are many things to do at the office lately, so I had to tell her the truth. Besides, when Miss Thompson came to the Kooper residence, you were at the office. When she went to the office, you were hanging out. Your actions are too obvious, and Mrs. Kooper Sr. knows you are avoiding Miss Thompson and is angry with you. If you are not interested in Miss Thompson, you should make it clear to her.”

“And you know I didn’t make it clear to her?” Gilbert sneered.

“Then why is Miss Thompson still…” Davian’s voice was getting softer and softer.

“Turn around and go back to the Kooper residence.”

At the Kooper residence, the car braking sound outside made Mrs. Kooper Sr. come out to meet Gilbert. Emma was standing coyly beside her and stared cautiously at Gilbert.

“Grandma.” Gilbert greeted as he walked over to Mrs. Kooper Sr.

Mrs. Kooper Sr. nodded with an avuncular look on her face. “Are you done with your business?”

“It has been free lately, nothing much to do.”

“Then you…” Realizing that Emma was beside her, Mrs. Kooper Sr. pursed her lips and asked no more questions.

But Gilbert had no intention of stopping. He uttered in a tone like he usually did, “I have to stay in the office because I am avoiding someone.”

Anyone with a good sense could tell what this meant. Emma’s face changed slightly, and she looked at Gilbert, wrung her fingers, and asked him in a whisper, “You don’t want to see me, do you?”

Gilbert smiled at her casually. “I thought I had made it very clear to you after dinner that day.”

Emma bit her lip, a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Kooper Sr. hurriedly smacked Gilbert on the arm. “What are you talking about? Let’s get inside.” She took Emma’s arm affectionately. “Don’t take Gilbert’s words to heart. He always says things off the top of his head. But when he finds out how good you are, he will like you.”

Gilbert snorted and strode into the house. When he saw who was in the house, his already not–so–good mood immediately took a sharp nosedive.
