Gilbert let out a derisive laugh and continued smoking without saying a word. The whole office was filled with a thick cloud of smoke.Kisa opened the window and walked over to his desk. He squinted his eyes and looked at her with a hint of mockery. Ignoring his icy demeanor and taunts, Kisa placed a thermos in front of him. "Here's soup and some side dishes I cooked especially for you. Eat it while it's still warm."There was also some takeout food on the table, which looked like it had not been touched and had gone cold. Kisa knew the man either did not eat or ate cold food. It would be strange if he did not have stomach problems. She had even bought some stomach medicine on her way to the office.She placed the medicine on the table and said to him with concern, "You can keep this box of medicine in your drawer. If your stomach hurts, you can take it anytime."Gilbert continued to look at her with a mocking expression. The cigarette between his fingers had just been lit and had

Kisa pursed her lips.'What a load of nonsense to be busy with! Davian has already said that the company has been quiet lately. Obviously, he just doesn't want to sleep with me.'But she supposed it was kind of him to let her use the lounge and even invite her up."Well then, I'll go to sleep first. You should rest early too, don't stay up too late," Kisa said before walking toward the neatly arranged lounge.The room was spotless with white sheets that were neatly folded at the foot of the bed. Kisa touched the bedding, and it was so thin that it felt like she was lying on an air-conditioned blanket. She took off her outer clothes and lay down, quickly covering herself with the sheets. But even with the heater on full blast, the open window made the room freezing cold. Kisa curled up, hoping Gilbert would hurry and come to warm her up.After tossing and turning for what felt like hours, she finally called out to Gilbert at the door, "Gilbert, aren't you going to sleep?""No, I'm

Gilbert fell silent again, but it was clear that he was not pushing her away or trying to move away from her. Kisa snuggled into his embrace, feeling warm and safe, and soon drifted off to sleep.But just as she was about to enter dreamland, she heard a muffled voice from above her head. "Even if you try to pretend, I won't be fooled again."'Not again!' Kisa sighed silently, knowing that any explanation she could offer would be futile. She just murmured a soft "Mmm" and tried to ignore him, drifting off into a deep slumber.But suddenly, she felt his lips on hers, harsh and punishing, almost as if he were seeking revenge. Kisa was annoyed and turned over, muttering, "Stop it, I'm sleepy."Then she heard his deep and repressed whisper in her ear. "If you want to kill me, just do it. I'm not afraid anymore, because... if I die, I'll make sure you come with me. With you by my side, nothing else matters."His voice was both tender and low, as if he were confessing his love and his re

Gilbert looked at the pentagram without a flicker of emotion, his expression revealing a hint of apathy and disdain. Davian did not know what he meant and just asked, "Mr. Kooper, do you want to see it? I can open it for you."Gilbert remained silent, only taking out a cigarette and lighting it, his chilling gaze fixed on the pentagram. Davian felt uneasy, thinking that Gilbert did not want to see the thing, and said, "If you don't want to see it, I'll just throw it away. If it was an urgent matter, she'd surely call you instead of leaving a note.""Give it to me."Just as he was about to throw the pentagram into the trash can, Gilbert suddenly let out a low, soft hum. Davian was startled and quickly handed the pentagram to him.Gilbert looked at the pentagram, with a sneer on his lips. With his slender fingers, he quickly opened the pentagram, revealing the elegant handwriting that caught his eye.[It's getting cold. Remember to wear more clothes. Come back to the Kooper residenc

As Kisa reached for the tie on Gilbert's sleeping robe, he instantly grabbed her delicate wrist with an iron grip. Perplexed, Kisa looked up and met his cold, sneering gaze. "Isn't this what you wanted?" she asked, confused."I do want it, but I don't like coercion. Your pathetic attempt at forcing it makes me sick," Gilbert retorted.Kisa's body tensed up, a sharp pain stabbing at her heart. She bit her lip and remained silent, fearing that speaking up would cause her emotions to spill over.Gilbert broke away from her grasp and strode toward the window, throwing it open and lighting a cigarette with a sharp inhale. He seemed to be releasing some pent-up frustration through his smoking.Meanwhile, Kisa buried herself under the covers, fighting against her swirling thoughts. 'Once Adrien's affairs are settled, he'll understand my true intentions.'After smoking three cigarettes at the window, Gilbert finally returned to bed. Perhaps because of the wind, the smell of cigarette smok
