Reborn Through Fire novel Chapter 30

"Mr. Kooper is coming. He is coming this way."

Kisa's heart skipped a beat, and she was so frightened that she almost dropped the lunchbox.

'This is obviously the quietest place backstage. Why would Gilbert come here?'

She looked up with a pale face and saw Gilbert walking past her, not glancing askance. He made his way to Sharon, who was not far away.

'What the hell? Why is Sharon here?'

Kisa's dizzy and aching head hurt even more now. She should have known better than to squat here. Good thing Gilbert did not seem to notice her. While secretly celebrating, she suddenly found an extra chicken thigh in her lunchbox. She looked over in surprise and saw Howard's gentle, smiling face.

"You—"

"You're too skinny. You need to eat more meat."

"No, no, no." Kisa snapped back. She quickly chucked the chicken thigh back into his lunchbox.

Howard put it back into her lunchbox and gave Kisa a genuine smile. "Raine, you are really too skinny and fragile. You need to replenish your energy. Otherwise, next time Ariella pushes you, you will stumble again."

As Gilbert was here, Kisa was not in the mood to dwell on the chicken thigh with Howard. When she felt a pair of icy eyes staring at her, she could not help but look in Gilbert's direction. However, she found that he was not looking at her. 'That is strange. Could it be that I'm too nervous and have an illusion?'

"Gilbert, I remember that Kisa also likes this spicy chicken. Why don't we give some to her as well?"

"Hey, that ugly bitch is Ariella's assistant, right? Tsk, she is superb at seducing men."

"Exactly. Every time Ariella pushed her, she would 'coincidentally' fall into Howard's arms. No one could be more scheming than her."

"Absolutely. Just after Ariella threw water at her this morning, she immediately acted pathetic in front of Howard. Look, she is still wearing Howard's coat."

Seeing Gilbert's darkened face, Sharon smirked. But when she spoke, she sounded kind and gentle. "Don't listen to them, Gilbert. Kisa is weak. She— Hey, Gilbert."

Before Sharon could finish her sentence, Gilbert already strode toward Kisa.
