Sara laughed sarcastically.

"Well, I guess I didn't give you enough credit.But do you honestly think that Gilbert's love for you guarantees a happily ever after?"

With a tinge of jealousy in her eyes, she scoffed coldly.

"You truly believe he will forget his parents' tragic end? Don't kid yourself.You're both living a lie.Sooner or later, your problems will resurface.You will forever be his enemy, and your peaceful life together is just a fantasy."

She lowered her voice, ensuring only Kisa could hear.

Whenever it was brought up, she felt overwhelming despair and sorrow.She could not change this brutal reality, but in Sara's presence, she hid her heartache.

Remaining composed, even wearing a faint smile, she retorted, "So what? Even if we can't be together in peace, you won't stand a chance."

Sara's eyes narrowed malevolently.

"You think I care? If his love is out of reach, I'll take something else."

Kisa frowned, puzzled by Sara's cryptic remark.

As Sara smirked bitterly, her eyes revealed jealousy, bitterness, and cunning.

Kisa's thoughts raced, remembering Sara's flirtation with Shaun.

‘Could Sara be working at GK not only to fuel rumors of rekindling her romance with Gilbert but also to snatch his fortune?' Just then, Gilbert approached with a tray of food.

Seeing Sara, his brow furrowed but he held his tongue.

Bypassing the table corner, he sat next to Kisa.

Although Sara insisted that she did not care about Gilbert's love, his action left her seething with anger.

Faking innocence, she asked, "Gilbert, am I intruding?" She continued.

"Honestly, I didn't plan on joining you, but Kisa asked me to sit here."

Upon hearing Sara, Gilbert shot a concerned glance at Kisa, his brow slightly furrowed.

Kisa offered him a comforting smile.

"The more people, the merrier."

Gilbert sighed, "The more people, the merrier, huh?"

He tousled Kisa's hair helplessly before pushing the tray of food toward her.

"This is the staff meal, and the menu varies daily.Today's main dishes are BBQ ribs and Osso Buco.Give them a try." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Considerately, he handed her a set of cutlery.Sara was utterly ignored, her face growing increasingly bitter.

Nevertheless, the scornful looks aimed at Sara hinted at the subject of the gossip.

After finishing her meal, Kisa wanted to leave, but Gilbert had other plans.He whisked her into the CEO's office without explanation.

Gently, he eased her onto the couch, his towering frame hovering seductively above her.

Kisa's cheeks burned with embarrassment, and she quickly looked away.

"We were so close last night, and now you're treating me like a stranger?"

Flustered by his teasing, Kisa's face flushed even deeper.She stammered.

"So, you're saying you'll let me touch you at home?"
