Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 1550

"Can you believe it? Miss Mitchell's been in there for over an hour.What on earth could they be doing?"

"Your guess is as good as mine.But remember, Miss Mitchell was Mr.Kooper's first love.Talk about a blast from the past."

"No kidding.She was his moon and stars, the one who drove him wild.What do you think they're up to, all alone in there for so long? Wink, wink."

A few gossipy employees snickered and shot glances her way, making sure she caught every word.

Kisa held her head high, ignoring them as she marched forward.

Just as she reached the CEO's office door, someone blocked her path.

"Excuse me, ma'am.Mr.Kooper is currently tied up.Please wait a moment."

Kisa replied coolly, 'Then please inform him that I'm here."

The assistant appeared uneasy.

"Mr.Kooper doesn't like to be disturbed when he is busy.It's best if you wait for a while."

From behind her, the snide remarks and smirks resumed.

"Looks like Mr.Kooper's first love is back in town.Time for someone to make way, huh?"

"Pfft, what's the point of making a special meal for Mr.Kooper? He probably won't even touch it."

"with his first love back, who would want her cooking? If not for her, Miss Mitchell might be our CEO's wife by now."

"Quiet down.Who knows how long she will hold onto her title as CEO's wife? Let's just grab some popcorn and watch the drama unfold."

Everyone was convinced that Sara was the one Gilbert cherished most, so they all went out of their way to please her.

Back in the day, this blatant favoritism had seemed phony, but now, only these gossipmongers still thought they had it all figured out.

The truth is that a relationship cannot be judged by its outward appearance alone.

As Kisa checked the time, she realized it was almost lunch break.

Anxious that the food would get cold and knowing the assistant would not help, she pulled out her phone and dialed Gilbert's number herself.

The man responded quickly, excitement in his voice, "You're here? it "Are you still busy?"

As soon as Kisa finished asking, the door to the CEO's office swung open.

Gilbert strode toward her, his eyes lighting up at the sight of her.

"Did you make my all-time favorite lemon butter salmon?"

"Yes, I brought it.Eat it while it's hot."

Kisa handed him the lovingly packed container.He gratefully took it and gently pulled her toward the CEO's office.

"Let's savor it together."

Sara, who had been with Gilbert, also emerged, her smile sweet as honey.

''Kisa, you're here! I was just about to whisk Gilbert away for lunch.I didn't realize you already prepared a feast for him."

"He loves my cooking,"

Kisa replied nonchalantly, glancing toward the main office area.

At that moment, the gossiping employees had all bowed their heads in shame, too mortified to speak.

A flicker of jealousy and frostiness flashed across Sara's eyes but was quickly masked.

Gilbert hardly looked at her, so he did not notice the malevolent glare.

As he led Kisa into the CEO's office, she discreetly surveyed the room. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

It was clean and tidy, but a woman's coat casually draped over the couch caught her attention.

Gilbert placed the packed container on the coffee table.

Kisa looked at him, her voice barely a whisper.

"They said Sara was here for over an hour."

"Mhm, she met with a client this morning and had a ton of questions, so I took the time to explain no.velebook everything to her," he replied casually.

Then, raising his eyes to meet hers, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Kisa shook her head, forcing a smile.

"Nothing."

In reality, Sara had not been with a client that morning but had been fooling around with Shaun.

But Kisa held her tongue.She knew it would be more convincing if Gilbert uncovered Sara's true colors on his own.
