Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 1551

Upon seeing her frozen in place, Gilbert's eyes widened as he grasped the situation.

Gripping her arm, he asked with urgency in his voice, "You don't think I'm involved with her again, do you?"

"No," Kisa replied, her gaze fixated on the food.

"I just can't eat here."

A spark of intrigue flashed across Gilbert's face as he scanned their surroundings. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Where would you like to eat, then?"

It was quite a rare occurrence for Kisa to express a preference.His heart swelled with excitement, and he carefully covered the food, his eyes never leaving her.

"I want to eat in the employee cafeteria," Kisa said, her lips pressed together.

Gilbert's eyebrow arched in surprise, and he chuckled.

"What made you suddenly want to eat there? I thought you usually despised crowded places?"

As he spoke, he stood up, balancing the food container in one hand and guiding her with the other as they made their way outside.Kisa remained silent; her eyes cast downward.

In reality, the gossip she had overheard from the employees had left her feeling vulnerable.

To reclaim her dignity, she wanted to use this opportunity to assert her significance in this man's life.However, she could not bring herself to confess this to him.

Gilbert studied her and began to grasp the unspoken truth.

His eyes softened, and his hold on her hand grew firmer.He was genuinely touched by her display of devotion.It was a clear indication that she still cared deeply for him and feared losing him to someone else.

GK was immense, and its employee cafeteria was no exception.

At the peak of lunchtime, the bustling space was filled to the brim.

Kisa deliberately chose a prominent spot, asserting her presence.

As the pair entered the cafeteria, they instantly became the center of attention.

The atmosphere shifted dramatically, and the once- noisy cafeteria hushed as though everyone was in the office, on their best behavior.

Gilbert unveiled the food container, grinning at Kisa, and asked, "Ready to give the employee meal from the cafeteria a try? GK's food has a great reputation."

Kisa eagerly nodded.

"Absolutely, you can eat what I made, and I'll sample the cafeteria fare."

Gilbert affectionately ruffled her hair before rising to join the line for their meals.As he walked away, the air buzzed with hushed, excited whispers.

"Hang on, why's Mr.Kooper treating this woman so well? Wasn't Miss Mitchell his one true love?"

"Who knows? It appears Mr.Kooper's heart truly belongs to his wife.But what's the story with Miss Mitchell?"

"Miss Mitchell must be ancient history.Just look at the love between Mr.Kooper and Mrs.Kooper now.They're a match made in heaven."

"Plus, all of Mr.Kooper's children are born to Mrs.Kooper.The media has confirmed it.Miss Mitchell will never have a place in the Kooper family.In the end, she's no match for the wife."

Sara stalked over, her eyes ablaze with barely contained jealousy and resentment.She stood in front of Kisa's table, clutching her meal tray so tightly that it trembled with her fury.

Kisa looked up, offering a faint smile.

"Since you're here, why not join us?"

Sara's cold, sarcastic smile accompanied her as she took the seat next to Gilbert's empty chair.

"Is the CEO's office not more tranquil than the cafeteria? You must be here to parade Gilbert's love for you, right?"

"You got me."

Kisa admitted unabashedly.She leaned back, staring dismissively at the woman before her and said, "I used to believe no.velebook he was in love with you.But now, I see that you are nothing to him."

Sara's eyes narrowed, jealousy seething within them.Kisa continued.

"You suddenly took a job at GK, hoping to make the employees think your old flame with him had rekindled, all to create a misunderstanding for me, right? They are unaware that there was never anything between you and Gilbert.I came to this employee cafeteria to ensure everyone at GK knows that I am Gilbert Kooper's wife, the true lady of this company."
