Chapter 34

Chapter 34 You Think I‘m Blind? “Kisa!” Gilbert gritted his teeth and snorted, almost wanting to slap her in the face. “I didn‘t use any strength. She fell down by herself,” Kisa said expressionlessly.

“You think I‘m blind?”

‘You are already blind,‘ Kisa said in her mind. Even if she was physically weak, she would not show it or back down.

Gilbert stared at her unruly face and wished he could strangle her.

Just then, Sharon put her hand to her bruised waist and said softly, “Gilbert, don‘t blame Kisa. It was my fault. She obviously doesn‘t like this hot and spicy chicken now. It was my fault that I forced it on her.” Sharon‘s words reminded him of the way Kisa ate the chicken‘s thigh at noon, and he was filled with fury. ‘Does she like Howard so much that even the chicken‘s thigh from that man smells extra good?‘ He took a deep breath, fought back the anger, and sneered at Kisa. “Don‘t you want me to give that role back to Howard?”

Kisa‘s eyes lit up, and she looked at him expectantly. “With a condition,” he said evilly. “Whatever you want, just ask. I will do anything to get that role back for him.” Kisa dared to make this promise because she felt she had nothing left to lose and, in a worst–case scenario, she would only lose her life. “Are you really willing to do anything?” Gilbert said coldly, his eyes glancing at the hot and spicy chicken strewn on the floor. He snickered. “Fine, then finish the hot and spicy chicken on the floor, and I will give him back that role.” Kisa‘s heart skipped a beat, somewhere inside her heart throbbing with pain for a second. It turned out that even though she had been down and out, he still wanted to trample her dignity on the ground. “Don‘t eat that. It is on the floor and dirty,” Sharon said anxiously.

“No. I want her to eat the floor clean in front of me.” Gilbert spelled out his words in a bitter voice.

Kisa stared stiffly at the hot and spicy chicken all over the floor. ‘It is just dignity. I can give it up. But the hot and spicy chicken is laden with chili peppers; my stomach will definitely turn over in pain, and it may induce a nasty disease if I eat that.’ She took a deep breath with difficulty and looked at Gilbert. “Could you ask for something else?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Who are you to bargain with me?”

“What if I say I might die if I eat this?”

“Heh, then I‘d really like to see if you can really die for real this time.”

Kisa let out self–deprecating laughter as she looked at the man‘s heartless face. ‘He has never cared about me, dead or alive. What am I still hoping for? It is ridiculous.‘

“Kisa, don‘t listen to Gilbert. The things have dropped to the floor. How can you eat that?” Sharon suddenly said anxiously and then squatted down, wanting to clean up the hot and spicy chicken on the floor. Gilbert stared at Kisa and sneered. “There is only this one chance. It is up to you whether you want to take it.” Kisa closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, a flash of determination flashed in them. “Okay, I will eat.”

While speaking, she slowly squatted down and picked up the hot and spicy chicken on the . floor. She then looked up at him. “Keep your word. After I finish eating these on the floor, you return that role to Howard.”

Gilbert said nothing, just secretly clenching his hands and staring at her with cold eyes. ‘You first risked her life, and now you could even give up your dignity for that man. Kisa, are you this good to every man except me?‘ “Gilbert, you must keep your word,” Kisa emphasized again as if she was giving her last words. With that, she slowly delivered a piece of hot and spicy chicken to her lips.
