Kisa pursed her lips.

What a load of nonsense to be busy with! Davian has already said that the company has been quiet lately. Obviously, he just doesn’t want to sleep with me.”

But she supposed it was kind of him to let her use the lounge and even invite her up

“Well then, I’ll go to sleep first. You should rest early too, don’t stay up too late,” Kisa said before. walking toward the neatly arranged lounge.

The room was spotless with white sheets that were neatly folded at the foot of the bed. Kisa touched the bedding, and it was so thin that it felt like she was lying on an air-conditioned blanket. She took off her outer clothes and lay down, quickly covering herself with the sheets. But even with the heater on full blast, the open window made the room freezing cold. Kisa curled up. hoping Gilbert would hurry and come to warm her up.

After tossing and turning for what felt like hours, she finally called out to Gilbert at the door,” Gilbert, aren’t you going to sleep?”

“No, I’m not,” he replied.

“But I’m so cold. Come sleep with me?”

“The remote’s at the head of the bed. Just turn the heat up.”

“But I’ve already turned it up as high as it will go. And if I turn it up too high, the air will be too dry. And you know what that means a sore throat tomorrow for sure.”

There was silence.

Kisa called out again, but Gilbert did not respond.

“Gilbert!”

Kisa let out a frustrated groan, sat up in bed, and spun around to see him standing at the door with his arms crossed “Gilbert. Kisa immediately smiled and looked at him pitifully, “It’s really cold, and this blanket is too thin.”

“Hmm, there’s a blanket in the cabinet. I will go get it for you,” he said before turning around and leaving. A few seconds later, he came back with a blanket that looked even thinner than the AC blanket. Without saying a word, he placed the blanket on top of the AC blanket. “It is not cold now, is it?” he said expressionlessly.

Kisa was at a loss for words, watching him leave again. She got under the covers, but there was no warmth in them. Unable to sleep because of the cold, she got out of bed and wrapped herself in the blanket.

Standing at the door, she glared at Gilbert who was smoking while leaning back in his chair. He clearly had nothing better to do than avoid her company. She wondered if that was the case, why he even called her up here.

“I guess I’m taking up your resting room. I’ll just go back. If I leave, you can rest early,” Kisa

muttered as she quickly put on her coat.

As she walked out of the room, Gilbert remained motionless, with only the dwindling cigarette between his fingers. Kisa walked out, turning around to look at him.

He did not pay any attention to her until she was at the door. That was when he spoke coldly, “If you’re leaving, leave now. Don’t stay downstairs and bother me.”

Kisa felt wronged. If he had not called her up here suddenly, at that moment she would have already been at the Kooper residence, snuggled up in a warm bed.

She glared at him in anger and walked out the door. Gilbert’s face became even sullen than before as he watched her disappear.

‘Am I torturing myself on purpose? he asked himself, his mind overwhelmed with frustration. He kicked the chair away before heading back into the lounge while tugging on his tie
