    Kisa pursed her lips.


    What a load of nonsense to be busy with! Davian has already said that thepany 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 toote,” 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 nket. She took off


    her outer clothes andy down, quickly covering herself with the sheets. But even with the heater on


    full st, the open window made the room freezing cold. Kisa curled up. hoping Gilbert would hurry


    ande 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


    nket is too thin.”


    “Hmm, there’s a nket in the cab. I will go get it for you,” he said before turning around and


    leaving. A few secondster, he came back with a nket that looked even thinner than the AC


    nket. Without saying a word, he ced the nket on top of the AC nket. “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


    nket.


    Standing at the door, she red at Gilbert who was smoking while leaning back in his chair. He clearly


    had nothing better to do than avoid herpany. 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 red 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
