A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 22
A Life Debt Repaid
Simon was certainly skeptical Still, considering that Cordy must have had a hard time getting anything going or trying to manage Starstream Group with various head of departments reneging, did she smarten up and decided to appo int Noel, so that Noel would keep them in line?
Simon thought then that it was all Cordy amounted to⦠To think that he believed she could achieve an ything for a moment!
Smugness showed on his face as he barked, âAppointing Noel is certainly the best move you can make to rein in Starstream! Sheâs worked there for years, and sheâs naturally no greenhorn like you!â
âThank you for your advice.â Cordy played along, though she found it ironic herselfâ
appointing Noel was really just a bait for them to come at her!
âOh, and do you remember Bryson Zimmer-â
âYou donât have to worry about my private life.â
She hung up, but soon her phone rang again.
Cordy did not answer it, and she then received a text from Kyle. âNoel just called me saying that you ap pointed her as CEO. Iâm glad you can put the past behind, since youâre Noelâs sister Iâd really feel guilty . if I caused a rift between sisters.â
Cordy deleted the text immediately.
Some people were really ridiculously thickâskinned!
Over at Levine Ventures, John Levine had just finished a meeting with his executives and returned to hi s office.
Randy Martin served him black coffee while informing him of his schedule for the day.
After Randy finished, he added, âAlso, we just received word from Starstream Groupâ
Mrs. Levine has just appointed Noel Sachs as CEO.â
John was typing on his keyboard and paused at that.
âShould I look into it? Maybe the Sachs threatened her.â
âThereâs no rush.â John blinked, and then seemed to realize something. âJust wait and see.â
âYes, Mr. Levine.â
Turning back to his computer, he slowly said, âMy grandfatherâs birthday is on the 17th next month.â
âYes, heâs already sent out all his invitations too,â Randy replied respectfully. âDo you have any special instructions, sir?â
âNot particularly.â John shook his head.
Randy said nothing and watched as his boss hesitated before drafting a text and sending it as if it took.
him great courage.
Meanwhile, Cordy was frowningâ
believing that it was Kyle again, she was going to put her phone on silent when she saw the sender.
[Will you be free on the 17th next month?]
Cordy pursed her lips as she stared quietly at the text.
She replied: [Yeah.]
John had been sending her a highly nutritious dinner every night, and she could not refuse.
She was under the impression that it would just be dinnerâshe could take the check too.
âThatâs a promise.â
Her lips curled into a smile, as she could almost see John celebrating on the other end.
She sighed.
After all, was there a reason she could not believe in him once more?
Noel was at first convinced that Cordy would not be kind enough to appoint her as CEO out of the goodness of her h Still, in contrast to her time as head of design, she was idling even more now as CEOâ
there were not that many tasks she needed to deal with.
The most pressing task for Starstream at the moment was this seasonâs design, which Cordy just took fu Noel naturally already did her homeworkâ
she certainly doubted Cordy could produce a satisfying draft within the month by herself.
And once she failed, Noel would make sure she did not keep her job!
Her phone suddenly started ringing.
âMandy?â Noel answered.
âAre you leaving work yet?â
