A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 33
A Life Debt Repaid
âReally?â Richard asked.
âOf course,â Cordy replied-it was Alanâs seventieth birthday tomorrow, after all.
And with that assurance, Richard happily left with Winston, while Cordy quickly got changed, put on makeup, and went to work.
She had just entered her office when Vince Cartman approached her and presented an invitation. âMs.
Sachs? Mr. Alan Levine from Levine Ventures is celebrating his birthday tomorrow, and he has sent you an invitation.â
Cordy opened it casually, and saw her name written on the card with outrageously artistic calligraphy For some reason, she was sure it was John who wrote it.
The door suddenly opened, and Cordy looked up to see Noel entering. I need to talk to you, sis.â
Cordy sent Vince out of the room while handily hiding her invitation.
Noel snapped right then, âI had something to do and left work early! You didnât have to put on notice that I skipped work on the companyâs administration portal, did you?â
She flew into a rage the instant she saw the notification on the companyâs official portal-she was the CEO! Being reported for skipping work? Everyone would be laughing at her!
âThis company has regulations, and everyone is treated equally under it âWerenât you skipping work too?!â
âI own this company,â Cordy replied, leveling a cool look at Noel. âIn other words, I donât answer to its rules.â
Noelâs face turned green, but she had no comeback.
âIf you find this unacceptable, you are free to leave the company.â Cordy added flatly âI knew it,â Noel thought to herself right then.
Cordy would seize any chance to chase her out of Starstream Group!
But she was not about to fall for it!
Forced to give in, Noel said, âI was at fault for skipping work. I wonât do it ever again.â
Cordy simply sneered. âYou may go.â
Noel turned to leave, her teeth clenching and her eyes flashing viciously.
She would return all the indignation and humiliation she suffered in Cordyâs hands by a hundredfold!
Nonetheless, she was fuming even as she returned to her office.
As her phone started to ring, she took a long while to calm down before answering it. âHey, Mandy.â
âIs Cordy going to attend Alan Levineâs birthday party tomorrow?â
Noel thought about it. âDad never told me that sheâs bringing her-heâs always cared more about saving face.â
In other words, she was saying that bringing that Cordy would embarrass their family.
âMoreover, any event the Levines put together would be of the highest order,â Noel added. âAny company or person who falls a little short would not make the list. Starstream Group certainly doesnât.â
âThatâs better.â Mandy heaved a sigh of relief. âI was worried that she would attend it in that gown.â
Mandy certainly had to admit that should Cordy make an appearance in that gown, she definitely would steal Mandyâs thunder.
âDonât worry-she has no right to show up. She probably bought that gown to satisfy her vanity, so donât bother with her.â
âYeah,â Mandy said, but she was obviously much more cheerful. âSee you tomorrow.â
âYeah.â
Noel smiled evilly as soon as she put down her phone.
When tomorrow came, all Cordy got to do was to envy them!
On the 17th, Alan Levineâs seventieth birthday topped trending searches in North City and seemed stuck there since the morning.
By nightfall, the most luxurious nightclub in North City was shining so brightly the skies were illuminated.
Countless luxury cars were queuing to get in, and journalists were fighting over themselves to get a photo or interview with every person who alighted.
It was a scene grander than the annual awards in showbiz-far more dazzling and elegant too.
