Chapter 576
A Life Debt Repaid
The lights on the stage dimmed, while the lights on the catwalk shone dazzlingly.
Fashion models started to file in on the catwalk; there were endless camera flashes around, photographing them.
Cordy was watching the fashion show with utmost seriousness, since Maron never disappointed as a world famous designer.
The fashion models were world-famous as well, so much that even someone like Cora wouldnât shine if she took to the catwalk.
However, she was still one of the nationâs elites; thus, her appearance at the scene naturally drew much media attention.
In fact, there was a slight unrest when she stepped out.
Jay arrived just then and sat down next to Bob, who held his arm and asked, âWhat kept you?â
âThe flight was delayed.â Jay panted slightly.
âYouâre just in time-Coraâs up.â Bob gestured at the catwalk.
Jay nodded in acknowledgement, and Bob asked, âShe said sheâll be filming a movie with you next month?â
âYeah,â Jay replied. âShootingâs going to take a couple months, and itâs due for release in spring. Most of the scenes will be taken in North City.â
âThatâs good,â Bob said.
Jay didnât elaborate, and turned his attention to the catwalk.
Jay was attending the fashion show since he had helped Maron with one of his commercials in Zidonia, something Maron was very happy about. They had since made each otherâs acquaintance, which was whow he got invited to the fashion show.
While Jay wasnât particularly extroverted, he wasnât one who said no easily. When faced with a friendly gesture, he couldnât bring himself to reject it. Thus, he attended the fashion show despite his busy schedule.
Bob paused for a moment before saying, âI just ran into Cordy backstage. Sheâs sitting up front.â
Jay turned towards her, and found Cordy sitting in the first row.
In truth, he hadnât spoken much to Cordy over the last three years.
After all, Johnny was gone now.
The loss was a huge blow to Jay, even more so when everyone had been hiding it from him.
It wasnât until he made a full recovery abroad that he learned about Johnnyâs death, after which he paid Cordy a visit.
They didnât talk much, nor did he ask too many questions.
âCordy actually asked me about Zoe,â Bob eventually said.
They hadnât spoken about Cordy for a while, too.
When Jay returned to the country two and a half years ago, Bob sought him out.
There was nothing particularly sentimental in their words, but they tacitly agreed to let go of everything unpleasant between them before.
âHas Zoe asked for you?â Bob asked.
It had been three years, and he had since gotten over Zoe.
Right now, things were steady between him and Cora. While he didnât feel particularly strongly about their relationship, he was at the age to settle down-since he had the right person, he simply went with it without much thought.
âNo,â Jay replied.
âDid you try looking for her?â Bob asked again.
Jay pursed his thin lips. âShe probably lives her own life now.â
âBack then, because of youâ¦â
Ultimately, Bob grew slightly agitated.
He never spoke of Zoe for three years as he feared he would lose control once he did so, and he didnât want to hurt their brotherhood.
