A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 82
A Life Debt Repaid
Cordy spoke with much irony, âKyle Jessop is really good at claiming othersâ achievements.â
She had done so much for Jessop Corp, but all of it in the end was categorized as Kyleâs work.
She did not hold it against him because they were in a relationship, but now, she found that it really was not worth it.
âHow did you two end up breaking up? Donât tell me that fire burns away your feelings for each otherâ¦â
âHe fell for my stepsister.â
âNoel Sachs?â Zoe smirked. âThat two-faced bitch.â
âYou can tell?â
âAnyone with eyes can. Shame that four out of five men are blind.â
Cordy smiled-Zoey was certainly speaking sense, and she could not help feeling a little touched. This was only their second meeting, but there was this indescribable connection between them. Even Cordy herself had to admit that they really get along well together.
Since she always kept to herself even as a child, she never had many friends.
While she did have a couple of close friends, everyone avoided her ever since that scandal eighteen years ago. It was as if being seen with her would tarnish their reputation as well, and as time went by, Cordy became accustomed to being alone.
In fact, she wondered if she had been too lonely abroad and hence fell in love with Kyle easily, even having complete faith that their relationship was rock-solid.
As the two continued their conversation, they were drinking as well.
Though Cordy was not intending to get drunk, she drank a lot since she and Zoe were really hitting it off.
That was when her phone rang, and she glanced at the caller ID before answering. âYes, Vince?â âMs.
Sachs, Iâve sent the official documents, photos and video highlights of Ms. Yorkâs photoshoot to your phone. Please go through them, and if thereâs no issue, Iâll forward it to PR and Ms. Yorkâs management company for confirmation. Weâre prepared to go public at 10:10 PM on all major platforms.â
âOkay,â Cordy hung up and checked through all the documents, photos, and video highlights on her phone before showing it to Zoe as well. âCheck this out. Itâs the highlights and our official announcements weâll be publishing soon.â
Zoe spared it a few glances before saying, âItâs good-I look gorgeous in those. Most importantly, the design is great.â
âIâll approve it, then.â
âSure.â
With that, Cordy texted Vince Cartman back before continuing to feast with Zoe.
By 9:30 PM, they must have finished two cartons of beer.
Zoe was now obviously drunk, though Cordy did not fare any better.
Occasionally, she came under the impression that Zoe was trying to drink away her sorrows, though it would also appear as if Zoe simply liked to drink.
Moreover, Zoe did not look like a person with sorrows.
âLetâs get you home,â Cordy said as she helped Zoe to her feet.
âNope,â Zoe mumbled as she leaned her whole body against Cordy. âI want to sleep with you.â
While Cordy was left speechless, Zoe continued, âWeâre family soon anyway.â
If Zoe was not involved with John, Cordy would have suspected that Zoe was putting the moves on her.
