A Life Debt Repaid
Zoe then added, âYour bed smells really nice.â
Cordy smiled.
After that, Zoe took a bath and put on a pair of Cordyâs pajamas, walking around and surveying Cordyâs home. âThereâs only one roomâ¦â
âYou can still change your mind,â Cordy said as she made coffee at the bar.
As she usually slept very late, she did not feel drowsy since it was not midnight yet.
And Zoe no longer felt sleepy after waking up either.
âChange my mind for what?â Zoe giggled. âItâs no loss for me.â
Cordy suddenly stared at Zoe fixedly, and Zoe quickly came to her senses to explain, âDonât worry, Iâm straight.â
Smiling, Cordy handed her the coffee she brewed. âI prefer my coffee black. There are cubes over here if you donât like it bitter.â
âNo, I usually take mine black too-especially when Iâm tired.â
They both sat on the couch as Cordy turned on the TV.
sugar She happened to leave it on an entertainment channel, which was broadcasting a reality show with Zoe on it.
âYouâre really a fan of mine!â Zoe exclaimed rather proudly.
In reality, this was not the case since Cordy would only watch such programs to kill time and relax.
Naturally, she would not say that to Zoeâs face.
Hence, they both kept watching the show until it was rather late, and Zoeâs phone suddenly started ringing.
She took a look but did not answer.
After that, Cordyâs phone rang instead, and she quickly answered when she saw who it was. âMr.
Parker.â
Zoe seemed to glance at her just then, but soon turned back to the TV.
Meanwhile, Jay Parker was asking, âI heard Zoe had a photoshoot at Starstream Fashion for her endorsement?â
âYes,â Cordy nodded. âAre you looking for her? Sheâs with me right now.â
âReally?â Jay asked as if for confirmation.
âYeah,â Cordy replied. âWe got a little drunk, so she asked to stay at my place.â
âOh, okay,â Jay replied, almost sounding relieved.
âWere you looking for her? Should I pass her the phone?â
âNo, itâs fine-itâs just that she didnât answer my call just now. Just pass my message that tomorrowâs scene is very important, and she mustnât be late.â
âOkay,â Cordy replied, but she was a little puzzled about how important it was that he called at midnight to remind Zoe.
She even felt that Jay obviously sounded anxious when she first answered the call, but he sounded unconcerned now.
âAnyway, thatâs all from me. Goodnight.â
âGoodnight.â
Cordy hung up before turning to Zoe, âDirector Parker is asking you to not be late tomorrow, since itâs an important scene tomorrow.â
âTch.â Zoe clicked her tongue in disdain-she certainly knew that Jay was only calling her because she had yet to return to Levine Manor.
He might be only five years older than her, but he really was a responsible elder!
