Chapter 926
A Life Debt Repaid
At this point, Zoe would have to say yes even if it was not the case⦠but Jay was right anyway.
When it came to condiments, she hated mountain pepper and parsley, but it still puzzled herâshe never had either anyway, so why would Jay know that she hated mountain pepper more?
Was it a wild guess?
Or perhapsâ¦
She did recall taking part in a gourmet show and mentioning offhandedly about her stronger dislike for mountain pepper if she had to choose between the two.
Did he happen to watch that?
The man was so busy, but he had the time to sit through some pointless TV show?!
âSecond question. How old was Zoe when she made her debut?â
âShe was eighteen years, three months and fifteen days old,â Jay answered without hesitation this time and without raising any flashcards.
The director did a double take. âThatâs⦠awfully precise.â
âYeah.â
âLet me check,â the director promptly whipped out his phone to check, since the answer he had was just up to eighteen years.
He had to cross-check between Zoeâs birth date and her debut date, and Jayâs answer turned out to be completely correct.
The director chuckled then. âYouâre answering too quickly, Jay. The audience might question this for being scripted.â
âI can take my time for the next question.â Jay smiled.
âThird question, who is Zoeâs favorite star?â
Once again, same answer.
âFourth question. What are the measurements of Zoeâs bust, waist, and hip?â
âBefore or at present?â Jay asked.
The director was actually stumped, and said begrudgingly,â The official measurements they have online.â
âIn that case, 81-60-90,â Jay replied as if it could not be easier.
âCorrect,â the director quickly nodded, but soon added, âBy the way, whatâs the current measurements?â
â83-60-90,â Jay said openly.
Zoe pursed her lips-how the hell did he know?
Did he cop a feel?!
Wait, there was no way he could measure them with just his hands even if he did.
She then remembered making a call days ago to order a gown, and she had informed the tailor about her measurements at the time.
But he was supposed to be playing with Yelena at the time⦠Did he overhear her?
And remembered it?!
âDo you hear that, everyone? Time to update Zoeâs wiki page! â the director exclaimed jovially, before adding, âFinal question. This is very simple, and itâs not a test on your understanding of your better half.â
Jay chuckled. âCan I pass?â
âSure, weâll save the caviar for ourselves.â
â⦠Alright, ask away,â Jay gave in then-the production crew always had a way to keep them on a leash.
âWhen did you pop your cherry?â the director asked.
It was only expected for such variety shows to pick such grilling questions. The director certainly proceeded deliberately without a care, as if he did not mind the drama.
âLadies first. Zoe, your answer?â
Zoe pursed her lips, but answered, âAround four years ago. January 13,2019.â
âYou certainly remember that well,â the director joked.
Zoe certainly did, and after she answered, she glanced at Bob, who was taking a break nearby.
He had been glancing at them from time to time as if he was not paying much attention, but he met Zoeâs gaze just then.
They were both all too aware of the regrets that lingered between them.
And yet, it also felt like the most ideal arrangement destiny had for them-since they were fated to be apart, having fewer things that bound them together was naturally ideal.
