A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 84

Zoe then added, “Your bed smells really nice.”

Cordy smiled.

After that, Zoe took a bath and put on a pair of Cordy’s pajamas, walking around and surveying Cordy’s home. “There’s only one room…”

“You can still change your mind,” 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.

“Change my mind for what?” Zoe giggled. “It’s no loss for me.”

Cordy suddenly stared at Zoe fixedly, and Zoe quickly came to her senses to explain, “Don’t worry, I’m straight.”

Smiling, Cordy handed her the coffee she brewed. “I prefer my coffee black. There are cubes over here if you don’t like it bitter.”

“No, I usually take mine black too-especially when I’m tired.”

They both sat on the couch as Cordy turned on the TV.

She happened to leave it on an entertainment channel, which was broadcasting a reality show with Zoe on it.

“You’re really a fan of mine!” 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 Zoe’s face.

Hence, they both kept watching the show until it was rather late, and Zoe’s phone suddenly started ringing.

She took a look but did not answer.

After that, Cordy’s phone rang instead, and she quickly answered when she saw who it was. “Mr. Parker.”

Zoe seemed to glance at her just then, but soon turned back to the TV.

Meanwhile, Jay Parker was asking, “I heard Zoe had a photoshoot at Starstream Fashion for her endorsement?”

“Yes,” Cordy nodded. “Are you looking for her? She’s with me right now.”

“Really?” Jay asked as if for confirmation.

“Yeah,” Cordy replied. “We got a little drunk, so she asked to stay at my place.”

“Oh, okay,” Jay replied, almost sounding relieved.

“Were you looking for her? Should I pass her the phone?”

“No, it’s fine-it’s just that she didn’t answer my call just now. Just pass my message that tomorrow’s scene is very important, and she mustn’t be late.”

“Okay,” 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.

“Anyway, that’s all from me. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight.”

Cordy hung up before turning to Zoe, “Director Parker is asking you to not be late tomorrow, since it’s an important scene tomorrow.”

“Tch.” 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!
