A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1125

Zoe kept staring fixedly even as Jay stepped out of the shower, convinced that something was weird with him.

Jay felt the creeps from her stare, but there was no question that he was bad at lying, and it would have been better if he had stayed quiet.

To stop Zoe interrogating him,he quickly said, "I ran into Cordy yesterday. She just returned to town."

"What?!" Zoe exclaimed in surprise, distracted in an instant.

"Didn't she contact you?" Jay exclaimed in surprise.

At the same time, he prayed that Cordy would not skin him for this since he had no other choice.

"That woman!" Zoe was fuming in turn—Cordy rarely returned, but she never said a word, let alone contacted Zoe!

Was she not Cordy's best friend?!

Huffing, she whipped out her phone and called Cordy, while Jay heaved a deep sigh of relief from the close shave.

"I just heard from Jay that you came back?" Zoe asked the instant Cordy answered.

Cordy happened to be in her own office, working overtime—she had stayed at the capital for too long and returned to find a ton of work waiting to be done.

Picking up her cup of black coffee and taking a sip, she walked up to the glass wall to take in the bright lights of North City in the night while answering Zoe, "I'm busy. There's a lot to do at work."

"Is that supposed to be an excuse?"

"Nope." Cordy gave in right away—it was her fault for not contacting Zoe when she was coming back.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Zoe asked.

Cordy rubbed her temples instead of answering right away.

"We can meet in the evening. It won't impose on your work," Zoe eventually huffed, though she did not want to bother Cordy at work either, since she knew very well how much of a workaholic Cordy was.

"Alright."
