A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1204

Cordy raised a brow. "Tonight? Not the weekend?"

"You're the boss," Zoe told her. "You have a say on your own work hours."

Cordy sighed, but it had been a while since Zoe asked her out like this. "Why tonight? It seems unprecedented."

"Jay left on a business trip," Zoe exclaimed excitedly.

Cordy was speechless. "You're not afraid of upsetting him, huh?"

"He won't be upset if it's you," Zoe quickly said. "And Quinn missed out on that dinner before, so she can make up for it now."

"Fine, but I might be late. I'm taking stock of the share markets in the afternoon, so that might take a while."

"It's no issue," Zoe said generously. "We'll wait."

"Yeah."

Cordy put down her phone, rubbing her temples wearily just then.

She had been burning out a little from work lately, so it was time she relaxed.

Hence, Cordy kept the meetings for the day short and headed straight to the destination Zoe told her about after work.

It was the same old—a private room for just the three of them, and getting drunk was inevitable whenever Zoe was involved.

To make things worse, they were already drunk, but Zoe still insisted on dragging them along to a karaoke bar.

Quinn tried to reason that it was very late, but Zoe was relentless.

Quinn turned toward Cordy for help, and Cordy could agree that it was very late for them to stay.

And yet…

Fine, Cordy could admit that she had wanted to vent a little.

"Let's just hang out a little longer," she said.
