Chapter 151
As Cordy rode the elevator upstairs to her apartment, the doors eventually opened to reveal Zoe leaning against Cordy’s door, her face scarlet.
She was clearly drunk.
Cordy quickly strode up to her. “Zoe?”
Zoe was clearly muddled even as she opened her eyes, on the verge of tears when she saw Cordy. “You’re finally back.”
“What are you doing here?” Cordy asked. “You’re really drunk, too.”
“Shooting ended early today, so I went drinking with some friends,” Zoe replied, her breath stinking of alcohol.
How much did she drink, really?!
“With Quinn?” Cordy asked.
“No, she’s too busy and went on a business trip anyway. I went with other friends… Burp! Drinking buddies,” Zoe said, and belched.
Zoe certainly knew that Quinn was not that unreliable.
Still, she quickly opened the door and helped Zoe inside, asking, “Why didn’t you call me if you’re out here?”
“Dear John would murder me if I disturbed your date,” Zoe said, and she began to retch.
Cordy quickly helped her to the bathroom, and Zoe started to vomit while clutching at the toilet.
She did so for a long while, clutching her sick belly while Cordy kept rubbing her back. “Do you feel better? I can bring you water.”
“I need a bath,” Zoe suddenly said.
“Can you do it on your own?”
“Yeah.”
