Chapter 154
Zoe nodded and said earnestly, “Cordy, you’re so nice. John’s lucky to have met you.”
Cordy became a little embarrassed from Zoe’s words-in reality, she was lucky to have met John too.
“Thank goodness Dicky’s mother was blind, or I’d never have such a nice cousin-in-law,” Zoe said, continuing her flattery.
“Just sleep,” Cordy urged Zoe with a smile, and then hurried off to the bathroom.
Zoey watched as Cordy left, her smile slowly fading.
She wondered just then if women had to meet scumbags before meeting their prince-even Cordy had to run into one like Kyle Jessop.
As for herself, Jay was more than enough.
Zoe was woken by her phone’s ringtone early next morning, and seeing who it was, she answered. with a groan. “Linda, didn’t I tell you that Jay Parker would handle it? We just have to wait, so don’t. bother me already…”
“He just made an announcement,” Linda said bluntly.
Zoe promptly sat up on bed, wide awake right then.
Cordy was woken by Zoe too, and she rose to find Zoe clearly agitated-she had tapped on her news app and found Jay denying any personal connection with Zoe, insisting that they only had a working relationship. He added that he was now in a relationship with Mandy Jessop, and as he did not want to waste the public’s time, he warned the media against making baseless conjectures.
Cordy was stunned when she read the news too… Jay was actually dating Mandy?
It was not as if she was prejudiced against the Jessops, but Mandy was definitely nothing good.
“Zoe!” Linda snapped at Zoe from the other end just then.
“Yeah.” Zoe came to her senses soon enough, and turned very calm.
“Is there really nothing between you and Jay Parker?” Linda asked, clearly skeptical towards Jay’s announcement.
After all, would Zoe have been photographed at Levine Manor if there was nothing between them? It was not as if just anyone could go there freely as they liked!
“Jay was pretty clear, wasn’t he?” Zoe simply laughed faintly.
