A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202

Minor disturbances in the banquet hall would never affect that many people, which was why Cordy’s arrival did not affect anyone by much. Still, the crowd’s eyes would be drawn to her golden silhouette, though they only allowed their eyes to linger for just a moment before turning away

At the moment, they would rather spend every second they had mingling with the rich and powerful individuals present.

As for Cordy, she headed over to an inconspicuous corner and waited there. She recognized a couple of faces, though she wondered if everyone who came today were not from North City since there were plenty of people she did not recognize.

Naturally, that was not her priority either-she was keeping an eye out for Richard.

She certainly missed the boy after being apart for so long.

But as she scanned the crowd that was constantly on the move, a man’s voice she did not recognize spoke beside her ear. “Cordy Sachs?”

Cordy turned toward the man. She found him familiar, but could not quite put a finger on where they had met.

The man was able to tell, and he glowered immediately as he introduced himself in annoyance. Bryson Zimmer.”

He had not expected Cordy to forget about him!

Still, he thought that might not really be the case-Cordy might just be pretending.

After all, women love to play hard-to-get, don’t they?

However, Cordy was still taken aback.

She still could not remember who Bryson was.

A business partner?

But she would always keep in mind every face whom she discussed business with, even if they had met just once-no, even if the deal eventually fell through. Moreover, she would always make sufficient preparations before meeting potential partners, so there was no way she would completely forget about them.

Bryson saw then that she really could not remember, and he could hardly hide his rage. “Cordy Sachs! I would agree that most men love women who play hard-to-get, but overdoing it would just make it unsavory!”

Cordy was going to properly greet him in return.

She was thinking that since they were acquainted, she should at least be considerate since it was a gesture of respect to the host as well.

But any relationship goes both ways, with no one obliged to tolerate anyone.
