A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379

It was now December, and full-blown winter in North City.

Sam Saunders's birthday was on the twelfth, and it was a grand occasionaside from his usual friends, every important figure in North City was there.

Cordy was invited too—she had been working hard on taking Starstream High Fashion to the market, so she used the occasion to take a breather.

She strode through the banquet hall in a subtle but elegant gown, and saw Quinn in the distance. Quinn had her hand around Sam's arm, and was mingling with their guests.

Cordy never saw Quinn wear red before, since she usually dressed conservatively as a lawyer. Thus, Quinn's red gown was especially striking.

And for some reason, she certainly looked like she belonged at Sam’s side —she was almost the epitome of a trophy wife.

"Cordy,1 the familiar voice of a man called out just then, and Cordy turned to find Jay standing beside her.

He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his fair face actually appeared pale now.

"Long time no see," she greeted him.

"Yes." Jay smiled politely.

Cordy felt a pain in her chest-Jay actually fared much better than Zoe did, but there was just this feeling that he was in pieces.

"Johnny's here," Jay told her, his eyes on the doorway.

Cordy turned as well, to find John and Jessica appearing together at the banquet hall.

The next second, Jay saw Cordy walking off into the distance.

Stepping out into the garden at the back, Cordy was having a breather on the swing while musing to herself that socializing with business partners was really dull.
