A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47

As Cordy walked ahead, John walked up to her side.

They looked perfect for each other even from behind, and everyone in the banquet hall was inadvertently drawn to it.

So they really were in a relationship?!

In John’s car, Cordy was feeling muddled-she had too much to drink.

Moreover, she had not been drinking for a while, stopping since she ditched Kyle and stopped working at Jessop Corp.

And tonight…

In the end, she was still a little aggrieved.

She thought she knew everything about herself, but she was ultimately not as impervious as she thought she was.

As the car arrived, John turned to find Cordy asleep, leaning against the car window.

Her cheeks were flushed, her breath regular and rhythmic.

He alighted and carried her-she frowned, clearly feeling a little uncomfortable, but she was feeling too dizzy and too limp to resist.

“What’s the passcode?” he asked in his deep, alluring voice as he reached her apartment door.

Cordy had no idea if she had been bewitched or just drunk.

“It’s my birthday…”

Before she could say a number, the door lock’s mechanical feminine voice spoke: [Door unlocked.]

John carried her inside and opened the shoe cupboard to see the two pairs of footwear placed neatly together.

His lips curled up in a smile, and he reached out to take the male loafers. Then, he strode into her bedroom, with her still in his arms.

Once she was placed on her soft bed, Cordy shifted her body.

She was still wearing John’s suit jacket and that body-hugging gown-she was clearly uncomfortable.

John took off her high heels first, and immediately saw her fair ankles red and with lesions.
