A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 595

Cordy was suddenly very angry.

Strangely enough, she couldn’t control her own temper when it came to Lucas.

"Why did you buy it?" she demanded.

Lucas smirked as he looked up at her. "You're such a funny person. I have my own freedom in deciding the clothes I would like to buy—or maybe you're suggesting I should ask for your opinion first?'

"You knew I bought the same design."

"That's your business. What does that have to do with me?" Lucas’s smirk widened. "I liked it, so I bought it. As for your opinion, Miss Sachs, I'm sorry, but we're not that close that your feelings are within my consideration."

Cordy bit her lip, livid.

However, she had no comeback against Lucas' words.

And did he really grow up abroad? Why was his Zidonian so fluent?!

"That just means you both share the same standards," Maron said, quickly trying to calm things down. "You two really are frontliners in fashion—I agree that the design of that coat is good, and I was just talking to Lucas about it."

Cordy pursed his lips and calmed herself.

She quietly took a sip of her coffee, repeatedly telling herself that she shouldn’t damage her health over a man like Lucas.

It wasn’t worth it!

"By the way, Lovely, there will be another fashion show abroad in the latter half of the year," Maron said. "Every world famous designer will be taking part, but are you interested? It's been a while since you made something, and plenty of people are looking forward to it. How about it? Make some preparations ahead of the show?"

"When would that be?"

"Around June."

"Alright. I have plenty of time to prepare."

"I'll take that for a yes?"

"Yeah."

"Would you be going there yourself? I'll receive you when you arrive."

"Sure, if nothing else comes up at the time."

"You really should leave the house more often," Maron told her. "I don't know what happened to you in the past couple years, but I just had this feeling that you're not doing well. Of course, I'm not doubting your abilities as a designer, but mainly because of your health… How do I put it? Your spirit has been waning."
