A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 663

Zoe was stunned for a moment.

She immediately kept her distance and said, "I'm sorry for waking you up."

After they reunited, Zoe seemed to be always apologizing to him.

It felt as if she greatly feared provoking him.

Jay swallowed past his dry, parched throat.

He was a light sleeper and did not sleep much during the night. Moreover, it was not easy to fall asleep with Zoe in his arms.

He finally felt sleepy at daybreak.

He released Zoe from his embrace and leaned her gently against the wall. He was afraid that if she suddenly woke up, she would be appalled at how intimately they were leaning against each other.

He sat in another corner, leaning against the wall, and fell asleep.

"The sky's turning bright. The staff should be reporting to work soon," Zoe said as she stood up and stretched out her limbs.

It was indeed uncomfortable sleeping on the floor the entire night.

"I'll take a look outside," Zoe said as she headed out.

"Zoe," Jay called out.

Zoe stopped in her tracks and looked at him.

"The buttons… on your shirt," Jay said, as friendly as he could.

Zoe looked down and saw that the first two buttons on her shirt had come undone, effectively affording anyone with an easy view down her chest.

"Oh, thanks."

Zoe buttoned up her shirt, feeling unperturbed.

'There's nothing to be embarrassed about,' she thought.

It was not as if Jay had not seen her body before.

After Zoe was decent, she made a move to leave. She paused in her tracks, as if something came to mind, and turned around to say to Jay, "Perhaps it's better for you to address me as Ms. York. That might help us avoid public speculation about us which might affect the program."

Jay felt his chest tighten but he said, "Sure."

With that, Zoe left without so much as saying goodbye.

Soon after, staff started streaming into the building.
