A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 740

It was Zoe's own fault that her apartment was furthest from the city.

And with the two other thespians gone, the car was exceedingly silent.

"Wipe it," Jay suddenly said and handed her a wet towel.

Zoe took it and wiped her lips by instinct, unsure if she had something on it.

"Your arm," Jay prompted her then.

Zoe paused, but soon remembered that Arthur had touched every inch of her arm.

Jay was still a clean freak, huh?

Still, she wiped her arm without a word, while Jay said, "I don't know what will happen in the future, but as long as I'm involved in this variety show, I can protect you from the casting couch."

"Thank you," she replied.

Even she had to admit that Arthur would not be coming on to her after tonight, since Jay had assumed all responsibility. Naturally, she also had an excuse against any attempts Arthur would make to harass her.

Then, Jay began, "What happened in the past—"

"Stays in the past, so leave it," Zoe said, cutting him short. "Just forget all that unpleasant stuff. I mean, I did."

Jay swallowed.

'All that unpleasant stuff'… was that what she thought of it?

Soon, the car arrived outside Draxton Apartments, and Zoe nodded politely before leaving.

Jay watched as she left and then glanced at his disabled foot.

It was true—it was now unpleasant.
