A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 775

Clara actually regretted doing the dishes instead of staying with Zoe at the time.

She missed the opportunity to find out who Yelena's father was!

And now, they were never going to make Yelena understand, even if they wanted to.

Moreover, judging from Zoe's attitude, she wasn’t going to say anything to Yelena's father.

Just then, Zoe's phone rang. She hesitated a while after seeing the caller, but ultimately answered.

"Where are you, Zoe?" Candice asked excitedly from the other end.

"What is it?"

"Are you done with whatever you need to do?" Candice pressed.

"Uh…" Zoe did not respond—experience told her that Candice was definitely asking her out for drinks.

And to no surprise, Candice went on, "Come to the karaoke bar! We're changing places now."

"I think I'll pass…"

"Whatever it is that's important to you, you have to come!" Candice exclaimed. "Mr. Parker’s still here. It won't do if you're the only one missing out. Hurry, everyone's waiting! I'm sending you the address now."

Zoe was hesitant, as she really didn’t want to go.

However, she was the only one absent. It would certainly make her look like she was full of herself.

She wasn’t worried about upsetting Jay, since things were more or less settled between them.

Even so, she didn’t want to cause a rift between herself and the other thespians, lest they find her too unsociable and self-important.

Interpersonal relationships took priority in showbiz, especially when you were less important in status.

As such, Zoe ultimately gave in.

Yelena was asleep. Zoe had more or less celebrated her daughter’s birthday although it was imperfect.

Putting down her glass, Zoe started to head to her room, intending on getting changed before heading out.
