A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 818

However, when Zoe was drunk, her personality would spiral out of control.

"What is it? Something upset you today?" Cordy asked.

"Nope. I just wanted someone to talk to. I just napped a little after getting drunk, so I can't sleep."

Cordy did not expose her right then and simply asked, "Who were you drinking with?"

"Quinn."

"Just her?" Cordy was obviously skeptical.

"… I ran into Bob and the others, so we joined them."

"Bob and the others… So that includes Jay." Cordy cut straight to the heart of the matter right then.

Zoe really felt exposed whenever she chatted with Cordy—the woman really saw through everything, which explained how her career was progressing so smoothly.

Regrettably, her love life was still a little bumpy.

"There's nothing between me and Jay." Zoe denied it straightaway.

"I never said anything. I was just asking." Cordy giggled, leaving Zoe feeling like she indirectly admitted to it anyway.

"By the way, I watched a variety show of yours." Cordy changed the subject then.

"Really? How did I do?" Zoe quickly asked.

"Wonderful," Cordy did not shy from praising her. "Jay really has vision."

Zoe frowned—why did Cordy have to mention him again?

"From the first round to the most recent, don't you think he's been standing staunchly by your side? It's not surprising with that sharp insight that he could direct so many excellent films."

"You're really making me wonder if you're praising me or him." Zoe pouted, suddenly realizing that they were suddenly back on Jay again.

"I'm praising you both." Cordy laughed. "By the way, aren't you raring to try again, since you've been working so closely with him ever since you came back?"

"Nope," Zoe replied staunchly.
