A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 915

Zoe turned toward Jay, completely surprised that he would agree to taking part in Journey of Love.

While he had the excuse of picking actors for his films in Actors on Set, it was simply confusing why he would take part in Journey of Love at all.

Maybe he was planning to throw her to the wolves, like she planned to do to him?

Zoe certainly would not upset a producer like Ruby, however, since she wanted to be friends with everyone. She had therefore wanted to paint Jay as the villain in this respect, especially since she planned to develop her career on her own following their inevitable divorce anyway.

But it had to be Jay who made the first move—there was just no beating his cunning!

"Since that's alright with you, Ms. Jones, I'll visit tomorrow to discuss your contract," Ruby said eagerly. "Well, it's very late, so I won't disturb you anymore. See you, bye."

Ruby hung up before Zoe had a chance to refuse.

Zoe put away her phone and turned toward Jay, who sensed her stare and turned toward her.

"Ruby Jones called you earlier?" she asked.

"She did," Jay replied.

"Why didn't you reject her?" Zoe snapped, a little angry just then. "You hate variety shows, don't you?"

"I thought you'd want to take part."

"Why would I?! Like I hadn't dug myself a deep enough grave?! I would have accepted any other offers!" Zoe huffed in annoyance.

"I just thought you'd like to have more time on screen," Jay explained.

Zoe naturally doubted that, convinced that he had every attention to get her flamed.

"Also, it would pay well," Jay added.

"How much?" Zoe asked, suddenly excitedly.
