A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1176
"You were drunk last night."Sean stretched his back, putting a pillow against the headboard to cushion himself as he sat up, sighing emotionally. "Urgh, I'm really sore all over.""Shut up!" Patrick bellowed at him.Sean was left confused as to how he upset Patrick.It took him great effort just to bathe the man last night, so that he could sleep comfortably… only to throw a fit at him first thing in the morning?!Did he even remember how terrible he was, flailing around like a child while Sean bathed him?! Not only did Sean have to coax him just like with a child, he even scratched Sean as he resisted."You're still drunk, aren't you?" Sean asked, studying him just then."Yes, yes, yes, I'm still drunk!" Patrick admitted to it right away. "That's why I had no idea what I did last night at all! So I refuse to take responsibility!"Sean was left staring at Patrick again. 'Refuse to take responsibility?'Still, Sean understood in an instant.So Patrick was presuming what h

A week passed.In North City, Cordy took the time to adjust and was more or less back to normal.Emotions would flare when she occasionally remembered what happened, but the issue was not at all major.And when she showed up at work, the employees would scarcely dare to act like something happened.After clearing a load of work for the day, Cordy decided to call Sean after some thought. She was convinced that she could be friends for life with Patrick, even if they could not be husband and wife.And although Sean had left to soften the blow for him over the week, he never called or texted her, so she had no idea how Patrick was doing.Soon, Sean answered, though he was clearly drowsy as if he had still been sleeping.And it was almost 11 AM—since when did he wake up so late?"You're still not up yet? What were you doing? Did you stay up the whole night?" Cordy asked, puzzled."Yeah, I just woke up," Sean rasped before adding vaguely, "Well, it's technically not the whole night

Cordy felt disappointment inside even though she could hear that Patrick sounded fine.Their relationship was neither deep or shallow, but it was over regardless.-In the afternoon, when Robin Tate—one of Cordy's executives—arrived for a routine update, he instead said, "I'm afraid I have bad news, Ms. Sachs.""What?""The lease of our flagship outlet in KPW Shopping Center that was due for renewal in October has been repealed, and a new lease tender is due immediately. We approached the manager yesterday, but they told us that someone bought the entire shopping center and is reevaluating the lease of every outlet starting next month."Cordy's eyes narrowed.Everyone was doing fine at their respective outlets at KPW Shopping Center. Why the sudden chaos and reevaluation of leases?!Not even a change in owners should lead to such a major reshuffle—forget the enormous workload that involved, it would also cause serious discontent among the businesses involved.Was the new owner

When Cordy arrived at the lobby of SYX's office building, the front desk receptionist intercepted her."Good morning, ma'am. May I ask for the purpose of your visit?""I would like to meet your CEO," Cordy replied politely."Do you have an appointment, ma'am?""No.""Then I'm sorry, ma'am. You can't meet him if you don't have one—he's really busy," the receptionist said mildly.Cordy pursed her lips, but she could imagine how busy a newly established company would be, especially since they had their hands in so many cookie jars.And barging in might affect the CEO's scheduling, so after some thought, she asked, "What time does he usually leave work?""There's no telling. Sometimes early, sometimes late—there were occasions where he stayed overnight," the receptionist replied.The man was really giving it his all, was he not? It was hardly surprising that the company developed so rapidly."I see. Thank you," Cordy said politely."You're welcome."Cordy left the front desk bu

Robin quickly nodded. He certainly had to agree that SYX was a little depraved since they were too rich.Nonetheless, he asked, "Are we going to keep waiting for their CEO?"Cordy glanced at her watch, wondering if the man was really that hardworking.She really doubted he would work overnight and therefore said resolutely, "Yeah." Robin had no choice but to stick with his boss.-Soon, it was 11 PM.On the top floor, Randy reported, "Ms. Sachs is still waiting, Mr. Levine."John smiled—she really was as tenacious as ever."Should we keep her waiting?" Randy asked. "The air-conditioning downstairs is in full force, and it's getting cold at this hour…"John looked up at him, and he quickly said, "I'll ask someone to set it warmer."However, John suddenly said, "Show her upstairs.""Really?""Take her to the waiting room."What a difficult boss. "And make sure the room temperature is just right. Bring her fruit, snacks, warm milk—""Yes, Mr. Levine." Randy promptly left

John stayed calm and said, "Yeah, I am."Cordy realized with a start then and snorted coolly, "So you were playing me? Was it that fun?""You must have misunderstood, Ms. Sachs. I wasn't avoiding you, but my schedule was packed full and your visit had been sudden," John said before beckoning at Randy. "Please show Ms. Sachs my schedule for the day—""I don't mean today," Cordy growled through her teeth, working hard to make herself stay calm.She was willing to believe that John did not have time the whole day, since he would definitely be very busy with his company, which was expanding into multiple territories simultaneously. What she wanted to ask was something else instead. "You deliberately arranged for the shopping center to reshuffle the leases, didn't you?""It was deliberate, yes," John admitted."You.""But that's not an orchestrated effort against you."Cordy merely stared at him, so he turned to Randy again. "Bring our project plan for KPW.""Yes, Mr. Levine."R

John could barely exert much strength with his right hand, and he was so busy he almost forgot that he was half a patient.His doctor did insist that he rest frequently and attend rehabilitation sessions regularly.-The next day, Cordy was working in her office at Starstream Group when Robin entered. "We just received a tip, Ms. Sachs…""What is it?""The CEO of SYX Corp is going to have dinner with Gareth Bryant tonight. He's the board chairman of Future Tech.""So?' Cordy asked, frowning—she was unusually irritated whenever John was mentioned."Well, Future Tech had been trying to gain a foothold here in North City with a physical outlet. They had one in a rather remote location, but performance has not been ideal for them. Recently, rumor has it that Gareth was trying to get a lease in KPW Shopping Center, but that went south too… Therefore, it's reasonable to speculate that he is having dinner with SYX's CEO to discuss a lease…"Cordy scowled, naturally understanding what

"Of course," Gareth quickly said, and he and Cordy promptly went into an endless discussion, leaving John neglected.And after dinner, both Cordy and Gareth were a little drunk, while John was perfectly sober.In fact, Gareth was starting to feel sick and left immediately with his assistant.Once he was gone, Cordy wanted to leave as well, only for Robin to whisper into her ear, "I'm sorry, Ms. Sachs, but our car broke down and was sent for repairs. Just wait for a moment—I'm calling for another car.""If you don't mind, Ms. Sachs, I can give you a ride," John said then."No." Cordy refused right away.But with that, John did not press the issue and turned to leave with Randy.Along the way, Randy could not resist speaking up again. "You could have insisted on giving Ms. Sachs a ride, Mr. Levine. It's an opportunity to earn her favor.""You wouldn't get it," John told him, grinning.Randy was of the opinion that John was the one who did not.-Meanwhile, Cordy was left with
