A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 13
"John…""I'm sorry I was late," John said.Cordy frowned, wondering if she was imagining it.Somehow, this John was different from the usual John, who was more aloof. Now, he seemed to feel emotions like humans do.Still, she wiggled against his hold, not sure what he was talking about. "Did you get the wrong door? Let me go…" Seemingly not feeling her resistance, John whispered into Cordy's ear, "Now, I'll always be here for you."It sounded just like a promise. "Look, just… ah!" Cordy suddenly yelped as John abruptly scooped her up in his arms. Did he have some fetish for carrying people?!"You'd hurt your leg," John said quietly into her ear just then.Cordy was left speechless.She actually thought that he was really drunk, but she somehow noticed her foot injury…So, he was actually not drunk?! Once that clicked, Cordy did not wait another moment, and she started to struggle violently!While John was not drunk, his body still felt a little floaty. Carrying

Kyle shielded Noel behind himself, looking utterly protective as he asked, "What are you doing here, Cordy?""To get my things," Cordy said coolly—she really was numb to this pair, since they were not worth getting upset over.Hence, she simply ignored their presence and walked straight to her desk, while asking Noel, "You really like hand-me-downs, huh? Why don't you get a new one instead?" The ambiguity of her words left Noel flushing, while Kyle tried to explain, "Noel is here to check out our fashion products for the new season. I only brought her here to visit your office—don't get the wrong idea.""Then what's the right idea? To see you and her in bed?" Cordy sneered."I'm talking about work, not my relationship with Noel. Don't get weird about this." Kyle pursed his lips, even adding generously, "Like I said yesterday—you can return anytime you want. I will keep your position here, as a way of compensation."Cordy actually laughed. Did he not understand that the only re

Noel was left feeling awkward right then. In reality, the mysterious Lovely who ranked first globally had retained her crown for three consecutive years. Noel was far from reaching her level, and it was by sheer luck that she had won fifth place last year.However, that was enough for her to become a miraculous being at Starstream, with every employee worshiping her blindly. Even so, Hank Rogers concluded among the murmurs of disapproval toward Cordy, "Why don't you just be a macro manager instead? It's easier for everyone." Noel was laughing to herself as Hank mocked Cordy openly. After all, she knew Cordy would not have it easy even after she reclaimed Starstream Group. Aside from Stephen Lang, everyone here was lapdogs to her and her father—they did not mind affording Cordy three months until she gave up."When I worked at Jessop Corp…" "Sure, they are designers of high fashion here in North City, but you only worked in PR back then." Hank continued to throw shade at Cor

It was now Cordy's fourth day at work.Things did not go smoothly like she thought, but it was not so bad that she could not manage. While the department heads did submit their respective department summaries after the meeting, it was perfunctory at best—Simon Sachs must have put them up to it.Fortunately, she had always stayed in touch with Stephen Lang, who constantly updated her on details about Starstream Group. She merely called the meeting to get a read on the department heads—that would make dealing with them easier down the road.Nonetheless, Cordy was scowling at the moment because she received a call from a number she hated. She waited until the very last moment before answering, and she was immediately scolded from the other end. "Not answering my calls?! Your mother never taught you manners, did she?!""Your call? Sounds more like a dog barking to me," Cordy scoffed."Did you just call me a dog?! You insolent little wretch! You'll get what's coming to you!" Plum L

Cordy did not humiliate Noel with their relatives watching.Still, she made sure to sit on the very edge of the couch, looking just like an outsider.That was when Molly Sachs asked her pointedly, "Cordy? You didn't bring your grandmother a present, huh?"Molly was Simon Sachs' younger sister, and her family worked for Simon when he ruled Starstream. She was very close to Sue Yorkman as well, and was instrumental in Sue's success in seducing Simon back then.Cordy was laughing inwardly, as she suddenly remembered that Mandy Jessop was also instrumental in Noel's success in seducing Kyle Jessop.Noel really inherited all the “best” traits, huh?"Who would want anything from her?" Plum scoffed with a look of pure disdain. "Just look at her. She literally screams poverty—she'd never afford anything!" "Don't say that, Granny. She just inherited Starstream Group, and the company has been developing in recent years. Also, I ran into her at Davis' Kitchen. Any dining session there wou

Simon was still under the impression that his relatives were all impressed by the video he put together, and he was relishing the thought until he noticed Plum glowering.Noel quickly dashed up the podium just then, anxiously pointing at the screen. "Dad, Dad…" Simon turned around and almost got a stroke when he saw what was playing on the screen.It was all records of his affair with Fiona Lamb!There were not just photos and videos either, but also records of their cringeworthy text conversations.It was such a thorough expose that Simon had zero dignity left!He eventually came to his senses after a long while and barked at the technician, "Shut it down! Shut it down!"Stunned, the technician quickly did as he was told, but everyone had already seen what they needed to see…"Who did this?! Who?!" Simon was bellowing in rage up at the podium.Below, Plum was turning pale from fury. It was her birthday party, but she somehow ended up thoroughly humiliated in front of all t

While Noel could not manage a comeback, Kyle stepped up. "Cordy Sachs, why are you being so hostile and cold? Noel just cares about you, and even if you're uncomfortable after our break up, we would still become in-laws eventually—""Kyle Jessop, how many times do I have to tell you that you give yourself too much credit? You hold no sway on me at all now, and my spite for Noel has nothing to do with you…"Cordy paused for a moment just then, and said, "Actually, it does—it stacks, so I hate you even more now.""Sis, you can say anything you like about me, but not Kyle—"Cordy simply turned to leave again before Noel could finish, and it certainly stung! Noel almost wanted to scream as she glared at Cordy from behind.Kyle was not doing any better, as he seemed even more insignificant to her! "Cordy Sachs!" Simon suddenly showed up and barked at her as well.Cordy pursed her lips, but she turned around despite her impatience. She knew all too well she would not get a clea

Cordy paused and studied Bryson for a moment.He was on the pudgy side, and his face so plain there was nothing worth noting. "Do you even know who I am?! I am a top executive working at Levine Ventures, and I draw a six-figure salary each year!" While Bryson continued his angry rant slash brag, Cordy clicked her tongue at him and left without a care. Bryson watched in confusion as she walked away—he was convinced that Cordy should be throwing herself into his arms given who he was.But she did not seem to care!In reality, Bryson was not that interested in her at first, but he could not turn down the Sachs since they carried influence in North City. However, when he saw Cordy in person, he was stunned to find her so much more beautiful than her photo! With that pretty face, he would be fine with just a tryst even if he did not marry her!While he grinned sinisterly, Cordy was still heading toward the front gates, intent on leaving and certainly not in the mood to find out
