A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 55
At 2 pm, Cordy arrived with Vince at a location in the suburbs, where Jay and Zoe were filming the series. Since it was a period drama, they built a castle town as a prop. One of the film crew members led her to Jay, who was sitting behind a large video camera and directing the shooting.He turned to Cordy and politely nodded for a moment before returning his attention to work.Cordy did not disturb him and she simply sat nearby to watch them work—at the moment, Zoe and the male lead, Hal Abbott, were in position in preparation for the next scene. "Scene 3, sequence 1, take 1. Action!" Zoe was abruptly cornered by Hal against the wall, their eyes fixed upon each other.It was Cordy's first time watching professionals film a scene, and she was impressed—especially by the expressiveness in Zoe's eyes.In the next instant, Hal's lips started to close in on Zoe's.There was a struggling look in Zoe's eyes before she quietly closed her eyes, giving in.A tear trickled down the

Cordy took a deep breath.She had always kept business and pleasure separate.Looking down at the message notification popping on her phone, she decided to ignore it.-John was sitting in the executive office of the Levine Ventures branch over at Rocktown.He scowled at his phone, which was not jingling at all. Randy Martin was standing beside him, too afraid to even say a word.It was not as if things were bad—in fact, the sudden inspection to the branch here revealed that every operation and project was showing more than satisfactory performance.Even so, his boss was glowering with bloodlust."Randy.""Sir?""Book the earliest flight tomorrow. We're going back to North City.""Don't we have an appointment with that key figure in this city?" Randy pointed out—since they were here for the inspection, they had set up meetings with any clients or potential partners as well."We'll leave in the evening," John said, correcting himself.But he was going back tomorrow one w

Hal and Zoe finally kissed, and the camera zoomed down from wide-angle to a close-up… which clearly captured Hal pushing his tongue into Zoe's mouth.Zoe did a double take, and her fists were clenching harder.However, she stayed still until Jay barked, "Cut!"And with that, Zoe immediately pushed Hal away.The actor certainly knew why Zoe was upset, but he could not help it—she was beautiful, and her lips were irresistibly soft!He might even have kept going if the director had not yelled cut and if Zoe did not push him away.Nonetheless, Zoe turned and started to stride off without caring if the take was good.Hal quickly chased after her. "Zoe."Zoe wheeled on him, her expression icy."I'm sorry, I just…" Hal apologized, and growled through his teeth, "The director told me to get into it so that it's more believable, so that we'd get further into character…"Still, Zoe smirked and asked, "Jay Parker told you to use your tongue?"Hal realized right then that Zoe was in a t

As such, Cordy did not drag her feet and went straight to the point. "Since you've been honest, Ms. York, I shall do the same. You may not know that Starstream Group was under my father's charge before this, but I've recently taken over… So, what I'm saying is that while the Starstream Fashion designs were bland before, that won't be the case now or in the future. Here are the templates for our designs next season, please take a look."Zoe studied Cordy then.While she did not know much about Cordy, she had heard the rumors about her, and all the drama revolving around her. She had come to believe that Cordy was reliant on men, since she and Kyle were an item when she returned to North City.But Cordy's words were certainly enough to change Zoe's opinion of her—she was competent, direct, and knew how to stand her ground.In the end, the rumors were just… rumors. Zoe took the tablet that Cordy held out to her then, her eyes immediately lighting up when she saw the templates. Hav

It was past 11 pm when the three ladies were done drinking and started to leave. "Let me take you home," Cordy's vision was blurred as well, but she thought that she should give them a ride home considering that she brought them out here."Burp…" Zoe belched, and she was seeing stars as well. "It's alright. Quinn can take me home since we're going the same way."With that, Zoe dragged Quinn along and left the room.Cordy quickly followed them.Although they were all drunk, they were not at the level they would lose control—Quinn seemed especially sober as well.Cordy always had self-control, but considering that today was her first meeting with Zoe, she naturally had to play along since Zoe was a real alcoholic. She could not seem to stop after the first glass, but Quinn somehow remained controlled despite Zoe's crazy streak.Cordy walked with them until they entered a black sedan before returning to Walter's sedan. She reclined over her seat, her stomach a misery.She stared

After Jay put Zoe to bed, he did not leave immediately. He lowered his gaze, staring at her cheeks that were flushed from excess alcohol, and her red, moist lips. He suddenly remembered the scene of her filming that kiss…His Adam's apple bobbed, and he placed his long fingers on her lips, gently rubbing it as if wiping filth off it. He did so solemnly for a long while, until her lips were almost swollen red.When he lifted his finger, he leaned downward ever so slightly, but straightened himself at the very next instant and left.He shut the door behind himself, and therefore could not see a trail of tears quietly trickling down the sleeping beauty's face. -Cordy was feeling a slight headache.Going to work with a hangover was utter misery.Zoe was too good a drinker, whereas she had thrown up the entire night, the world almost turning upside down for her.As she drank some black coffee to clear her head, Vince was politely reporting, "Ms. Sachs? The contract is ready.

Cordy complained, "I was asleep.""Sorry for waking you." John apologized.Even so, she never did feel any sincerity from any of his apologies—as if he said it just for the sake of saying it."Is there a problem?""Just wanted to tell you that I'm back.""Got it," Cordy said coolly, adding when she noticed his exhausted appearance, "You could've texted me. You didn't have to come all the way here.""I thought your phone was dead," he replied, clearly accusing her of not replying to his texts."I've been busy." Cordy simply came up with an excuse. "Cordy…""It's late, go home," Cordy said, cutting him short right then. "I have work tomorrow."As John swallowed his words, she finished, "Goodbye."With that, she shut the door in his face, and he was left staring at the closed door. He was right—he was not imagining it.Cordy was deliberately avoiding him.But he never did anything out of line that other night… In fact, his intuition told him that Cordy was starting to acce

And with those words, Cordy strode out of the conference room without looking back, imposing as ever.Fabian did not expect that he, a man in his forties, would be threatened by a twenty-something brat!He quickly called Simon to report the situation."Ignore her. Just do what I tell you," Simon said, still thinking nothing of Cordy at all. "I'll cover for you if anything happens.""Yes, Mr. Sachs."Fabian smiled evilly then.He did not mind waiting and seeing how long Cordy would last!-Cordy brought Vince to Starstreams' production plant, even as she wondered why the workers would go on a strike out of the blue.The plant was in the outskirts of North City, and the journey was long—they only arrived in the afternoon.However, Cordy did not stop for lunch and went inside right away to meet Dean Longman, the factory chief.Like Fabian, Dean had no respect toward Cordy at all. It went without saying they were both in league with Simon."I heard that our new board chairman i
