A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 8
As John's eyes twitched, Randy continued, "Noel Sachs was supposed to be appointed as CEO, but was left downtrodden after Ms. Sachs crashed her party. I wonder if things would go smoothly for Ms. Sachs after she took over, however, since Simon Sachs and Noel were in charge all this while."Randy then noticed his boss tapping his long fingers on his desk intermittently.Cordy must be special to him, or he would not have risked his life to save her from the fire. However, John had always been distant toward women, but that somehow changed right after he returned to North City.Still, Randy would never dare to pry into his boss's private affairs, and he simply stuck with the man's preferences. "Should I try to smooth things out for her quietly, sir?" John was quiet for a movement. "She went in alone and managed to claim ownership over the entire company. That means she knows what she's doing—that means we should trust her.""Of course, sir," Randy replied respectfully.He thought

After a while, Randy told John it was time for the meeting, and John left his office. Kyle—who had been waiting in the guest room—watched as all the executives walked past from behind the glass wall."Is that Mr. Levine?" Kyle asked.Debbie glanced at the people outside and quickly said, "Yes, Mr. Levine is on his way to a board meeting."Kyle lowered his teacup and studied the people outside, and Randy just happened to turn around.Kyle quickly smiled and nodded at Randy in greeting.Although Randy was frowning, he nodded politely and followed John into the elevator.Randy certainly did not know that Kyle could not see John from his perspective, only that everyone else was walking behind Randy.Kyle returned to his seat in turn to wait for 'John.'Levine Ventures would soon be establishing the biggest commerce guild in the world in North City, with a building to be completed soon. Since Jessop Corp's main business was high fashion and they were looking to get involved in ele

"Reserved?" Noel exclaimed in shock. "It's only 6 pm! Has there been a mistake there?""There isn't. I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave.""Why? We haven't finished our food!" Mandy snapped—ever self-important, this naturally left her furious."There's no reason in particular. You're just not welcome in this premises.""Don't you know who I am?!""No, I don't," the waiter replied plainly."You don't know who Mandy is? She's a top star and the heiress to Jessop Ventures." Noel name-dropped beside them."Oh," the waiter said, but he remained cold as ever. "This way please, Ms. Jessop." Mandy and Noel were both left gritting their teeth in rage, but just as they got to their feet to leave, they suddenly saw Cordy sitting at the next table.What was she doing there?!They soon noticed the man and child with Cordy as well.Despite her pride, Mandy was instantly bewitched by John's sheer beauty.She was left wondering when someone that handsome existed in North City—not even t

They did not hang around after dinner—John sent Richard home to his babysitter first before returning to the car and sending Cordy home."You didn't have to go through so much trouble, Mr. Levine. I can actually take a taxi home," Cordy said politely."It's no trouble," John said flatly. "I'm not driving anyway."Despite what he said, the chauffeur felt a little awkward and thought that he should just disappear just then.Cordy could not say anything against it either. The journey back to North Garden was quiet.As Cordy opened the door, she remained sluggish since walking with crutches was really inconvenient. Naturally, John could walk around the car and help her up in a gentlemanly fashion just as she got out.Cordy held her tongue, and she said gratefully, "Thank you.""You're welcome," John said as he helped her out. Cordy started to limp away until she suddenly paused, looking him in the eye and saying, "Mr. Levine.""Yes?""What they said was true," she said, her vo

Mandy almost jumped. "What?!"The other Jessops were starting to get annoyed with her antics, but Mandy's eyes went red right after her call with her manager ended. She had been drifting along the lines of becoming a B-list actress, and that TV series was supposed to solidify her status as one!"What now?" Kyle asked impatiently."My manager called me, saying that the investors want another actress for my role."Kyle frowned. "If I remember correctly, it's Windmill Pictures, which Levine Ventures own, right? Did you upset anyone from their family?" "No way! I don't even know them!" Mandy quickly denied it and cried in agitation, "I don't care what it takes, Kyle—get that role for me! It's important for my career!"Kyle was puzzled too—casting choices would not be changed once decided.Still, he suddenly remembered a little detail. "I heard that Bob Davis and John Levine were childhood friends, and that they remained very good friends although John usually stays abroad. Mayb

"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
