A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 344

Bob whipped out the stack of cash he had, appearing a little grumpy. "Well, I only have three grand. That's it."

"I need forty," Zoe said, ultimately giving in.

"Just hold on. I'll gather the money."

Bob did not say another word, let alone ask her what the money was for as he promptly called all his friends to get the cash, even if it was a rarity in this day and age.

In fact, Bob had to make over ten calls and drive around the city to take the cash from his friends.

Eventually, they gathered the forty grand Zoe needed and had to keep the cash in a large sack.

"Is that really all you need?" Bob asked her just then, as if worried it was not enough.

"Yes," Zoe replied.

"'I'll make a direct withdrawal tomorrow once my bank opens tomorrow," Bob quickly said.

"You don't have to—"

"I'm a very generous financier," Bob said regally.

He was on the plump side, but he was still somewhat good looking. His casual wear only made him appear even more of a manchild and naturally affable and way less regal then he made himself out to be.

Zoe smiled in amusement. "Thank you, your grace. Look, I know you're just being nice, but I don't know when I can ever pay you back. I promise I'll pay back when I can—"

"Did you think I was kidding?" Bob asked, suddenly seriously just then.

Zoe stared at him.

He wasn't?!

But if he was serious… What respectable girl would ever get kinky with a buddy?!

Even that kiss just now… It lasted a while, but there was no tongue involved!

"I'm f*cking serious here," Bob growled grumpily right then.

"Really? You can really lay a finger on a buddy?" Zoe joked.

"That's what you think of me. I've never thought of you that way!"

Bob stared at her nervously then. "W-Well… Is that a deal?"

"I've already been paid, haven't I?" Zoe pointed out.

Bob beamed right then.

His appearance had always been youthful, and now he looked like an overgrown boy who just had his first encounter in love.

It gave Zoe a warm and fuzzy feeling for some reason.

Still, she remembered something just then and checked the time before quickly saying, "I need to go home now."

"Oh, right." Bob appeared wistful and crestfallen right then.

"Look, we can move in together tomorrow," Zoe said bluntly. "I just have other stuff to do right now."

"A-Ahem!" Bob actually choked from the straight ball!

Even if Zoe never had been involved in a relationship, she had been working in showbiz for years and had gotten accustomed to all the convoluted affairs it involved. That was why she could always stay open-minded about it.
