A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386

[What?!]

Quinn could feel Zoe's surprise even from the other end.

There was a long pause, before Zoe added: [You're not really sucking up to that dirtbag, are you?]

[Not entirely.]

[That's better.]

[His parents want us to have a child.]

[...That's why you're trying to suit his tastes?]

[The Saunders have always been nice to me.]

[Really?!]

Zoe was speechless, but Quinn did not bother to explain-she was just convinced that if she could accept it, resistance was unnecessary.

Still, Zoe suddenly changed the subject. [I heard from Bob that Ryan's back.]

Quinn replied, [Yeah. He just touched down yesterday, and attended Sam's birthday.]

[And you...]

[I'm over him. I'm not lying-sure, I'd feel the occasional emotion, but time really seems to mend everything. There's times when I feel stressed, but I'm somehow very calm when I face him directly.]

[Does time really change everything?]

Zoe's question was posed to Quinn as much as to herself.

Quinn replied earnestly: [Well, that's how it is for me.]

Still, she suddenlyremembered something and quickly sent another text: [ We're straying from topic. You hadn't answered my question.]

[Okay.]

There was suddenly a knock on Quinn's door, and she said, "Come in."

Another woman entered and told her, "The board chairman wants to see you, Miss Summer."

"Okay," Quinn replied, and hurried out of the office with her, without turning off her chatbox with Zoe.

On the other end, Zoe had a look through everything that fit Quinn, and was so concentrated that she never noticed Bob showing up behind her.

It almost gave her a heart attack.

"I wasn't trying to scare you," Bob explained. "You were so focused, you never saw me when I walked past you."

Zoe said nothing, and merely glared at him.

It lasted for a while, but things soon got awkward when they heard faint moaning.
