A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 737

Zoe headed into the washroom, every fiber of her being aggravated.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror, which had not much in the way of makeup or jewelry.

She did not like putting on makeup personally since she spent so much time on stage with thick makeup, and she therefore preferred a clear face.

To be honest, she had no idea why Arthur was interested in her—she was neither the prettiest nor the most talkative thespian present.

Could it be because she had no influence?

Zoe splashed her face with cold water then.

She knew all too well that if she spurned Arthur's advances, she would be dismissed by the next stage and had no chance to hope otherwise.

After all, showbiz was a web of influence—one misstep and her career would suffer indefinitely.

But if she did not reject him…

She had a hard time ignoring her conscience.

She never thought she would have to assume this path since she started out in showbiz.

Zoe did a double take—he knew Arthur was putting the moves on her?

She suddenly laughed with much irony. "And how are you going to help? Are you going to tell Arthur that I won't play his game, while I end up doing nothing but watch my career be put on ice again?!"

"Trust me. I can help you keep your showbiz career—"

"Trust you?" Zoe laughed. "I'll be honest, Jay—I can trust everyone in the world but you."

Jay scowled, but she continued her icy rant. "I only find disappointment each time I pin my hopes on you—tell me, what can I trust you with? We kissed one day, and the next day you're swapping spit with another woman! Then, right after we did it, you could just disappear without a trace! Am I a toy to you, Jay Parker?"
