Chapter 1204


    Cordy raised a brow. “Tonight? Not the weekend?”


    “You’re the boss,” Zoe told her. “You have a say on your own work hours.”


    Cordy sighed, but it had been a while since Zoe asked her out like this. “Why tonight? It seems


    unprecedented.”

    “Jay left on a business trip,” Zoe eximed excitedly.


    Cordy was speechless. “You’re not afraid of upsetting him, huh?”


    “He won’t be upset if it’s you,” Zoe quickly said. “And Quinn missed out on that dinner before, so she


    can make up for it now.”


    “Fine, but I might bete. I’m taking stock of the share markets in the afternoon, so that might take a


    while.”


    “It’s no issue,” Zoe said generously. “We’ll wait.”


    “Yeah.”


    Cordy put down her phone, rubbing her temples wearily just then.


    She had been burning out a little from worktely, so it was time she rxed.


    Hence, Cordy kept the meetings for the day short and headed straight to the destination Zoe told her


    about after work.


    It was the same old—a private room for just the three of them, and getting drunk was inevitable


    whenever Zoe was involved.


    To make things worse, they were already drunk, but Zoe still insisted on dragging them along to a


    karaoke bar.


    Quinn tried to reason that it was veryte, but Zoe was relentless.


    Quinn turned toward Cordy for help, and Cordy could agree that it was veryte for them to stay.


    And yet…


    Fine, Cordy could admit that she had wanted to vent a little.


    “Let’s just hang out a little longer,” she said.


    Quinn was stunned, since she was convinced Cordy would not y along.


    And since two of them were going, she had to tag along.


    There, they booked yet another private room and started singing while drinking—mostly drinking.


    But while they drank themselves silly, Zoe suddenly asked, “Have you been feeling stressedtely,


    Cordy?”


    “What?” Cordy frowned, convinced that she did not let it show.


    “Right?” Zoe pressed, a confident look showing on her face.


    “Not really. Maybe I’ve just been feeling a little pressure since my workload is burgeoning.”


    “Oh, I don’t think so.” Zoe smiled sinisterly.


    Cordypletely ignored her. “I need the washroom.”


    “Yeah, run away.” Zoe snorted, even more confident of her hunch then.


    “What, you don’t need the washroom after drinking so much?” Cordy snapped in exasperation and


    turned to leave the private room.


    But as she closed the door, she could clearly hear Zoe exim, “There’s a washroom right here! You’re


    just trying to avoid the issue!”


    Cordy shut the door and leaned against it for a moment as she sighed.


    She was a bad liar, but she was convinced that things were not what Zoe presumed them to be either.


    However, she was definitely a little drunk, and she needed a breather.


    She started heading to the washroom but had barely walked a few steps when she noticed a familiar


    figure in the hallway.


    Said figure was clinging tightly to a man’s body, and they were kissing each other fiercely.


    While it was natural to run into such sights at the bar and other entertainment centers, Wendy was still


    supposed to be still in a rtionship.


    How could she be this carefree? Was she not afraid of getting caught in the act?!
