A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 218

Zoe sat calmly in her MPV even as Penny kept rambling on beside her. “Those ingrates, turning coats as soon as Mandy bought them some snacks! Don’t they remember that you’ve been treating them to tea every other day? Put together, that’s way more than what it cost Mandy! And why won’t you let me scold them, Zoe? Badmouthing us behind our backs… it’s outrageous!”

“Their mouths are theirs. They can say whatever they like,” Zoe told Penny.

Penny pouted. “But they’re also questioning your relationship with Jay..

“And they’re right,” Zoe said flatly-she never looked at Jay directly unless she had to.

Penny had more to say but Zoe cut her short. “I need to leave early today, so I’ll be putting you down at the junction ahead. Take a faxi home-you can claim the fare from Linda.”

“Okay.” Penny nodded, earnestly finding Zoe a kind soul right then.

After all, was there any other celebrity who gave their assistant a ride home?!
