A Life Debt Repaid

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.
