Chapter 535 BYE
Chapter 535 BYE
It took Apple a few days to finish her work with Ivan and finally return to city A, but when she was about to check out of the hotel and was in the lobby sitting next to Rachel, Ivan’s lover, the woman suddenly gasped.
“What is it?” Apple asked when she heard Rachel’s loud gasp and then began to look around.
Apple suspected something extraordinary had happened, or at least something very dramatic, but what she found was Jayden Tordoff walking toward her.
“That’s… Jayden Tordoff,” Rachel whispered in a panicked voice.
Well, Rachel didn’t need to tell Apple, because she was all too well used to that arrogant style of outfit and gait of his.
“Yeah, I guess that iss him,” Apple muttered, but her lips curved into a smile as Jayden smiled at her. She doesn’t know why his smile is so contagious.
But, next to Apple, Rachel was also smiling at Jayden, thinking that this Tordoff heir was smiling at her.
And as Jayden drew near, Rachel immediately stood up, as if she was about to greet Jayden with a beaming face and a huge smile.
“Mr. Tordoff,” Rachel said in her low, seductive voice, but Jayden didn’t respond.
There was only one person in Jayden’s eyes and that was Apple, so there was no way he was aware of what Rachel was trying to do now.
“Ready to go home?” Jayden asked, and looked at Apple, but there was a woman he didn’t recognize standing in his way, he didn’t think anything of it, but this woman was quite annoying and Jayden was a little surprised when it was this woman who answered his question. “I’m here to pick you up.”
“You came to pick me up?” Rachel again gasped when she heard Jayden’s answer.
“Pardon me?” Jayden glanced at Rachel and this made the girl blush while she frowned in confusion.
It was only then that Apple stood up and lightly patted Rachel’s shoulder as she explained to her.
“Jayden meant to come pick me up,” Apple corrected Rachel. She smiled and could see her red face, but not from blushing, but from the embarrassment she was trying to hide.
Rachel had completely forgotten that Apple was Jayden’s lover, because she didn’t look so luxurious and comparable to be the lover of someone like Jayden Tordoff.
“Oh, I am sorry, I didn’t realize that earlier,” Rachel mumbled, tucking her hair behind her ear and looking like a teenage girl caught staring at her crush, Apple grimaced slightly at this.
Her relationship with Rachel is not very good. And after the night she stayed at the hotel together with Jayden, this woman kept asking questions that made Apple uncomfortable and kept wanting to know when Jayden would visit her again.
However, after a few days Jayden didn’t come and the communication between them wasn’t too intense because Apple and Jayden were both busy with their respective jobs, Rachel’s questions then led to something that insinuated that Apple was just Jayden’s side chick.
At that time, Apple just laughed it off and didn’t respond, while Ivan would apologize to her because his girlfriend had spoken so rudely, but Apple didn’t care about it at all.
Until finally all of Rachel’s questions stopped and she seemed to have decided that there was no connection between Apple and Jayden. As though the ‘Apple’ that was reported in the mass media was not the same ‘Apple’ that was with her at that time.
Reality hit her hard when she saw Jayden Tordoff himself picking up Apple on their return day.
“Mr. Tordoff, are you here to pick up Apple?” Rachel asked back in her attempt to start a conversation with Jayden Tordoff. Of course Rachel already knew the answer, because Jayden and Apple had already confirmed it.
The people in the hotel lobby didn’t seem to notice that Jayden Tordoff was there, and again the hotel lobby wasn’t packed with people.
“Yeah, he came to get me,” Apple replied. She then stepped past Rachel and kissed Jayden on the cheek in front of the woman.
Even when she did that, Apple didn’t understand why she did it, because of the display of affection that she showed to her was completely uncalled for, but she felt satisfaction from watching Rachel’s surprised expression.
On the other hand, Jayden didn’t think that Apple would kiss him, and of course every good thing has to have a payoff too right? Therefore, Jayden kissed Apple’s forehead gently and then pulled her away by her hand.
“Let’s go,” Jayden said and then led Apple away from there, ignoring Rachel altogether, treating her as if she didn’t even exist.
Apple then waved her hand at Rachel with a sweet smile and said, “bye…”
After the pair were a little further apart, Jayden pinched Apple’s cheek while whispering into her ear.
“What was that? Showing off?” Jayden didn’t look upset, he just liked what Apple was doing. He finds it funny and interesting.
“Kind of,” Apple said cheekily and then they both laughed softly, attracting the attention of those around them, as they passed through the lobby.
“Hadn’t I told you already, that there’s a lot to gain if you’re my girlfriend,” Jayden reminded Apple.
“Well, I am just starting to adapt well to my new status.” Apple then got in the car, while Jayden sat next to her and asked the driver to drive them away.
“You will adapt well. Don’t worry.” Jayden tousled Apple’s hair lightly. “I am here to tell you that the day after tomorrow there is a big Tordoff family event and I’d like you to come with me.”
Apple’s facial expression immediately turned tense when she heard this. “What do you mean Tordoff’s big family event? Who will come?”
“The whole Tordoff family,” Jayden replied lightly, unaware of the stress he had put Apple in.
“Not just your parents?” she asked in horror.
“Not just my parents,” Jayden replied. “The whole family will be there.”
