Chapter 685: UNDER STRESS
Once out of the room, he took out his cell phone and called someone. “Richard?” called Ramon when the person on the other end of the line had picked up the call. “I want you to do something for me.”
The person on the other end of the phone listened carefully to what Ramon had to say to him, while Ramon Tordoff walked toward the front door, where a car was waiting for him. He didn’t need to say much, as the car drove away the second he got on board.
Meanwhile, Richard, the man who was on the phone with Ramon, was telling him about complicated matters, but explaining them as briefly as possible.
“We’ll keep an eye on it, but if something happens and things get out of hand, we have to move closer, you understand?”
“Yes, I understand Mr. Tordoff,” he answered solemnly, then the line was cut off. Now, it was just a matter of awaiting what would happen after this.
“Drive faster,” Ramon ordered as he put away his cell phone.
“Okay, Mr. Tordoff,” said the driver obediently, he then drove the car even faster.
Meanwhile, Ramon leaned his back against the back of the car seat and stared out, into the darkness of the night, his eyes so bright and seemed to hide a lot of mystery behind them.
However, there was one thought that kept bothering him, namely; he had to come back before Hailee woke up because he didn’t want to explain where he went last night and make her worry.
Therefore, he had to finish this as quickly as possible and he hoped that Jayden’s plan would go smoothly without any hiccups.
========================
Apple opened her eyes and looked around in the dark. She then turned around and stared at the ceiling.
Huh. She couldn’t sleep.
How could she sleep in this condition when Jayden was in danger out there? She couldn’t sleep in this situation without knowing what would happen to Jayden.
Apple then took her cell phone and thought of calling Jayden, but then she rejected the idea. Because she knew in an operation like this, it was impossible for Jayden to activate his cellphone.
Even if he didn’t turn it off, Apple didn’t want Jayden to have his attention divided just because he picked up a call from her.
Apple was feeling awry right now, she just wanted to know how Jayden was and make sure he was okay.
“Ugh! I can’t sleep because I’m too tense,” Apple grumbled. She then got out of bed and went out of the room to get a drink. She hoped this long night would end soon and Jayden would call her in the morning.
But, still, this did not make Apple feel any calmer. She then finished the water in the glass and filled it again and then finished it again, but this didn’t help at all and she was very frustrated.
“Ah… that sucks…” Apple grumbled. She then walked toward the door and saw two bodyguards guarding her house. The two bodyguards were in a car with tinted windows, but Apple knew they were there, because it had become a routine and she knew all of this by heart.
Therefore, having nothing to do and since she felt very uncomfortable to be in the room, Apple then got out, went to the bodyguard’s car and knocked on the window.
One of those sitting by that window immediately lowered the glass and greeted Apple in a friendly manner.
“Can I help you?” he asked immediately. “Is there anything you need?”
At this point, they must have been told that Apple was pregnant, so this was how they reacted to it.
“It’s all right, can you open the back seat door?” asked Apple in a cheery voice. The night air was a little chilly and she was not wearing a jacket. After all, she had no intention of going out of the house earlier.
“Oh, okay…” said the two bodyguards in a panic and then immediately unlocked the back door and let Apple in.
They didn’t know what Apple wanted. At first, they thought Apple just wanted them to buy something because she was craving something.
“Is there anything you want to eat?” one of them asked the same, concernedly, but Apple just laughed and waved her hand.
“Mrs. Tordoff has made me a lot of food, I’m full,” Apple said softly. She had to talk softly like this because she wanted something from them. “But, I need help from you guys,” said Apple, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.
“What’s that? We will help as much as we can,” they said excitedly. Of course, they would help. Who would refuse Jayden Tordoff’s woman’s request?
“I wonder how the mission went,” Apple said in a coy voice. “Could you call a guy over there and ask him to tell us how the mission went?”
Apple felt that she couldn’t do anything until she found out for herself what was going on in the mission. This might sound stupid and unreasonable, but she couldn’t calm down without knowing anything.
On the other hand, when they heard that, of course the two of them immediately looked for an excuse. “You should rest and just believe that the mission will go well, after all Mr. Tordoff has worked out this plan well.”
However, Apple was not accepting rejections at this time. She then leaned back against the back of the seat and folded her arms.
“No, I want to hear a report now,” said Apple very stubbornly, her charade of being nice earlier had now completely disappeared and she looked like a woman who would swallow you whole if you refused this one request.
“But, Apple… we can’t do that, Mr. Tordoff said that we shouldn’t stress you out,” said one of the bodyguards, who seemed to be asking for understanding from Apple.
“You’re actually stressing me out right now by refusing my request,” she said.
