Apple felt betrayed when she discovered that Adrian actually took Jayden with him when he came to hand her the object she asked for.
"I had to get his approval to be able to take these tools and there's no way I'd lie." That was the reason Adrian gave Apple when she asked why Jayden was there too. Then he casually added, "I like this job more than you."
Hearing that, Apple rolled her eyes dramatically. "Yeah, same here." And after saying that, Apple walked over to the car, where she found Jayden sitting leisurely.
The man was smiling sweetly at Apple while waving his hand, while in his lap was a box of lunch from a restaurant she liked.
"Miss me?" he asked in a deep and seductive voice, while Adrian preferred to be outside the car to protect his eyes and his sanity from the interaction between the two of them.
"Not really." Apple shrugged nonchalantly as she got in the car and sat down next to Jayden. She then saw the food box that was on the man's lap and intended to take it.
However, Jayden swiftly protected the food box from her wandering hands.
"Didn't you bring that for me?" asked Apple, her eyes glaring at Jayden in confusion.
"I brought it for someone who misses me," Jayden replied, slightly petty, as he kept the box of food out of Apple's reach.
Watching Jayden's antics, Apple laughed. He could be so childish and annoying at the same time.
"I'm serious." Jayden didn't laugh with Apple, his face showing the seriousness of what he just said. "I know you're beautiful and charming when you laugh, especially with the make-up and clothes you're wearing now. But, I won't waver. I will only give this food to people who miss me."
"Okay, I missed you, now may I have my lunch?" she asked as she tried to retrieve her lunch box again, but Jayden brushed her off and glared at her.
"I can't believe what you said. After all, it doesn't sound sincere at all."
Apple then smiled at the man who was sulking in front of her. She then leaned in and kissed Jayden's cheek. "Now may I have my lunch?"
"Just one kiss on the cheek?" Jayden raised his eyebrows questioningly, as if what Apple had just done was an insult to him.
Apple then kissed Jayden's other cheek, but the man still shook his head and made her a little annoyed, therefore, Apple pulled Jayden closer by placing her hand behind Jayden's neck and kissing his lips.
But, during the kiss, Apple's other hand grabbed the food box that Jayden was holding and snatched it away easily because Jayden didn't fight back at all.
"Yay, I got it!" cried Apple as she pushed Jayden away from her after she got what she wanted.
"Don't you think you're a little rude, even heartless to me?" Jayden grumbled while wiping his pursed lips.
Apple then laughed and reached out her hand to wipe off the remaining lipstick on Jayden's lips and then proceeded to open her lunch box. Her smile was so cheerful when she found the dishes she liked.
Of course, Jayden knew what dishes she liked the best.
Then casually, Apple ate the food, while Jayden took a deep-fried shrimp which warranted a fierce glare from Apple.
"That's my food," she stated, as if Jayden had just committed a criminal act.
"Do you want to share?" Jayden placed the shrimp between his lips, bit the tip of the shrimp slightly and leaned in.
Jayden thought Apple wouldn't take the bait, but he was wrong, because after that this girl leaned in and took the shrimp back with her lips and ate it straight away.
"Don't steal my food," Apple said with a laugh when she saw Jayden's surprised expression.
"You actually turned out to be really bold," Jayden said, but he was so happy to hear Apple's soothing laugh and kissed her cheek.
While Apple ate, Jayden checked the incoming emails on his cell phone. He didn't bother the girl who was eating while humming.
Therefore, a few minutes in the car were only filled with Apple humming, while the man couldn't tell what song she was singing.
It was only after Apple closed her empty meal box that Jayden closed his emails and put away his cell phone.
"So, what are you asking for these tools for?" Jayden asked straight to the point.
He shifted his body and picked up the empty box of food that Apple had eaten and pushed it into the front seat, then handed her a bottle of cold beverage so they could talk more seriously.
"I suspect Ivan," said Apple directly, she then drank her beverage and looked at Jayden. "Maybe I'm being too paranoid after some of the events that happened in the last few days."
Jayden shook his head.
"No, I don't think you're being paranoid. It is better to be safe than sorry, right?" Jayden said.
"Well..." Apple said slowly. "I'm not sure if I'm correct, but I feel something was indeed strange with Ivan."
Apple then told Jayden about how Ivan found out about their vacation to the island, which she didn't tell anyone beforehand. Hell, she didn't even know where she was going until Jayden took her to the Tordoff family's private airstrip.
Then his sudden decision to work in this company while he had his own photo studio and had his own team. According to Apple, this was all very strange, because as far as Apple knew, Ivan was very proud of his photo studio.
So it was almost impossible for him to leave the photo studio to focus on being a worker in the same field.
"Maybe I'm overthinking this stuff," Apple said, but she couldn't shake off the feeling.
Meanwhile, Jayden listened to what Apple had to say with a serious face. In the end, he said quietly and calmly, "You don't have to worry, I'll take care of this matter and find out what really happened."
