"Damn it! Damn it!" Derek kept cursing the whole way he headed to Gladys' apartment for the second time tonight. And once there, he opened his cell phone with the intention of calling Gladys, to coax her into talking to him.
Only to find he had been blocked by most of his friends he made through Gladys and was also removed from the chat group.
At this point, Derek realized that he had lost all the connections he had built during his time with Gladys.
Derek thought how easy it was for him to make acquaintances when he was with the girl, especially from important families in city A. They used to be very nice, friendly even and wanted to be friends with him.
One thing that would be difficult for you to do with a family background like Derek's. He thought they really wanted to be friends with him, because for the past year and a half, they had been friendly with him.
Therefore, Derek never thought that they would block him like this and only really realized that all the privileges he got were because he was Gladys Tordoff's boyfriend.
If it weren't for Gladys, then of course they would have thrown him away like this long back without a second thought.
"Damn it!" Derek continued to curse. He looked at the four large boxes in front of Gladys' apartment door which contained all his belongings.
He did plan to live together with her, having finished his study abroad and his belongings only arrived a few days ago, therefore, almost all of them were still in the boxes.
"Gladys," Derek called, banging on her apartment door. "I know that you are inside, please open the door for a moment, let us talk. I can explain all that, it's not what you think."
At this point, Derek didn't know what he was talking about, he promised everything just to be able to talk to Gladys, but the girl didn't open the door for him at all. She no longer cared about him.
Derek had no idea that Gladys could turn a hundred and eighty degrees like this and it was so terrifying. He had not prepared himself for something like this to happen.
"Glady, please. I will not go until you open the door for me." Derek became stubborn and chose to lean against the wall, while waiting for Gladys to open the door. There was no way she would stay in the apartment without going out for days.
Therefore, this was the only way for Derek to meet her.
======================
Apple walked away from Misha and Jayden when she received a call from Gladys and the first thing she heard was; this girl was sobbing pitifully.
"What is it?" asked Apple, a little worried if something happened to her.
"Derek was at my apartment door and didn't want to leave. He keeps saying he loves me and want to apologize to me and that it's all just a misunderstanding." Gladys said in a voice that sounded too nasal from crying.
Apple really wanted to facepalm herself because of what Gladys said. Didn't they both agree? Even Gladys and herself had been on the same page on this matter, that she was never going back to Derek.
But, apparently, when the man played the pitiful card, Gladys' confidence was shaken and she became concerned about the man.
Well, you would always have friends like this, who would find it hard to see the faults in their partner even when everything was right in front of their eyes and even if they saw something bothering they would find a way to justify it and give them a second chance.
For Apple, not every mistake deserved a second chance and certainly Derek's mistakes didn't deserve one at all.
Not only was Derek having an affair, but based on what Gladys had told her, the girl had even paid for almost all of Derek's needs.
Apple really couldn't understand how Gladys could be so generous with a guy, but then, Apple had recalled how Jayden usually treated her….
Maybe it runs in the family?
"No, don't go out," Apple said firmly. Someone like Gladys who was very gullible, really needed a friend like Apple who could make her a little more assertive and grow her spine so that no one else dared to treat her like a doormat. "You'd better call the police to kick him out."
"Police?" said Gladys in surprise. She didn't want to take the matter too far and didn't want to involve the police.
On the other hand, Apple could understand why Gladys didn't want to involve the authorities, but that didn't mean she had encountered a setback in dealing with this issue.
Oh, of course not. Apple would always have some way in her brain to get rid of bullies like Derek.
"Wait a minute," Apple said to Gladys then walked over to Adrian to talk to him about a few things.
"It's no big deal, there are some people off duty." Adrian nodded understandingly because he was there too when Derek tried to get into the apartment and knocked violently on the door and now, he was throwing a 'tantrum' again.
"Okay, can you send some to Gladys' apartment?"
"No problem," said Adrian who then began to do what was ordered by Apple and sent several people to Gladys Tordoff's apartment.
But it wasn't until he hung up the phone that he realized why he was following Apple's directions without asking Jayden Tordoff first? Even though Adrian was sure, with Jayden Tordoff's attitude toward Apple, the man wouldn't raise a complaint.
However, Adrian was a little surprised how he could naturally take orders from Apple without a second thought.
This made him frown because he felt he was not himself, as Apple could control him and he followed her orders very naturally.
======================
Derek had been waiting at Gladys' apartment door for almost two hours when he saw four very large, tattooed men approaching him.
He looked quite confused, but then he stood up as the four men were clearly walking toward him, after all there was only Gladys' flat at the end of this corridor.
"What is this?" Derek asked the four men. He looked at the four men warily.
"Get out of here before we call the police to report this," said one of them as they went ahead and carried the four boxes that were there.
So Derek couldn't help but have to follow them all while still getting angry and asking them to leave his things alone.
However, they only dropped his belongings once they were all in the lobby and informed the management of the apartment that this man was prohibited from entering the building and briefly explained the reason why they must not allow the man to be there.
Of course the management of the building immediately took action when they heard the name Tordoff.
However, they had to confirm the truth of the ban with Gladys first.
"Yeah, ask her, she couldn't possibly have banned me from meeting her. I've been here a few days!" exclaimed Derek in annoyance. He stared at the four men fiercely.
Derek was sure that Gladys wouldn't have the heart to do this to him, but to his surprise, when the manager of the apartment returned, he said that Gladys Tordoff agreed to prohibit Derek from visiting her again at this apartment and this of course made Derek couldn't stop thinking.
How could Gladys do that to him? He understood Gladys well enough to know how gullible she was.
But, what suddenly made Gladys so resolute and take such extreme measures?
"You have to go now, or else we'll have to get the police involved," the building manager said, warning Derek of the matter, which made the man grit his jaw hard in annoyance.
Having no other choice, Derek stomped his foot and started walking away from there, as he didn't want to cause any more chaos than this.
Not only that, he had to drive over his car and lift the four boxes into his car under the gaze of the four men who had kicked him out of the building.
They didn't help at all and instead laughed at seeing Derek in trouble.
==========================
"I saw him being taken away," Gladys told Apple, reporting the incident and sounding a lot better without Derek whining and begging her to take him back.
Without the man in front of her, she could be more resolute with her decision to cut contact with him.
Meanwhile, Apple nodded proudly, confirming that Gladys had not had any contact with Derek.
On the other hand, Jayden looked grumbling that he had been ignored. Right now, they were on their way home and in the car, driving through the dark night and the generally deserted streets.
Jayden had several times tried to distract Apple from her phone call with Gladys, but each time, Apple would shove him away, while she and Gladys were still excited to talk about Derek.
Of course this annoyed the man.
"If you leave him to me then I'll make sure to let him go through even worse things," Jayden cursed, pouting his lips.
"Shh!" Apple shushed Jayden and went back to talking to Gladys. "The car he went back in was yours? You have to take it back, tell him to return it, otherwise you will report the car as stolen."
And that very night, Derek got a message from Gladys saying to return the car otherwise she would report it as stolen.
This of course left Derek flabbergasted… he had no idea that Gladys could be that cruel to him.
