Chapter 449 I WILL THINK ABOUT IT
"You said you had something to say?" Pyro finally asked, ending the topic of Apple.
He didn't need to go into more detail about what he wanted to tell Jayden, because the man was smart enough to understand his intention, without him explaining it in detail.
"There's a 'delivery' a week from today," Jayden said. His attitude immediately took a turn, making him look much more serious and mature. A cold aura radiated from him as his eyes turned sharp instantly.
He always had this kind of aura whenever he talked about the organization.
"You know where it is?" Pyro asked.
"At a port in L city," Jayden answered bluntly. Richard, the nephew of the head of the organization, had informed him of this.
"Are you sure about that information?" Pyro asked doubtfully.
"No," Jayden answered honestly. He certainly wouldn't completely trust the man, regardless of whatever he said. There was no guarantee that he was telling the truth. After all, he was proficient in dealing with even more cunning and deceitful people.
Jayden had been chasing them for the past five years, ever since he took a seat at the Tordoff's company and had more access to the various sources of information his family had.
"It's good that you don't believe him," Pyro muttered. Because that way, Jayden wouldn't let his guard down and put himself in danger. "But it is a port."
Pyro reminded Jayden again. Although he was much better, Pyro understood very well his trauma to such a place.
Jayden didn't answer him directly, he thought for a moment. "I'll take Apple."
This time, it was Pyro who went silent. Professionally, he certainly trusted Apple, because he knew his daughter's abilities and how capable she was in this field, but as a father, he found it hard to let Apple be in danger, especially when she was the only child he had.
"Okay," Pyro answered at last. "But I want you to discuss this matter with Apple immediately."
"Of course," Jayden agreed. "I'll talk to her after this."
And after that, Jayden and Pyro talked about plans for the following week for about three hours, until it got too late.
====================
Apple felt her legs go numb because she'd been crouching in front of her dad's study for too long, just to listen to what Jayden and her dad had to say.
However, the information she could hear, because they tended to speak in low voices, was simply not worth the pain she felt from having to crouch for too long.
She felt her legs go numb and could barely stand when she heard the sound of chairs shifting, which signaled that Jayden and Pyro had finished their discussion.
And now the girl was cursing herself for being so stupid to follow her curiosity.
But, before Apple's leg recovered, she could hear a knock on her bedroom door and soon Jayden's voice could be heard.
"I know that you haven't slept, can I come in for a moment?" Jayden asked.
"No," Apple replied immediately. "I don't want to talk to you."
Apple's blatant refusal didn't make Jayden back down, the man opened the unlocked door to her room.
Apple was cursing herself for not locking the door and getting herself into trouble now that the man had stepped into her room and closed the door behind him.
"Didn't I tell you that I didn't want to talk to you?" Apple squinted in disgust at Jayden, but she couldn't move or run outside due to her numb feet. Her feet fell asleep on her.
"Oh, I don't know. I didn't hear clearly what you said earlier, that's why I went into your room to confirm what you just said," Jayden answered innocently.
"I said you can't come into my room."
"Well, since I'm already in your room, how about we talk?"
Apple couldn't understand what was wrong with this guy. She suspected that the two of them actually spoke different languages ??so this kind of miscommunication occurred.
"I don't want to talk to you."
"Then I'll talk and you can just listen."
Apple wanted to facepalm herself. Why was it so hard to talk to this man?
"Get out of my room!" Apple cried, and then threw a pillow at Jayden, but still didn't get up from her position, which was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Meanwhile, with his quick reflexes, Jayden caught the pillow Apple had thrown at him and looked at the girl with understanding eyes, as if he were dealing with a five-year-old girl throwing a tantrum.
After throwing all the pillows Apple could reach for, she couldn't help but stare at Jayden in annoyance. If only her legs didn't give up on her, she would have thrown Jayden out of the room.
Unfortunately, she couldn't do that and now she had to be patient with Jayden's stubbornness.
"I'm here to apologize, okay," Jayden began. "I didn't mean to do anything bad to you."
Of course, it never crossed Jayden's mind to do bad things to Apple.
Pyro may have worked very loyally to the Tordoffs, but that didn't mean he wouldn't shoot him in the head if he did something weird to his only daughter.
"I don't think what I did was too inappropriate." For Jayden, a kiss on the cheek was not much, he had done more than that and not a single woman had complained about it.
But, as Apple said before, she wasn't the woman Jayden used to meet.
"Good thing that you understand," Apple grumbled.
"So you will forgive me? I promise it won't happen again." Jayden raised his hands, showing his sincerity. "I didn't mean anything bad, just wanted to kick the guy out."
"I will think about it," Apple replied curtly.
"That's better." Jayden then walked over to Apple, returning the pillows this girl had thrown at him. "Then see you tomorrow?"
"I wish I could take some time off."
"You've only been at work for one day and already want a day off?" Jayden shook his head. "At least show your integrity."
Apple was really tempted to kick this guy...
