It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 480 BICKERING

"Hey, what's with this plan of yours?" Apple asked Jayden through the earpiece. "I've been captured in all the CCTV cameras of this building, if something happens later, they'll definitely know that I'm the mastermind behind all this."

Apple then walked back to her left and entered the fire escape again. Jayden had given her a floor plan of the building and told her his crazy plan, so Apple knew what to do.

Only, Jayden didn't seem to tell Apple the whole plan, because he kept it all in his head.

"I'll be deleting their CCTV footage for tonight," Jayden replied calmly. "I told you not to worry."

Apple grumbled something incoherent before she said in a curt tone, "You're just sitting there with your laptop on your lap while I have to do all the manual work. How can you say so lightly that I don't have to worry?"

Jayden laughed when he heard that. "Sorry honey, but I'm not used to doing such heavy work."

When she heard this, Apple suddenly stopped in her tracks. She almost blew her top because of what she had just heard, if it wasn't for her still remembering that this mission required her to be as silent as possible, she would have scolded Jayden at length for that comment.

Did he think she was used to doing menial work?

"I can see your face now," Jayden said suddenly when there was no reply from Apple. "You must be really pissed off right now, right? You're holding your breath not to get angry because you know in this situation it's impossible to scold me."

Jayden's voice now was interlaced with laughter.

"Oh, you know me well, Mr. Tordoff," Apple scoffed at him.

"I'll get to know you better soon. How about we start with 'what's your favorite color?'" Jayden asked, out of context.

Sometimes, Apple struggled to keep up with Jayden's more often erratic way of thinking.

"You're crazy," Apple grumbled, then she walked into a room filled with hundreds of wires and boxes showing numbers.

"I never knew there was a color called 'you're crazy'. My own favorite color is blue," Jayden said. "My favorite food is seafood and I prefer hot chocolate in the morning to coffee, how about you?"

"I didn't ask all that," Apple grumbled.

"There's no 'I didn't ask all that' menu," Jayden retorted and he could hear Apple groan in annoyance. For some reason, Jayden found it hilarious and fun to play with Apple.

The room that Apple entered was filled with so many wires that she had absolutely no idea about, but of course Jayden knew what room it was.

"Stop playing, I'm already here." Apple informed Jayden of her position to get him back to serious about their situation.

And suddenly Jayden's voice turned serious, even now, Apple was still not used to how easily this man changed personality, as if she were dealing with different people in different situations.

"Look for the boxes that show the number fifteen and sixteen," Jayden ordered.

Actually, he could have gotten someone else to do what Apple was currently working on, however, Jayden could be said to have high trust issues and he didn't trust anyone arbitrarily.

Regarding this mission, where he was going to steal the data of a company, of course he wouldn't just entrust it to someone else.

As for Apple, even though he was new to this girl, she was the daughter of Pyro and after spending some time with her, Jayden didn't doubt her one bit.

Perhaps this feeling of comfort was also what prompted Jayden to be impulsive by announcing that he wanted Apple as his woman.

"I've found it."

"Open the box."

The box in front of Apple was almost as tall as her and she traced the metal side of the box carefully, before finally finding a gap and pulling it open.

"Wow… I'll never understand what to do with these many wires…" Apple muttered, because in front of her, she could see an electrical circuit with all kinds of wires and tiny lights around it and even though there were descriptions on some of the wires, Apple didn't feel she could figure out which cable they were aiming for… "Are you sure you can find the right cable?"

"Send me a picture of it," Jayden said calmly.

"Just a minute," Apple said, then she pulled out her phone and sent Jayden the photo he asked for. "I sent it."

"Give me a moment."

"Take your time, I am comfortable here." Apple could hear Jayden's chuckle which made her smile, then she sat on the floor and hugged her knees.

The air in the room wasn't too cold, maybe because of the heat from the machines in front of her.

It took Jayden about three minutes to finally talk back to Apple and give her very clear instructions on what to do, which even Apple couldn't possibly go wrong with, unless she was really stupid.

"Now press the button on your left and cut the blue wire next to it," Jayden said at the end of his instructions.

"Cut the cord?" Apple looked doubtful, but she pulled out a small knife from her waist anyway. "Are you sure I won't get electrocuted?" She looked scared when she had to cut off the cable.

"Of course I wouldn't risk your safety, sweety," Jayden said softly, as if he were coaxing a child who didn't want to eat.

Apple scoffed when she heard that. "Says the one who sent me to this place and told me there was a high chance I'd start a gunfire and fight with the trained guards if they found me." Apple shrugged nonchalantly. "I think it's safer than the possibility of me getting electrocuted."

"Your level of sarcasm just keeps getting higher."

Apple ignored the comments and did what Jayden asked her to do. She cut the said blue wire in the circuit quickly.

And immediately, all the lights on the fifteenth floor went out as only this particular floor experienced a blackout.
