It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Jayden laughed softly at the comment and then detached himself from Apple while grinning at the old man who was a business partner of his.

Then, still embracing Apple, he walked away from the crowd of people who were still watching him and the woman in his arms, rather than concentrating on the announcement that the evening's events were about to begin.

The two of them slipped through the crowd of guests and walked out in the dim light and disappeared behind one of the doors.

Leaving the people there who witnessed the incident to have wild fantasies of what the young heir of the Tordoff family would do.

Jayden pulled Apple into a room and closed the door while the girl still had a cloudy mind and looked a little dazed.

"Thank you for providing a brilliant and unsuspecting way out of the room." Jayden flashed her a smile and then ruffled her hair. "You are so bold."

Immediately, Apple understood what Jayden had just said.

"I didn't mean to…" Ugh! Apple was at a loss for words to explain this to the man in front of her. She didn't know how to start. Or, did she need to explain it at all?

Or should Apple be mad at the comments Jayden just made? Or should she be mad that Jayden kissed her like that earlier?

But, wasn't she the one who started it first? So, Apple shouldn't be angry about that, right?

On the other hand, when he saw the fluctuating confusion and annoyance on Apple's face, Jayden laughed softly and stroked the girl's cheek while whispering softly into her ear.

"I know what's going on," he said, then kissed Apple's cheek gently and looked into her eyes. "More or less you did it all because Ms. Brown provoked you, didn't she?" Jayden guessed right.

Apple, who heard this, frowned and could only be silent while muttering something incoherent.

"You can't be mad at me because I kissed you like that in front of so many people, because you were the one who started it, right?" Jayden argued defensively, noticing that Apple didn't look happy.

And indeed for that very reason, Apple was pissed off now, because she couldn't be mad at Jayden for that kiss.

"Besides," Jayden added, holding out his hand as he stroked Apple's rosy cheeks and his voice was lower than usual and full of temptation. "You can't be mad because you have enjoyed it too, can you?" Jayden teased.

"You!" Apple hissed as she rolled her eyes in disgust at this man, but of course the way her body responded couldn't lie about how she felt and that didn't go unnoticed by the very sensitive Jayden.

"Okay," he interceded, stifling a laugh. "You can argue with me as you please after we finish today's task and this mission, okay."

Apple glared at Jayden and brushed his hand away from her cheek. "I know."

They didn't come here today to show off affection, but to finish a job flawlessly before today's event ended and after that, Apple could forget everything that happened today and the nonsense Jayden threw at her.

"Hopefully what you guessed is true," Apple said, exhaling slowly.

"Hopefully so, otherwise we'll both be in trouble," Jayden said lightly.

"Do you know?" Apple opened the door to the room and noticed the empty corridor while in the distance, the sound of people clapping loudly after hearing the opening speech echoed in the air. "You are a bad planner."

Hearing this, Jayden just laughed softly and clicked his tongue. "I may not be a very good planner, but I am a good improvist."

Apple stuck her tongue out at Jayden, mocking him before she exited the room and walked down the corridor, taking note of every single CCTV camera that was installed along the corridor.

It was going to be a long night and Apple hoped she could get back to her room soon and sleep peacefully tonight.

=====================

In addition to the red dress she was wearing, the high heels made it difficult for Apple to move around because she was not used to wearing this type of footwear.

However, since she couldn't change her clothes and didn't have much choice, she took off her high heels and carried them in her hands.

"You shouldn't force me to wear clothes like this in the future, it's really hard for me to move around," Apple hissed into the communication device in her ear. She was seen casually strolling down a deserted corridor on the fifteenth floor.

To avoid running into the guards inside this building, Apple had to take the alternative route of climbing the emergency stairs or walking down the occasional corridor.

So for that reason she removed the high heels that were bothering her.

"You'll be fine," Jayden said softly, but there was laughter behind his words.

"Just fine?" Apple repeated Jayden's sentence sarcastically, she hissed again until Jayden thought he was talking to a snake instead of a girl. "Come and do this job, go up to the fifteenth floor in a dress and high heels," she grumbled.

If only Pyro was okay, he'd be the one doing this job, because Jayden trusted not many people.

Jayden burst out laughing when he heard that, but then he managed to laugh at hearing Apple cursing in disgust. "Try to imagine me in clothes like that and wearing high heels. I think even Ms. Brown will run if he sees me."

Apple bit her lips to keep from laughing at the thought of what Jayden was saying. This man was annoying, she couldn't even stay mad at him.

"Have you found the room?" Jayden asked when Apple had been silent for a while.

"Soon," Apple muttered.

On the floor where the event was taking place, security was tight because there was a party going on with important people attending as guests, but in this place, not many guards were passing by.

And this was exactly what Jayden had predicted.

"Okay, I found the room," Apple reported.
