It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Apple was completely shocked when she found out that Ivan's girlfriend was in an affair with Derek, who was actually Gladys' boyfriend.

This situation was really messed up and Apple couldn't have imagined at all that something like this could happen and they would know each other.

Apple knew that a lot of weird things could happen, but this was completely unexpected and left her speechless.

And just as the two of them were discussing this oddity, there was a knock on the door and Derek's voice calling out Gladys' name traveled inside the apartment, asking her to open the door because she had changed her password earlier, so of course, Derek couldn't get in.

It was Apple who advised Gladys to do this, as there was no way she would let Derek into the apartment after what he did to Gladys.

"Gladys, open the door, I know you're inside." Derek knocked again a little louder on the door. "I saw your car in the basement, I knew you were in," he said, his voice even louder while the pounding on the door wouldn't stop.

Apple then gave Gladys the phone and instructed her to call Derek, as they had previously agreed.

At first Gladys looked hesitant, she seemed a little scared because according to her, Derek had never been like this before and hearing him speak in such a high tone of course made her feel nervous.

But, Apple once again reassured her that nothing bad would happen, and they were safe. After all, they were inside Gladys' apartment and the door was securely locked. There was no way Derek would break it, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

And when it came to dealing with men like Derek, Apple was more than capable of apprehending the man. Well, of course Apple skipped that last detail and tried to persuade Gladys again to call him as they had agreed.

In the end, Gladys relented and called Derek, where she could hear Derek's voice simultaneously, from behind the door as well as from the speaker on her phone.

"Babe, what's wrong?" asked Derek in a worried voice. "I was worried because you didn't pick up your phone and didn't reply to my messages, what's the matter?"

Then Derek spent the next few minutes going on and on about how worried he was about Gladys, thinking that something bad had happened to her and all sorts of bullshit that sounded so sickening.

On the other hand, fortunately, Gladys was able to see through all the pretense and made herself even more determined to end things between the two of them.

"What really happened?" asked Derek after all the worthless chatter he had said. "Are you pulling a prank for me? Please, don't do this."

And this time there was a soft knock on the door, along with Derek's soft voice speaking from the speaker on the phone.

"Gladys, open the door, we can talk directly if there's a problem, okay?" he coaxed Gladys again and took a deep breath. "Talk to me, why are you silent?"

Throughout the long chat, Gladys remained silent, neither answering, nor responding to his long rambling.

But, as soon as Gladys answered, she only said one short sentence and hung up on Derek.

"Of course there is a problem, you can see the messages I sent you." After that, the two women moved toward the door and started to peek through the peephole on it, trying to see Derek's reaction after reading the message. "Ah… I regret I didn't install a door camera…" Gladys muttered under her breath as she peered through the peephole.

If only they had a door camera installed, the two of them would have been able to see Derek's expression more clearly now and wouldn't have to take turns peering around like this.

"Yeah, you should add that to your must-buy list once he's out of here," Apple added in a low voice, impatient to hear Derek's breaking down as he realized his love affair with Gladys was over.

On the other hand, when Gladys told him to check the messages she left, Derek knew it was going to be bad.

He tried to think of what Gladys might have found out and how to get himself out of this. However, the problem was; when he finally saw what Gladys had sent, he was in shock and was speechless for a really long moment.

If one paid close enough attention, they could even hear how Derek's brain worked quickly to come up with a plausible reason for the words he wrote in the screenshot of the chat that Gladys sent him.

This of course made Derek panic and try not to make it obvious, only, this whole situation really made him unable to come up with a proper excuse and the only thing he could say right now was to ask Gladys to open the door.

"Gladys, babe, I can explain this. Please, open the door first and we can talk about this in person, okay?" Derek begged.

"It's not as bad as you think," Apple whispered mockingly, as if imitating Derek's voice.

"It's not as bad as you think," said Derek from behind the door.

"Please, I can explain," said Apple again in the same tone.

"Please, I can explain," Derek said, begging Gladys to open the door and allow himself to explain the matter face to face.

Meanwhile, Apple and Gladys laughed because Apple had correctly guessed every word Derek was about to say and this made both of them chuckle in disbelief at how easily Apple had guessed Derek's script of persuasion.

"He should be more creative than this," Apple said, staring mockingly at the door, as if she was looking directly at Derek.

They both laughed at the same time.

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

Jayden was about to walk toward the lobby after finishing his work today, it was still afternoon and the sky was still bright. It seemed he had other things to do outside the office, because he didn't plan to go home early.

However, as he walked toward the lobby, someone came up to him and immediately stood beside him, which surprised him because he was paying so much attention to his surroundings and after all, no employee in this building would dare to approach him like that.

But, of course this was no ordinary employee, that girl was his fiancée.

"You surprised me," Jayden said when he saw Apple standing quietly beside him and immediately put his arm around her, making everyone's eyes turn to the two of them.

Apple was wearing a mask at the moment, but it wasn't hard to guess who she was. After all, before this, the rumors about the details of the future Mrs. Tordoff were already blowing hard and photos of the two of them had spread widely before being taken down by the PR team of the Tordoff company.

Therefore, when they saw the girl who approached Jayden Tordoff which prompted the smile on the man's face, of course they could immediately guess who the girl beside him was.

They couldn't help but sigh and stare enviously at Apple because she had managed to land a guy like Jayden Tordoff who might be out of stock in this world.

"Why are you here?" Jayden asked, kissing Apple's head.

"I knew you were going to leave the office and head to the port to check the place out before the 'shipping' happened," Apple replied.

Jayden then opened the door for her, hovering his hand over her head so she wouldn't hit the car door frame, before he finally got in the car too.

"How do you know?" Jayden asked, supposedly this 'trip' was a secret and not many people knew about it.

"Adrian told me when I asked," Apple replied lightly while pointing at Adrian.

Meanwhile, Adrian looked awkward, he would feel guilty if Jayden didn't approve of his actions.

"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Tordoff, because I thought you wouldn't mind if your fiancée learned about your schedule," answered Adrian, trying to curry favor by referring to Apple as 'his fiancée'.

It of course made Jayden look happy. He didn't really seem to mind it.

"Yeah, no problem, you can tell her my schedule," Jayden replied casually. He didn't think much of this while his fiancée was right beside him.

"So I heard you went out to meet Gladys?" Jayden asked. "What happened? There seems to be an exciting story I could hear during our trip to the Harbour."

Apple was a little taken aback when Jayden brought that up. As the question of how he could know about the matter surfaced in her mind. But then she thought of Adrian and the man purposely didn't meet her gaze.

So, it was certain that it was Adrian who took the initiative to tell Jayden all the details of what happened at Gladys' apartment.

Well played…

It seemed like Adrian didn't want to let any secrets remain between the two of them and chose to help both of them.

"So, what happened?" Jayden asked when he saw the look on Apple's face.

And that was when, excitedly, Apple told him about Derek and Rachel's affair.

"You've met her, she is Ivan's lover. She also teased you, you remember?" Apple grumbled.

"Well, I honestly don't remember," Jayden replied, fiddling with Apple's hair between his fingers.

"She was there when you picked me up when I was with Ivan."

"Oh, since you were around, then I must not have paid attention to other women."

Adrian almost choked when he heard those cheesy words.
