When Apple reached Jayden's floor and the elevator doors opened, she could see the man was waiting for her with a grin.

Jayden then approached Apple with a sweet smile, as if he had been waiting solely for her to make an appearance. Of course, this made Apple blush a little, because in the elevator it was not just herself. While the two women behind her, became a little embarrassed seeing their boss being so sweet.

"How do you know I've arrived?" asked Apple, who walked straight to Jayden.

The first thing that crossed Apple's mind was; Adrian had told Jayden about it and that was why Jayden could tell quickly that she was in the building and had arrived.

It was just that her guess was wrong...

"That's what surveillance cameras are for," Jayden replied casually, then he took the carry bag containing two boxes of calamari and wrapped his other hand around Apple's shoulder, letting the girl stare at him with wide-eyed wonder.

How could he do that? That was another level of stalking…

"You've been watching me on CCTV cameras since I walked into the building?" asked Apple in disbelief.

"Yes," Jayden answered proudly, there was no doubt or guilt in his voice, as if it was something to be proud of.

"You know it's creepy, you're like a stalker," Apple grumbled as she lightly slapped Jayden's arm and the man laughed. "You really are like a stalker now."

"How can you call me a stalker when you willingly entered the office building and came looking for me yourself?" Jayden asked, which made Apple frown.

Well, indeed Jayden couldn't be called a stalker if he put it like that, but of course this didn't make Apple any happier. She frowned, looking annoyed because she couldn't retort Jayden.

"You look so cute when you frown like that," said Jayden who then kissed Apple's head suddenly in front of his employees.

This was something this guy did often, he would kiss Apple's forehead or cheek when he wanted, no matter where it was. He would just do it spontaneously.

Apple actually liked Jayden's sudden affectionate attitude, but shouldn't he have held back more in front of his employees?

"Stop that, a lot of people are watching," Apple whispered softly, but she got another peck on the cheek in return.

"Why? I kissed my fiancée, my woman, what's their problem?" Jayden asked, then he opened the door to his office for Apple, letting the woman in first and closing the door after he told the secretary he didn't want to be disturbed.

Of course, if he had Apple with him, why would he want to be bothered by anyone else? He was too busy paying attention to this woman…

And when Jayden finally came into the room, he found Apple standing in the middle of the room looking at him seriously. Her arms were folded across her chest and she clenched her jaw, indicating she was holding back her emotions from exploding.

"I think I am in trouble…" Jayden said quietly as he walked over to Apple, who was still nowhere near calm. "May I know my mistake this time?" he asked carefully, he then stood in front of the woman, bowing his head because Apple's head only reached his shoulders.

Damn. How could such a small girl look so fierce and sometimes so intimidating until Jayden was speechless when it comes to dealing with her?

"Yes, you are in deep trouble, Mr. Tordoff," said Apple and Jayden was sure he had guessed the right thing.

"May I know what my offense is, ma'am?" Jayden asked carefully. He stepped over to Apple and now his body towered over the girl and could be said to be quite intimidating.

However, the problem here was; Apple wasn't intimidated at all. She gave off an aura of her own, which made Jayden believe that this woman wouldn't flinch even when she had a gun pointed to her head.

She is very stubborn.

"You've been planning something about the Gevano family, haven't you?" Apple cut straight to the point of the matter. "You're going to put the plan into action tomorrow, aren't you?"

Because Apple was right beside Adrian and she threatened the poor bodyguard not to tell Jayden, Adrian didn't say anything to Jayden.

He couldn't tell Jayden because Apple could be terrifying when she was angry.

"Oh, that..." Jayden stammered, he scratched his non-itchy head and Apple could see how Jayden was trying to use his clever brain to find the right excuse to get himself out of this trouble.

"So, what's your excuse this time?" asked Apple. Her piercing eyes stared at Jayden impatiently. Even though she was much shorter and smaller than the man before her, for now, Apple was far more intimidating than Jayden.

"That…" Jayden tried to come up with a good excuse, but he knew from the start that he wouldn't be able to lie to his fiancée. "Who told you?"

And since he couldn't lie, he tried other ways to get him out of this trouble.

"No need to know who told me," Apple said in a very calm voice, but her face was very serious. "Just tell me, why did you lie to me? So we started this relationship on a lie?"

Jayden grimaced. From the way Apple put it, he felt really bad. Starting a relationship on a lie? Well, no matter how Jayden put it, it sounded really bad and he couldn't help but admit that he was wrong for lying.

"I'm sorry," Jayden said quietly. "I didn't mean to lie to you. I just don't want you on this mission," Jayden explained.

And this explanation was already within Apple's expectations from the start. She knew that the reason Jayden didn't include her must be because of this.

"I took part in the first mission, why do you think I can't participate in this mission?"

"Because things are different now."
