Chapter 514 - SHE DIDN'T NEED TO ASK
Chapter 514 – SHE DIDN’T NEED TO ASK
Apple did not expect that this afternoon's incident at the restaurant would actually get the attention of the mass media and instead their main focus was not on the fact that Apple and Jayden had just experienced a robbery incident in the cafe, but on the fact that they were both together.
Of course, before this Apple had been caught on camera several times when she was still working as a bodyguard protecting Jayden to replace her ailing father, but that was certainly different from the photos that were scattered in the media today.
They reported it as if the two of them were on a date and the fact that there were no other bodyguards around drove their assumptions crazy.
They began to say that the relationship between Apple and Jayden had been going on for a long time and this was not the first time they were out on a date.
It was just that today they were unlucky and a robbery occurred at the cafe where they went to date.
"They took a photo of the two of us and now we're in a gossip article." Apple looked annoyed when she approached Jayden about this.
"Then?" Jayden looked indifferent when he heard the question. He didn't look surprised at all, which made Apple suspect that this man actually knew what was really going on in the media.
"There's a photo of the two of us out there, spreading like crazy," Apple repeated what she said. She was annoyed that Jayden's response did not reflect her own annoyance at all.
Jayden glanced over and smirked, before he turned his attention back to the document in his hands. "Of course it's a photo of the two of us. You look beautiful in that photo."
Beautiful my a**! Apple cursed inwardly. She knew she was beautiful, but she wasn't in the mood to hear that kind of compliment from Jayden right now. She wanted this man to see the trouble that was before their eyes.
However, Jayden didn't think it was a problem…
Annoyed, Apple scrolled through several news articles and came across a news story from one of the mass media whose contents were quite shocking and infuriating.
"Look at this!" Apple shouted again while shoving the phone under Jayden's nose so that he wouldn't have a choice but see the article Apple was pointing at. "What does this mean?!"
In the article, it was said that Apple was Jayden Tordoff's former bodyguard, which is a fact, but it was the next sentence that infuriated Apple.
There it said that; it's possible Apple seduced Jayden Tordoff during her stint as bodyguard and created a scandal with him. And not only that, there are some long lines that make absolutely no sense and are completely bullshit when it says that Jayden just wants to have fun with Apple and the relationship isn't serious.
Not only that, the mass media also looked down on Apple as a woman who had no self-respect and gave herself up to Jayden.
Of course the next article surprised Apple even more…
This article said that Apple used a connection she has, namely her father, who is none other than Jayden's personal bodyguard to try to get close to the Tordoff heir.
"They literally wrote that I was a gold digger in sweet prose," grumbled Apple. She then pulled back her cell phone when she concluded that Jayden had finished reading it. "It's nice to be you, when all the negative comments are thrown at me and you're pictured here just messing with me, but why am I the one getting the blame?" she growled impatiently.
Apple is really upset about all this news.
And after her long rant, only then did Apple realize that Jayden didn't say anything after she pointed out the negative article.
"Hey, can you hear me?" Apple nudged his shoulder. "Jayden?" she called him.
"I'll take care of this," Jayden said coldly. His facial expression once again changed as he said that and then stood up suddenly.
"What?" Apple asked in bewilderment when she saw the man staring at her with a smile on the corners of his lips. His facial expression again changed a hundred and eighty degrees and now he looked back to his easy going self.
"Let's have dinner together," he said cheerfully.
"No, I don't want to have dinner with you," Apple refused. "Haven't you seen the news that is being spread in the mass media? They're talking about us."
Shouldn't it be at a time like this that Jayden should have reduced the chances of the two of them being seen in front of the camera until the news died down?
But, it seems Jayden has other ideas.
"Let them talk," Jayden said nonchalantly and grabbed Apple's hand as he ushered her out of his office. "It's been years since I cared what they said."
======================
Despite Apple's desire not to have dinner with Jayden, she couldn't seem to resist the man's wish.
Jayden always had a thousand and one ways to get whatever he wanted, therefore, when Apple found herself in a fancy restaurant that looked very expensive with delicious food lined up in front of her, Apple could only shake her head.
"There's no need to look sad like that. I'm used to winning arguments, therefore, it's only natural that I will win this argument too, right?" Jayden winked at her and put some of the food onto the plate in front of Apple. "Eat a lot. In a situation like this, you need a lot of strength to fight those reporters."
Apple glared angrily at Jayden and growled softly. "You put me in this position."
Jayden actually laughed when he heard this. "I didn't mean to hide our relationship."
"We don't have any relationship."
"Of course there is, you are my girlfriend."
"I'm not your girlfriend."
"Fiancé then?"
Apple was just about to protest this when she noticed that several people in the corner of the restaurant were taking photos of the two of them.
