Chapter 627 BAD VIBE
Chapter 627 BAD VIBE
Apple was woken up by a peck on the lips and a wandering 'hand' on her bare back.
Of course this made Apple laugh softly, knowing who touched her like this so early. She tried to get Jayden's hand off her body, but he pulled her closer instead.
"I feel sore…" Apple grumbled when she felt Jayden's lips on her neck and it made her shiver involuntarily.
"Hm… I am not doing anything," Jayden said, still continuing whatever he was doing right now and this made Apple laugh.
"If you really want to lie, you must do better than this," Apple said between laughs, she could feel Jayden's cold hands on her hot skin.
"I'm not lying, I just wanted to do this…" Jayden brushed the tip of his finger against her belly, right under her breast, which made her gasp. "And this…" he traced her abdomen and went further down.
Apple caught his hand before he touched her there and opened her eyes fiercely, but instead she found Jayden smirking at her innocently.
"What? I did nothing wrong…" Jayden said as he kissed Apple's cheek and twisted her hand until he was the one holding his fiancée's wrist.
"Of course you did something wrong, did you get my permission to touch me?" asked Apple, trying to be defiant, and now, her sleepiness was gone in an instant. She didn't feel that sleepy at all anymore and instead felt awake more than anything right now.
"I'm not touching you… you're touching yourself…" Jayden said with a small smile, while guiding Apple's hand down. He let her touch herself…
=============================
"You look happy today?" Ivan looked at Apple's face, which beamed with radiance. Of course she didn't smile to herself, but even so, when you were happy, that aura would radiate off your body and the way you look at things, as if there were twinkling stars there and that was what Ivan saw in Apple's countenance.
On the other hand, Apple couldn't help it and indeed, somehow today she felt very happy, was it because of their love making session? But, it wasn't the first time, was it?
Or the way Jayden teased her? But, he always did. Apple didn't know what made her heart feel so happy, but she could feel it, she seemed to be in a very good mood and there didn't seem to be a single bad news to piss her off.
"Really? I feel normal." Apple tried to brush this topic off, but of course Ivan could tell.
"I can see it, Apple," Ivan said with a laugh.
The happiness that Apple felt, did make her feel very relaxed and think that everything was fine, but that didn't mean she forgot the text message Ivan had sent someone, which after being further investigated by Jayden revealed that the phone number actually belonged to one of the subordinates of the Gevano family.
Of course, who else was watching them so closely? However, what Apple couldn't understand was; how did Ivan get involved with the Gevano family? What was the motivation?
As far as Apple knew, Ivan wasn't the type to betray his own friend, but maybe he had changed? Everyone changes, right?
"What do you see?" asked Apple, fiddling with her phone, trying to ignore Ivan's comment.
"Your face is beaming," he replied in a matter of fact tone.
Apple laughed when she heard that answer, but then she changed the subject again. "How is your relationship with Rachel?"
Ivan looked confused for a moment, but then he answered casually.
"All right," he replied.
From a distance, a young man could be seen waving at Ivan and Apple, informing them both that all preparations were complete and they could leave now.
"Looks like it's time for us to go." Ivan then looked up at the sky. "Hopefully it won't rain at the Harbor later, because otherwise we won't get the sunset photos we want."
Apple smiled and walked ahead of Ivan. "Yeah, let's go now."
She didn't tell Ivan what she knew about the relationship between Rachel and Derek, Gladys' ex-boyfriend, because she still wanted to know the extent of involvement between Ivan and the people of the Gevano family.
After tapping Ivan's phone for a while, Apple could confidently say that Ivan was up to something after today's photo shoot with someone from the Gevano family, but she had no idea what kind of plans they had made.
Therefore, Apple did not want to shake the boat first, because she wanted to see how far these people would go.
"Apple," Ivan called, which made the girl stop walking and turn to him.
"What is it?" asked Apple after the man said nothing after a while. She tilted her head to find out what this man really wanted, but Ivan just shook his head and smiled at her.
"Let's go, don't keep the others waiting." Ivan then walked over to Apple and walked past her.
"You're weird," Apple grumbled playfully and made Ivan laugh softly, but as soon as he didn't look, the look Apple gave this man turned a little dark.
She followed Ivan to the lobby, where there was a car waiting for them to drive them off.
It was just that Apple used her own car, as Jayden didn't allow her to go together in another car and unaccompanied, especially when they realized that Ivan was trying to pull something.
"Jayden is being really overbearing," Ivan said as Apple was about to get into her own car. "Be careful, people like Jayden Tordoff have a lot of enemies."
Apple laughed softly when she heard this. "There's nothing to worry about an obvious enemy, instead what you should worry about is an enemy disguised as a close person. Those are the people you should watch out for."
For a moment, Apple could see the change in the look in Ivan's eyes, but then he laughed softly and hit her shoulder playfully.
"Let's go, we'll be late, don't cause us to spend the night there, Jayden will be very upset later." Apple played it lightly, as if what she said was just casual gibberish that didn't mean anything.
After that, Apple walked over to her car and closed the door, leaving Ivan standing where he was for a while until someone called him to remind him that it was time for them to leave.
Only then did they leave from there.
"Everything is okay?" Apple asked Adrian and the man nodded.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" asked Adrian, he looked at Apple through the rearview mirror and saw the girl was busy playing with her cellphone. "Things could get very chaotic."
Apple nodded, but she didn't take her eyes off the game she was playing on her phone.
"Of course," Apple replied lightly. "I'm used to chaos."
Adrian tilted his head. "If you get hurt, then Mr. Tordoff could go out of control."
Hearing that comment, Apple laughed softly, but then realized that it was not really impossible.
"You don't have to worry, are you sure I can get hurt that easily?" asked Apple again. "If you really think I can get hurt so easily, then you're really underestimating my abilities."
Apple tossed her hair arrogantly and then smirked at Adrian, who could only shake his head.
======================
Derek looked annoyed when he woke up to find neither a message nor a call from Gladys. The girl didn't even answer his phone calls at all, nor did she reply to any of his messages.
This had never happened before and really made Derek's thoughts go haywire.
He seemed very stressed about this and became more sensitive, until even Rachel could feel Derek's anger when they were in the same room.
Not only that, Rachel had never seen Derek this angry before, so she felt a little afraid of this man.
At first, Rachel wanted to scold Derek to make him leave her apartment immediately, but when she felt the negative aura from this man, for some reason she couldn't find the right words and for the first time, Rachel was afraid of him.
"Where are you?" Rachel asked when she called Ivan, to which he answered that he was busy with a photoshoot near the Harbor, on a beach in the outskirts of town A. "Okay, we'll catch up there."
Rachel didn't need a reason for her to follow Ivan when he was visiting an area and her boyfriend never objected.
After all, Rachel needed a place to escape from her own apartment, as she couldn't get Derek out of here, meanwhile, she began to feel frightened and uncomfortable with the man, who was like a ticking time bomb and was just waiting for the right time to explode.
However, this time, Ivan refused her arrival on the grounds that they would only be there until the evening and would return as soon as the business there was done.
"Why?" Rachel asked confusedly. She was now in her room and was watching what Derek was doing in the living room of her apartment from the slightly open door. "You don't want me there because you're with Apple? What are you doing with her? Are you interested in that girl?"
And a slightly annoyed answer came from the other end of the phone, from Ivan.
"What do you mean? I'm here working with her. After all, how could Apple be interested in me when she has someone like Jayden Tordoff by her side?"
"I'm just asking, why are you angry?" Rachel huffed.
