Chapter 452 COMPLICATED MAN

Chapter 452 COMPLICATED MAN　　Jayden didn't prolong his stay in Apple's room. Before long after he left, she heard the sound of a car roaring and driving away, indicating that Jayden had gone home.

But, just as Apple was about to go to sleep, her father stepped into her room.

"Apple, are you asleep?" Pyro asked, knocking on the door.

"No, come in," Apple said, at which Pyro walked into the girl's room. "What's the matter, dad?" Apple asked, and then sat on her bed while Pyro walked into the room.

"There's something I want to tell you," Pyro said, his voice sounding doubtful, as if he weren't sure what he was going to say next.

"What is it?" Apple immediately sat up, as it was unusual for her father to speak to her this seriously. It could be said that it had been a long time since her father had such excessive worries as now.

"I want the relationship between you and Jayden to be fully work oriented." Pyro didn't know how he should say this, so he said it according to how he felt. "Father doesn't want any other relationship between the two of you."

On the other hand, Apple was dumbfounded when she heard what her father had just said. She wasn't sure if she had heard him correctly.

"What do you mean dad? Wait a moment." Apple straightened her position first before she took her father's words seriously. "You don't think I have any excessive feelings for Jayden, do you?"

"I hope you don't feel that way," Pyro answered honestly.

That was when Apple burst out laughing. Hearing her father's unfounded concern seemed to have amused her. "Don't worry dad, I'm not going to like an annoying guy like Jayden Tordoff," she said between laughs.

However, Pyro didn't seem to take that as a joke. He took it seriously.

"It's not that dad doesn't agree, but if you can, don't have more feelings for him," Pyro said, trying to explain his disapproval.

"No, there's no way we could have that kind of relationship," Apple said, waving her hand nonchalantly, not thinking that her father was serious about what he just said. "I can't even imagine myself and him being in a romantic relationship." Apple shuddered after trying to imagine that.

"Promise daddy," said Pyro.

"I promise, my relationship with him is only a professional one," Apple replied in a firm voice. She didn't need to think twice before making that promise.

"That's good then," Pyro said in a low voice, but his worries didn't subside after hearing the promise.

After waiting for a moment, Apple asked her father the reason for him to think so. Was Jayden that bad in her father's eyes?

"It's not like that," Pyro muttered, he then folded his arms in front of his chest and looked closely at his only daughter. "Jayden is a very complicated man. He looks cheerful, playful and easy going, but will never show you his dark side."

Pyro knew Jayden from the moment he was born, of course he knew all the qualities of the young man and he had never even been so frightened when he saw someone get out of control.

Pyro was even more afraid of seeing Jayden go out of control than when his father, Ramon, put a gun to his own head because he failed to protect Hailee in the past.

Ramon had been able to think rationally and stop his actions because he still had some considerations, but that wasn't the case with Jayden, who wouldn't think about anything else when he really got out of control.

Pyro saw it happen once and he didn't want his daughter to face the same thing, let alone with that guy.

====================       

And the following days went by with Apple following Jayden whenever he went to meetings, and because she didn't want to wear the same clothes as the male bodyguards that Jayden employed, Apple chose to wear plain clothes.

This was quite helpful for her to monitor her surroundings, acting as if she were just a young girl who happened to be in the place. This was very useful for Apple to be able to move around without attracting much attention.

"Why do you like that jacket? I've seen you wear that jacket about twice in the past five days," Jayden said on the phone.

Jayden was enjoying his lunch alone in the restaurant, while Apple was 'combing' outside the restaurant, while eating ice cream with an earphone plugged in her ear, as well as Jayden.

If other people saw it, they would think that the Tordoff heir was talking about important business matters and the like, but what they didn't know was that Jayden Tordoff was apparently getting rid of his boredom by teasing Apple.

"Why? I quite like this jacket," Apple replied, slightly offended. She looked down at her own jacket and glanced at the restaurant and saw Jayden staring at her too.

This was the brown jacket that Kyle had bought for her because she said she liked it.

Apple didn't wear it because she still wanted to reminisce about her relationship with Kyle, but because she just wanted to.

"You've been wearing that jacket too many times," Jayden said, shoving food into his mouth. "People will notice that you are always around me."

What Jayden said had some truth in it too, because it would be easier for them to recognize Apple this way.

"You should change your look more often," Jayden added and he could hear Apple's grumbling voice, displeased that someone else was criticizing her appearance.

"I don't have another jacket," she finally said, but since she knew what Jayden said was true, she reluctantly added. "I'll buy one or two later, after my working hours are over, so stop giving me overtime."

Jayden smiled a little when he heard Apple's complaint. "No need for that, you can go shopping with me."

Apple sneered when she heard this. "No, I don't want to go shopping with you."
