Chapter 453 DON'T LET HER OUT "No, I don't want to go shopping with you."
It was just, even though that was what Apple said, she couldn't refuse when Jayden insisted on taking her shopping, of course.
So here she was, a few hours later after that lunch and past the two meetings that Jayden had to attend.
Apple resorted to using a mask to cover her face as well as a hat, so no one could recognize her at this time.
And even if reporters clicked a photo of her with Jayden now, they wouldn't know who Apple was.
"What if there is gossip about this?" Apple asked, groaning as she walked beside Jayden into a famous shopping center in City A.
Of course, this shopping center was owned by the Tordoff family. Apple even felt that this family had a monopoly in the city's economy.
"No problem, it's not the first time this has happened, is it?" Jayden shrugged nonchalantly.
"You really never take this kind of thing seriously," Apple said, realizing that Jayden had indeed been gossiped about with other people a few times, but he himself had never taken it seriously.
"Because there really isn't a woman who makes me want to be in a serious relationship," Jayden answered honestly.
Apple didn't glance at the man walking beside her and found Jayden grinning. It was very difficult for him to look serious, if he weren't facing the people who were his enemies.
Even today, Apple felt that this Jayden was almost normal. She felt that the man who had tortured other men for information a few nights ago was not him.
"Don't stare at me too long, you might fall for my charms," Jayden teased when he caught Apple stealing glances at him. "I promised Pyro not to tease you, but if you're tempted, it's not my fault, is it?" Jayden winked at her.
Apple rolled her eyes when she saw the man act like that, but before she could reply, someone called Jayden.
"You go in first, I'll take this call," Jayden said as he picked up the phone.
Apple didn't wait long, and immediately walked into a branded store that sold jackets and some clothes and started browsing there. Jayden took note of where Apple was going, only then did he answer the caller.
On the other hand, Apple was sorting through clothes and found a jacket that caught her attention, so she asked an employee of the store to get it for her.
However, when the female employee had taken it out and was about to give it to Apple, a group of men walked up to them and took the jacket she was holding.
There were about three men and they looked young, maybe only a year or two older than Apple, but from their looks, one could easily tell that they were the children of wealthy families.
The kind of young men who only knew how to spend their family's money to show off their luxurious life, but knew nothing about the business world, because all they knew was seeking entertainment.
But, Apple didn't buy it, she looked at the man in the green shirt who was holding the jacket she wanted and quickly snatched it back.
"Hey!" the man exclaimed in annoyance because the jacket he wanted was snatched away by a young girl. "That is mine!" he cried angrily.
The three young men were very tall, almost as tall as Jayden, and Apple might only be up to their shoulders and they all looked very intimidating, but of course that wasn't enough to make the girl back away in fright.
And when the first man wanted to reclaim the jacket that Apple had taken back, she easily dodged him. The girl then rolled her eyes fiercely at the man.
"I saw this jacket first," Apple argued. She couldn't accept this man's high profile attitude. If only he had asked nicely, she would have given it up, but the way he snatched it right out of her hand was really unpleasant.
"You won't be able to afford it, just give the jacket to him," the second man, who was seen looking down at Apple condescendingly, 'advised' her running his eyes from top to bottom.
Apple, who did not wear any branded clothes and looked very ordinary that day, certainly couldn't portray a convincing look to have enough money.
However, what was wrong with their perception was; Apple may not have the money to buy this expensive jacket, but wasn't Jayden the one who promised to buy her a jacket? So to say the least, they had to pit their fortunes against Jayden Tordoff, and Apple didn't believe they had more money than that stinky guy.
"I can afford it," Apple replied curtly. She then turned around and intended to walk to the cashier when she saw Jayden had finished with his phone and was walking toward her.
However, the third man was about to hold her back by grabbing her shoulder.
Maybe it was just a conditional reflex, but Apple's next reaction would have made the man regret touching him.
Apple didn't hesitate to throw him over her shoulder when she grabbed the man's hand and made a mannequin fall on the poor man.
"You b*tch!" the other two men cried, and came rushing over to help their fallen friend. "Hold her! Don't let her out of this shop!"
In the distance, when he saw this, Jayden stopped walking and was amazed for a moment, but seeing Apple's angry expression, he laughed softly.
This would be fun.
Jayden wanted to know what kind of commotion Apple had caused, so he quickened his pace so as not to miss the next interesting scene.
On the other hand, upon hearing the commotion, several people immediately came to see what was really going on, while a young female employee at the store immediately called security to secure Apple and also called her manager to resolve the matter.
This shopping plan had turned into chaos…
