Chapter 477 I NEED YOU TO SOBER

Chapter 477 I NEED YOU TO SOBER　　Apple was so shocked by what Jayden had just done to her, at his sudden warm kiss. It couldn't be called a kiss either, because it happened so briefly, that Apple didn't even notice when it started and ended.

"What's that?" Apple looked surprised.

This wasn't Apple's first kiss, but still, it never crossed her mind that Jayden Tordoff would kiss her and ask her to be his girlfriend while there were tonnes of women waiting for such a confession.

Apple thought there was something wrong with Jayden's way of thinking so something had to be fixed about the man in front of her.

"A gesture to validate our relationship."

She was so shocked that when she finally realized what this perverted man had done to her, her hand flew to his face.

Only, Jayden prevented her from slapping him as he held her wrist firmly and effortlessly.

This made Apple widen her eyes in disbelief, how could this man do this so easily?

And then she remembered that Jayden was a Tordoff as well as a man who had been trained by her own father since he was a child.

And despite his reckless and detached attitude, he was perfectly capable of protecting himself.

Sometimes, even Apple was fooled by his reckless attitude and also the fact that she was his bodyguard, but that didn't mean Jayden couldn't beat even herself.

"Save your energy for later," Jayden said in a low voice and then brought Apple's hand to his lips and gave her a very sexy look. "You will need it."

Having said that, Jayden smirked when Apple withdrew her hand roughly while scowling in disgust.

"Don't ever do that again, or I'll tell my dad," Apple threatened, then she wiped her lips with the back of her hand, to make it clear that she didn't appreciate what Jayden had just done.

Seeing that, Jayden just tilted his head and gave a mysterious smile.

"And stop looking at me like that," Apple grumbled again.

=====================     

The two of them finally arrived at the venue, where all the visitors had arrived in their best attires and Apple was grateful that she didn't embarrass herself as what she was wearing matched the theme of the event.

Things like this should be left to Jayden entirely, he really understood what to wear to an event like this.

"Don't mess around," Apple warned Jayden again as the man took hold of her hand.

"You came here as my plus one, so there is no way we can enter the building while looking like a pair of eternal enemies," Jayden argued, he then pulled Apple's body closer. "And don't forget to smile, people who saw you will think that I have kidnapped you to be my companion for the night."

While giving such instructions, Jayden didn't forget to put on his sweetest smile, the expression on his face didn't show anything at all, as if the two of them were having a casual small talk.

He was an expert at these kinds of things… and it couldn't be denied.

Thus, instead of Apple having to hit herself in the head and getting frustrated with Jayden's behavior, she finally let the man lead the two of them.

It was Apple's first time to attend a party of this kind and meet important people showing off their precious clothes and jewelry. Talk about company status and stock, business benefits and so on that Apple didn't know understand a single thing of.

And for the first time in her life, Apple felt afraid of people.

All of them who were present here looked like they came from a different world to her and used a different language, not only that, the topic of conversation they had was very intimidating for Apple who knew absolutely nothing about their world.

Luckily, Jayden was always by her side to turn the conversation that was aimed at Apple on to himself.

Jayden spoke very fluently to them and was able to crack jokes even on very difficult and complicated topics.

This man's social skills were unquestionable and this made Apple think she was almost like a joke.

It was just that, from the moment they arrived, until the event was about to start, Jayden continued to hold her hand tightly and didn't let go.

"I am going to get a quick drink," Jayden whispered to Apple as the four people who came up to them were busy talking to each other, while Jayden withdrew to get something.

Upon hearing this, Apple immediately held Jayden's hand tighter and said to him in a panicked and muffled voice.

"No, I am coming with you," Apple said in a low voice. She stared warily at the four people there, afraid they'd start questioning her.

Hearing this, Jayden rubbed Apple's hand gently and then leaned his body toward her. "You are so clingy."

Hearing this, Apple widened her eyes in annoyance. Of course, she was not clingy, but if Apple had to choose between having to face these guys and fighting, it would certainly be more satisfying if she could beat up someone at a time like this.

Apple was not born into the same environment as Jayden and not even into a warm family like the Tordoffs with a father and mother who loved each other.

"Here," Jayden handed Apple a glass of champagne and she gulped it down and this made the man raise an eyebrow.

"Sorry," Apple muttered shyly, because she knew what she had just done was totally inappropriate, but her nervousness made her need for an extra push.

Jayden chuckled. "I would like to give you another glass, but I still need you to stay sober for the next few hours, sweetie."

Apple thanked Jayden for understanding, but the endearment at the end of the sentence made Apple scoff.

"I will go get some mineral water," she mumbled and walked away without waiting for Jayden's response.
