Chapter 606 MISS ME?

Chapter 606 MISS ME?

After what happened on the island and then the drama at the hospital where the ring finally slipped off Apple's finger, the day of her second photo shoot finally arrived.

Ivan met her in the same studio.

"How was your holiday?" It was the first question he asked when he saw Apple.

And this of course left Apple a little confused. She didn't answer him right away, but looked at him doubtfully.

"What do you mean?" asked Apple with a furrowed forehead. She was sure that her confused expression was really showing and this made Ivan frown too.

"I mean your vacation yesterday with Jayden Tordoff," Ivan said in a light tone. "IS there something strange?" he tilted his head.

"How did you know about that?" Apple squinted at her male friend. "I'm sure I didn't tell you anything about the vacation."

Apple was used to capturing small changes in a person, because it was very necessary to observe and be vigilant, and that was what Apple was doing right now.

"So?" Apple raised an eyebrow, waiting for Ivan's answer. "How did you know that?"

Ivan's surprise instantly disappeared as he laughed in a low voice, he shook his head. "Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked lightly. "I'm sure you've said that to me in our previous conversation."

But, Apple shook her head, she refused to allow Ivan to manipulate her by saying things that weren't true. She knew what she had said and what had happened. Even after being heavily intoxicated, she was able to remember the details of what had happened. Therefore, it was ridiculous for her to forget these details.

"No, I remember well what I said and what I didn't say, so don't try to say I did, because I never told you anything about the vacation." Apple didn't raise her voice nor did she sound threatening, but her voice was firm and clear.

Apple may be a little paranoid, but she knew the situation she and Jayden were in and also the danger that threatened them from the Gevano family. Even though she and Jayden looked so easy going, that didn't mean they weren't careful and kept their eyes wide open to their surroundings.

"You're taking this too far, Apple," Ivan said lightly, patting her on the shoulder. But, of course that didn't answer anything, about how he found out about the holiday.

"No, I know what I'm saying," Apple insisted, but before she could ask Ivan any further about this, someone called the two of them to inform them that preparations were complete and they could start shooting right away.

"Don't think about it too much, you seem to need a break, after this, I'll suggest a week of rest," Ivan said in an understanding tone, like a caring friend worrying about his friend. But, for Apple, it didn't sound like that at all.

Ivan was just avoiding this topic of conversation, however, the question was; why?

"Come on," Ivan suggested, tugging at Apple's arm, but she dodged and smiled softly at him. "Don't think about nothing, you don't need to think about weird things, because people forget. It's very natural."

"Yeah, maybe I'm too tired," Apple said, going along with his lies, and sounding convincing enough to Ivan's ears. "I need a few minutes, you go first, I will catch up with you soon."

Ivan frowned and he intended to refuse, but in the end he still agreed.

"Two minutes, okay?"

"You are very stingy." Apple laughed and nodded. It was only after seeing the girl's laugh that Ivan seemed to relax a little, as if he had managed to dodge a bigger problem.

But, as soon as Ivan turned around, the smile on Apple's face instantly disappeared as she took her cell phone from her pocket and started dialing Adrian's number.

"What is it? Are you done? That's fast," said Adrian when he picked up the phone call from Apple.

"No, I'm not done yet, but I have two requests for you." Apple said quickly and although what she said sounded quite serious, her facial expression didn't show it at all, her facial expression didn't even change a bit.

"Hmm? Requests? What are those?" asked Adrian.

And after that, Apple informed Adrian of what she wanted to ask for and told him that she herself would tell Jayden about this.

"Okay," said Adrian when he had finished hearing what Apple had to say.

=========================

After the morning session was over and they were resting for an hour, Apple told Ivan she wanted to go out for a bit for lunch.

"Together with Jayden?" Ivan asked in a teasing tone.

"No, he's busy at work," Apple said, waving her hand, then before the rest of the crew teased her too, she quickly walked out of the studio and into the parking lot, where Adrian was waiting for her.

"You brought what I asked for?" asked Apple.

Adrian then placed a small box the size of a fist into Apple's hand and told her something else. "Well, I actually brought more."

"What do you mean?" asked Apple confusedly. She didn't understand.

"Get in the car." Adrian nodded toward the car parked not far from them and whose windows were so black that you wouldn't be able to see who was in there.

But, for one thing or another, Apple seemed to know who was in there.

"Didn't I say that I would tell him myself?" Apple raised her eyebrows accusingly at Adrian, but the man just shrugged his shoulders and looked at Apple with guilt-free eyes.

"I had to get his approval to be able to take these tools and there's no way I'd lie. I like this job more than you."

Apple rolled her eyes dramatically. "Yeah, same here." And after that, she walked toward the car, where she found Jayden sitting leisurely.

Jayden smiled sweetly at Apple while waving his hand. "Miss me?"

"Not really."
