Chapter 629 MENDING YOUR BROKEN HEART

Chapter 629 MENDING YOUR BROKEN HEART

"And may I know what kind of indoor shoot it is?" asked Apple suspiciously. She was completely uninformed about anything related to the indoor shoot. But, on the other hand, this was the moment Apple had been waiting for.

She had been wondering for a long time how Ivan would act later, but now she could see where this man's plan was heading.

"Indoor shooting in a house, this will be the end of our series of shoots," Ivan said, but he looked nervous. He didn't even dare to look Apple in the eye and instead looked at the sea or at the staff at work more.

"Where exactly is this house?" asked Apple again. She wanted to confirm the address of the place where she would be taken later.

"I'll let you know through text later, I forgot the address. After all, I'm not very familiar with this place. So I didn't really pay much attention to it. But don't worry. It's only about twenty minutes from here," Ivan said quietly, he then glanced at Apple and smiled, before his gaze fell on someone who was directly behind Apple.

Ivan waved his hand and this made Apple automatically turn around to see who this person called by Ivan was.

Not far from her, a young man, who was about two or three years older than Apple, walked up to them with a big smile on his lips. He looked cute and Apple felt his face looked a little familiar.

As if he knew what was on Apple's mind, Ivan briefly explained about this young man who approached them.

"This is the male model I mentioned earlier, he will do a photo session with you on the beach, with the concept of a honeymoon. A young husband and wife, enjoying their honeymoon at the beach," Ivan explained briefly about their concept.

"I've never heard of such a concept before." Apple grimaced when she heard that. The concept sounded tacky and made her shudder, but then something inside Apple made her want to laugh, imagining how Jayden would react when he heard this.

For some reason, Apple had developed a new hobby of teasing Jayden and seeing his annoyed expression was really a mood booster for her.

Maybe it was wrong to make the guy jealous, but Apple didn't do that every day, did she? After all, she couldn't help it. For some reason, lately she had been feeling giddy about provoking Jayden again and again.

"His name is Mateo," said Ivan, telling the name of the young man who was now walking toward them. "He's been in a lot of commercials, you must have seen one of the commercials he's in."

It took Apple a moment to remember what commercial this man was in, because she felt that his face looked familiar, but since she rarely sat before the television screen and watched commercial breaks, it took her a little longer to recognize the man named Mateo.

"Mateo Sullivan?" Apple guessed and just as she said that, the man was too close and he could hear his name being called.

"Yes, I am Mateo Sullivan." He smiled kindly at Apple and held out his hand. "You must be Apple, right? I've heard a lot about you."

Apple raised her eyebrows. She wasn't sure which news this man heard because she didn't feel that what she was doing was worth it.

"You are Jayden Tordoff's girlfriend, aren't you? Photos of you and Jayden Tordoff were circulating in the news online a while ago and you were the talk of many people, before the news disappeared and photos of you were taken down from online media," he explained when he saw the confused look on Apple's face.

Immediately, Apple felt bitter. Of course, that was all he knew, was there any news that made her seem interesting other than being Jayden Tordoff's girlfriend?

"You're wrong, Mateo," said Ivan, who then raised Apple's hand and showed him the ring. "She's engaged to Jayden Tordoff. She is his fiancée now, not his girlfriend anymore."

Apple immediately lowered her hand and smiled stiffly at both of them. She didn't really like showing off like that, but she kept her emotions in check, because she didn't want to create a scene right now.

"So, shall we do the photoshoot now?" asked Apple. She looked out at the sea and saw a car she recognized from a distance. She knew who was in the car. Although she had said many times that she would be fine, nothing seemed to stop him from worrying about her.

"Yeah, we're going to do the photoshoot now. The two of you can chat to lighten the mood between the two of you, so you can work up good chemistry later." Ivan then walked away to meet the rest of the staff, leaving Apple and Mateo alone.

Mateo smiled at Apple when it was just the two of them. "So, you really are Mr. Tordoff's fiancée?" he asked enthusiastically and this made Apple feel a little uncomfortable.

"Yes," Apple answered quietly.

"Oh, don't get me wrong," Mateo immediately said, raising his hands as if defending himself. "I have a little sister who is very crazy about the Tordoffs, especially your fiancé. It can be said that he is her idol, therefore she will feel very thrilled if she knows I am here to do a photo shoot with Mr. Tordoff's fiancée."

Apple sighed and started walking toward their shooting set with Mateo walking beside her.

"Are you sure she'll be thrilled when she finds out about this and not curse me?" asked Apple in a tired tone. "You should know that most of the fan girls wouldn't like their idols having girlfriends or partners."

Mateo thought about it for a moment and then laughed at her. "Yes, you're right. I don't think my sister will be so thrilled to find out that her idol is already engaged."

And after that he laughed softly, which made Apple laugh too.

But then she could feel her phone vibrating in her pocket and when she saw who was calling her, she couldn't help rolling her eyes. It was Jayden.

"Yes?" asked Apple in a light tone and still a trace of laughter could be heard. "Jayden?" she called his name because she couldn't hear anything from the other end of the phone.

Apple then waved her hand at Mateo to go first because she was on a phone call with someone and the man gave her a look that seemed to say; I know who had called you before walking away.

Apple didn't respond to his knowing stare and tried to listen to what Jayden had to say because he didn't say anything.

"Hey, are you okay?" asked Apple as she still didn't get any response from Jayden and was a little worried that something might have happened to him. She then looked at the car that was near the beach, which was parked very far from her.

"No," Jayden replied curtly.

And that answer made Apple frown and ask what happened and why he sounded so bad.

"I'm sick," Jayden replied curtly again.

"Why are you sick? You're fine this morning." Apple thought about it, but then she realized that by the time she woke up, Jayden was long gone. "Well, you were fine last night." She corrected her sentence.

And 'fine' didn't explain Jayden's condition last night at all, as he was arguably a bit 'wild' than usual.

"Yeah, but I'm sick."

"Where are you hurt? Have you been to the doctor's?" At this point, Apple didn't know if Jayden was just joking and teasing her as usual or not, but she was genuinely worried about the guy.

"Not yet."

"Why? Then what hurts?"

"My heart hurts."

Apple: ….

"My heart hurts at the sight of you laughing with another man."

Apple really wouldn't have hesitated to kick this guy if he was right in front of her or even do something a little violent to him.

He shouldn't have joked like that when they were in a situation like this. Had he forgotten that they were currently on a mission?

"Jayden, I feel like I want to punch your gut for scaring me." Apple glared at the car. She knew that Jayden was in there with Adrian.

"But, my heart is really hurt watching you smile and laugh easily with another guy."

From the way Jayden spoke, you'd think he was talking about a serious matter and not some petty argument like this.

"I'll hang up the call, okay? I will mend your broken heart later." Apple bit her lip as she said that, it sounded cheesy, but somehow, she wanted to say something like that.

"Okay, see you later," Jayden answered cheerfully all of a sudden and this made Apple laugh because of how eccentric his mood was.

A moment ago, he was all moody and grumbling, but then he sounded like the most easy going person in the world.

"I love to hear and see your smile."

"You can only hear me, you can't see me," Apple corrected him because there was no way Jayden could see herself, as he was so far away from her now.

"Hmm," Jayden mumbled. "Take care, okay? I don't want to see you get hurt anymore." This time, his voice was serious and sounded much deeper.

But, what Apple didn't know was in the car that Jayden and Adrian were sitting in, the heir to the Tordoff family had just put down the binoculars with which he was watching Apple.
