Chapter 429 HOW DARE YOU!

"I want you to take over my job for a while," Pyro said, and saw his daughter\'s expression change instantly.

"What do you mean?" Apple seemed to guess the reason, but she wanted to confirm it with her father first.

"I want you to work for Mr. Tordoff for a while until he gets a replacement to me."

"What?" Apple frowned. The expression on her face showed that she couldn\'t believe what she had just heard. How could her father ask her to work for Jayden Tordoff? "Father isn\'t seriously suggesting this, is he?"

Apple was still hoping that her dad wasn\'t actually asking her to work for that shitty man.

Being with Jayden for a few moments was already unpleasant, but now her father was suggesting that she should take care of the man? Seriously… what kind of joke was this?

"Of course dad is serious." Pyro took his daughter\'s hand and cupped his own over it. "It\'s only temporary, until he finds someone he can trust."

"Then why should I?" Apple asked, still very reluctant to be around him. Jayden was like a plague that must be avoided, not to mention the way he talked that tended to be arrogant and his attitude that was annoyingly casual.

"Because you more or less know him well enough," Pyro replied.

Apple raised her eyebrows when she heard his explanation, as if asking her father to explain in more detail what he just said.

"Know him well enough?" Apple raised an eyebrow questioningly, what did her father mean by knowing Jayden Tordoff well enough? "You mean, since you talk about the Tordoffs a lot, you think I know him well enough?"

Pyro nodded, confirming his daughter\'s guess.

"Dad you can\'t force me to do this," Apple protested.

"Please, they are like family to dad," Pyro asked his daughter earnestly.

And then the discussion about this went on so hard that Apple kept refusing her father\'s attempts at asking her not to refuse his request.

But, how could Apple accept the job?

She was barely able to stand him, how could she spend a lot more time with him? What was it? Twenty four hours with him? That was a ridiculous suggestion.

"Of course you don\'t need to be with him for twenty-four hours a day, honey..." Pyro almost sounded like he was about to laugh when he heard his daughter grumble. "You just need to work according to schedule, and of course, you will still be able to enjoy your day off."

Apple grumbled in annoyance, took a deep breath, showing that she didn\'t like the plan.

"He\'ll be fine," Apple said. "He\'s no longer a teenager who can be easily kidnapped."

But, when he heard Apple\'s last sentence, Pyro immediately grabbed his daughter\'s hand and looked at her deeply. "Never use that line in front of him, even if it\'s just a joke, okay?"

Apple understood how traumatized Jayden Tordoff was from the incident, although he didn\'t show it, but her father knew him deep enough to be able to tell.

"So you\'re going to take this job, aren\'t you?" Pyro asked hopefully, but all he got was a grunt from his daughter.

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

Today, Pyro was allowed to go home and Apple would accompany him for two days and it was only on the third day that she would start working for Jayden.

And especially for today, Jayden emptied his schedule all day just to be able to accompany Pyro back home.

Of course, Jayden didn\'t admit that he was involved in the problem that caused Pyro to be hospitalized, but he did say that Pyro had been admitted to the hospital because he was old and got sick too easily.

For that reason, he was able to delegate the affairs of the company to Misha and his sister Alina, who were indeed better at managing the business, while he preferred to work behind the scenes.

"Where are you going?" Jayden asked.

"I\'ve to buy dinner," Apple said.

"You can buy me anything, but I don\'t eat seafood," Jayden said when he came out of Pyro\'s room and found that Apple was about to leave the house.

"Are you going to have dinner here?" Apple asked with an unhappy face.

"Of course."

"Why don\'t you just go home?"

Jayden narrowed his eyes. "Did I just get kicked out? I feel like I just got kicked out."

"It\'s good that you can read in between the lines," Apple said lightly and then left the house, without waiting for Jayden\'s reply. "Don\'t expect me to buy you food, so go home."

"Tsk, she\'s not even pretending not to hate me at all."

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

The diner that Apple went to was really busy this afternoon and she had to wait quite a while to get the food she and her dad liked.

Therefore, she came home later than she should have.

But, as she was in a hurry to get home, a man stopped her right at the end of the road, just before she could turn and reach her house.

Apple recognized this man.

"I called you two days ago, why didn\'t you answer my calls?" the man said coldly and blocked the girl\'s path.

Of course Apple recognized the man. He was her lover, or one could say her ex-boyfriend.

"You should have realized that if I don\'t pick up your calls, I don\'t want to be in touch with you anymore," Apple replied sarcastically, with her eyes fixed on the man in front of her. But her expression instantly darkened when she saw Jayden coming out of the house and about to walk in their direction. "Get out of here right now, I\'m sick of seeing you," Apple growled.

However, what Apple didn\'t anticipate was that the man in front of her would lash out at the harsh words she uttered.

"HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!?" he cried angrily.

And because at that moment Apple\'s attention was on Jayden who was about to approach her, she didn\'t have enough time to dodge the man\'s slap.
