Chapter 488 NOT ALLOWED TO GO
"You must feel very dizzy and probably have a hangover, I've made tea to deal with the headache," one of the waiters there said. She then approached Apple while carrying a cup of tea which was still blowing white smoke into the air.
Apple smelled it and liked it right away, but then she felt a strange feeling in her throat and an unnatural taste on her tongue.
"I'm going to brush my teeth first," Apple muttered, then immediately got out of bed and was about to walk to the bathroom.
But, as soon as her feet hit the floor and she was about to take a step forward, her legs couldn't support her weight and she fell. Her legs felt like jelly and so weak.
Quickly, the two maids approached Apple and helped her up.
"Are you all right?" they both asked, almost at the same time.
"No, I'm fine..." Apple replied, shaking her head, but it turned out to be a wrong move, because after that her head hurt a lot more.
"We will help you to the bathroom and help you to shower too," one of them said again, this time sounding much more sincere.
However, hearing this statement actually made Apple wince in horror, she never needed help taking a shower or thought of allowing other people to see her naked for that matter.
Thus, despite the pain in her head, Apple immediately broke free from the two maids' grasp and rejected the terrible proposal.
"No, I'll be fine, you don't have to do that," Apple said quickly, waving her hands frantically. She then walked toward the bathroom, away from the two of them.
Luckily, her legs were strong enough to support her and the pain in her head had lessened a bit when a gentle breeze from the balcony with its doors opened hit her face.
She seemed to need some fresh air more than anything right now.
"Oh well… we'll be here to help you if you need anything," the short haired maid said. She had a sweet, dimple smile on her cheeks.
"There's no need for that," Apple muttered again.
But then, the other maid who had short curly hair told Apple something. "But, lady… if you want to go to the bathroom, it's on that side… you're walking in the wrong direction."
The waiter then showed the opposite side to where Apple was walking…
Ugh!
Apple felt that she started the day wrong and not right...
======================
After finishing having breakfast in the room, Apple had time to ask where Jayden was and the two maids only replied that Jayden had left the house very early in the morning and no one knew where he had gone.
Apple frowned. In the early morning? Did he even get any sleep?
But, that was not a problem for Apple now, because she needed a moment to organize her thoughts again.
Throughout breakfast, memory after memory flashed through her head and the more she thought about last night's events, the more embarrassing she felt.
Apple didn't expect herself to throw up in the car. Maybe it was because she was too nervous, tense and annoyed at Jayden for telling Hailee Tordoff something he shouldn't have.
He even boldly said that he would bring Apple to meet his mother.
Who was Apple? She was just the daughter of a bodyguard who had worked for the Tordoff family for a long time, and that was all. How could she be compared to them?
What would the Tordoffs say when they saw her? Apple was sure that she could take rejection well enough, however, just thinking about it made her feel bad…
Ugh! Indeed, alcohol and excessive thoughts were not a good combination, at least Apple learned this from last night's incident.
After she felt better and had changed her clothes, she then went downstairs and was about to go home.
She didn't have to wait for Jayden to return to City A, because she felt their business was done.
Jayden had obtained evidence against Theodore Gevano on his involvement with human trafficking and was just one step away from uncovering the mystery behind the kidnapping that traumatized him then and now Apple was no longer needed. Her task had been completed.
Therefore, she intended to go home right then and there, while she didn't need to meet with Jayden or start a conversation with the man.
Because to be honest, Apple didn't know what to say or talk about anymore.
"You can't go home," Jimmy said when he saw Apple was about to leave the Tatum residence and asked where she was going.
"Why?" Apple asked, frowning.
"Mr. Tordoff said you should wait for him to come home," Jimmy answered lightly.
"I don't have to wait for him, I'm done with him," Apple muttered. "Now get out of the way." Her head was aching, therefore, she was not in a good mood right now.
So if Jimmy really wanted to get into a fight with her, this wasn't the time, because Apple wasn't in the mood to be bothered.
"I can't, Apple," he said in a tired voice. The two of them have known each other since Apple became Jayden Tordoff's personal bodyguard in place of her father. "I have to follow orders and can't just let you go."
Apple raised her eyebrows defiantly. "Why not?" she asked irritably.
"Because it's an order."
Since when did Jayden order someone to detain her? Jayden was crazy.
"If you insist on leaving, why don't you just call Mr. Tordoff? If he lets you go, then I'll gladly get out of your way." Jimmy suggested, but Apple seemed reluctant to do so.
Apple then stomped her foot and went back into the house.
But, would she just obey? Of course not…
Apple remembered that the room she was given had a balcony and that it led directly to the back gates of the Tatum residence.
So with pounding steps, to show her annoyance, she returned to the room and immediately walked toward the open balcony.
