Chapter 443 BUSINESS IS BUSINESS

An hour later, Jayden returned to his office after finishing the problem he had to take care of and found Apple actually sleeping in the same chair where he had last seen her.

She seemed so sleepy that a soft snoring could be heard from her slightly parted lips, while the agreement papers he had asked her to read were already on the table with some highlighted parts explaining the points she disliked and needed to be revised.

Jayden then took the papers and sat on the table, facing Apple who was still asleep reading the papers.

"Hey, wake up," Jayden called, kicking Apple\'s leg lightly to wake her up, but the girl squirmed and fell back asleep. "What do you mean you want to get two days off in a week? It\'s too much, even Pyro only gets a day off twice a month."

However, the girl Jayden spoke to didn\'t respond at all because she was still sound asleep.

Apple woke up too early today, so it was only natural that she was still sleepy right now.

On the other hand, watching Apple fall asleep, Jayden couldn\'t help but sigh deeply, how could she fall asleep so soundly in a place she had never been to before? Even with a man she\'d only known for a while.

Just at that moment, Jayden\'s phone rang and on his screen, he could see that it was Pyro on the other side.

"Apple?" Jayden repeated when the man asked about his daughter. "Wait." Jayden then changed the call mode to a video call and showed Apple\'s sleeping face.

"How are you doing with my daughter?" Pyro asked.

"Of course I\'m fine with her, even if there is a victim between the two of us, then it\'s definitely me," Jayden replied in a calm voice. He kept showing Apple\'s sleeping face and nudged her cheek, making the girl furrow her brows.

"Stop doing that to her, she will flip when she wakes up if you keep making fun of her," Pyro said helplessly. He highly doubted that the two of them could get along just fine. The two of them were simply like water and oil based on their characters.

"It\'s fun," Jayden said lightly, but then he stopped his childish actions and turned his attention back to Pyro. "So you know who the guy at the bar last night was? They really are members of that organization?"

In that instant, Jayden\'s calm and playful demeanor vanished. He now looked serious and scary.

"You hit a jackpot," Pyro said seriously.

"Hmm?" Jayden raised his eyebrows when he heard those words. "What do you mean?"

"One of the three men you saw at the bar was the cousin of the head of the organization," Pyro said in an excited voice, but with a hint of hesitation interlaced in it.

"How do you know?"

"That weak man admitted it himself." Of course after a long \'coaxing session\'.

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

It was only almost two hours later that Apple finally woke up from her deep slumber and looked around, only to find that she was alone with Jayden who was busy with his laptop and phone calls.

"Yeah, I\'d like tonight\'s meeting to be canceled," Jayden said when he called someone on his cell phone, but then looked at Apple who had now woken up and was rubbing her sleepy eyes. "Yeah, move it to Thursday and I will meet him at two o\'clock. Yes. Yes. Do it."

After a few sentences that Apple didn\'t pay much attention to, Jayden hung up the call and turned his attention to the girl in front of him.

"How was your sleep?" Jayden asked. "I said I\'d be back in an hour, but you fell asleep instead."

Apple glanced at Jayden with a lazy and still sleepy look, her curly hair stuck to the side of her face and Jayden thought she looked cute with that facial expression.

"You said you\'d be back in an hour, but didn\'t ask me to stay alert until then." Apple stretched her body until she heard the cracking sounds of her bones. "I haven\'t slept at all since last night because I had to sleep on the couch, you know," Apple grumbled in annoyance.

"Yeah, I know," Jayden answered lightly. "That\'s why I don\'t want to sleep on the couch."

Apple didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard Jayden\'s comment. This man was absolutely shameless to look so proud for letting a girl sleep on the couch.

"So, let\'s go back to discussing this agreement." Jayden began handing over the documents that Apple had scribbled on earlier and added a few points he wanted. "What do you mean twice a week off?"

"Why?" Apple asked innocently. "Your employees get two days off per week, so why can\'t I get them?" she protested.

Jayden facepalmed himself. "You should, more or less, already know how the bodyguards work from Pyro, right? There\'s no way I can give you two days off in a week."

"I am just replacing my father, so I\'m not really your bodyguard," Apple replied in a matter of fact tone.

"What if I\'m in danger in your absence?"

"As long as it\'s not my working hours, it\'s not my responsibility."

"You are completely irresponsible."

Apple smirked when she heard those words, she then walked around the table to stand right next to Jayden. She folded her arms as she looked down at the man with triumphant eyes.

"I can work those hours, but that means you have to pay for the time I worked at that time by counting it as overtime," Apple said casually.

And it was only then that Jayden realized Apple\'s cunning play.

"So that\'s the reason why you\'re asking for triple pay for your overtime?" Jayden squinted at Apple in disbelief because he had a feeling this girl was toying with him.

"Business is business Mr. Tordoff, take it or leave it." She shrugged her shoulders. "It\'s up to you."
