"Please, sir." Ray opened the car door for Dakota.With his eyes hardly open, Dakota walked with lazy steps into the car. He didn't say much throughout their journey.Occasionally, Dakota closed his eyes while checking out the window to see if they had arrived. But their journey seemed to be quite long. She woke up so early because Ray told him, they would be leaving early tomorrow night.Ray, who was sitting in the front, turned to him. "We're here, sir."Dakota opened his eyes and then looked outside. Only then did he open his car door just before Ray opened his. He looked at the spacious building in front of him."Come with me, sir." Ray escorted Dakota into the shooting range.Behind Ray, Dakota watched the crowded place as they stopped at the receptionist. Ray took out his membership card and showed it to the clerk there.Ray usually practiced at a different place than where the O'Connor family practiced shooting. So he wasn't recognized there, especially since none of the O'Conn
"Who exactly is this man? Why has he been showing up so often with Mr. James lately?" mused a butler standing behind James at the ready.Dakota, who could hear him, couldn't help but look at him, even though he was doing it subtly and casually.He saw the butler, a woman slightly older than Ray, staring straight ahead without budging. The waitress was acting professionally, even though she had questions in her head."Why does this man come so often? But I'm quite happy to see him in this house. These days, since this man is often seen standing around while preparing dinner and breakfast, it feels more pleasant." Dakota almost choked as he heard the voice of the young maid in front of him.James still hadn't told anyone about Dakota except Ray because James himself was conscientious about the fact that Dakota had returned.He shifted his gaze to James, who was staring at him worriedly, their eyes meeting. "Are you okay?" James asked her.The waitress, who had been looking at Dakota, i
"We're not on the same level. I don't want to be lumped together by someone like you." Nicholas looked down at Dakota. He gave him a slight grin. "You're a thief, so you're different from me."Dakota looked at him fiercely. His eyes stared intently at Nick. Nicholas was the man who had interned at the same company as him. But unlike Dakota, Nicholas was a rich kid.So, during his internship, Nicholas, who knew Dakota's status was lower than him, always made it difficult for Dakota with various things that made Dakota tired. Nicholas felt like the boss in the place where they interned.Many times, Nicholas delegated the work that had been divided by their boss to him. He asked Dakota to do his part, too. At that time, Dakota had no choice but to accept his treatment.The reason was, at that time, Dakota was still poor and needed a job, and Nicholas, whose family influenced the boss at their internship, threatened that if Dakota did not do what he ordered, then Dakota would be in troubl
"You're not someone who knows anything about the business world." Anna gave him a cynical and arrogant look. "You're just a rookie who knows nothing about me and Dakota." She grinned faintly at Nicholas."You..." Nicholas' words trailed off. He stared at Anna intently. His memory seemed to have seen her familiar-looking figure, but he couldn't quite remember.He tried to keep remembering, but no matter how hard Nicholas tried, he couldn't find her in his memory. Nicholas ignored his thoughts and dismissed them as part of his mistake."You're the one who doesn't know who Dakota is." Nicholas folds his arms haughtily. Then, he approached Dakota and looked at him with dangling eyes. "I knew him before you did. He was an ordinary working man. A poor man whose only job is to make money." He snorted at Dakota.What Nicholas said was true. Back then, he was only busy working. Day after day, he only spent doing one job after another.He lived in a flat that was only 5×5 meters, with one bathr
"Oh hey, you." Brown, who accidentally bumped into Dakota, greeted him and signalled for Dakota to come closer to him.Dakota, walking out of the main shopping centre building for some business, glanced at Brown flatly. he didn't want to talk to that person and look familiar to him, but since Brown had called his first, he had no choice but togo to him there.Dakota turned his face in the other direction, hiding his annoyed facial expression from Brown and then came acting like a person of lower status than Brown. After all, Brown recognised his as a servant of James, so he had to stick to his role until James decided it was time to introduce his to the public, and he was quite ready for that."Sir, Brown. Nice to meet you." Dakota imitated Ray's manner.Thanks to frequent interactions with Ray, he knows how to behave as a servant. These days, Dakota spends time with Ray quite often. They go to the shooting range quite often, and lately, Dakota has also been practising judo with Ray
Dakota heard the sound of feet walking towards him, then about to hit him from behind. Dakota quickly turned around and then made the person fall forward."You're doing a hazardous thing." one of them smirked, walking while overtaking Dakota's path and standing before him.Dakota stopped his steps and then looked at the man flatly. He turned his head in the other direction, then found several of them appeared and surrounded him, making a large circle with a gap that was also quite large because there were only three.Dakota looked at them with a faint smile on his face. They were taking it too lightly. If there were only three of them, Dakota was confident of taking them out, but he planned to show Brown the power of the O'Connor family.So, he still had to wait for his men to arrive to take care of them. he glanced around, then looked annoyed at them. "Ah, why would they send such lousy people to do this work? Did they intend to fail from the start?" he gave them a condescending look
"What did he do?" Brown seemed to be sitting in his place calmly, but right now, his mind was elsewhere. "Why is he overreacting to a new servant?"Brown drummed his fingers on the hand of the wooden table. He was thinking hard about who Dakota was.Ever since he accidentally met James and Dakota, he had been watching Dakota, who he knew to be James' new maid. Several times, he had gotten word from his men who were staking out James' residence that Dakota had been seen going in and out of the house repeatedly and then had also been seen going out with Ray.At first, he did not suspect the man's status, but because of today's events and why James had called him in anger. It made Brown sure of something.He twitched his mouth in complaint as his gaze stared unfocused at the corner of his room. "Maybe he's not a waitress like I thought. There's something they're hiding." Brown turned his gaze to the aide standing guard nearby.He raised his hand. Then, he moved his index finger to beckon
"Do you want to know about my situation I said I couldn't tell you about before?" Dakota sat on James' right side.After last night's incident at the boxing gym, Dakota kept thinking he needed help. He needed to find out what was going on with him. Before, he couldn't trust anyone to ask for help, but now he had someone he could rely on.So Dakota decides to get someone else involved to find the answers she's been looking for all along about what his body is going through.James looked at his intently. He placed his teacup on a small saucer. "If you're still not ready to tell me, I won't push. After all, I already know everything about your past life." James looked calm. He handled it like a wise man.Dakota pulled himself up, who had been leaning towards James. His eyebrows twitched at the realisation. "Ah, that means you know that I had an accident?"There was no one else in that place except for Dakota and James, even Ray, who had been there. Dakota asked to leave them because ther
