"Ah, you're quite agile, apparently." Dakota smiled at him. He looked at Brown with a friendly look, but in Dakota's mind, he had imagined many ways he would use to deal with Brown when he finally found Brown's hiding place.Getting up from his seat, Dakota walked over to the shelf where Brown had placed his wine. Dakota's eyes swept over the wines casually one by one and looked calmly at the rows of wines that made her smile.Krug Wine 1928, Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon 1941, and Penfolds Grange Hermitage 1951 are there. The wine, with a price of tens of thousands of dollars, was perched sweetly there, maybe Brown thought that he could celebrate something there, not knowing that he would be caught by him.Dakota moved his hand to take a bottle of Penfolds Grange Hermitage 1951 from the shelf, making Brown, who was filled with tension, open his eyes wide, glaring at what Dakota did to his favorite wine collection. He had purposely never tasted and opened the bottle because he was savi
"I've finished it, sir." Ray approached Dakota not long after his business inside was done.Dakota turned to him from inside the helicopter, where she was currently sitting. Dakota's appearance looked a little dirty because the shirt he was wearing was splashed by the wine stains he spilled.Ray realized that and gave Dakota his handkerchief to wipe her hands. "Here, sir." Ray sat right in front of Dakota after passing the handkerchief he took from under his suit.Dakota took the handkerchief and wiped his red hand from touching the wine glass earlier."How is she?" Dakota lifted his gaze from looking at his hands and turned to Ray.When Ray entered, Brown was still alive while the maid was lying lifeless on the floor. Ray could still hear Brown moaning, so without waiting, Ray pointed his gun at Brown and shot him in the vitals."He's dead, sir," Ray reported Brown's final condition before he left the room.Dakota appeared to smile faintly. "Then what are you going to do to cover it
"Hey, wait a minute!" The woman blocks Dakota's path, she stands in front of her then stares at Dakota with exist because Dakota's body is taller than her, obviously much taller because she can only stare at Dakota's chest.Dakota lowered his head and looked at the woman distractedly. His eyes hung with a cold stare with a flat face. The woman seemed to swallow the water in her throat as she looked into Dakota's eyes.She tried to brace herself to keep talking to Dakota. "I can't owe someone a favour, so let me do something to repay what you did for me today, please." The woman clasped her hands in front of Dakota, from that close distance her heart beating rather noisily was audible to Dakota. She felt that her ears were getting sensitive.So far, he had only heard other people's thoughts, and even then, at a reasonably close distance. He never thought that she could also listen to the body's response at a close distance. Although the sound of a person's heart could be heard clearly
"You've been watching me eat since before." Dakota put down his spoon, and he was done with his medium well steak.His hand touches the napkin beside his plate, then wipes his lips, sticky with oil. Melani watched him, her eyes focused on Dakota, who looked very annoying because he looked comfortable in that place and used to it.She did intend to treat Dakota, but she didn't expect that Dakota would choose such an expensive place. Melani sighed wearily, after all this was her choice, she was the one who insisted it wasn't Dakota's fault that she wanted to eat there.Melani twisted her fork and spoon. She didn't enjoy her food much as she realized that her month's salary would only pay for one dinner.She laughed bitterly silently. "I'm just seeing if you enjoy it or not." He made an excuse.Dakota snorts a laugh, mocking her. But Melani obviously didn't see it because she looked down. Dakota averted her eyes from Melani and then sipped her wine. "Are you sure?" He asked that in a lig
"Why is this place always crowded?" Dakota muttered. He sat on one of the long benches on the mall's first floor, observing the people crowded there while enjoying the Vienna coffee he had just brought from the coffee shop.He had nothing to do today, but it was too boring just relaxing at home, because when at home she couldn't rest. He must have been doing something with his computer, tinkering with something there and ended up watching the stocks again.Dakota took a sip of his coffee and cast his eyes around. As his eyes spotted a bag shop, he accidentally stared at a woman. Their eyes met glances, but unlike Dakota, the woman's reaction differed."Hey! What are you looking at?" The woman screamed as if she had been harassed.Dakota was dumbfounded. He didn't feel like he had done anything, that the woman could take offence to his words. She stared at those who approached her.The big man with tanned skin looked intimidating. He stood in front of Dakota with a sinister look on his
Dakota let out a long breath. It had been a long few days for her. "I've been really unlucky lately because I keep running into strange women." She then glanced at the woman, 'and ended up meeting unlucky women like her." He quipped at the woman in front of him, who seemed to be staring at him intently and looked very annoyed.Last night, at least, could still be counted as an incident. Melani was annoying because of her high ego, and she didn't want her pride to be hurt because of someone's favour, but she did not think about other people who didn't want to prolong the problem and just wanted to go home. She was also a typical woman who only thought about herself. But at least Melani is still on the side that Dakota can understand.Melani tries to protect herself, who has an inferior nature. She makes a high fortress for herself and does not allow other people to help her just like that because she feels like one day it will be brought up. She thinks that she doesn't deserve help tha
"Now explain what exactly happened? What caused the commotion between you?" asked the man who was the security guard there.With a large posture, the officer took Dakota along with the two other people involved in the problem with him. The three of them were taken to one of the rooms in the building, which was used as a room to monitor the security situation of the mall.Dakota sat in one of the chairs in front of the desk of the man on duty, next to him sat the man who was the woman's boyfriend. The woman had slightly raised his seat. He was getting ready to tell a story, judging from the enthusiastic look on her face. "That guy." He pointed at Dakota. "He was a stalker. He watched me with his dirty gaze. I went after him for it, but he wouldn't admit his mistake and made a scene." He explained.Hearing his explanation, Dakota rolled his eyes because the woman's words were a complete lie. The woman was obviously delusional about it because he never did what she accused him of, not ev
"I am the owner of this mall." He emphasized that to them.For a moment they looked dumbfounded, if that was true then they would be in trouble for involving an important person like him in such a trivial and frivolous matter. The woman became increasingly agitated when what she said was not proven to be true. As he had said earlier, she was already panicking because that meant Dakota might sue him and report her for defamation.She bit her finger, looking at Dakota anxiously. Dakota was the owner of the place, so she was in even more trouble. She didn't want to be completely banned from the mall, but as her eyes glanced at Dakota, and looked Dakota up and down, she knew that Dakota was talking nonsense.The woman then laughed. "Are you kidding me?" She underestimated Dakota through her gaze.From Dakota's casual-looking cut, it was clear that Dakota wasn't that rich at all. Je might be rich, judging by the branded clothes she wore. But many people, including that woman, weren't even
