"How is that possible?" He shouted in disbelief. "You check the payment again you might have made a mistake." He pointed at the woman behind the checkout counter.The woman confirmed through his payment machine and the charge He processed on Dakota's card. "There was no mistake, sir. The card you were given accepted the transaction and only required confirmation. The fund balance of the card was sufficient to pay the bill.""But that's impossible," Alex said, looking confused about what was happening."I told you, while you were busy playing around and never showed up. There have been so many changes." Alex stares angrily at Dakota, his face visibly flushed.Meanwhile, Dakota confirmed his shopping transaction, which was completed quickly. The woman who handled the transaction smiled kindly. He was being more friendly than before. "Thank you for shopping at our store in such a large amount. If any new editions of our products come out every season, would you mind contacting us, sir?"
Dakota gazed happily at his customer account book. There, he saw that the price of the shares he bought gave him considerable profit.It could even be said that the profit generated at this time was enough to make him prosperous, even though he was not the wealthiest person. However, the profit generated by the company is very promising and profitable."The stocks we chose were really good, as I explained at the time. The price of the shares they own is going up." Anna smiled happily at him."You were right. Thanks to you, I got the right help." He complimented Anna and made her even happier.A few days ago, he was reading the news about the company he had invested in. As he read, he envisioned the stock price increasing by three percent. That's a considerable number because stock prices usually move by zero points. But a few days later, the stock price in that place still increased, although only the point grew daily. And now, the upward movement of the stock price from the original
Two days earlier, Anna had told Dakota that she would pick him up at 9am, and they would leave for the auction. Anna asked Dakota to get ready, and now Dakota was waiting for her in front of his flat. He sees the white Porsche that Anna was driving the other day appear and stop right in front of him."The road is having a little trouble, so I'm not late picking you up. Sorry." The girl showed her unpleasant face in front of Dakota.Dakota pulled the car door next to Anna's seat, then sat down to join him there. "No problem, I don't mind waiting."Anna looked at him with a smile. She took a moment to notice Dakota's outfit before she drove the Porsche she was riding in. "Just so you know, I have no intention of making the handsome man who made an appointment with me today wait for me for long." He leered at Dakota and then drove off.Dakota opened his eyes wide, looking at Anna. He seemed to smile slightly and was a little taken aback at Anna's compliment, though he wasn't sure if the
"There's a lot of money going around here." Dakota spoke quietly, but it could still be heard clearly by Anna.The atmosphere there became even more heated, even crazier, according to Dakota, who was flabbergasted to learn that they didn't hesitate to mention large amounts for items that weren't worth that much. The thinking of those rich people was exhausting. She couldn't believe they spent tens of millions on those things.Anna saw it at a glance and understood why Dakota looked surprised. "Yes, of course. It's a marvellous place here, isn't it?" she smiled and looked at it happily. "As I said, everyone in this place is rich. It's good for you to get to know their characters in this place."People with high per capita income wouldn't know what it's like when their stomachs are starving because they have nothing to eat. They are not people who have ever felt the cold because they could not buy thick enough padding. They were people who wouldn't understand what it was like to work in
"Ah, my head is throbbing with pain," Dakota said softly so that none of them could hear him. Dakota closed his eyes, and he tilted his head because he felt that his head was too busy listening to the various thoughts of the people in that place. Dakota looked overwhelmed. It was a new experience that Dakota had never imagined would happen and was distressing."This moon goddess statue is not only a good luck charm. This statue can also make you who have it a great person for having it. You can be proud of your ownership of this statue because there is only one statue of this kind in the world, considering that this statue is the last work that Balo Cassapio did." The auctioneer encouraged the audience in front of him to be persuaded by him.He knew the characters of the rich people in front of him quite well. All he had to do was provoke them with their high egos and say things that praised their habits as if they were commonplace. After that, they will be in his trap, competing to b
"Hey, hurry up and prove your words." The man beside Dakota asked her to give proof.The front man, wearing a maroon-coloured suit, also turned his head back and looked at Dakota. "Be responsible with your words and show what you believe in. Act like a gentleman!"They began to feel uneasy. On the one hand, they were so used to the event that they thought there was no problem with the organiser. They trusted the auction event organised by the hotel. But on the other hand, they felt disturbed and anxious because of Dakota's words. So they wanted Dakota to prove her words earlier.The woman wearing a gold dress with a sheath cut glanced at him sharply. "You're ruining the atmosphere at the auction this time with your words, and it seems like you're a new person who doesn't understand the auction rules. Miss, why did you let your partner make a scene here when you seem to understand what the rules of this event are." The woman turned to attack Anna.Anna was silent, unable to answer. She
"That's right. With just a glance, people wouldn't realize the important details Balo put into his work. And people wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between the real and fake statues. But now that we know about it, we can tell the difference." Dakota walked closer to the podium."That's not true!" The man hosting the auction denied it.Dakota stared at the man. "What part of that don't you think is true?" Dakota asked him, knowing full well that what he said was the truth that only a few people in the art industry knew.He was sure that the guests who came today were not people who knew the quality of art; he was confident that the people in that place only came there to do the auction as entertainment and a business for them to show off how much money they could spend, so they would not be able to distinguish the authenticity of an art object they bought there unless they met a famous art observer and asked him to check the authenticity of the art object they had.Even if
"How did you know?" Anna approached Dakota, who had come down from the podium. The woman immediately took his hand even though she could have stayed where she was because Dakota would have approached her even if she stayed there.Dakota smiled, but he didn't respond much. Because the truth was that he knew the lie thanks to something he couldn't explain to Anna. Something that would be hard to understand even if he tried to explain it.Anna stared at him in amazement. The more Dakota got, the more amazed she became at his figure. "How did you know? You have such incredible knowledge. The more I get to know you, the more amazed I become. No wonder your life is changing rapidly. You will become successful in the future." Anna praised him.Dakota smiled a little. "Yes, probably." He replied, not wanting to appear arrogant. "Luckily, you listened to me, and I found out that it's a fake and shouldn't be an item bought at such a high price, even if it looks very similar."Anna nodded, a gri
