"Take this to their floor. There's a photoshoot going on there, and they need it." One of the staff on duty ordered Dakota to deliver the clothes that would be used by one of their talents for promotional purposes.

Dakota settled on a black protective suit. He only took a peek at the top and knew it was some kind of suit. "On the seventh floor. Which room?" He asked, making sure because he didn't want to stand there confused, looking for his room. Then the last one came back again to ask.

The woman commanding him gave him a bemused look. She did seem to be busy with various matters. "Just go there, and you'll meet one of the crew. I told you that you'd be the one to escort them, and they'll be waiting for you at the door." He explained. "Get there quickly."

"Okay." Not saying much, Dakota immediately took him to the seventh floor. He waited in front of the elevator for a while, along with several other people. Then, when the door opened, Dakota was about to enter but was first grabbed

    Dakota followed the man-Edmund-who was their manager. This was his second time meeting the man after this morning. The man sat down at his desk and looked at Dakota. He seemed to be looking for something in his drawer, then placed it on the table at Dakota. "Take this document outside. There will be a man waiting by the maple tree. You give it to him directly." Edmund explained as he looked at her.Dakota stared at the document. "Okay." He nodded, taking the brown envelope containing the document. Then, just as Dakota touched the file in his hand, he heard the man's inner voice, which made Dakota look at him."I can't wait for them to receive the paperwork, and then they'll send the money to my account." Dakota noticed the smile on Edmund's face with his focused gaze, looking at the Document in his hand.The man's thoughts piqued Dakota's curiosity. He eyed the file suspiciously and then looked at Edmund with his eyebrows knitted together. "What document am I currently about to delive

    "So, how's it going? Is our plan going to be okay?" The man asked Edmund. They were in Edmund's room, and the door was closed.Edmun looked at him seriously. "Yes. It seems so." Edmund looked at him while saying that with conviction. "Only then will we leave this place." The room was silent, with only the sound of their voices talking that made the sudden creaking sound of the door opening made them turn their heads immediately towards Dakota, who seemed to have fallen in front of the slightly open door.They both looked at him in surprise and were stunned for a moment, as well as Dakota. But unlike them, Dakota wasn't amazed. He only pretended to look clumsy. "I'm sorry, manager Edmund, I overheard your conversation." He showed his innocent face.Edmund walked up to him, took his hand, and put his arm on the wall next to the door, staring intently at Dakota. "What are you doing in this place?" He pulled Dakota up and led him to the corner of the room, then turned to the person he had

    "Argh damn, just pissed off!" Jake, who couldn't stand it, tried to hit him, but Dakota, who knew the tactic through his ability, quickly dodged his punch by moving in another direction.Dakota snorted with laughter. "Aw, you missed. Too bad." He showed him disappointed face, looking at the man who looked annoyed. "Don't be mad." Dakota coaxes him.Seeing that Edmund was even more upset, he also swung a punch from the other direction strongly. But because Dakota dodged to his side, Edmund's punch met with Jake, who was also trying to hit Dakota quite strongly because he failed in hitting Dakota earlier."Argh, damn you. You bastard!" Edmund, who fell groaning in pain, held his face, which was punched by Jake unintentionally. Both of them did not realize that they hit each other.Likewise, Jake grimaced at Dakota. "This bastard! How dare you hit me? You're looking dead, huh?!" He snapped loudly. His gaze turned sharp and dark while his face turned red.Dakota was flabbergasted. he was

    Edmund laughed. "Just two interns." He teased them. "How is that any different from how things were before? You two are both so stupid, you won't make much of an impact." Edmund spoke lightly.Jake, who was quite far away from him, came a bit closer. He was a bit puzzled by how Willy was able to open the door that he had locked earlier, but getting a key was not a difficult matter when Willy and Dakota were cunning and manipulative like them. He also thought that the two boys just wanted to play a trick on them, so he tried to stay calm and not get provoked. "Besides, your apprentices are just little kids who are new to the working world, do you think you can threaten us?" He smiled at the two naive boys in front of him.Both Dakota and Willy knew that the world of work is not a simple thing. There are too many parties that conflict with each other even though they have the same goal, then there are so many dirty games that are carried out for a goal that some of them think is the rig

    "So hard to hear from you, Dakota?" Willy spoke into their connected phone, his voice sounding like he was sulking.It had been a few months since their graduation from university and each of them was now busy looking for jobs, pursuing their dreams or aspirations, including Dakota and Willy.Dakota, who was sitting in a cafe, was staring out the window as he listened to Willy. "Well, I have something I'm doing, so I'm a little distracted." He was indeed focused on something at the moment."Ah, about my offer last time, I was wondering why you turned it down?" Willy sounded curious on the other end of the line. "Why did you refuse to work at my mother's company?" Even though everyone hopes to work in a big company with connections, Dakota refuses. "I didn't offer you because I knew you or felt indebted to you because of the many favours you did, like last time. But because I recognized your potential, I felt the company would really need someone like you." Willy explained.Dakota ran

    "Ah, so you are a chef." Dakota smiled stiffly. He felt guilty because of her previous thoughts. He shouldn't judge someone based on their appearance alone. Even though he used to be judged by many people just by his appearance, he felt no different from those people.The man who had almost finished his food glanced at Dakota, then raised the food with a small gesture. "Thank you for the food, and sorry for startling you earlier." The man said it sincerely, and Dakota cursed himself for having misjudged the man and carelessly pitied him.Dakota shook his head. "Not a problem."But the man didn't seem to accept. "I have to pay for what you gave me." He insisted.Dakota didn't feel he needed to go that far. "You didn't have to bother, I helped you without much thought." Dakota rejected him.The man got up from where he was sitting and threw the empty food wrapper into the trash can that was a short distance from their seats. "You can't do that. I'm a man of principles. If someone gives

    "Don't make that confused face, I know you're a rich man." Dave chuckled at Dakota.Dakota narrowed his eyes to look at Dave. "How did you know-""Know?" Dave cut in. "Don't get confused, just look at the clothes you're wearing. How could I not recognize you." Bright Dave pointed at Dakota with his glance.Dakota looked at what he was wearing, and he nodded. Lately, he had been paying more attention to his appearance because everything was going well. His investments were in a safe situation, trading was going smoothly, and he would also build a company together with Anna in the future, so he paid attention to his appearance. Since he could spend his money on extravagant expenses like the clothes from luxury brands that he wore, he just adjusted it. After all, he was no longer a poor Dakota but a successful investment in his field.Dakota finished his meal, and he wiped his lips with a tissue. "What can you offer from the investment you want? I don't think it matters much to me if it'

    "When are you going to start deciding to become the head of this company?" Anna walked beside him.They were at the company office they had discussed for a few weeks. The office was already up and running. But Dakota only came for a small tour accompanied by Anna.Dakota stares at the minimalist office while observing what the employees are doing there and noticing if anything is missing from the place. He would soon add his needs to Anna's. "I can't join you now."Anna looked at him in surprise. "You still have no intention of joining?" Anna stopped them near the corridor that connected each room.From the beginning, Dakota did not intend to focus only on that matter. He asked for Anna's help for a reason. He wanted Anna to be hia representative there while he worked on other things simultaneously. "I can't stay with just one company. That's why I'm proposing this partnership with you. I'll still be a part of the company but I won't stay." He explained. "All work will require my perm

    "What is this? Why is the news like this?" the aunt stared at the screen dumbfounded.The news they prepared and presented to the media to attack Dakota suddenly turned around and attacked them. Moreover, the news exposed their family's confidential matters."It is known that the family of the O'connor family heir's adoptive father before returning to the O'connor family treated the heir with bad manners." The man presenting the news spoke loudly with the news. "They took the money from her father's death insurance without giving any of the money left to Dakota."They were dumbfounded, looking at each other. Not understanding how it could have happened. They had no idea that news about themselves would be exposed to the media. They weren't necessary, so they didn't think the press would target them."How did they find out about that?" They were stunned. Even Dakota didn't know about her adoptive father's insurance, and his will wasn't read in front of her. She hadn't received any supp

    "What the hell is Dakota doing to us?" Said the uncle, who was currently on the side of the road not far from Dakota's company.They were all forcibly evicted by the security guards and threatened to be reported to the authorities if they were still there. So, with the people forced to leave, they looked disgruntled and upset."I don't accept what he did to us." The aunt coaxing Dakota with her sweet words now showed her true face. "She can't just kick us out."The people strolling and blocking the other pedestrians seemed to be very indifferent to the other people. They walked and stopped, walked and stopped again without caring.There were three women and two men, but none cared about Dakota.The woman who had blonde hair and looked younger than them looked at her brothers with a similar look on her face. "He can't be allowed. We must teach Dakota a lesson." The woman privatized hi,."Lesson?" The woman who approached Dakota earlier turned his attention to the woman. "What do you me

    "Dakota, you're such a joker." The woman, whose face looked shocked a moment ago, now turned soft. She chuckled while patting Dakota's arm.But Dakota had a different expression. He ignored what the woman was doing and just glanced at her with her gaze looking down because they were quite short and too close to her.The woman touched Dakota's hand like she was used to doing that every time she met Dakota. She didn't seem awkward at all, even though to Dakota, what she was doing was a nuisance.The woman's eyes widened, and with her face as friendly as possible, she spoke, "You are very easy to joke with. I can tell that you're a good person." She complimented Dakota, flicking her gaze towards the others, and the men greeted the woman's words with pitched exclamations. "After all, we're the ones who took care of you when you were little. If it wasn't for us, you wouldn't be in this place right now." She spoke with pride."That's right!" The others exclaimed. "We are the family that too

    "I told you to let me in!" Snapped the man, Dakota's uncle, while Dakota's status was unknown.Because the news about Dakota circulated across the country and appeared in the newspapers, people who recognized Dakota recognized Dakota's picture, which was only taken briefly because the O'Connor family still guarded his identity.But for people who intersect with her, of course, Dakota's silhouette is so easy for them to recognize. Therefore, the uncle is currently in the leading company owned by the O'Connor family to find Dakota."Sorry, but you can't come in." The guard at the building's main door blocked his uncle Dakota's attempt to break in.Since they were so insistent on getting in, they seemed normal at first. But when asked what their purpose was and if they had made a schedule to meet, the people, instead of answering argued to be allowed to enter.The man with slightly bleached hair near his ears brushed off the guard's hand. "I told you I was his uncle! Didn't you hear me?"

    "How could this be Dakota?" The voice of a woman in the crowd on the street, staring at the street billboard that showed an announcement about Dakota.The woman stared wide-eyed at Dakota's appearance, which had changed 180 degrees from the Dakota she once recognized. The woman tightly clenched her hand that held her bag tightly, her eyes did not move from where they were, listening to the news being aired all over the country.She was Gea, the woman who rejected Dakota's love five times because Dakota was just a poor man. Gea used to really dislike Dakota because of Dakota's poor status. She was upset that a poor man like Dakota dared to like someone like her.But now, Gea seemed frustrated to know the truth. "I should have just accepted it back then." She regretted it. "If I was with him, my life wouldn't have been possible like it is today."She grumbled in annoyance, her past suddenly came back into her head, she remembered the figure of Dakota who used to like her but she rejecte

    "I heard that there are many guests coming today." A glamorous woman in a dress cut low on the chest spoke to a man before her.The man nodded. "Yes. I saw from the guest list that the guests invited by them are three times more than the guests they usually invite." The classic-looking man responded.Many people dressed in luxurious clothes in the ballroom of the residence occupied by the O'Connor family as one of their leisure homes.They wore hand oes, clothes, and jewelry from world designers with limited items. They seemed to enjoy the party even though the main event had not started.Their conversations varied, ranging from simple greetings by those who rarely met because they had their own busy schedules, talking about business and what was trending among the upper-class people, to talking about their respective lifestyles as show-offs."Almost everyone who comes to this place is critical." In the middle of the party, the other guests were observing the guests.The woman with br

    "I got a lot done today." Dakota stretches his shoulders in the spinning chair before the computer screen.A few days ago, James had given him various assignments that suddenly became jobs he had to take care of and learn about.Starting with learning about their family tree, the company run by their family, and the people involved with their family, all Dakota learned because of James' orders to him.James wanted Dakota to know that as a basis, then after he understood it, James made Dakota tour each of their subsidiaries, but Dakota was there to accompany him and look around.For a whole week, Dakota's schedule was packed with things James had in mind after observing him. Dakota still remembers that just when he thought his schedule was over, James said, "It's time to introduce you to the public. You've prepared everything you need to know, and now it's time for you to emerge as the heir of the O'Connor family.""I have prepared the guest list. Mr. James said you need to look at it

    "Hands off!" she snapped at the officer loudly. "What are you doing?" he looked panicked and worriedly at Dakota. "Sorry I came late, sir."All of them looked shocked and couldn't believe what they saw, especially the manager and the security guard, who recognized the man with the cane as their senior officer in the mall. The man was the highest leader of their branch mall. He was the managing director.The manager looked nervous. He read the situation and tried to realize what was happening. "Mr. Director, what are you doing here?" he looked confused. "Don't you have an important meeting today? Why can't you?" Those questions came to mind.As he said them one by one, he was like getting the scattered puzzle pieces and being able to put them together clearly, then his face turned anxious and panicked looking at Dakota.He looked at Dakota with a fierce look. "No way, so he owns this mall, like he said? he's not lying?" the man thought to himself.Dakota glanced at him with a slight sn

    "Come to the watchdog room section. Some people are giving me a hard time in this place," Dakota said right after their call was connected."You're currently at the mall, sir?" the voice on the other end sounded panicked. Without giving Dakota a chance to answer his question, he spoke again, "Yes, sir, I'll be right there." He ended their phone call. He ended their phone call.Dakota contacted one of the highest-ranking staff in the mall. It was true that Dakota did have the largest share there. But he did not run it and take a position as one of the board of directors there because his work was already too much, and he just wanted to take his profit opportunities.Being an investor for them was much more flexible because he couldn't divide his time while he had a lot of work.As their call ended, the woman looked at him with a laugh. "What are you doing? Who did you call?" She chuckled. She really couldn't believe that Dakota was the one who owned such a big mall.Even being one of t
