"Kitten you don't have to look at me like that-Ooffff!!!"

Dakota who was resting on the bed was thrown with a pillow.

"Ahem* so you are awake why are you still holding me?" Kannon coughed as she composed herself towards Dakota.

"Can't I?" Dakota had a mischievous smirk plastered in her face.

"No"

"Then eat with me today" Dakota stated as she held the pillow that Kannon threw at her.

"I still have to gather my things since I have work today" Kannon tried to reasoned out.

"Speaking of which some of my things are still missing" Kannon was referring to the other night.

"They must have already gotten rid of it list them in a paper and we'll buy them together. Your workplace in Vermilion district is way too dangerous why do you even work there?" Dakota was rather displeased.

"Well they have a good pay there" Kannon spoke as she fidgeted with her fingers.

Although Dakota already knew the reason she just wanted to confirm it from Kannon's own mouth.

"If it's about money you could work here in my condo. Cleaning, laundry and cooking" Dakota brought up, her tone was serious and her words were blunt.

A maid??

Kannon thought, well doing something like that is way too similar on what she does in the hotel. Actually she isn't just a waitress but her job is just as flexible, sometimes she is assigned in the housekeeping, then to the kitchen and cleans while attending to guests.

"Well my apartment and your location is kind of pretty far so it is kind on inconvenient" Kannon replied.

"You could stay here and use the guest room"

Wha-???

Kannon was speechless with Dakota's bluntness.

"What if I go in heat?!" Kannon thought that what Dakota brought up was unreasonable.

"Don't worry I'd be often on business trips and in work" Dakota stared at her very seriously.

"Plus security here is tight and I could assign bodyguards to look after you in case another shenanigan would occur" she added.

"What about my apartment?" Kannon asked worriedly.

"I'll tell my men to move your things out and move them in here"

"Then what about pay?"

"50, 000 yen per month" Dakota replied still looking very serious negotiating with Kannon.

F-fifty thousand yen??!

[Note: their currency (yen) in this world has a much higher value]

Kannon was in gape as she heard Dakota's words, she could hear the bell ringing in her head as money finally rain on her.

"Deal" Kannon spoke her eyes were burning with passion.

"From now on you are employed"

Yet she did not see the cunning smirk in Dakota's face.

Another set of clothes arrived for Kannon as they both changed into new garments, Dakota took her to one of the most expensive restaurants and booked everything on it as she and Kannon had a pleasurable breakfast.

"I am going to head to work" Dakota spoke as she looked at Kannon who was sitting inside the car while Dakota was standing outside with her hand clutching the door.

"Oh then work hard!" Kannon replied with a bright smile on her face.

"Let's have lunch together, the driver will drive you to a clothing store where to get measurements for new clothes" Dakota smiled before she shut the door and walked towards the company.

"Good morning Ms Kaede" the female employees were rather active as they greeted Dakota.

"Good morning Ms Kaede, I have already arrange your schedule for the day" Yui spoke as she walked towards Dakota, her aura was confident and elegant that really attracts people's awe. The young miss Kagami family really proves that she belongs to the high society.

"Morning Ms Kagami, then please take care of me today" Dakota gave a wink and a playful smile as she checked her schedule before proceeding to her office.

Today was a big moment as Dakota introduced the new 'shareholders' of the company greeting them showing everyone how much of a trusted personnel she is to the sharehodlers.

"It seems like she is just tasked to buy the shares from the previous shareholders but the ones that owns those shares are these people"

"Even so she is just so professional handling them like that"

"As expected of an alpha"

Dakota was preparing to leave as she was about to walk out of her office.

"Can I have lunch with you?" Yui spoke very timidly, she brushed her hair behind her ear as she shyly looked at Dakota.

Dakota turned back and had a slightly troubled expression on her face.

"Well I promised to eat lunch with someone very important" Dakota replied honestly then she saw Yui's sad look, the glimmer in her eyes suddenly faded which made Dakota feel a little guilty.

"Oh"

Yui thought that what Dakota implied as 'very important' is one of the shareholders.

"We could grab a bite tonight how about at 7? Sounds good?" Dakota gave a smile though she prefer to spend her time with Kannon she could not ignore Yui.

"Yes!" Yui had a stunning smile on her face as she replied.

"And I won't be here in the afternoon how about take some break? And I'll see you later!" Dakota immediately rushed outside and didn't notice her father was watching at her from afar.

"Go find out what she's doing" Mr Kaede spoke towards Norman, his assistant.

His pair of piercing eyes never left Dakota, her usual cold expression when facing to him was replaced with a gentle expression whenever she is with Yui. Not even Desmund her fiancé could put such an expression to her face which makes Mr Kaede wonder about Yui's relation with her.

"Yes sir" Norman responded also noticing Dakota's change.

"How's your day?" Dakota asked as she looked at Kannon.

"Tiring!" she replied as she slumped on the chair, who knew that measuring her body for new clothes would be so tiring? Not only that those tailor made her their dress up doll with dressing her up with one clothes after another.

"How about I take you to mall after this?" Dakota smiled at Kannon.

After they had lunch Dakota drove the both of them to Hiraeth city's biggest mall, although it was quite a distance Dakota still brought Kannon there.

"So what phone brand so you like?" Dakota spoke as she held Kannon's hand.

Ehh??

Kannon stared at her hand wrapped around with Dakota's, even the surrounding people are looking at them differently.

"Dakota...peope are looking at us as if we are dating even though we are not!!" Kannon whined towards her.

"Then shall we date?" Dakota had a serious expression on her face making Kannon unable to take her words lightly.

"I thought I was your maid?" Kannon raised a brow as she shot her a suspicious look.

She employed me as a maid was I tricked??

"Not if we are out of my apartment" Dakota's serious expression changed into a playful one as she smirked.

"You-!!" Kannon did not know what to say as she already signed a contract with Dakota, which means she's stuck with her.
