(Cedrick POV)
“Ouch. Cedrick, she isn't interested in you." As if I'm the one who's interested in the woman. "Perhaps she is interested in me?"
“How did you get such a thick face?” Ah! It's natural for an arrogant individual to act this way. But please remember that I am not interested in even a single strand of your hair. It didn't even cross my mind to like you. I won't ever fall for you. Arrogant! Tss. I'm just wasting my time here. Kindly give me the money, now.”
"Really? You can't possibly love someone like me? Miss Dahlia, maybe you're not aware who you are talking to.” It is a sense of warning.
"No!" The woman responded aloud.
Master Kai, I think we are also wasting a lot of time here, dealing a nonsense thing.
"Please have a seat." Oh sh*t. He wants to prolong the discussion.
(Dahlia POV)But now I'm wondering how to retrieve the money Grandma thought she had.So, I went straight to the police station. I reported about the transaction and the fake money that we received. But what I got…“What makes you think they should compensate you, Miss? Your Grandma’s cafe was one of the tenants in the lot you didn't own. Miss Sha-sha has come to report on this incident. Here's her affidavit. It is stated that the party who purchased the land has no obligation to pay you. It's a good thing the money they offered you was fake. If you accept real money, you could be sued.""Are we really going to get nothing from them, Sir? I mean, they trick us.""It's the same as this, Miss; if you're fighting for something, hire a lawyer and go to court to sue them, so that we can have the warrant arrest if it's proven that they're offenders."
(Dahlia POV)When I entered Carlo's room and saw him, I knew he would recover quickly. I need to talk to him; he'll be up shortly. But just because Kai is suddenly doing something for Carlo doesn't mean we can't sue him. I know Auntie will fight for her son's justice. Especially, Auntieis after the compensation,not because her son was hurt. Or maybe I'm just having terrible thoughts about Carlo's parents. I underestimate their ability to be a parent. They might not be looking for money at all.Hopefully, Auntie will imprison Kai Carter for being a mean guy and make him pay for what he did. I want him to rot in prison. However, there may be a backlash against my wishes; many women, particularly those who know him, may object. He's much too attractive. He isdangerous for a woman. And I know that thing is not impossible. I wonder how many women you made cry, Kai Carter?Since so much had happened throughout the day,
(Dahlia POV)"OUT!"“I repeat Miss, nothing is impossible with what I want to happen. Do you want proof? Cedrick!” When he called Cedrick, his voice was so loud that I had to close my eyes. The seriousness of his words dawned on me. His voice changes suddenly…His secretary walked in right away."Kai, Master." Cedrick stepped in; his gaze fixed on me. Two pairs of eyes stare at me as if they want to kill me.I'm not afraid of death because my grim reaper was too lazy to do his job. I don't mind their cautious look. Whatever.Cedrick's venomous stare appears to be asking me what I did to his boss. While the one in front of me is pondering dark thoughtsabout me.I know he is. Kai, chill, will you?"Make sure he's in front of me this dinner, Cedrick," Kai told his secretary threateningly, without even looking at him."However,
(Venal POV)My employees notified me after the conference that Master Dryzen's luggage had arrived. I discovered him analyzing ancient relics in the laboratory with some highly adept scientists."Master Dryzen, the collected pawn gems have arrived."Master Dryzen removed his gloves and then turned away from what he was doing. I followed him into the room where the expensive jewelry was being delivered. Master Dryzen was motivated to collect the pawned jewels because he was looking for a rare stone. He wishes that the key to the dragon's kingdom would be in his hands sooner. We, and especially him, amassed a collection of pawnbrokers' jewelry, supposedly containing the stone he sought.On the table were rows of highly protected sealed luggage. The staff opened it one at a time,so Master Dryzen could see what was within. We looked through a lot, but it was clear from Master Dryzen's expression that he wasn't finding what he was search
(Venal POV)"I think that's the perfect dress for you." I overheard a man remark for Miss Dahlia. I need to capture his image to figure out who he is, so I'll stay where I am. And if I have the chance to confront Miss Dahlia, I should tellher the Dragon prince's desire. Whatever happens, she must agree with me."Within one hour, I take off this itchy dress." It's Miss Dahlia's irritated voice. She seemed to be irritated by the clothing... That indicates she was compelled to wear the gown.Wait. Did I give my supervisor incorrect information? Tss. I take a long breath and rub my temples, trying to figure out how to explain this misinterpretationto my boss. My life was jeopardized as a result of my actions. Damn. What are you really doing here Miss Dahlia?"Please take this as a warning, Miss Dahlia.If you did something wrong, your loved ones would perish one by one."Oh
(Dahlia POV)They were about to drag me, but I managed to elude their grasp."I'm sure it's apparent to you, Miss Dahlia, what we discussed. So you have to cooperate with them.” Cedrick reminds me. "You know what will happen if we don't arrive at Master Kai's dinner in time. So, be obedient and collaborate with them."The only thing I could do with what Cedrick said was stared at him evilly. I really didn't expect my situation to be like this. I need to end the madness; they are doing to our family. For now, I should be obedient and follow their desire.I didn't oppose when they dragged me. I couldn't complain because they were obviouslyin a hurry.“Take a bath first Miss, within four minutes. Allow them to assist you to make things easier. I'll simply talk to Cedrick about giving more time he provides us to get you ready. Tss. He thinks it is easy to makeoversomeone like you. It's obvious we will have a har
(Dahlia POV)"Wonderful work, ladies!" Laurel appeared and expressed his appreciation for his team's ability to perform my makeover. But the way he looked at me, he seemed dissatisfied, perhaps he is a little jealous, and insecure about me"She's changed in some ways. She no longer smells like a street rat."What do you expect from a lady locked within a man's body? If a gay person isn't friendly, they're rude and uncomfortable, which has driven them to be criticized harshly. If he doesn't stop hurling insults at me and my patience runs out, I won't be able to resist tossing my fist at him. So, Mr. Laurel, if I were you, please shut up.I'm not bragging about what's going on right now. I'm really annoyed, Laurel. If you could only be me, I'd let it happen. You appear to be quite interested in dating that pompous prince."Bring in the outfits I picked out for her. Let's see whether my lovely dresses fit her. Tsk."
(Dahlia POV)We boarded an elevator reserved for VIP guests. Cedrick and I were the onlypassengers on the elevator, as his men remained at the hotel lounge. Until Cedrick shattered the silence between us."If I were you, Miss Dahlia, I would be polite and mindful of my manners when in the presence of Master Kai. So he doesn't become overly interested in you. You know what I mean, right?”"Is that a gentle nudge, Cedrick?" He's older than I am. But, despite the wrinkles in his eyes and the poor quality of his skin, he wasn't so older to be unsightly. Cedrick was also an attractive man. Is he already married? Does he have children? I don't think so. With everything he does as a millionaire businessman's secretary, I doubt he has time to mingle. Poor Cedrick."It's a point of concern for you, Miss. You have no idea who he is.""Too arrogant is the best way to describe him. That was
