Chapter 6 There was no hope in Dakota’s eyes as she knew the situation was now set in stone.
Who knew Bobby had frozen upon hearing Cameron’s words. Naturally, Dakota had no clue what was going on. After thanking Cameron, she turned to leave. “One moment, Ms. Dakota!” Bobby called.
“What's the matter, Mr. Kane?” Dakota asked politely. She didn’t think Bobby would change his mind, so she assumed he wanted to speak to her about something else.
“After some thinking, I've decided that your proposal is pretty well done. We can work together for sure!” Bobby said, much to Dakota’s shock.
“Really, Mr. Kane?” Dakota asked nervously as she gazed at Bobby.
“Of course, Ms. Dakota,” Bobby answered. In truth, he was much more nervous than Dakota was. All because Cameron had spoken up about it!
Dakota was touched. She would never have dreamt Bobby would change his mind!
Was it because of that man standing beside Bobby?
Dakota turned to Cameron.
“I'll call you tomorrow for the contract signing after the company meeting,” Bobby said. His attitude had taken a 180 degree turn from his initial demeanor.
“Okay, Mr. Kane. Thank you so much!” Dakota thanked him gratefully. “The pleasure is mine, Ms. Dakota.”
“| won't disturb either of you further then,” Dakota said. Knowing Bobby’s change of attitude towards her was only because of Cameron, she didn’t want to be a bother to them.
“Alright, Ms. Dakota. Be seeing you.”
“See you later, Mr. Kane.”
Dakota then turned to leave the building.
Before she did though, she shot Cameron a curious look.
After Dakota left, Bobby asked Cameron, “Do you know Ms. Dakota, Mr. Morgan?” “Yes.” Cameron nodded.
“Then regarding the profit ratio, sir?” Bobby asked for Cameron’s instruction. “Help the Jennings family as much as possible.”
“Yes, Mr. Morgan!” Bobby replied.
He shivered lightly internally. Looks like Dakota’s relationship with Cameron wasn’t a simple one if the latter could say something like this.
Bobby nearly made a grave mistake earlier!
“I'll leave the contract signing to you then, Mr. Kane. I'll be leaving first,” Cameron said.
All he wanted to do now was to see Dakota again.
“Take care, Mr. Morgan,” Bobby said respectfully as Cameron left.
Cameron thought Dakota would’ve gone far, but when he went out past the entrance, he saw Dakota standing right outside. When Dakota saw Cameron, she said happily, “Oh, hi there!”
“Were you waiting for me?” Cameron said.
“Mhm.” Dakota nodded. She then thanked him, “Thank you so much for what you did earlier!”
“You're welcome, Ms. Dakota. Mr. Kane only agreed to work with you because your proposal was well thought out,” Cameron said with a smile.
Dakota saw how kind and gentle Cameron was. What was more important was the fact that he wasn’t acting high and mighty after helping her with something so important.
“Um... are you free now?” Dakota asked. “Yes. Why?”
“I-L would like to buy you a cup of coffee as thanks for helping me. Of course... | don’t intend to just repay the favor with a drink, | just genuinely want to show my gratitude to you. You can refuse if you find it troublesome—”
“No trouble at all. I'd love a cup of coffee,” Cameron smiled, cutting Dakota off. “Really?” Dakota gazed happily at him.
She finally had a chance to properly thank him!
“Really.” Cameron's smile remained warm as ever.
“That’s great! Do you prefer coffee or tea?”
“You can pick for me. I’m fine with whichever,” Cameron replied.
He wanted to use this opportunity to ascertain Dakota’s identity.
“Then let’s head to Islander’s Cafe. They have really genuine coffee and it’s right nearby. It won’t take up too much of your time,” Dakota suggested.
Her expression was one of pure excitement.
“Sure thing.” Cameron grinned.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at Islander’s Cafe. After finding a spot to sit, Dakota ordered two of their signature cappuccinos, one each for both of them.
As she stirred her coffee, Dakota said happily, “The cappuccino here is really famous. Why don’t you give it a try?” “Alright,” Cameron responded. He took a sip of the coffee. “Mm. This is really good.”
“Right?” Dakota grinned, meeting Cameron’s eyes. “Oh, | forgot to introduce myself. I’m Dakota Jennings. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Thank you so much for helping me earlier!”
“It's a pleasure to meet you too, Ms. Dakota,” Cameron said with a smile.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“| truly am thankful for what you did earlier. Mr. Kane wouldn’t have agreed to work with me if you hadn’t put in a good word. By the way, how do you know Mr. Kane? I’ve never seen him take advice from other people before meeting you.”
Dakota’s eyes were filled with curiosity as she gazed at Cameron. She knew instinctively the reason why Mr. Kane agreed to work with her had something to do with him.
“Well, about that...” Cameron clicked his tongue and said half-jokingly, “Would you believe me if | told you I was his boss?” “You're his boss?” Dakota’s eyes widened in disbelief. “But | heard Mr. Kane has to answer to Blackheart.”
“Haha! What if | told you I’m Blackheart’s boss too?” Cameron said with a chuckle.
Dakota saw that Cameron was joking, so she grinned. “You’re kind of funny, you know that?”
“Haha, | think so too.” Cameron laughed out loud.
Dakota then asked, “Right, | still don’t know your name even after we've talked for so long.”
“Who, me?” Cameron smiled. “I’m Cam...”
Buzz.
Dakota’s phone suddenly vibrated on the table.
She glanced at the screen and saw it was Madison calling.
