Eat the Rich [ Daisuke Kambe x OC ] ★ A Fugou Keiji Balance: Unlimited Story

Chapter 1: A New Coworker

It was only 6:20 AM but the streets of Osaka was already bustling with people. The weather today was quite nice too and it would be a shame if I would not take this time to walk around the city. Well not really around, just towards my workplace.

"You can drop me off here, Mr. Jung" I say as I pick up my belongings, ready to get off the car.

"Are you sure Lady Akira?" My butler asks.

I nod quietly and the car halts to a stop. Mr. Jung was about to go down to open the door for me but I beat him to it.

"Mr. Jung, I'm old enough to do that" I huffed. Mr. Jung had been my personal butler for twenty years and sometimes he forgets that I'm an adult and still treats me like a child.

Mr. Jung lets out a soft chuckle. "As you wish, Lady Akira."

I closed the door behind me and thanked Mr. Jung.

My work begins at 7:30 AM so I decided to grab breakfast at a local cafe that I have frequented during the past week.

The wind chime tinkles as I pushed the cafe doors open, creating a lovely sound. The smell of freshly brewed coffee and newly baked pastries filled the air.

I ordered a blueberry yogurt cake and a cup of black coffee. After eating breakfast, I decided to buy coffee for my work mates, I'm really not sure what kind of coffee they liked so I went for the classic cappuccino. I wanted to give them a little something since I was away for two days because to assist a case in Shinagawa in Tokyo.

The waiter was kind enough to open the door for me after seeing me carrying multiple bags.
I thanked him and went on my way.

My workplace was only a block away from the cafe so I arrived thirty minutes early for work. Being punctual was an attitude my parents had ingrained in me ever since I was little because I quote my father's words: Time is money.

The elevator dings and I arrive at the 5th floor. I knocked on the office door before opening it.

As expected, I was the first one to arrive. I carefully placed my handbag down and placed the coffee on top of their desks. After distributing the coffee, I realized that I had missed one desk.

That was strange. I had only brought six with me so why were there seven seats?

Nah. It's probably just an extra chair.

I quickly dismissed the thought.

There was still enough time for a short nap so I drifted off to sleep.

★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

That was my alarm. My phone was pressed against my cheek and I groggily turned it off without lifting my head. To be frank, I still wanted to sleep a little more since I only had two hours of sleep last night because I was finishing up my paperworks. But my peaceful moment disappears as I hear a very familiar voice whispering against my ear.

"Hey it's time to wake up, idiot princess"

I opened my eyes and turned to look at the owner of the voice.

Light gray eyes stared back at me.

As realization finally dawns me, my face burns in both embarrassment and disbelief. I bolted upright on my chair and scrambled away from my desk. Manners be damned I was scared out of my life.

"Daisuke Kambe," I seethed while pointing a finger at him"What the hell are you doing in here?"

The clicking of the keyboard pauses as my co workers stops what they were doing to check on the sudden commotion.

He just raises his brow and shrugs. "I just started working here two days ago"

"I swear if you're stalking me, I'm calling the police"

"But have you forgotten, I am a police officer too" Daisuke grins, crossing his arms over his chest. As usual, the devil was wearing his usual black suit with a maroon button down accented with a white-colored collar and cuffs.

I turned to look at my coworkers in disbelief.

Why hasn't anyone told me about this!

Kiyomizu was scratching the back of his head. "Sorry Akira-san, it got really busy so I forgot to tell you. Like what Mr. Kambe has said, he just joined our ranks two days ago"

I shook my hands in front of me. "No. No. It's alright! I'm sorry for over reacting. Please continue working."

They all nod and I sat back on my chair. I need to bring back my composure since I have a lot of work to do.

"Next time get me a cup of coffee too" Daisuke teases.

"You can ask your butler to get them for you" I rolled my eyes and opened my laptop, I still have to write a report on the Shinagawa incident.

"How rude of you Ms. Yanai, talking to a friend like that" He looks at me sideways and gives me a smug look.

"Why you-"

Haru cuts me off and speaks in a stern voice. "Enough. If you have personal business, discuss them outside."

I quietly apologized to Haru and he just nods in acknowledgement. I take one last look at Daisuke and resumed working.

Daisuke, you truly are the bane of my existence.

★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★

After finishing my report, Mr. Kiyomizu asked us to investigate an incident in Abeno.
By us I meant, Haru, me and Daisuke. There had been a kidnapping incident and it was reported that the kid had been missing for more than twenty four hours so we were asked to proceed immediately.

"I'll drive. Go sit on the back seat" I opened my gloved palm, waiting for Daisuke to hand me over his car keys.

"No. This is my car. I'll drive." Daisuke insists.

"You drive with half a brain. I don't want to die young"

I was aware of how much of a reckless driver Daisuke is and I really don't want to get into an accident today. After all, we still have a kid to save.

"Stop  over reacting. If ever this ride kills you I will compensate for it." The black haired man smirks. I fought the urge to smack his face and swiftly took the car key from him.

"Hey give that back!"

I slammed the door shut on his face.

I turned the key on the ignition and the engine roars to life. Haru was already sitting in the backseat but Daisuke refuses to get in the car. I looked at him from the tinted window of his black cadillac and it was obvious how ticked off he was.

"Are you coming or what?" I asked as I rolled the window down.

Daisuke sighs in defeat and finally takes the shotgun seat.

A/N: I literally have no idea about where their workplace is located so I decided that their workplace is located in Osaka~
