The man watched her movements and asked, "Can you see now?"
"Just blurry shadows," she replied.
"The potion you've been soaking in has done wonders. You might recover within a week. The Holy Daughter must have trained you well, otherwise you wouldn't be responding so quickly."
Maja didn't respond to him, choosing instead to lie back. Every day after training, she felt exhausted.
"Rest up," he said. "If you need anything, just ask Agent 002."
"Who's 002?"
"Agents 002 to 005 were the top picks for leadership—assuming I hadn't found you. Now that you're back, they're your right-hand men."
With a pat on her shoulder, K left the room. As soon as he was gone, Maja heard 002 speak up.
"The leader of the BK won't be a blind woman. That's what we all believe. Mr. K's decision is too hasty, or maybe you've bewitched him somehow."
Maja knew K's standing within the BK was high; anyone who wanted to lead had to have his blessing.
It was clear 002 didn't just want to lead; she also harbored a deep admiration for K, which fueled her animosity toward Maja.
Maja was still in pain and couldn't sleep, so she decided to confront the issue. "Yesterday, K told me I'm the acting leader. He doesn't have to listen to me, but everyone else does, right?"
002's face twisted with resentment as she glared at the woman before her. Besides being attractive, she saw Maja as utterly useless. How could they, who had been trained from childhood, accept this?
Maja winced in pain but simply raised an eyebrow. "002, you wouldn't dare kill me."
As soon as the words left her mouth, 002 pulled a small box from her bag. Inside were tiny needles, which she promptly jabbed into Maja's fingertip. The sharp pain nearly made her pass out.
002 smiled briefly before inserting another needle into one of Maja's pressure points. "This will temporarily stop your voice. You shouldn't have messed with me. Even though you made it here, you're still worthless. I heard you were mute before. Now, I'm just returning you to that state."
Mute, Maja couldn't call for help.
002 pulled the needle out of Maja's finger, smirking at her near-fainting state. "Forgot to mention, my training includes medicine, especially acupuncture, the mysterious oriental medical skill. It can make a person wish for death. Enjoy, future 'leader.'"
002 stood up, her face cold but smiling with triumph.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
