Surviving in Woman's world as a novel villain.

'Xiao bai I will be back in 20...30 minutes, Until then be a good girl and stay with Grace.'

Sandra had not come out of her shock yet and was still dragged away by Alex, So Alex had a chance to give Xiao Bai a heads up, He did not want to make her panic again.

'Huh...No, You need.'

Xiao Bai, hearing his words, quickly looked at Alex's position in fear but found out that he was not there.

She anxiously wanders her eyes all around and thankfully finds him walking towards the secluded storeroom.

She quickly said in her mind ready to walk towards him, For her being with him is the safest place.

Yeah, even though she holds a feared and respected S-Rank power, She is afraid of being alone, Which is an inherent thing of beasts after they imprint on someone, Plus the contract between them makes a special bond between them.

This can be seen from the fact that Her eyes now become misty. An S-Rank warrior is now on the verge of crying out because of fear of being away from him.

'No, Xiao stays with her, I will be back quickly I promise okay?'

Alex turned around hearing her words just to see what she was up to. He quickly commanded her to stop. He understood it would be hard for her to separate from him but he had to.

Sandra is too close to being fallen in his camp, Not only that she is also FL, Which is one more insurance against the protagonists, As you can't be too careful with beings like those.

If he conquered FL, Then there will be fewer variables and his previous plan will work smoothly. He really can't afford to fail now.

That's why he did not want her to be with him. Though there is nothing wrong with her bringing them with him as she is a mature woman, In other words, legal. So if he wants he can even add her in fun.

But he still decided not to, She was still not able to say words carefully yet, At least wait till she can speak properly before taking her V-card,...It did sound bad but it was not, She is legal, Just not learning how to speak properly yet.

'But- '

'I will give you a shiny neck bell for being a good girl, Also One extra treat today, Okay?'

Xiao Bai even after his command did not want to listen, It is really hard for her to be away from him, Specially since it is not long since she hatched, So this world is still unknown and fearful for her.

But Alex was relax because he knew there is Grace who will take care of her in his absence, So he bribed her as it is a universal card of convincing people.

'....Okay, But soon come.'

It worked. As part of the cat, She was too weak to shine and ring things, So the bell is her achilles heel, So she had to give in.

Seeing she now not moving or following him, Alex gave her a comforting smile before entering the store room.

Xiao Bai looked at Alex as he closed the storeroom door. A worry was too obvious in her eyes but she could also sense that Alex wanted to do something important that's why she did not do too much.

She looked at her side at Grace, Who did not mind the absence of Alex as thinking being a man, He should have gone wandering around in the store to look at things.

*Grab*

Xiao Bai did not mind, Just looked at the empty soft hand of Grace then reached out her small hand and grabbed Grace's hand tightly bearing herself to be away from Alex for 30 minutes.

"Huh!? Are you hungry Xiao Bai? Should we go and eat something?"

Grace was looking at a man who insulted Alex hate in her eyes, Though she did not show it but she is no less protective of him than other women around him, It's just she can tell he was up to shenanigans, So she kept shut.

But her mind does cooking plans to get revenge sooner or later, and she will not forget this insult of her man.

When she was in her thoughts, She felt something unusually warm and soft grabbing her hand. When she looked down in surprise she found out that Xiao Bai was holding her hand, While biting the thumb of the other hand.

Grace could not handle this overwhelming cuteness. She had the urge to lift her in her arms but stopped herself from doing so. She did not want to take the risk of making her angry.

So she asked her if she wanted to eat as it was past noon, Grace thought she should be hungry, Which is why she held her hand.

"She does not need to eat anything, She is self-sufficient."

Liza, who was also throwing daggers towards Dick turned around to say it to Grace.

As an S-Rank beast, That too was a legendary one, All needed energy got to her from being surrounded by the mana or spiritual power depending on their cultivation type of hers.

Normal food did not give any energy to them as it is filled with lots of impurities and such, So they abstain from eating anything else.

"Water meat."

As Liza's words fell, Xiao Bai answered Grace's question without even looking at Liza. In her eyes this woman is her competition for Alex's affection, Which means she is her enemy.

"Water meat? Do you mean fish? Do you want to eat fish?"

Grace too ignored Liza, making her feel embarrassed. She asked Xiao Bai if she meant fish by the water meat.

"Hum hum."

To which Xiao Bai nodded excitedly, Grace smiled knowing what she wanted and so the duo walked towards the exit of the store as a clerk named Sandra said to them that there is a cafe around the corner.

If there is a cafe then there will be a food court. Now they just have to find a place that sells fish in the mall, which is the hardest task.

"Hey wait for me!"

Liza looked at Dick contemplating about giving order to her hidden guards to teach him what happens when provoked by a warned person but decided not to as Alex warned her about it.

So she ran after the duo of Grace and Xiao Bai, As she too thought that Alex should have gone to look for things, Which will take a while.

...

"Finally those disgusting women are gone."

Dick sighed a relief when he saw the trio walk out of the store, He was very comfortable being gazed at by the two of them, especially the short one who was not looking away at all.

Just looking at him with her eyes filled with lust (Sorely mistaken), He did not get how a hooligan like her got here but then thinking she was with that gigolo, He understood, What did he expect from a woman like her?

It was not the first time women were crazy about me and tried to get his attention. Every day there were lots of women running behind him to get his attention, But they were all from high-class families.

Each one trained from childhood to act respectfully. That's why he did not feel much weird around those women but Liza at first glance looked like a malnourished low-class woman.

So she can be like this, there is no strangeness in it, But he still is not like it, in fact, he hated even being disgusted and stared at by another woman since he met that little white bunny.

First, he hated her to the core, In his eyes, she was or still is a woman who used him to help her family but now he did not know why he couldn't stay away from her.

Since she left the house, he did not feel like going back there anymore. He hated the fact that she was not there? She is his possession, He brought her in exchange for saving her family, How can she go away like this?

No, she can't run away from him. She has to be with him even after death she can't go away.

This is what he thinks now. This might be the reason why he wants her back. At least he thinks so, As he did pay in billions to save her family.

That's the strong feeling he did not know about which is obviously weird but still love is interpreted as the unwillingness of losing his money, Which is his signature plot of misunderstanding of a romance novel.

"How much time madam is going to take to come here? Wait? Where did that little bunny go?"

Dick shakes his head, throwing out those thoughts. He now wanted to focus on putting a leash on her neck, So he was annoyed that Madam was taking this much time.

He was looking around the store and found out that Sandra was missing, He did not even notice when she was gone.

He quickly looked around but still could not find her or that gigolo. He became anxious as he started running around to look for her.
