Surviving in Woman's world as a novel villain.

Two voices were heard in the pretty much empty gane shop, Dick strummed towards the fat manager that delivered the news in anger, While Mona the supervisor of Sandra could not believe what she was hearing.

"Why!!? What did I do?"

She asks in disbelief refusing to believe she was being fired, She through blood and sweat crawled her way through to her current position, It can't be just taken away just like that.

She can't lose her job now. If she did she would pretty much die hungry and homeless as there is no way she would be able to pay for food, instalment of her house and debt with her current savings.

So she was now desperate to keep this job, There is hardly such a job with this higher pay and benefits in this city, The rest is all occupied.

"Good, I will pack my stuff right now."

Sandra here on the other hand was glad she was being fired, She knew that Dick brought this mall. Since then she was thinking of ways to leave this job as she can guess what intentions Dick has behind his actions.

But she could not find any way. She could leave but she had to pay the fine for it. The only other way to leave is to get offered another better job offer but with Dick's power in this city that too is impossible.

So she was hoping to piss off management so much that they will fire her but to her surprise before she could that they themselves fired her.

Sandra could not contain her happiness, She quickly agreed to it and was ready to turn around to leave this place as soon as possible but a sharp voice stopped her in tracks for a second before she resumed her walk.

"Wait!! Who asked you to leave, I am the owner of this place, How can you make decisions without my permission?"

It was Dick who yelled out of anger and frustration. He looked at the fat man who might be the manager of this store and asked in a stern voice.

He saw that Sandra ignored his command but he knew she was not important here. If he cancelled the termination order, Everything would be fine.

He spends too much money on this useless place just to get her and now that he has this place, He finds out that the reason to buy this place will not be there anymore. Anyone will be mad.

"Who are you, sir? I am pretty sure Mr. Robin is the owner of this place."

The fat manager just looked at Dick in confusion, not understanding what Dick was talking about.

He as the low-level employee did not know that Isabella is the actual owner of the mall, While Robin is just a manager, So he thinks that Dick was just messing around but seeing the clothes on him he did not dare to be disrespectful towards him.

'Interesting, ML gets different treatment than protagonists.'

Alex, who was enjoying the show on the sideline, was surprised that this fat man was able to see through that Dick is not the person he can provoke, Which is not the story that normally goes with the Protagonists.

If they do not ridicule at least a few times in a day, Their diet will mess up giving them stomach aches.

So it surprises Alex, Who was ready to see a face slap scene right now but then thinking that it was FL who is actually a protagonist in a romance novel, While ML is just supported it's logical to see this event.

"I just bought this mall, So as the owner of this place I revoke this termination order."

Dick domineeringly said these words with the usual ML's cold aura, As his words fell everyone felt the temperature had dropped by a few points.

The fat manager was also shaking in fear, The raw aura of the domineering president trope can't be handled by any normal person, Manager was just a second away from pissing in his pants.

"So-*Ahem* Sorry sir but the orders are already finalised by the headquarters, Mall has no authority over the in-house decision-making of business owners' and their employees."

But this guy also has guts. He though wary of Dick but he still did not buy that this man brought this mall, Something that big thing should take time and be well known in the group.

He just today saw Robin coming to work, So he does not take Dick seriously but he did not want any trouble with Dick.

So he pointed out the official contract details. After all, even if Dick bought the mall, He was just the landlord of businesses in it, He could not interfere in their internal affairs, This way Dick could not pick fault with him, He is nothing but just a messenger.

"Fuck your rules, If I said I revoke those orders then that's final, If not you better leave this place at the end of this day."

Unfortunately for the manager, he was dealing with an ML, The one who can bend, twist or outright break rules as he pleases thanks to his inherent family power.

So Dick reacted as he always does but this time it was even more extreme as he lost too much for this, He will not let anything go wrong.

"Well...Well if that's what you want then, please let me talk to my superiors before making any decisions."

The manager was sweating buckets, He work too much by the book kinda guy so even in this scenario he wanted to consult his superiors, Which on paper sounded good but was the worst thing to do in real life.

"FUCK!!! Give me a number of your superiors."

His words just pissed Dick off even more, He could not hold his arrogant aura anymore, He burst out with all his anger he was holding back on the manager.

The manager was too scared to even speak, He just quickly handed over the contact details of his superiors, As Dick snatched it from his hands and dialled in his phone.

"Give me my termination letter."

Sandra comes back with her stuff packed in the cardboard box. He ignored everyone and stood in front of the fat manager who was trembling with fear, He did not know what was happening.

Even if this man brought the mall, Why he was so bothered by the fact they fired their two employees, It's not a big deal, All he can think of the reason was that this man should be a control freak.

So he did not like them making these small changes, Which sounded too petty and childish in his eyes.

"Huh!? Oh here, Sorry for this had to end this soon, You will be compensated for this and-"

"What are you doing??! You, dumb man, Did not understand what this was all about at all??!"

Manager seeing Sandra asking for termination later in his hands, Which he just handed over out of instinct and gave the speech which now is a muscle memory for him completely forgetting what was going on.

When he handed over the letter and was in the middle of his speech, The rude man Dick yelled at him as saw what he did.

There was no limit to his anger, He really wanted to kill people right now as anger took over his thinking abilities.

"Give it back, I spoke with his superiors, They decided to take that order back."

Dick decided not to talk with the dumb manager, He just turned around and stretched his hands towards Sandra asking back the letter of termination she was holding in her hands.

He was indeed able to convince the superiors of this shop to take those orders back by lowering the rent of this place but for that to work he needs the letter in Sandra's hand.

That is because the letter is a thing that can free Sandra from any legal bounds she has towards this shop, As they themselves freed them for her.

Mona, who was ignored by everyone, heaved sighs of relief when she heard that she was not being fired.

"Sorry, Mr. Dick, I am no longer under the management of this shop. If you have any query or need please ask any other employee, They will be happy to help."

Sandra on the other hand being angry was calm, Too calm. She gave Dick a big wide smile, Which was as beautiful as the full moon coming out from behind the clouds and spoke to him politely without any resentment or any other emotions.

Dick was stunned seeing that smile. For a moment he had forgotten everything around him and he hyper-focused on that smile and those polite words of hers.

Sandra taking this as a cue, She quickly moved away from him towards Alex's direction but she made sure to keep her distance from him for his safety, As Dick might target him.

She wanted to leave the shop but stopped at once when Alex motioned her to stay.

'My time to shine now.

Seeing that now time is right, Alex decided to strike now to land a critical hit.

"Miss Sandra here, We still have to take you on a date."

So he dropped the bomb, Then prepared himself for the shockwaves of it.
