Surviving in Woman's world as a novel villain.
Chapter 178 177. Jake Is My Boss
Alex, in the stunned eyes of Dick, goes to Sandra, Then he, without taking Dick into consideration, holds her white wrist as he pulls her towards his group.
"Come on Miss Sandra, Lord Jake should be waiting for us, He specially asked me to take care of you."
Then after making sure Dick was in earshot, He said in a voice that he could clearly hear what he was talking about.
"Pssst~ Who is Jake?"
Sandra was taken aback by his words but seeing that he did not want to tell about it, She did not ask and just followed his lead. It was Liza who could not control her curiosity and asked him out in a low voice.
"Who is Jake? He is more than a boss, He is like family to me, He is a charmer of ladies, So much so that he prefers to stay with men, He is Lord of Dragon gate, A super big organisation that we little people like him could not understand powers of, This white face here is no match for him.
So Miss Sandra if you have any problem, Please say that to me, I will convey that message to the boss then he will take care of this annoying fly."
Alex straightens up his chest as he with a proud voice as he really admires Jake very much. Well, he kinda does, Just like Nathan he too sends many good things to him, Only a big heart person like the protagonist can do that kinda thing.
"?????????"
There were lots of question marks hovering in not only Liza's mind but also Sandra's and Grace was also confused about this thing.
Grace knew how prideful Alex is, He will never all follow someone and call them boss, He rather die than to do that kinda lowkey thing, That's why she knows Alex is once again upto no good at all.
Sandra on the other hand could not understand who Jake was and why he would ask Alex to take care of her but she was FL and quickly smelled the conspiracy in it, So he kept her mouth shut and let Alex do his thing.
Liza had to ask most questions in her mind, Alex is the heir of the Winchester family, if someone like him is calling someone boss is impossible in her eyes but she too did not ask him now as she did get a hint that Alex is planning something.
As for Xiao Bai? She is like always sticking close to Alex enjoying the warmth his body was radiating. Her life is very simple, Which narrows down to the thing if she likes that thing or not, All other things are not in her consideration.
"Who are you calling White face? You are the White face, your whole family is White face."
Dick roared at Alex as he heard his words, He was fuming with anger as Alex not only touched his forbidden but also called him banes in front of her.
He did not know who this Jake guy is but if he is the boss of Alex then this guy also has to pay for the crime of his dog. He should have taught his dog how to behave in society.
He right now added one more name to his list. He will make them pay, Make all of them pay for sins very soon, He will not rest till he fulfils his promise.
"Thank you for your compliment kind sir."
Alex, other than getting angry at Dick thanked him. Anyway it did not matter what Dick says as long as he is banging his wife, He is the winner here, So he let it be.
The more angry Dick will be, The more it will be easy for Alex to manipulate him. It's a basic principle of mind changing, It's just Dick is too invested in Sandra that he was not able to see the web that was surrounding him.
"You!! *Deep Breath* *Exhale* Answer me this, Why did your BOSS ask you to take care of my wife? What does he have to do with her?"
Dick was barely able to hold himself back as he after taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down asked Alex the key question that he had just now pointed out.
What did Alex's boss have anything to do with Sandra? He had a guess. He really had a guess that he thinks 99 percent is right but he did not want to believe it at all, He refused to believe it.
So he needs confirmation from Alex, So he can know that he was just thinking too much and there is nothing to worry about. Even now he thinks all he heard outside of the storeroom is a misunderstanding.
Yes, even though he had all the proof he needed other than visual confirmation, He still thinks that he is wronging Sandra, A large part of his heart believes that all she was doing to anger him was to leave her alone, All that voice was just an act.
That's why he though he had a pretty good idea why Alex's "boss" Jake asked him to take care of Sandra, He did not want to accept that at all.
All the mental struggle he went through before and such had been thrown out of the window the moment he once again laid his eyes on Sandra, This is the true nature of ML.
"I don't know the reason, He came here around an hour before then left 20 or minutes ago. That time he told me to take care of her, He asked me to come to that storeroom area for a talk, After that, he went away as he is a very busy man."
Alex replied to Dick without any delay. He was waiting to be asked this question all this time. He used the words that way he did not outright say things but just implied them, Which made the other party think and come to a conclusion.
The conclusion they think will be true because they think they themselves come up with it, Making it a perfect lie.
This is very necessary for Alex. Right now two protagonists are walking rampant in this city, One being Nathan while the other is Jake.
He decided to deal with Jake first and it turns out that even though he has more luck than Nathan, He is still a low-level protagonist, Which makes it very easy to take away his unlike Nathan, A prime protagonist of this world.
Even though Nathan has low luck but his luck is very easy to come back as he has been seen in the hospital, That's why he decided to target Jake but to do that he still needs time as he can't take Jake lightly.
So in the meantime, he had to give his utmost attention to Nathan as he is the prime protagonist. There is no way he could loosen the leash on him yet, So need someone to put pressure on Jake.
No matter whether Jake is low-level or not he is still a protagonist famous for becoming unfathomable power if not kept in check.
And who could be the best candidate for it than Dick, Who has his own ML halo resists most of the backlash from the protagonist halo of Jake, This way they both will keep themselves busy while Alex here gets little free time for himself.
"His name is Jake, right? A lord of Dragon Gate?"
Dick clenched his fits and asked Alex through his teeth, He was furious. Though Alex did not say what Jake's relationship is with Sandra he can make that much, He is not stupid.
The fact that Jake asked Alex to meet him near the storeroom solidifies that fact. He also saw Dick on his way back before, So he could also not doubt the words of Alex. That's why no he was sure Jack was the man who was in that storeroom with Sandra, His wife.
The man he swore to find out and make him pay for daring to touch his forbidden, He was ready to do anything to find that man and yet now because of this stupid man he found it easily.
He has a name and the job of that person, It is enough to make Jake's life a living hell.
"Let's go, By the way, Mona, How long will it take to deliver my stuff?"
After Alex achieved what he wanted, He ignored angry Dick and asked Mona who was happy that her termination order was cancelled. She was grateful for Dick now as he pretty much saved her life.
When she was busy admiring her hero She heard Alex's voice, She looked at him then remembered what he was talking about and quickly checked in her office device.
"It is expected to deliver today by 9 pm if not early in the morning tomorrow."
After she checked she quickly answered him, As she also thinks Alex is a big shot, Though he might be using women to get that power but he is still powerful, That fact did not change.
So she is quite polite to him for fearing angering him and losing the job she by lick got back.
"Ohh, Thank you, Just make sure not to deliver too early."
Alex politely thanked her, She too is one important puzzle piece in his game, The one he is going to need later, So he had to take care of her a little.
"Let's go gals."
After that Alex turned around with his group of girls and exited the shop, Dick was being desperate but could not do a thing, He has no authority over Sandra right now.
So all he could do was to watch as his wife was carried away with another man, While he could do nothing to stop them.
[Ding!...]
As Alex existed in the shop, The system notification voice rang in his mind.
