An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Lou’s words were rude and harsh, and he showed no courtesy to Dustin. Dustin had intended to be reasonable and talk things out. But upon hearing that, his expression darkened.

No wonder all the staff at A’roma were so arrogant. It was because they had such an arrogant boss!

“Hey! Didn’t you hear what he said? Get lost!” Sue barked. “So this is how you run the place, by throwing customers out. Seems to me like you’re not interested in business,” Dustin said icily.

“It’s not that we’re not interested in business. We’re just not interested in business from you!”

Lou continued boldly, “I run the place, so what I say goes. I don’t like the looks of you, so all of you better get the hell out of here within one minute, or I’ll get things done my way.”

The crowd immediately made a big commotion when they heard that, urging Dustin to leave.
