An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1156
“You… you’re shameless!” Florence was so angry her face was flushed as she gritted her teeth. She
had meant to flaunt her riches. But the rascal embarrassed her in front of everyone! He was
despicable!
“I’ve stated my price. Now, you have two options. You either pay the sum I asked for or get lost!” Dustin
wasn’t in the mood to play nice.
“You’re too much! You’ve gone overboard!” Florence was livid. Ever since her sudden rise in status,
she had never experienced anything as embarrassing as this.
“What’s going on?” A tall, lanky man who was all suited up strode over with his head held high. All the
restaurant’s security made way for him as soon as he arrived.
The man was Lou Geek, the owner of A’roma. “Lou! You’re finally here!” Sue was elated when she saw
him. She quickly hurried over to his side. Lou was not only her boyfriend but also her powerful backer.
He had status, power, and connections.

nothing he couldn’t handle with the snap of his fingers.
“What happened to your face? Who did it?” Lou frowned when he saw Sue’s swollen face.
“Lou, I did what you asked me to. I prepared a private room for Ms. Nicholson, but these ruffians
insisted on having it.
“They even got aggressive when they didn’t have their way with things. See, they were the ones who
did this to me! My face is ruined!”
Sue sobbed as she told Lou what had happened. Lou’s face fell when he heard the whole story.
Nobody had dared to cause a scene at A’roma since the day it opened. Who was the one who had a
death wish? How dare he hit his woman?
“Ms. Nicholson, Mrs. Nicholson, are you both alright?” Lou did not act up right away. Instead, he walked
over to Dahlia and Florence to check on them.
“You’ve come at the right time, Mr. Geek. Someone here is trying to take our room, and he’s making
our time here really unpleasant. I’m incredibly frustrated with everything that’s going on.
“How do you propose we handle this?”
Florence demanded as she crossed her arms, giving off an authoritative air. “Mrs. Nicholson, all this
happened because of the lack of planning on our end. I’m deeply sorry that your mood has been
ruined.
“I’ll pay for all your expenses here at A’roma in the future.” Lou smiled apologetically. “Pay for all
expenses?” Many among the crowd were surprised to hear that.
Expenditure at A’roma was quite costly as all their ingredients were top-grade quality. To pay for all
their expenses for life was not something everyone could afford to do.
“That sounds more like it,” Florence huffed. She looked much more appeased after hearing that.
However, she continued, “I accept your apology, but I will not forget what happened today. You must
give me a satisfactory explanation!”
“Of course, that goes without saying. I promise you will leave this place satisfied.” Lou spoke
deferentially, appearing subservient.

But the moment he turned around, his expression immediately darkened. ” Who was the one who
wanted to take Mrs. Nicholson’s room? Stand up right this instant!”
“Correction, I wasn’t trying to take it from her. We booked the room first,” Dustin corrected Lou calmly.
“I don’t care who booked the room first. If Mrs. Nicholson wants the room, then it’s hers!” Lou said
domineeringly.
“Who are you?” Dustin asked.
“I’m the owner of A’roma. I call the shots here!” Lou declared frostily.
“So you’re the owner, are you? Have you got no rules here? Don’t you know what it means by ‘first
come, first served’? Don’t you know that you should treat your customers equally?” Dustin asked.
“Cut the nonsense! What I say goes!”
Lou started to look impatient. “I’m officially declaring that you bunch of ruffians are blacklisted and
banned from ever entering A’roma again!
“From this moment on, we will not accept you as customers. So don’t even dream of dining here
anymore! Now, get the hell out of A’roma! This is an order!”
