Hate War

Chapter 94

***Follow me guys if you enjoyed the book until now***

"I hope I'm not disturbing you ladies" 

He flashed us his pearly white teeth smile and from the corner of my eyes, I looked at Ava who seemed pissed looking at his smiling face. 

"Long time no see Mrs. Miller," he said while looking at me. 

"I was wondering how you are doing. You look very much pregnant and beautiful as always," he said in his heavy voice which had an accent mixed in his English making me wonder where exactly he was from. I blushed a little at his compliment. He always says all those cheesy words to me, making me think if he likes to flirt with everyone. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Ava sighing in frustration. It was visible on her face that she was not happy to see him here. 

"Mr. Robert, didn't I tell you to call me Nina?" I said while smiling back at him. 

"Didn't I tell you to call me Michael?" he asked in his heavy accent, making me blush again. He knew how to talk with women. 

"What are you doing here," I asked him in my curious voice. Well, it was odd to see him in the garden at this time unless he is here with someone. 

"I had a business nearby and I saw both of you here," he said while looking from me to Ava who was ignoring him and busy looking at kids. 

"So I decided to say hello before I leave," he said while looking from ava to me. 

"How are you doing Ava," he asked in his heavy accent voice with a smirk on his lips. He asked her like he was mocking her; something was hidden in his words and I knew it by the way she curled her fingers in a fist. 

"Now you are done saying your hello you should head back. I'm sure you have more important things to do than wasting a few minutes from your busy schedule to only say hello" Ava shorted back at him in her annoyed voice instead of telling him how she was doing. I could see she was trying to control her anger.  

"Don't worry I'm doing my important thing now. Taking a few moments from my busy schedule to say hello won't affect my billion-dollar empire" he said with a cocky smirk on his face making Ava more annoyed than she already was. Something was going on between them and my curiosity to know it was killing me. 

"So Nina, will you be joining the success party of Milliers and Rogers joint venture this week?" He asked in his curious voice. The project which was started with the union of two companies with our marriage was successfully done and now because we had lots of profit in two days there was going to be a success party for it to celebrate. Ava was in charge of it. 

"Yes, I will be," I said with a smile on my face keeping my conversation short. I didn't want to make Ava stress because of his presence. Even if my curiosity was killing me I had to make him go away for her. 

"Then see you there," he said as he understood what I was thinking. Ava was looking at him like throwing daggers at him with her eyes. 

"See you there Ava, just a friendly reminder you are running out of time," he said while looking into her eyes. These times there was no flirtiness in his eyes but a warning tone regarding sometimes. His words had a certain determination to them and it made me shiver. I don't know what was going on but it seemed like it was a big bright sign of danger. Tension in the air was thick. I forced a smile at him as he nodded and turned to leave. Ava kept throwing daggers at his retiring back. If looks could kill he would have turned into ash till now. 

"What was that," I asked breathing in relief as soon as he was out of our sight. "Nothing," she said in her annoyed voice but she took a deep breath to calm herself and then looked at me.
