He’s My Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 56

Robert's POV

Whenever everything is perfect, there is always someone or something that ruins it. I can't afford to ruin this new happiness- this new feeling.

It has been a long time since Nicholson made any moves. I don't wanna think about anything, I want to keep an open mind. I hope he is not planning something big.

If he thinks that by this, I'll believe that he is out of the country, he is damn wrong. I will never assume anything- at least that is a lesson I have learned in my life. Anyway, I went to MO for some of my work. Max was already there.

"Robert" he followed me inside the building. "We don't think Nicholson is in the country anymore. He has never been so quiet for this long up till now. Maybe, he is out somewhere, enjoying his life with his girlfriend, Summer"Some sentences are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Ebookex.com.

"Well, apparently, Ervin Hunter wants to visit you for your project. So, we want to add security"

"He is no risk," I turned towards Max. "No security"

"But boss" he insisted. "We don't know him. He could even be a part of Nicholson's team"

"Whatever. But don't make it too obvious"

He nodded and I left the place and went to my home. Hailey was making breakfast, she said she'd like to do some work as she will not go to the office for some days. Because it is going to be a mess if anyone sees her wounds. I sat down at the dining table.

"You hungry?" I heard a voice and I turned around.

"Yeah"

"Good. I just made breakfast!" She kept the plates on the table and sat down beside me. "Need me to feed you?" she questioned.

"No" I smiled. "Should I?"

She looked shocked by my question but quickly recovered. "Will you?"

"Hmmh"

I smiled and bit by bit, I fed her the entire meal. She was smiling and she looked really cute.

"I am leaving for the office" I stood up. "Bye"

"Bye. Come soon"

Hailey's POV

After he fed me breakfast and by that, I mean, really fed me, I was beyond happy to go and spend my day talking to Alex, or making food, or doing any stuff. I video-called him.

"Hey," I said, smiling as he picked up the call.

"Hey- wait. What happened to your lips?" he asked with concern.

"Uh... n-nothing!He kissed me, so-"

"Kissed you or assaulted your lips? Oh gosh, did he hurt you?"

"What? No!" I laughed it off. "You are crazy"

"You are crazy, laughing over such a fatal matter" he rolled his eyes and I sighed.

"It is nothing and you are overreacting"

He nodded and after talking for a while, he got busy. He also told me that he is still searching for mom- with nothing in hand right now.

I was at home the whole day, and it was kind of boring. I wanted to get out and go to some good place.

I called Robert to ask for his 'permission'. He picked it up at the first ring.

"Hey," I asked while making my way downstairs.

"Everything okay?" he questioned.

"Yeah, of course!" I replied and stood across the couch of the living room. "Um... I wanted to ask something" "Go on"

"I want to go out... I mean, shopping or something?"

"Okay, sure" he replied and a smile played on my lips.

"Thank you!"

"Hm. Just take care and call me if you need me"

"Sure!"

"Bye!"

"Bye" I cut the call and, taking my stuff, that is my phone and my wallet, I went to the nearest shopping mall.

I am at the shopping mall, and damn, it is a big one. I walked across the first 10 shops, just because they were overcrowded. People waste their money, don't they? "Hey"

I looked up and I saw the one who I wasn't expecting, and wasn't wanting to come across here.

"Hello... Ervin"

"Why are you so sad seeing me?" he faked hurt by keeping a hand on his heart. "That hurts"

I laughed. "You may be a good businessman but you are a terrible actor!"

He smiled at me and looked around. "Robert?"

"Um... no. I am alone" I said and he nodded.

"Mind roaming around a bit?"

"Uh... Y-Yes, actually. I was just going home..." I reasoned.

"Oh, that is too bad. Hope you get time next time!" he extended his hand to meet mine. "Friends?" Friends?

Robert told me to stay away from you, dude.

"Ah... Yes!" I answered and his face lit up with the brightest smile.

"That's great. Um... can I have your number?"

Gosh, really?

Why are you putting me in this situation?

I can't just go around and deny him. That'd be too rude.

But if I do, then Robert can be mad.

"Ah... sorry, didn't mean to make you uncomfortable-" he started saying, but damn my good-brain cells.

"Wha- no! It is completely fine! Here is my number"

And with that, I gave him my number. He happily took it and gave me a missed call so that I can also call him whenever I want. Like I would.

"Bye!" he said while going.

"Bye"

He left for some shop but what now?

What if Robert comes to know that I met him?

Shit, I also made him my friend, let alone meet him.

Anyway, I went home straight and sat down. I switched on the television and passed my time.

It was night time and finally, Robert came home. I gave him water and he smiled.

"Thanks" he drank it and gave me the glass. "But. What did you and Ervin talk about?"

Going shopping was the worst idea.
