Chapter-83
Author's POV
Rose looked at the two tall women, as they assessed her from head to toe. Both of them had olive skin, one of them had grey eyes and the other one had brown eyes. Both were tall but the woman with brown eyes was taller than the grey-eyed one. She had silky black hairs reaching upto her waist and the brown-eyed woman had thick black hairs that reached upto her shoulders. Both of them looked like models.  
Rose didn't know who they were. They barged in while they were having lunch and Donovan seemed like he didn't mind it.
Rose ate in silence ignoring the stares from grey eyed one. Rose felt like she was trying to assess her looks. She felt uncomfortable under her judgemental gaze. 
Her eyes were still puffy because of last night's crying session. Suddenly, Rose became self-conscious. 
" Nova...who is she?" Rose looked at the tall woman as she spoke in her sultry voice. 
Nova....
The word Nova caught her attention. Rose thought the tall woman must be someone important or close to him. 
She is using nicknames and all...
And the fact that Donovan wasn't speaking anything was annoying the shit out of her.
She looked at Leon who was munching on the food just to avoid her questioning gaze. She sighed, placing the spoon. She was done eating. The moment she saw that tall woman walking in, sitting beside Donovan, her appetite disappeared somewhere. 
" How does it concern you Sofia?" Donovan asked, after a brief silence. 
Rose didn't like his indirect statement. 
Sofia shrugged her shoulders and rolled her grey eyes looking at Rose. 
" Nova...I came from Italy to see you and this is how you speak?" Sofia said, making a puppy face. 
Rose cringed internally. 
She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. For some reason, she found it annoying.
Her presence was annoying her. 
" Well I came to the airport to pick you up" Donovan said, wiping his lips using the napkin. 
And that news was enough to create chaos inside her mind. 
So this is the important work that didn't allow you to get back home all night????
" That's because of G...---"
" Giana bring her to the study.  we will talk about it in the study" Donovan interrupted, glaring at Sofia who shut her mouth immediately. 
Giana....
She understood that the woman with brown eyes was Giana. She looked more beautiful than Sofia and more sophisticated too. 
Rose couldn't help but think about the tattoo on his finger. 
The suspicion in her mind only strengthened. 
She looked at Donovan but he didn't spare her any glance. 
" Come to my study" He declared and dashed out of the dining hall. 
Tears gathered in her eyes. She didn't like anything that happened here. Leon gave her a look of concern. She didn't want pity. Sighing in annoyance, she rushed to her room.
