The Billionaire Boss Wants His Doting Sweetheart Back CH 0008
“You what?!” Amelia exclaimed incredulously after listening to what her friend just revealed, her eyes widening in stupefied shock. She couldn't believe her ears. She had just arrived a few hours ago from her last flight, and she had barely cooked herself a meal and taken a nap when Skylar walked into the house so late at night, looking heavily fatigued and disheveled. And in a few minutes after convincing her repeatedly to tell her what was wrong, Skylar had recounted everything that happened in her absence, to free herself from the suffocation that everything that had just happened in a few days was putting her through. “With Ivan Hamilton?! Are you kidding?!” Amelia, who still had not yet gotten over the revelation her friend had disclosed to her, clamped her hand over her mouth, her face contorted into a battle mix of disbelief and shock. “Do not stress yourself. It has happened and cannot be changed. That is even the least of what is bothering me now,” there was weariness

Ivan slumped back on the plush leather seat of his sleek black car, with his tie loosened off of his neck, and his normally composed demeanor was out of place. He ran a hand through his thick, dark hair as he continued to feel infuriated by nothing in particular, his anger simmering beneath the surface which he had been feeling all day.The day had been so tiresome and exhausting for him, filled with endless meetings and inspections, which was a feeling he hadn't had in a long time, even on days when he worked endlessly till midnight. He had gone to inspect his companies as usual without a heads-up, and little detail seemed to irritate him, from the poorly cleaned machine in an industry, to the unnecessary chatter of the worker in one office, to the overly enthusiastic greeting of an employee in another.He had also looked behind several times to call Skylar and ask what was next, only to realize that those who followed behind him were not her. They were not his intelligent, petite

“Hi, Mr Ivan,” Skylar's voice was a little hesitant as she spoke from the other side of the phone which had rung several times before she picked up before even hearing him speak. Her voice was calm and collected, which was a contrast to how Ivan was feeling at that moment. “Did you get my letter? I am sorry it was so sudden, and that I didn't get the chance to tell you about it or present it to you in person,” Skylar's voice was a little rushed as she spoke, and Ivan's heart was beginning to shred on the spot as soon as he heard what she first spoke about. “I could not help it because of what suddenly came up, and the fastest way to convey the information to you was to drop a letter, because I had called your phones, sent a text, and even emails, but you have not responded. Thank you for being considerate, Mr. Ivan,” Skylar continued with gratitude, her voice warm and appreciative. ‘She was going to such an extreme extent just to tell him that she was leaving?’ Ivan could not he

Skylar sat beside her mother's bed in the general ward she had been recuperating on as she gazed affectionately at her. Her eyes, which were red-rimmed as a result of her endless tears, shimmered with happiness. She was glad that, once again, her mother had fought for her life and won. It had been a crazy and unending journey for her to be in and out of the hospital.Her skin was so pale and there were so many tubes snarked around her body and connected to the beeping machine beside her, which displayed her vitals. However, she still had a smile on her face as she gazed at her daughter. “Mum,” Skylar called wearily, tears trickling down her eyes, “I am so glad you are awake,” she choked out, her voice thick with deep, vulnerable, emotions. Kate, with a weak but tender gaze, squeezed her daughter’s hand into hers, as she spoke even if it was still hard to, “I am sorry you had to go through this alone, Sky. I am so sorry I have been an inefficient mother and all I do is take money fr

Skylar made her way through the entrance of the five-star restaurant she was ushered into, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor as her heart pounded with anticipation and nervousness as she approached the table that had been reserved alongside the entire room. There was no more shock than when she received a call from Ivan that morning, and he asked her to meet him at a big, fine restaurant in twenty minutes. She barely managed to get up, run a warm bath, and dress up in whatever came to her mind before slipping into one of her heels and running out of the house to flag a cab that would take her to the place he asked to meet immediately. As she approached where he was sitting with his eyes fully focused on the tablet in his hands, Skylar could not help but wonder how this man had been created to look too good to be true. She could see it clearer than she had seen his beauty in the three years of working with him. He sat back on the comfortable plush chair at the

Skylar tried to eat a bit more, but each bite felt like an ordeal the more she tried to satiate her hunger. The food, though exquisite, seemed to lose its flavor under the weight of his scrutiny. And finally, at the moment she told him she was done, he rose with his left hand tucked in his pocket. He strutted past her without uttering a word, and Skylar got the message instantly, as she hurried to stand up too. She grabbed the briefcase that was on the chair beside the one he sat on, and scurried after him instantly, her mind still running through thoughts. ‘Just why was this man doing this to her?!’The drive to their destination seemed endless to Skylar, who was seated in the front seat beside the chauffeur, and the stifling atmosphere in the car was almost palpable as the chauffeur navigated through the bustling city streets to borders that led to towns. She sat rigidly in her seat, unable to breathe properly because of how uncomfortable she felt, as she clutched her stomach lig

Seeing that he caused her a scare by the way he suddenly snapped, Ivan cleared his throat and adjusted his tie which suddenly seemed to clamp around his neck, “What happened?” His voice was a little calmer this time. “I… I tripped,” she stuttered a bit, still awkward that she was the one reporting her pain to him when it should be a reverse case. “You are clearly in pain,” his face darkened, his eyes narrowing, “When did it happen?” “A few days ago,” she responded, a little unsure if he told him it was the morning of the day they went to the party that she had twisted her ankle. He might get even more enraged. “Why didn't you say something then?” his gaze lingered on her intently, each question he ditched requiring an immediate answer. “I bought some relief patches and used them already,” she spoke softly, trying to sound reassuring that she had taken care of it. “A relief pain patch?” Ivan repeated, his eyebrows furrowed incredulously, his voice tinged with disbelief and fr

Stacy didn't know how to feel at that moment as Ivan carried her, and she didn't know how to feel at that moment because it felt like too much pressure. He was her boss, after all, and she was just another worker to him. Yet, here he was, carrying her into the store as if it were the most natural thing in the world.‘Please he should stop killing her with tension and tell her why he was doing this to her!’ As Ivan strode into the nearest elevator and entered as the doors parted, Skylar hoped he would drop her then and give her a space to catch her breath even if he had carried her like he was carrying a bag of feathers in his arms. She counted in her heart for a few seconds, 1, 2, 3 as she waited for him to drop her as soon as the doors closed. However, he remained still on the spot with no intention of dropping her. That was when urgency struck Skylar's heart that he was planning to take her into the mall like that!Goodness! Allowing this man to carry her was the biggest mistake!

With a heavy heart, Skylar sat motionless in her chair all day, her gaze fixed on the same spreadsheet she had been pretending to work on for hours, with her mind far away from what was even going on around her. She had expected to see him a few hours later, after she thought that the storm concerning his mother proposing the most ridiculous idea must have passed, because the news that the votes turned against her quickly went like wildfire in the company. She anticipated that he would come back so that she would have the chance to explain herself, but it didn't seem like it at all. He didn't return till she clocked out late at night. The emptiness in her chest grew heavier and sadness seeped into her bones as she walked out of her office, her footsteps heavy on the quiet halls of the building, like her thoughts were drowning out of the world around her. As Skylar sauntered out of the main building, the cool night air kissed her puffy cheeks, but it did little to clear the haze c

Skylar was seated behind her work desk, motionless and absent-minded, as her fingers remained limp against the keyboard. In her heart was a heaviness that she couldn't even speak of, and it ached with the pain of confrontation that she had just endured. She couldn’t focus at all. The memory of Ivan's angry face that flashed at her the moment he entered the room refused to evade her, and his accusatory words that hinted at frustration and disappointment made her heartache. Nothing even hurt more than the fact that he didn't wait to hear her explain herself. He was just mad that she had met Grayson. “I can explain what happened,” she fought with her shaky voice as she tried to explain herself, but he had been too mad to even listen. “So you have been meeting him behind my back?! Since when?! And why?! Is that why you have been giving me an attitude for almost two days now?” He raged at her with words that slammed her heart against a wall with excruciating force, as her eyes watered

A man burst through the double doors of the executive hallway, his shoes thudding against the polished marble floor as he sprinted with a desperation that was fueled by panic, his hair disheveled and dampened with sweat. He barreled into the secretary’s office after an impatient knock, as he entered with the intention of informing Skylar of what was going on, only to come in direct contact with Ivan, who was also standing in the room. His steel-blue eyes flicked up in measured curiosity as the man skidded to a halt, narrowly avoiding slamming into a sleek leather armchair, almost melting as he tried to balance himself, barely catching his breath amid the suffocating tension that settled in the air. “Sir?” the man gasped, struggling to contain both his breath, almost stuttering, “Your…mother. No. I mean,” he shook his head in an attempt to correct himself, “Mrs. Hamilton is here.” Ivan, who still had flickers of rage scribbled over his face, arched a single eyebrow, with the fainte

The restaurant they were seated in crackled with tension as Amelia's sharp gaze locked onto Carlos's, her arms crossed, and her lips pursed in a fiery scowl, “You don’t even call me anymore,” she snapped, her voice slicing through the charged air like a whip. “Is that why you asked to meet me early this morning?” Carlos stared at her in disbelief, wondering if that was all she had to say when she called and asked to see him so urgently at the restaurant that was nearest to his house. “Is that what I am saying, Carlos?! I said that you don't even talk to me anymore! You would have called if I hadn't,” her face scrunched up into a frown, unable to stand the fact that he was disregarding her concern. Carlos met her glare, his jaw tightening in repressed anger, “You said that it was what you wanted,” he countered, his tone calm but strained, as if walking a tightrope over a chasm of resentment. He couldn't even believe she would be asking him that. “You would have called regardless,”

“Why?” Her eyebrows were raised in confusion, as she wondered why he was saying that. “The public announcement will be worth more,” he told her and skipped talking about it quickly, and she nodded slowly as if absorbing in bits what he meant. “Are you okay, though? You don't sound like yourself,” Carlos observed. Skylar pressed her lips together and shut her eyes for a moment, as she smiled again, “Yeah, I am fine,” she lied, “Just... tired. You know how it is.”“I get it,” Carlos sounded so concerned, “But if you need anything, you know I am here at your beck and call. And I mean anything,” he reminded her. Skylar felt a rush of gratitude in her heart because of his unmerited kindness towards her, and she couldn't help but be emotionally thankful at the moment, as she repeated, “Thank you, Carl. Thank you so much. You have been amazing, really. As soon as I am able to, I will take you out to eat. Anywhere you want. It is going to be my treat,” she promised. Carlos chuckled again

In the silent hospital room where nothing but the rhythmic beeping of the machines that monitored her mother’s vitals, Skylar sat again beside the bed, this time properly dressed in a pale-blue disposable safety suit, with her gloved hands gently wrapped around her mother’s frail right hand. She was unable to think properly after she returned from Ivan's house and knew she wouldn't even be able to perform well if she went home immediately. Instead, she returned to the hospital, asked to see her mother again, and was granted the grace to see her properly this time. However, her thoughts were far from at ease or where she was seated, as she stared blankly at her mother's bed, her mind spinning in a relentless tide of worry and self-doubt. Amid her fear for her mother and the fear for herself, her head was blowing up with pain, and her heart was racing with so much angst.She pressed her trembling lips together, struggling to contain the storm brewing inside her, as she tried not to l

“The surgery had just ended and was successful,” the surgeon, who had just come out of the theatre room still dressed in her blue scrub, and had a nose mask hanging below her chin, told Skylar with a reassuring smile that didn't brighten her face.Instantly, the world around her paused for a millisecond as the tension that had been hanging in her body crumbled instantly, and dissipated into the air. Her legs gave way below her body, and before she knew it, she had fallen on her knees, as she felt the hard, cold floor press against her palms that rested against the floor, the weight of the news sinking into her mind. Her right hand which was trembling covered her mouth, as a stifling gasp that felt like it had been locked in her chest for hours escaped her, alongside the tears that trickled down her cheeks. ‘She was alive. Her mother was alive,’ she heaved a sigh of relief, unable to handle the excitement. “Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much,” were the few words her voice could u

“I am sorry, we cannot be together,” those heavy words hung heavily between the two standing across from one another, and the receiver, Leo, blinked hard as he stared at Kali, who had broken the news to him.“What.. What is wrong, Kali?” His lips barely found the right words to utter because his brain was barely functioning coherently. That was the last news he expected her to bring to him, just when he was planning that they would go hiking together since she liked doing that. ‘Things had been going fine between them for the past few days. What went wrong?’ His eyes took a haunted look as if awaiting an explanation from her. “Nothing is,” she looked away from him while resting her back on the railings of the rooftop recreation spot they were standing, because she said she wanted to go there when he asked what she wanted to do. “Kali, meet my eyes,” Leo stared at her, his heart wanting to reach out to her in the most intentional way, as his right hand stretched and caught hers in

Skylar made her way into the five-star restaurant, her eyes glancing briefly through the few people that were seated in the room, until they landed on Grayson, who was seated by the window, his face brightening with a warm, sweet smile the moment he raised his head. She instantly flashed a warm smile at him from where she was standing, and he rose to his feet, as a gesture to welcome her which almost melted away her initial nervousness instantly. It made Skylar's eyes almost roll in shock because she never thought she could see him smile considering their first and second encounter. “Hi, Sky,” he greeted her with a sweet smile, and politely offered her a seat across from him, “You look absolutely gorgeous,” his eyes lingered as he took in her dress, and her smile.“Hi, Gray,” she responded with a nervous smile, “You don't look bad yourself,” she finally settled into her seat. “How have you been these days?” He initiated the conversation, his eyes peering at her. “Been great,” Skyl
