The Billionaire Boss Wants His Doting Sweetheart Back CH 0027
“You sound disappointed. Were you not expecting my call?” The voice from the other side of the phone insinuated, sounding amused that Ivan could be expectant of a call, a slight chuckle escaping his lips. “Not at all,” Ivan's voice sounded grumpy, as he tried to conceal his intense disappointment when he realized that it was not Skylar who had called him. “You do not look like you are in a good mood. What is wrong?” Leo inquired further, wondering why his friend, whose mood was not so hard to tell even from just his tone, seemed so pissed. “Nothing. How have you been?” Ivan tried to digress from the main subject of their conversation from Leo's point of emphasis, which concerned what he wasn't willing to talk about. But, Leo wouldn't let go of what he had bitten already. “Is it Skylar?” “No,” Ivan's response was curt, knowing that his only friend, Leo, might try to get him to talk about what was wrong with him. He was not willing to give him that leverage of trying to therapiz

“I am sorry, Sky. Your shoes went missing,” Amelia announced to Skylar as she sat on the edge of the bed in the room, fidgeting nervously with the hem of her dress, her pleading eyes searching Skylar's own. “What?” Skylar's voice failed her at that moment, as she tried to process what she had just heard her friend tell her. She was just coming to the grocery store after she visited her Mum at the hospital since she closed earlier at work, and surprisingly met Amelia at home, who had said she was not going to be home until the weekend.“I am truly sorry, Sky. I threw up at the party I went to, and I was laid to rest by some friends. When I woke up, it was gone. I think someone took them off my legs,” Amelia's eyes lingered with pity and sadness as she spoke softly, her sweaty fingers fiddling with one another. Dumbfounded, Skylar's mind raced, searching for the right words to say at that moment, as different kinds of emotions swirled within her - confusion, disappointment, and som

Standing under the cascading water of the shower, Skylar felt all the stress of the entire day wash away from her body, as the cold water washed through her hair and soaked it flat, as it trickled down her face and body. Just for a short moment, the water provided a sense of relief to her body, as if it was washing her pain away, but it wasn't long before a deep-seated sadness began to creep into her mind. Her heart began to ache for reasons she couldn't even pinpoint, and she suddenly felt so burdened, the urge to cry, knocking against the door of her eyelids. Silent tears mixed with the shower's flow down Skylar's body as she cried mutedly, her sobs muffled by the sound of the water hitting the cold floor of her bathroom, and her heart tangled in a mess of emotions that she couldn't quite grasp.It was as if the weight of everything - her worries, disappointments, fears, aching pain, regrets, shame, and every single emotion she had been swallowing for too long, found the right mo

“About your schedule, sir,” Skylar followed behind Ivan the next morning, reading his report to him as usual. She arrived as early as she could, but he was already there waiting for her, and didn't even complain about anything or talk about what ensued the day before. He just glossed over it when she apologized and nodded casually like it was a normal thing to happen. Skylar was unable to wrap her head around why, but she was glad things were back to normal. “About my schedule. Leave it as it is. I will be working less as the doctor had said,” he responded, just before she could tell him that she had adjusted, and her eyes widened in shock hearing what he told her. ‘What?! Leave it the way it was?! When she had adjusted it already?!’ Skylar wanted to scream so loudly at his face, as her words fought for silence within her brain and mind. ‘This condescending man! He was just after her peace!’ she almost sneered overtly, as she curbed the urge to grind her teeth together in anger.

Stunned, disoriented, and shocked out of her bones, Skylar looked up at the woman that stood before with a deadly glare, her eyes widening with confusion, “What... why?” she stammered breathlessly, her voice trembling uncontrollably. Adelaide studied her with a heated glare, the disgust in her gaze, palpable, “You skank!” she spat, her voice dripping with spite and venom, “You chose to ignore my message, have you not?!” She demanded imperiously. ‘She was the one who sent the message yesterday?’ Skylar gazed at the woman in further shock, wondering if someone like her was one of Ivan's numerous secret admirers also, and had the effrontery to come and challenge her physically. However, the gorgeous woman standing before her seemed to possess an intimidating outlook. It was almost as overbearing as Ivan's. “I do not know why you are doing this or why you suddenly sent a cryptic message, but can you please explain what is going on now?” Skylar found her voice even if it almost felt li

Skylar scurried into her office the next morning, her heart pounding in her chest as she dropped her bag on her desk, grabbed her work tablet instantly, and a folder containing the latest reports of the company. The morning rush from the car that dropped her in the front of the company had left her flustered and out of breath since she was late yet again, as she quickly smoothed down her dress, hair, and dabbed her face with a dry napkin to appear tidy. She took a deep breath, squared her shoulders firmly, and walked into his office after knocking. “Good morning, Mr. Hamilton,” she said, her voice slightly breathless as she stepped inside and strutted elegantly to where his table was, having prepared her mind for anything he would have to say to her for being extremely late this time. “Morning, Skylar,” Ivan's was smooth and eloquent, the way he called her name made it sound as if he had sung a musical note. She liked the sound of it. However, the urge to raise her eyes in shock o

Skylar flinched slightly under his intense scrutiny, feeling dwarfed by his towering stature, her heart racing uncontrollably as she struggled to maintain her composure, “It is nothing, sir,” she almost stuttered.Cowering with the fear he might see through her as his gorgeous eyes peered into hers, Skylar allowed her eyes to wander away from his eyes after she denied anything happening. There was no way she could tell him that his mother had hit her and said mean words to her. She didn't know much about Adelaide Hamilton, his mother, but judging from what she had sensed from working with Ivan for three years, she knew that the relationship between them was not smooth sailing at all. However, she had no idea what might ensue if she mentioned what her mother had done to her. ‘He might not even care,’ her mind quickly made her realize, ‘She was still his Mum.’Growing impatient with the vague answers that she was giving, Ivan's facial expression darkened even more, and he leaned for

“I cannot believe you are confronting me because of that secretary of yours!” Adelaide spat viciously, her voice rising with each word, “Is that it, Ivan?!” He had gone to meet her at her home yet the second time again, even if he detested it so much, and she was just right on time, ready to leave her house for a ball party that she had been invited to that evening. However, him asking her what she had gone to do in his office, and what right she had to treat his secretary so lowly, made her lose it immediately and started to speak angrily. He remained silent even with her explosive attitude, his stern gaze unwavering as he demanded answers, and knowing her, he knew that she would exude the exact behavior he had predicted - volatile and unremorseful. “That girl must have bewitched you! She has taken over your head and that is why you cannot even be in a normal relationship, even with your good looks!” Adelaide bemoaned bitterly as her eyes sharpened into a narrow critical gaze

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
