The Billionaire Boss Wants His Doting Sweetheart Back CH 0033
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

“Wait. Was she the one you were with at the launch party?!” Adelaide Hamilton rushed more words at Ivan the more those speculations continued to occur to her, who stood in shock to hear what his mother was saying, as his stomach clenched in deep fury. “You slept with a lowlife human like her?!” Adelaide wanted to believe that she had just thought of the most absurd thing ever. “Do not ever talk about Skylar like that anymore!” Ivan interjected as he moved closer to his mother like a phantom, “She does not deserve to be sullied with words from you! Don't!” his voice trembled with indignation and echoed sharply, his eyes blazing with threat. “See how you are talking to your mother because of a mere servant!” Adelaide's heart trembled in trepidation at the way his voice commanded threat, but she refused to show it. She knew she shouldn't mess with him. “A servant?!” Ivan muttered in disbelief, his heart writhing to see his mother use words so carelessly in the most demeaning way,

Skylar swallowed when Ivan's eyes stared at her with an oblivion of how he was making her feel, her lips slightly quivered as she tried to reply to him, “I am very fine, sir,” she managed to whisper, his voice smaller than it had ever been. Ivan continued to hold her gaze, his thumbs gently brushing her cheeks, “Why didn't you tell me?” his voice was laced with guilt. She could swear that the expression that she saw lingering at the corner of his eyes seemed almost sad when he asked her why she didn't tell him, which made her wonder what he was talking about, and what it was that she had not told him. However, that was not even the most important thing at the moment, because there was another concern talking over her head right on that spot. Her chest was stifled with an emotion she couldn't quite name, and the way he stared at her apologetically, with a gleaming effect that caused crawling effects on her skin, made her feel vulnerable in a way she hadn't expected, “Tell you what?

The drive to wherever they were going seemed so long, with Skylar almost suffocating as she sat beside him in his sleek, brand-new sports car that he never rode with anyone but himself. She felt so uncomfortable sitting by his side while he drove both of them through the bustling city, when she was supposed to be the one driving the car as his secretary. For all the right reasons, she didn't understand what was going on or where they were going, her heart waiting in anxiety about where it would be. Ivan pulled into the expansive parking lot of a big, illustrious building, his car gliding into a spot near the entrance as he unstrapped his seat belt and stepped out so elegantly. She did the same, her eyes looking around to see where they had come to, searching for clues as they both took the underground elevator. That was when she saw the embellished golden letters that were scribbled on the walls of the elevator; AVARSON World Of Spas‘Why did they come here?’ she wondered as the el

Skylar sat in front of the mirror in her room after she took her bath and dressed up that night, as she gazed at her reflection so conceitedly, still amazed by the touch they had given her face at the spa to make it glow so impressively. The spa treatments worked wonders, which made her skin smooth and radiant, and her hair was styled to perfection in a way she had never done her hair, which made her feel like a different person. As she ran her fingers through her hair and admired it once again, her thoughts drifted back to hours ago, when Ivan suddenly entered the office and cupped his hands around her face so tenderly asking her if she was fine. Thinking of that at the moment, Skylar didn't realize that her cheeks had begun to turn crimson, as the memory of his touch and the way he had gazed at her, sent a shiver down her spine immediately.She felt her heart and stomach fluttering the more she replayed the scenario in her head over and over again, as her lips stretched into an e

“Dear me, your nails are so peng, girl!’ Kali's eyes lighted up in admiration as soon as she caught the sight of the gleaming luxury before her the moment Skylar was about to pass her credit card. “Thanks, Kali. I feel so good hearing that from you,” Skylar took one more glance at her wonderful nails once more, her heart swelling in exhilaration. “And how did I not notice? You look fire!” She complimented even more as her eyes studied Skylar, her lips curving into a tender smile that seemed more charismatic now, seeing her look so different from her usual self, “Girl. What is your secret?” “Oh goodness! You got me blushing so hard already,” Skylar's lips stretched into a very broad grin as she buried her face in her palms to hide her flush. “I am serious. You are glowing!” Kali went ahead to make her coffee, while Skylar stood patiently before the counter to get it, “Are you seeing someone these days?” her lips twisted into a mischievous smirk. “What?” Skylar's cheeks burned

“Have you seen the news this morning?!” Amelia almost blew Skylar's ear off the phone the next morning, just after she saw numerous news feeds with headlines about Ivan's new girlfriend. “Yes, I did,” Skylar's voice was calm and composed, as she got ready to take her bath. Her heart had been aching since she saw the headlines, and the tabloids that had splashed his picture across the front pages, arm in arm with a glamorous model, claiming she was his new girlfriend. It felt like a punch to the gut. “He had a girlfriend all along?!” Amelia yelled again, that Skylar had to keep the phone away from her ear instantly so that she would not go deaf. She just placed her phone on her bed and activated it on the loudspeaker as she began to step out of her clothes. “I have no idea,” she tied her hair into a bun, and walked to where she kept the new body wash she had just purchased. “Why are you not doing anything? Why are you so fine with it?! He took advantage of you even if he had a

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
