The Billionaire Boss Wants His Doting Sweetheart Back CH 0042
As the video call connected, the screen flickered to life, revealing the grinning face of Leo as his eyes twinkled with mischief, “You seem to be in a great mood,” he peered at Ivan, who seemed to be enthusiastic about what he was doing in his kitchen. “I am just as happy as every other day,” his lips stiffened even if he had the urge to smile, as he carefully cut the apple placed on a chopping board into sizes, “Now spill it. You called because you saw something,” he flashed a knowing look at Leo, who chuckled instantly. “For a moment my heart dropped when I saw the news,” he leaned back in his chair, the casual setting of his sleek, modern office, contrasting sharply with the deluxe kitchen visible in the background of his friend’s screen. “Why?” Ivan began to cut the kiwis he had before him too, his eyes unfocused on the huge MacBook he had placed on the countertop of the kitchen. “I thought you were dating that sexy chick for real. You two looked so into one another the way

The moment Ivan hung up the call, his heart began to race through thoughts of what to do, the more he thought of the agitation in her voice which struck him deeply, her voice echoing in his mind.He quickly made his way up to his room, grabbed his coat and keys, and made his way to his parking lot instantly. Within a few minutes, he was in his sleek, black car, speeding through the bustling city streets, his thoughts racing faster than the traffic around him.When he arrived at the hospital and made his way into the huge, gigantic building, he spotted her instantly at the reception desk, sitting down on one of the chairs there as she held a paper in her hands, with tears rolling down her cheeks. The sight of her like that caused a sharp pain to pierce through his chest, a pain he couldn’t fully understand but felt deeply nonetheless.He approached her quietly, his footsteps soft against the linoleum floor, but the whiff of his sweet scent, which could not be missed with any other per

“Skylar, what are my schedules for tomo….” Ivan paused on his words, his brain jolting him back to the realization again, for the nth time, that he had forgotten just within a few hours that she was not there with him. He had gone on his business trip alone. He sat in his plush leather seat in his private plane, his thoughts far from the upcoming business trip as his gaze constantly drifted to the empty seat opposite him where she usually sat, meticulously organizing his schedule and handling every detail before they even landed. He would usually be busy reviewing every document that needed to be acknowledged and corrected from spreadsheets, to presentations and emails as well before every meeting, on the next day. However, he decided to grant her wish not to accompany him on the trip, giving her the chance to be with her mother, and to pull her mind together from all of her pain. Still, he couldn't get used to her not being around. Upon landing at the bustling Chicago airport,

Ivan made his way towards the conference room the next morning, as he rubbed his right hand into his palm and adjusted his tie, which suddenly seemed as if it was starting to tighten around his neck. He didn't have a good night's sleep as usual, and spent the entire night working till dawn. The first meeting, which was a board meeting with the directors and executives of HAVAN construction, seemed to drag on as he began to get increasingly grouchy before the endless presentations ended, and he found himself fumbling with notes that Skylar would have seamlessly provided and marked out. The site visits he made around the city to HAVAN subsidiaries were extremely tiring, and he was so stressed out having to do every single thing himself. He struggled to find important statistical figures for each company because he had personally not done it in a long time, which Skylar would have effortlessly supplied as a report if she had been there, while informing him of the next thing to do. Fin

Early the next morning, Ivan sat behind his office desk, his eyes heavy, and his mood subduedly wistful, barely rested from his long trip after arriving hours ago. The meetings and negotiations he had gone for had all resulted in success, but he was left with piles of paperwork on his desk and emails which he had begun to check out and review endlessly since he arrived. Knowing Skylar would not have had the idea that he had arrived already because he arrived a day earlier than planned, he picked up the phone on his desk, and dialed the table phone of his substitute secretary, Taylor. ‘He had better start getting other people's help,’ he reminded himself.As soon as the call went through, he spoke authoritatively, “This is Mr. Hamilton. I need you to resume working for me immediately this morning,” Upon hearing what she had been told on the phone by Ivan, Taylor freaked out in shock, her jaws dropping in shock. As soon as she dropped the call, she stood on her feet instantly still

“The way you come here in the morning these days, makes me want to believe the rumours. Everything really okay with you and Ivan?” Kali's gaze weighed on Skylar's face, who stood in front of her to order a cup of orange drink and cakes. “Yeah,” a modest smile curved Skylar's lips, her eyes twitching with the apprehension that danced in them, “I guess things change after all,” there was a lack of enthusiasm in her voice. “You sure?” Kali’s questioning eyes finally darted away from hers as she began to prepare her order. “To be, Kal, I have no idea of what is going on with me now. I… I… just feel… numb,” Skylar confessed tiredly, almost slouching against the counter of the café. Ever since Ivan and Taylor had left, she had been so restless and uneasy about whatever could be going on in his mind. Not to talk of the strange message that she received the day before, which was devoid of the triflingness the message of a usual random unknown sender would send. ‘Someone knew what happe

‘I am setting you up on a blind date, Sky. Get ready,’ Amelia's words rang in Skylar's mind again as she casually made her way into the company, ready for the day's work even if she wasn't sure of her place in the company anymore. It had been three days since Ivan suddenly announced that Taylor would be working with him, and she couldn't even tell anymore if things were not working perfectly, as she thought it would be between the two, since Taylor had no experience, and Ivan liked things done perfectly. She had barely talked to him in those three days except for the usual pleasantries when he sauntered into the office to meet her sitting there already, and it felt like she had lost her significance at every indifference from him. It seared pain in her heart.It had also changed her thoughts and perspective that she could never be replaced, as she had heard other workers subconsciously program into her mind. She could definitely be. On a whim at that. Skylar didn't know she could

Skylar made her way into Ivan's office towards the afternoon during his few minutes' break after the first half of the day, when Taylor had also left the office to take a break, to be free from the suffocating walls of remaining in a secretary's office without having anyone to talk to. She missed sharing an office with others. But, as usual, Skylar could not leave her office to eat lunch because she was not used to having that kind of food routine, even if she barely ate breakfast. Most of the food she ate was either dinner or late lunches in the evening. “Mr. Hamilton,” she called as she approached his desk, her smooth loafers gliding over the polished floor of his office. “Yes, Ms. Bailey,” Ivan's voice came as a casual response without looking up, and Skylar almost froze on that spot, her breath eluding her when she heard what he had called her. ‘Ms. Bailey?! And not Skylar?!’ she wanted to scream. It took her so much willpower and strength not to break down at that m

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
