The Billionaire Boss Wants His Doting Sweetheart Back CH 0055
Skylar stood in front of the office of the doctor who was in charge of her mother, as she drew in a short breath, her heart pounding with worry and exhaustion. She hesitated briefly before knocking on the door, trying to steady her racing thoughts which speculated she would hear another disappointing news yet again. “Come in, please,” the doctor’s voice called out from behind the door, and she pushed it open to find Dr. Derin, whose demeanor seemed calm while awaiting her.“Hi, doctor,” Skylar tried to improve her mood, as she moved closer to the doctor's table. “Ms. Bailey,” Dr. Derin acknowledged her presence, “You may take your seat,” she gestured for her to sit down as she instantly brought out the medical charts of her mother to inform her of the progress regarding her health. “How is she, Doctor?” Skylar asked, her voice barely above a whisper.An insignificant sigh escaped the doctor as she leaned forward and adjusted her glasses, “Your mother is stable for now, Ms. Bailey,

Ivan sat at his study desk in his expansive, opulent room, being busy with some company work since it was the weekend. The room was so silent that one could hear a pin drop, the only subdued noise in the background was the sound of the ruffling file papers he reviewed through. All day, since he woke up and had berry and ricotta pancakes for breakfast, he had been working instead of his initial plan to go and see the ongoing volleyball tournament that was going on in HAVAN sports center. He just felt languid towards everything. Though he had been trying to keep up with working into the late hours of the night as planned, he couldn't continue anymore when he had been too weighed down by the weariness in his heart and just went to bed early. However, he was unable to sleep. He tossed endlessly with sleep, offering him no respite, as his thoughts meandered endlessly, unable to find a clear path amidst the mental fatigue that had gripped him. Arising from his bed with a hollowness

The vibrancy and vitality at the bar where Skylar sat was evident, with the club pulsing with the bass of the music which seemed to resonate in her ears, making her quite awkward in a place like that. It had been ages since she last set foot in a place like this, and the only thing she could do was allow her eyes to meander around, and observe everything that seemed to be going on around her. She had forgotten what it felt like to be surrounded by so many people, with each one lost in their world of fun and excitement.She was wearing a backless loop dress which was snatched by the waist by more straps, and a matching heel Amelia made her buy months ago, even if she ended up ditching the event that were both supposed to wear it to. It was the only dress she had that was eligible for that kind of setting, and Kali had complimented that it was fire. However, she was more interested in watching Kali, who moved effortlessly behind the counter, pouring drinks with practiced ease and exch

Amelia was fuming so much as she pushed through the door of the bathroom in the restaurant she was in, her heels clacked sharply against the polished floor as she stormed her way back to the table where Carlos was waiting, while sipping his drink with a relaxed demeanor. As she reached the table, she pulled out her chair with a sharp tug and sank on the chair so heavily, her breath coming in short, furious bursts which made him look up, surprised by her quick return, and the obvious rage scribbled on her face. “What is wrong?” his questioning eyes searched hers, “Were you not talking with Skylar a minute ago?” “You won't believe this! She is out at a club right now with a new friend she just met. I cannot believe her!” Amelia was so pissed as she struggled to contain her anger by chugging down the contents of her cocktail glass. Carlos raised an eyebrow, trying to process the reason for the sudden outburst with what she had said, and was still unable to comprehend, “Is that a pro

Skylar didn't even need to think twice as she returned to the club and whispered into Kali’s ears that she had to leave urgently. She barely had enough time to call a cab and just flagged another she saw, and told the person to go straight to the address in his neighborhood. After she confirmed her identity at the security post of the place, she dropped off in front of his house, and was allowed into his house without any hesitation the moment her biometrics was scanned.Her heels echoed through the empty corridors of his mansion, her pulse racing as she made her way to his room all while racing to the top. She had barely had time to change after her night out, still dressed in a sleek, club dress that clung to her curves. Her hair, which was still styled in loose waves, framed her face, and the makeup Kali applied for her, even if she didn't wear makeup, was impeccable, with smoky eyes and a bold red lip that completed her look.As she reached his door, she took a deep breath, and

Skylar sat at the edge of her bed, her hands clutched to the hem of the satin gown she was wearing, her heart, sick with anxiety and worry about what had happened in Ivan's house hours ago. The way he had grabbed her and kissed her was unexpected, and she got lost in it, forgetting that it was a line they were never meant to cross. Mortification overwhelmed Skylar the more she remembered how she moaned the moment their hot tongues entangled, and when he bit her lips, teasingly and tauntingly. It was so addictive that she didn't realize that she was far lost in what she was doing, until Ivan slowly broke from it, her lips carefully letting go of his lower lips that she had grasped between hers. She was thoroughly mortified. It was at that moment that it felt like the high ceiling would fall upon them because of the pressure that had settled in, that she stood up from his lap instantly without taking a further glance at his face. “Mr. Hamilton. It is late, and I must get going now

Upon hearing what Ivan had just said, Skylar was unable to understand what was going on as she stared at him in shock, even if he was not looking at her. She had entered his office that morning with trepidation swimming in her heart, already expecting to chastise her thoroughly or, worse, dismiss her entirely for crossing the line. Though she had great hope that he wouldn't. Instead, he glanced up at her with an unreadable expression etched on his face, “Skylar. You are taking over your job fully from today,” he said simply, his tone businesslike, as if the past few days had never happened.She blinked in shock, her mind struggling to process his words, “What?” The word slipped out before she could stop it, unable to hide how surprised she was by his sudden pronouncement. “I want you to start working fully again,” he repeated, his eyes back on the document he was reviewing. Skylar's heart pounded in her chest as she stared at him, disbelief etched across her face. ‘Why? So sudden
The Billionaire Boss Wants His Doting Sweetheart Back CH 0062
Skylar was very sure that Ivan had seen the sticky drool from her on his shoulder, and knew what it was, before he stood up and said they could leave without mentioning it. She couldn't understand why he was being so suddenly cool with everything she did, even if they were all out of her work ethic. As much as she was relieved that he wasn't being grouchy about it, she couldn't help but be antsy that he was acting strangely. Even worse than the first time he made her so uncomfortable with his sudden luxurious giftings, treats, and misleading actions. ‘Oh! That was it!’ Skylar's head instantly made up a plausible qualifier of the scenario in her head, as she went down her memory lane of when he started acting like that also. Her heart shattered painfully, the more she thought of it in her head, and tried to understand it properly. ‘The first time that he was extremely nice to her to a suffocating extent was when they first unintentionally had sex, and things got quite awkward eve

“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

The evening breeze brushed gently over the terrace of Ivan's home, and the beautiful scents of marigolds and lavender from the garden which was situated not far from where the two friends sat, permeated the cool evening breeze with a nice fragrance that was soothing. Sitting across from Ivan, was Leo, who was dressed in a finely pressed summer shirt and slacks, as he slouched comfortably against the chair he was sitting on, with a light grin sitting on his lips. Gently, he swirled the glass of whiskey that was nestled between his fingers, as he stared at Ivan, who had been gazing hard at him for the past few seconds, as if thinking of what to say first. And then, he finally spoke. “So, you are telling me it has taken you two days since you landed to get a drink with me all because of a lady?” Ivan cocked a brow at him. “You know I have not seen or spoken to her since that …….” “Says the man who shows up on my doorstep after disappearing for half a year, and felt like he had to

It was late at night already, but the skies were still as bright as evening, which gave a physical misrepresentation of what time truly was, and had tricked Amelia into believing that the night was still young. She had quickly dressed up for work and sat in front of the dresser for a quick makeup touch, as she used the curling iron to press her hair while trying to gloss a shining red lipstick across her lips at the same time. However, while in haste to leave for her shift that night, her eyes caught sight of Skylar's restlessness through the mirror, whose body was sprawled lazily on the bed, with one hand tucked under her head, the other holding her phone close as she stared at the screen with an unreadable expression. “You never told me what happened last night,” Amelia began, trying to sound casual as she fluffed her hair over one shoulder, “You came home so gloomy and sad,” she glanced at the mirror again, while observing her closely.Meanwhile, Skylar was so engrossed in wha

Ivan stepped into his office after the meeting had ended, and was so surprised to see Skylar sitting at her desk, as calm and composed as ever. It was as if she had not refused to pick up his call all day, or failed to inform him as usual that she would not be around in the morning. She had him so worried. Regardless, a sense of relief washed over him in the most exhilarating manner, before he walked across to the front of her table, a little worried that she seemed bothered by his palpable presence, “Where were you, Sky? Your phone has been off since yesterday,” he gazed at her so intently when he questioned, as if beckoning her to look up at him. Without meeting his eyes, Skylar continued to type fast on her computer as if she had a deadline to meet, and murmured a sincere apology, “I am so sorry for missing the meeting, Mr. Hamilton. It won’t happen again,” she spoke calmly and eloquently. Ivan was taken aback by her very professional tone, as if to shut him out and install

With a weary and bothered heart, Ivan made his way to the office the next day, bothered that Skylar's phone had been off since the previous night. He was a little later to work than usual because a minor collision occurred with his car that morning on his way to work from a rough driver, and it distorted his plans to come early by a few minutes because he had the car towed and another brought to him.Quickly, he stalked out of his elevator as soon as it chimed open on the last floor with large strides in the most elegant way, and instantly made his way to the front of his office, as he opened the door to the office instantly, hoping to see her. However, disappointment clouded his face as soon his eyes fell on the empty desk where Skylar was supposed to be sitting behind. The chair was pushed in, and her papers were still untouched from the previous day. ‘Where was she?’ He wondered, his eyes raising in concern as he hesitated for a few seconds before entering inside, and made his w

The morning sun which Skylar had always loved suddenly felt unkind as it cast its harsh light on her weary face as she trudged into the main doors of the huge company, because it seemed as if it amplified the ache in her heart and the anger she felt from deep within. She made her way into the CEO's VIP elevator with its access card because she gracefully wanted to avoid bumping into any of the company workers, not minding the talks they might make again as to reasons why she got to ride the elevator when Ivan was not even with her. She could barely look at herself in the elevator mirror that she was surrounded by when she got in, and each glance she took at her reflection revealed her tired, hollow eyes and puffy cheeks, which she had spent half an hour trying to conceal. Despite the makeup, traces of last night’s turmoil clung to her like an embarrassment that she couldn’t wash away. It was obvious that she had cried so much. Skylar just wished that she was so open and cared less

Skylar stepped into her apartment with deep weariness engraved deep into her bones, as the weight of what she had just witnessed sat heavily on her chest, crushed her with each breath she took, and blurred her eyes with suffocating tears. The image of Ivan and Gwen kissing replayed in her head like a broken record over and over again, and it was as if a knife had been thrust into her gut. It was almost too hard to bear in mere sight, and the thoughts it brought to her mind severed her heart mercilessly. It suddenly felt as if all the moments that existed between her and Ivan meant nothing. Like she didn't even exist, enough for him to respect what happened between them. Like she didn't matter. Nothing hurt her more than the fact that the sight confirmed her fears and made her feel smaller than ever. It was even more terrifying because she didn't have the right to get angry at him. After all, they were just flings anyway. They didn't even have a name for what they were doing, so she
