Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire Friends Reunion
Skylar “Finally! I was starting to think you had disappeared off the face of the earth,” Amber, my best friend, exclaimed the moment she saw me and pulled me into a tight hug. “Amber! I've missed you so much,” I exclaimed, excited to see her after a long time since she travelled. “I've missed you more, Sky. Although, I don't know why you hadn't had time for us to see ever since I got back,” Amber complained with a pout. I smiled apologetically. “I’ve been… busy.” We found a table and sat down, and the moment they did, Amber gave me a curious look. “Busy with what? Do you still work at that restaurant?” She asked and then narrowed her eyes at me suspiciously. “I hope that scumbag hasn’t been bothering you anymore?" I knew exactly who she meant. Ethan. I shook my head. "No, Amber. Ethan hasn't been pestering me. It’s strange, actually. It’s like he disappeared overnight." Amber’s eyes widened. "Disappeared? To where? That’s not like him at all. That arrogant jerk was obse

Skylar As expected, Amber nearly choked on her drink. “Wait, what?” I winced at her reaction, already anticipating the flood of questions. She appeared frozen, just gawking at me, probably waiting for me to laugh and tell her I was kidding. When she didn't get the reaction she was expecting from me, she exclaimed louder. “You—Skylar, you got married?! Are you kidding me right now? And you didn’t tell me?” Amber’s voice was sharp with disbelief as she gaped at me, her eyes wide with shock. She looked like I had just told her I was moving to another planet. “When did this happen? Is that why you suddenly grew distant? who did you get married to?” I swallowed, feeling my throat go dry. My fingers instinctively played with the hem of my sleeve as I hesitated. Glancing around to make sure there weren’t too many people around—because I knew how dramatic and loud Amber could be—I finally said, “Cole Buckman.” The moment the name left my lips, Amber’s jaw dropped. Her expres

Skylar "I can't believe you’re wasting your beauty like this, Sky! You have such a great figure, yet you insist on dressing like you’re some boring secretary in a dull office drama,” Amber rolled her eyes as she pushed me toward a high-end clothing store. She had been nagging me for nearly twenty minutes after we met at the Cafe. Ever since she found out I was married to Cole, she had been criticizing my lack of effort in dressing up as a ‘billionaire’s wife'. I let out a tired sigh, already knowing this conversation was going nowhere. "Amber, I really don’t see the big deal. They’re just clothes." Amber gasped, placing a hand over her chest like I had just uttered something blasphemous. "Just clothes? Sky, that’s an insult to someone like me! Fashion is an art, a language. It tells the world who you are before you even open your mouth. And right now, you’re practically telling people you don’t exist!" She flipped her hair dramatically and gestured to herself. "Look at me!

Cole "How long do you plan to stay in my arms?" I asked in a cold tone. Skylar briefly met my eyes before quickly pulling away as she regained her composure. I'd just left the building where I went to see a business client when I saw Skylar heading toward the busy street. In an instant, a car came speeding down the road. I didn’t even think twice. I ran after her and reached her just in time. I grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the danger. The truck roared past us, and for a moment, my heart pounded with relief as well as anger. I couldn’t believe that Skylar would run into traffic like that. It felt as if she didn’t care about her own safety at all. Without wasting time, I carried Skylar into my car. As I pulled her inside, my eyes burned with both worry and anger. Did she even know how close she was to being hit by that truck?! The thought made my heart pound as my hand tightened on the steering wheel. She had no idea—no idea how one small mistake could have cost he

Cole I stood by the car, arms folded, eyes locked on the hospital entrance as I waited for Skylar to come out. I suddenly heard the sound of a car pulling up beside me. I turned just in time to see Xavier stepping out, a shopping bag in hand. The moment his eyes met mine, I saw it—that guilt, sharp and heavy, written all over his face. He hesitated before walking toward me. "How is Skylar doing? I brought back some things she might need," he said, holding up the bag. I didn’t answer right away. I just stared at him. The anger I’d been holding back flared beneath my skin, but I forced myself to stay composed. Barely. I had trusted him with her. Left her in his care, thinking she’d be safe. And yet, while she stood on that road, terrified and vulnerable, he had been nowhere in sight. Where the hell was he? "I know I messed up," he said, his voice low, almost defeated. "I should’ve been more careful. It was my negligence that almost got her hit by that truck. I apologize for tha

Skylar Ever since the incident at the restaurant, Cole hardly allowed me to go out. He arranged all kinds of etiquette training to ‘prepare me’ for the family dinner. But deep down, I knew that he was using these lessons as a way to stall me, keeping me too busy to have any time to go out. Days blur together, and I passed the time from one training session to the next, until the anticipated day was finally here. I was awoken early in the morning by a series of sounds coming from downstairs. Groggily, I got out of bed and made my way down, wondering what could be happening at this hour. As I stepped into the living room, I was met with a surprising sight: a group of people bustling about, each holding tool boxes or carefully arranged rows of clothes. The room was bustling with activity, and I could hear soft murmurs and the rustle of fabric everywhere. What in the world is going on?! I approached Ingrid and asked, “Ingrid, what’s all this about?” She looked up from what sh

Cole When we arrived at my grandfather’s house, a crowd of relatives and family friends had gathered in the front yard. The house buzzed with energy, and I could tell tonight’s dinner would be a big event. I pulled the car to a stop and helped Skylar out. We stepped onto the lawn, and I led her into the house one by one to greet our guests. As we walked through the busy foyer, I introduced Skylar to many of my family members. Their smiles were genuine, and I could see that they were pleased to meet her. Then, as we moved through the crowd, Skylar’s eyes widened in surprise when she spotted someone familiar near the staircase. I noticed her reaction and smiled reassuringly. “Skylar, I want you to officially meet Xavier,” I said casually. “He’s actually my cousin—my uncle’s son.” Skylar was shocked—she probably hadn’t expected that Xavier and I were related. She quickly turned to him and murmured, “I’m so sorry about the other day, Xavier. I didn’t mean to cause you any troubl

A warm smile played on Vanessa's lips as she kept touching the necklace, but I wasn’t fooled. Her tone seemed light, almost playful, as she most likely asked about its origins, but her eyes told a different story—burning with greed. I noticed Skylar, silly as she was, so oblivious to Vanessa’s true intentions, and eagerly answering Vanessa's questions. She had no idea that the woman standing in front of her wanted nothing more than to rip that necklace off her neck. Skylar must have told her I was the one who gifted her the necklace because the next thing I knew, she turned to me. Vanessa’s expression shifted subtly, the mask cracking for just a second before she also glanced at me. Her smile tightened, her eyes cold. I raised my glass in silent amusement, watching as her irritation deepened. Vanessa could barely keep up the act. Her expression stiffened before she turned away abruptly, unable to maintain her composure. Without another word, she walked over to me. Her smile was

Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire BREWING FRIENDSHIP
SkylarMonday mornings always had a strange feeling to them. A fresh start... but also a kind of rush that made your heart beat faster than usual.I stepped into the office building, clutching my laptop bag and a small tote. I made my way to my office quickly. There was a lot to do today, and I didn’t want to waste any time.Tara had asked me on Friday to prepare some updated designs and submit them first thing Monday morning. I had worked late Friday night to make sure it was done, and I was proud of how it had turned out. All that was left was to print it out, package it properly, and submit it.As soon as I reached my desk, I placed my tote aside, switched on my desktop.I clicked quickly into my folder.Then I paused.My eyes narrowed.The folder where I had saved the designs... was empty.I clicked again. Then again.Nothing.A wave of confusion washed over me. I remembered clearly — crystal clear — that I had saved the file before leaving Friday night. I even dou

EthanI tapped my fingers against the table, lost in my thoughts. It had been almost a month now since Skylar had started working at Elegance Company.A full month.When I first heard that she had been hired here, I could barely contain my excitement. I remembered the feeling vividly — that rush of satisfaction knowing that finally, finally, I had her where I wanted. In my territory. Under my thumb. Just as I wanted.She hadn’t even realized it then — how naive she had been to think she could step into my world and not pay the price.From the moment she arrived, I made it my personal mission to make every single day difficult for her.It wasn’t long before her colleagues caught on.They were smart enough to sense where the wind was blowing. They adjusted quickly, treating Skylar with the same cold indifference I showed her. Some even went out of their way to be cruel, hoping to score favor points.My plan had been working beautifully.And the best part?I could see it written
Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire A New Light
Skylar It didn’t take long after the presentation for everyone to notice.It was becoming clearer with each passing day that Ethan, the new managing director, had something against me.At first, it started with the little remarks during my design presentation, lingering glances that felt more like warnings than observations. But after a few days, he wasn’t even hiding it anymore. If there was a mistake to be pointed out, he always managed to find it in my work—even if it was barely there. If there was praise to be handed out, it somehow skipped right over me, even when I knew I had earned it.And my colleagues? They caught on quickly.No one wanted to be associated with someone the new boss didn’t like.I noticed the shift almost immediately. People who used to smile politely now avoided my eyes. Conversations at the coffee station stopped the second I walked past. Even Lilian, who had been so warm and kind to me on my first day, turned cold. Her greetings became forced, her smiles
Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire Rise Among Hyenas
SkylarIt had been a few days since Tara revealed the truth about why my designs had been consistently rejected. A part of me felt betrayed, another part exhausted. I sat by the garden bench outside the studio, letting my eyes roam the space. The flowers had bloomed so beautifully this season—bright yellows, and soft lilacs that swayed gently with the breeze—but I couldn’t even enjoy the view. My heart felt too heavy.I kept asking myself the same questions over and over. What should I do now? Should I report Ethan? But to who? He was the general manager and part of the Buckman family. He wasn’t just anybody I could challenge. He had power, influence, and a reputation so pristine, no one would believe me.I sighed.The next few moments passed quietly until I heard a voice behind me.“That’s the third time you’ve sighed in the past five minutes.”Startled, I twisted around. I didn’t hear footsteps. When did he get here?Cole.He walked forward slowly and took a seat beside me on th
Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire Being Targeted
SkylarI walked into the office the next morning expecting more files and maybe even punishment. After what happened with Tara the night before, I was sure she’d hold a grudge. But to my surprise, something completely unexpected happened—Tara handed me my first official design task!For a moment, I just stared at her, unsure if I’d heard her correctly.“You’ll be in charge of this one,” she said, placing a file in my hands.I blinked. “Me?”“Yes, you,” she replied with a small smile before walking away.My hands tightened around the file. I couldn’t believe it. After all the days of doing chores and running around, this… this was what I’d been waiting for. My very first design!It felt like a door had finally opened, and for once, I could breathe a sigh of content and relief. My heart swelled with hope. Maybe I’d misunderstood Tara all along. Maybe I was just being tested, and now, I’d finally earned their trust.I threw myself into the design with everything I had. I made sure I pu

Skylar I had never felt this uneasy going to work — not even on my very first job. Since resuming at Elegance Jewelry, I’d been on edge, watching every move Ethan made, bracing myself for whatever game he might play now that he was my boss. But strangely enough, he didn’t seem to notice me at all. After that first morning when he was introduced as the General Manager, Ethan hadn’t so much as glanced in my direction. No calls. No confrontations. Not even a nod. At first, the silence was even more nerve-racking than an argument would have been. I kept waiting for the storm. But when days passed and he still hadn’t acknowledged my existence, I began to think maybe I was wrong. Maybe he wasn’t going to make things difficult for me after all. Maybe he had decided to forget about the past and just move ahead…right? With that thought slowly settling in, I began to relax a little. I poured my energy into completing the tasks my supervisor, Tara, gave me. It was easier to stay focuse
Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire Strategic Move
ColeSkylar sat across from me at the dinner table, her fork moving food around her plate more than bringing it to her mouth. When I asked about her first day at Elegance Jewelry, she hesitated for a while and I could tell she was holding something back. Her eyes met mine as she initially threw me a suspicious gaze before she finally looked away, then gave a small smile and said everything went well. But I didn't press her. Instead, I raised an eyebrow and nodded, letting the conversation move on. But inside, I knew the day hadn't been as uneventful as she claimed.How could it be when I knew that Ethan’s personnel transfer form as the managing director of Elegance Jewelry Company was still lying on my desk?I remembered when Xavier had brought the transfer procedures to my attention and had asked if we should halt Ethan's move.But I had told him not to interfere. Not only did I allow the transfer, but I also took the initiative to promote Ethan to Managing Director of Elegance Je

Skylar I pushed the door open with a bit more force than I meant to, feeling the weight of the day on my shoulders. My shoes scraped along the floor as I walked in, too worn out to even care about taking them off. I was in a mood. A very bad one. And I didn’t need anyone asking about it. Ingrid must have been in the kitchen when I arrived because I could hear her humming softly, her usual cheerful tune. But as soon as she saw me, she stopped. "Skylar, is everything okay?" she asked, noticing the sour expression on my face. I didn’t answer at first, as I made my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I wasn't even in the mood to talk to anyone, but I couldn’t just ignore Ingrid. Not when she was looking at me with that concerned expression. “Nothing. I'm fine,” I mumbled in a low voice. I saw Ingrid hesitate for a second, her eyes narrowing slightly as she weighed whether to push for an answer. But then she sighed, understanding that this wasn’t something I’d want to discuss
Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire The New Boss
The day was finally here. I stood in front of the company gate, staring up at the tall building of Elegance Jewelry. My heart was beating faster than usual. It was my first day at work. I took a deep breath and touched the side of my dress gently, the same one Cole had prepared for me this morning. I remembered the cream-colored parcel I found on my bed earlier that morning, and the small note he left tucked inside. “Good luck on your first day at work. – Cole.” And a small smile played on my lips. That simple note, and the thought he put into choosing the dress, gave me more courage than I thought I needed. Somehow, just knowing he remembered this day made the nerves in my chest settle a little. I straightened my shoulders and walked forward, determined to do well. When I walked inside and told the receptionist who I was, I was directed to the third floor. When the elevator stopped at the floor, the doors slid open, and it seemed the world around me changed. People were r
