Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire Misjudged
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

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

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

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.

Skylar The hall was bright and full of life. Laughter and chatter mixed with the soft clinking of glasses as the guests smiled, raising their drinks in celebration. It was a beautiful night—one that should have been mine. I stood there in a flowing white dress, my hands curled slightly at my sides. My eyes stayed on the man in front of me. Ethan. He wore a black suit, his smile easy and charming. He nodded as people congratulated him, his expression filled with happiness. For a moment, I wanted to believe this was for me. That this was our special night. A surprise he had prepared for me. But sadly, it wasn’t. The proposal party I had dreamed of, the moment I had longed for, was unfolding before my eyes, but I was not the one in the spotlight. I was merely the pianist, playing background music for the celebration of another couple. I closed my eyes, forcing the sharp pain in my heart to fade. The moment I reopened them, the sight before me burned into my soul like a hot

Skylar I ignored the ringing phone for the hundredth time. Ethan. Again. The name flashing on my screen made my stomach turn. I clenched my fists, taking a deep breath to control my emotions. For days, he had been calling relentlessly. I had blocked his number once, but he simply found new ones to reach me. Why was he doing this? What more did he want after everything he had done? I turned my phone face-down on the table and focused on my work, trying to drown out the thoughts clawing at my mind. But the phone rang again. And again. And again. I gritted my teeth angrily. After countless calls, I finally snapped. I grabbed the phone and answered sharply. “What do you want, Ethan?” A pause. Then, a chuckle—soft, familiar, but no longer comforting as it used to be. “Skylar,” he said, my name slowly rolling off his tongue. “Finally.” “I don’t want to hear from you. Stop calling me,” I said coldly. He sighed, as if I were the one being unreasonable. “I just want to t

Cole Xander stirred his espresso and suddenly nudged my arm. “Do you know her?” he asked. I didn’t respond right away, my gaze still fixed on the scene unfolding before me. Xander let out a low chuckle. "Damn, Cole. I’ve never seen you look at a woman like that before. No matter how beautiful she is, you don’t have to keep staring.” His eyes narrowed playfully. “When did you start taking an interest in anything other than business?" I pulled my gaze away from the scene across the café and smirked. “I didn’t expect to see such a good show right after coming back.” It had been years since I last set foot in New York, but some things never changed. The people, the conversations, the social hierarchy that governed this city—it was all the same. Xander followed my line of sight, and the moment he spotted the man standing there, his expression shifted. "Wait a second. Why is your stepbrother here? Didn’t he just propose to the daughter of the Rothem family? Why is he tangled up w

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
Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire Subsidiary Company
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
Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire Bitter View
EthanThe soft glow of the restaurant lights wasn’t enough to warm the cold twist building in my stomach. How would you feel when you enter a restaurant and see your ex-girlfriend, talking and laughing, looking very intimate and loving with your step brother? You guessed right…that was exactly how I felt!The moment I had stepped inside with Celeste, my eyes scanned the restaurant, not really searching for anything specific. But there she was. Skylar. It felt like the air had been knocked clean out of my chest. She was sitting at one of the corner tables, dressed in a way I could only call breathtaking. Simple, yet elegant. The kind of beauty that didn’t need screaming gowns or diamonds to shine. She was all grace, her head tilted slightly as she laughed at something Cole said. That sound — her laugh — it wasn’t the soft, polite chuckle I remembered from before. No, this was something brighter, lighter, alive. I hadn’t seen that spark in her for a long time. Maybe not since
