All Chapters of Taming My Hot Personal Assistant: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

“Hello Laura.” Skylar greeted her baby sitter who was sitting in the couch with a sleeping baby in her arms.“Shh.” Laura immediately placed her finger on her lips, cautioning Skylar to not make any noise. “I just managed to get him to sleep. He was restless.”Skylar winced as she gazed at her son whose head was resting on Laura's shoulder. Austin wasn't a worrisome child but Skylar knew how bad it could get when his crying mood set in.Laura had been her son's caretaker for more than a year ever since Skylar's maternal leave had ended. She took very well of Austin on weekdays while Gypsy was at work. Without her, navigating her demanding job and a son would've been very stressful.Laura's brows crinkled in confusion. “You're home early.” She whispered.That reminded Skylar of the shitty day she'd had. Sighing, she sunk onto the couch beside Laura.“Remember when I told you that my boss was planning to make an investment which was sure to ruin everything?” Skylar asked. Laura nodded. “

Their eyes met, his electric cyan eyes locking with her grey ones. In that moment, Skylar felt like she'd been transported to three years ago, the current that'd always sizzled between them that they'd always tried to ignore before he'd asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend at his family get together.Then as quickly as he'd looked at her, Luca looked away, showing not even a single sign of acknowledgement. Skylar was left staring at him like a dumbstruck dimwit as he strolled to the head table followed by a man Skylar remembered to be Brandon Wood.“I apologize again.” Luca said to the board, his voice the ever sexy baritone she remembered it to be even though he was talking business. “A little traffic came up.”Sitting in the swivel chair with his body adorned in that fitting grey suit, his hair moderately slicked back, he looked as handsome as she remembered him to be. Yet it still felt like a dream. After all, what were the chances that out of all the business tycoons that cou

Ella was an expert in diverting tensed situations and did so immediately.“What now? Aren't you going to hug your best friend whom you've missed like hell?” She asked, spreading her arms wide.“You and your impromptu returns.” Skylar shook her head, and yet she walked into her best friend's waiting arms, hugging her tightly.“Oh, please.” Ella said, and Skylar just knew she was rolling her eyes even though she wasn't looking at her face. “As if you don't love those surprises. Don't worry, baby. Mama is here for good now!” She run her hand through Skylar's hair, ruffling it, which caused Skylar to finally pull out of the hug with a laugh.“Wait! What do you mean by 'for good'? Like you mean for real, for real.”Ella loved the volunteer work she did which had taken her across every continent and she was very passionate about it. The last time they spoke which was about a week ago, Ella hadn't even seemed like she was ready to step back from the volunteer work.But Ella's joyful nodding

“My cousin actually threatened to take you to court if you don't return to the company?” Ella asked, her voice laden with bewilderment.Skylar didn't bother to answer, knowing her question was rhetorical. Instead, she stuffed her face with some more cookies that Ella had made, angry with both Luca and herself. Him for bringing all this chaos into her life, and herself for being so affected by him.“What the hell is wrong with him? He needs to hear a piece of my mind!” Ella fumed. “And if he doesn't listen, I'll tell my aunt. She'll definitely talk some sense into him!”Skylar almost chuckled at that. “His mum hates me, Ella. Have you forgotten that? She doesn't want me in her son's life and would definitely support everything he's doing to make my life hell.”Her chest squeezed at the memory of the disdain in the eyes of Cornelia when she'd kicked Skylar out of Luca's house. To think that the woman had liked her so much before, hurt her every time she recalled.She vaguely wondered how

“...and as you can see, the crisis cost the company a whole lot. Several clients and investors pulled out, and we're barely hanging on to nine figures in terms of our finances.” Skylar explained as she gestured at several parts of the digital graph she'd pulled up on the screen. “In this case...”“This is irrelevant.” Luca cut her off, his heated gaze searing into her. “Are you doubting the influence of Knight Corporations, Miss Simpson? Everything is going to be sorted out when the market realizes that Lancaster Innovations is now under Knight Corporations.”Bristling at being so rudely interrupted, Skylar forced a smile on her face. “Or it could tank the confidence people have in Knight Corporations. That very much is possible. In this situation, over-confidence is not the solution, Mr. Knight. We both know how well that served you three years ago.”The room fell quite, tension thrumming through the air. Skylar saw the look of shock and intrigue in the eyes of the three executives at
