All Chapters of The Billionaire Boss Wants His Doting Sweetheart Back: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

It was Monday of the new week, and Skylar was ready for work again as she struggled with her thoughts through the weekend while preparing Ivan's schedule for the week, meticulously planning out every detail and work calendar to ensure his demanding routine ran smoothly. She arrived much earlier than she usually did because she didn't want Ivan to chide her again on a good day, and she was quite relieved that she arrived about ten minutes and settled at her table before he entered the office. He sauntered in so grandly, his presence effortlessly commanding, as he strode in confidently as ever, looking even much better than he did the last time she saw him, which was two days ago. And he surprisingly looked even taller than usual, which made her wonder if it was she who had gotten shorter. “Good morning, Mr. Hamilton,” she greeted, her tone firm and uncompromising familiarity. Ivan gave a curt nod without saying much, as his piercing eyes briefly met hers and fell to her feet, and

Skylar sat still at her desk as she began her work for the day which had piled up during her week-long absence, her eyes constantly glancing at her wristwatch incessantly, her pressure mounting to see that Ivan had not returned to his office or called either to inform her of anything. Suddenly, the door to her office swung open with a forceful thud and caused her to flinch, as she raised her eyes instantly, ready to face Ivan and hear whatever he had to tell her. However, disappointment clouded her eyes instantly, as soon as the sight of the substitute secretary, Taylor, sauntered into her office with a look of spiteful annoyance etched on her face. “You were here?” She was unable to hide the shock that furrowed her brows, as she stared at Skylar as if awaiting an explanation. “Yeah. Any problem?” Skylar's voice was smooth, her eyes questioning why she thought otherwise. “We all thought you had resigned from your job already, but someone said you came around this morning, so I ca

In the serenity of his opulent private vacation house away from the company, Ivan sat behind the study desk in his bedroom, a blend of elegance and sophistication that faced the floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a beautiful view of the natural environment around the top hill where the vacation house was located. A glass of champagne rested in his hand as he worked, while drinking from it at intervals, as he reviewed the constant stream of endless emails that were the most important ones that needed his approval or attention, which had been reviewed by Skylar. Despite the efficiency with which he managed to keep working, his mind kept drifting to Skylar's words concerning his unhealthy eating the more he drank from the champagne glass. Her voice was calm and composed even if it was usually laced with frustration and concern whenever she talked to him countless times about it in the past. “You need to eat well, Mr. Hamilton. Too much champagne without food would ruin your health,

“I am sorry, Sky. Your shoes went missing,” Amelia announced to Skylar as she sat on the edge of the bed in the room, fidgeting nervously with the hem of her dress, her pleading eyes searching Skylar's own. “What?” Skylar's voice failed her at that moment, as she tried to process what she had just heard her friend tell her. She was just coming to the grocery store after she visited her Mum at the hospital since she closed earlier at work, and surprisingly met Amelia at home, who had said she was not going to be home until the weekend.“I am truly sorry, Sky. I threw up at the party I went to, and I was laid to rest by some friends. When I woke up, it was gone. I think someone took them off my legs,” Amelia's eyes lingered with pity and sadness as she spoke softly, her sweaty fingers fiddling with one another. Dumbfounded, Skylar's mind raced, searching for the right words to say at that moment, as different kinds of emotions swirled within her - confusion, disappointment, and som

“About your schedule, sir,” Skylar followed behind Ivan the next morning, reading his report to him as usual. She arrived as early as she could, but he was already there waiting for her, and didn't even complain about anything or talk about what ensued the day before. He just glossed over it when she apologized and nodded casually like it was a normal thing to happen. Skylar was unable to wrap her head around why, but she was glad things were back to normal. “About my schedule. Leave it as it is. I will be working less as the doctor had said,” he responded, just before she could tell him that she had adjusted, and her eyes widened in shock hearing what he told her. ‘What?! Leave it the way it was?! When she had adjusted it already?!’ Skylar wanted to scream so loudly at his face, as her words fought for silence within her brain and mind. ‘This condescending man! He was just after her peace!’ she almost sneered overtly, as she curbed the urge to grind her teeth together in anger.
