All Chapters of The Billionaire Boss Wants His Doting Sweetheart Back: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

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

“Is it for real?! You are dating Skylar?!” Leo's loud voice almost blew Ivan's ears when he picked up his phone call, which he had initially rejected as a video call. He could not allow Leo to get to him again. “Screw off, Leo. Is that how to greet a friend?” Ivan cocked an eyebrow, knowing there was no way Leo would see that. “Why? Because I was right all this time?” Leo spoke with amusement, his lips stretching out in a broad grin. “Do you want me to date so badly? Or do you just have a penchant for making wild guesses and wrong speculations?” “I have not said yet. Have I? The news said it all!” Leo sounded so excited, sensing the growing frustration in Ivan even if he could not see him. “We are not dating,” Ivan finally revealed, tired of letting his friend's ideas run wild. “What did the news publish then? And why was she resting on your shoulders? In a rather romantic way at that? With your hand seemingly touching her cheeks?” Leo tweaked his voice in a way he knew got on

“Sir, I do not think this is the best time to travel together,” Skylar told Ivan, just at the moment when they were both ready to leave in his car for the conglomerate's private hangar. “Why?” He flashed her a questioning look that had bewilderment lingering in them. “Because of the rumors. We barely had it in control just a few days ago,” she gave him what felt like the suitable answer in her head, and not the one she had as an answer for herself. She wanted to be as far away from him as possible. “Trying so hard would only make people assume that we are trying to hide the fact that there is more. You just need to be professional as usual. Nothing special,” he responded with firmness and clarity, his eyes still looking for doubt at her expression. “But, sir,…….” “Not, buts, Sky. The plane leaves at twenty. Besides, it is not public. That makes it even better,” he got into the car instantly, which made her concede finally, as she drew in a short breath before getting into the

Skylar blinked, Ivan's sudden apology catching her off guard, “Sir?” she thought that she had heard wrongly. Ivan's eyes darted to the floor for a moment, as if gathering his thoughts, before meeting her eyes again, “For everything that has happened… for the trouble I might have caused you, I am sorry. I realized that this trip, the scandal, everything has put you in a difficult position, and I apologize for that,” his eyes mirrored sincerity as he spoke. Her breath caught in her throat as she heard him apologize, her mouth dropping open in shock, because she had not expected it at all. She had been so focused on maintaining her professionalism during the trip, and had been so wrapped up in her own confusion and emotions that she hadn’t considered that he might have been bothered too. Hearing him apologize and seeing regret linger in his eyes, made something within her stir even more, her heart skipping beats. ‘He cared. He genuinely cared enough to apologize,’ were words her head

Skylar sat in the meeting she had attended with Ivan the next day at the newest branch of their company in Munich, Germany, while taking detailed minutes of every important point, decision, and action that was concluded in the meeting. And even as she tried to keep typing on the keyboard of her laptop, her mind would suddenly wander away, to the events of the night before, her heart fluttering with anxiety as well as excitement, and would skip several beats whenever she thought of it. The memory of his touch all over her body, the way his eyes had locked with hers, the bites, the pleasure, and everything he did to her, had her head up in the clouds, and had loitering effects on her body at the sight of him the next morning. She could still feel the crawling effects his breath on her neck, and his scent that lingered on her like a sweet intoxicating perfume. The night before, he gently told her that she should take her bath after she came back to her mind and suddenly became
