All Chapters of Used by my billionaire boss: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Stepping outside, the cool evening air greeted her as she made her way home. The city was alive with soft lights and distant sounds that seemed to echo the gentle beating of her heart. Every step on the pavement felt heavy with the memories of the day. She replayed the sight of Leon in her mind, cherishing the brief moment of recognition that had passed between them.At home in her small apartment, Stephanie sat by the window and allowed the events of the day to settle in her heart. The soft glow of the streetlights mixed with the quiet hum of the city outside. She opened her journal and began to write. Each word was written with a tender honesty. She described the gentle strength of Leon, the purposeful way he moved through life, and the hint of sadness that clung to him like a shadow. Her writing was simple, yet each sentence carried the weight of her hidden emotions.She wrote about the cool touch of the marble floor, the soft murmur of conversations in the office, and the fleeting

Stephanie’s heart raced at the memory. She knew that a smile like that was rare from him. The moment felt precious, as if it were a small break in the armor of his aloof demeanor. She wondered what thoughts lay behind those eyes, what memories or emotions could spark such a brief but significant change. For her, that fleeting smile was a conversation without words, a moment of vulnerability that spoke volumes in silence.The day wore on, and the sun began to lower in the sky, casting long shadows in the office corridors. Stephanie gathered her notes and tidied her desk, her thoughts still filled with the subtle signals from earlier. Even as she packed her belongings, her mind replayed the events of the day. The soft voices, the quick glances, and most of all, the delicate smile that had sparked a connection between two souls separated by duty and circumstance.Before leaving, Stephanie took one final look around the busy office. She glanced toward Leon’s office one more time. Through

In that quiet moment, the office seemed to shrink away from her. All that mattered was the memory of that call and the realization that even the strongest person could have cracks in his armor. It was a truth that made her feel both sad and strangely hopeful. Sad because it meant that the man she admired was in pain, and hopeful because it meant that beneath the layers of authority and pride, there might be room for healing. And perhaps, one day, there might be room for someone to share that healing.When she returned to her desk, Stephanie’s hands trembled slightly as she organized her notes. The soft clack of the keyboard seemed to echo the rhythm of her heart. She tried to focus on the work that lay ahead, but her mind kept drifting back to Leon. There was a strange pull in her heart now, a desire to know more about the person behind the mask. She wondered about the life he had once shared with Adriana and the events that had driven a wedge between them. Her curiosity was interwove

A few moments of silence passed. Then, a soft beep indicated another message from Clara: Remember, you are not alone, even if it feels that way sometimes. The message warmed her heart. She looked up from her phone and out the window again. The city was a quiet constellation of lights, each one a story, each one a secret.Stephanie closed her eyes for a moment, letting the calm of the night wash over her. "I hope one day you can share your burdens," she said aloud, her voice trembling slightly. "You deserve to be heard." The words were filled with a wish for him to open up, to let someone see the man behind the strength.The clock moved slowly. Minutes melted into the stillness of the night. Stephanie returned to her work, but her focus was split. Every time she heard a soft sound or saw a shadow move, her heart leapt with the possibility that Leon might be stepping out of his solitude. But the corridors remained silent, and his door stayed closed.At one point, the silence became too

The conversation drifted into a gentle silence, each lost in their own thoughts. Outside the café window, the afternoon sun began to wane, casting long shadows on the busy street. The soft murmur of other patrons became a distant lullaby for the two friends.Stephanie leaned back, her heart both heavy and hopeful. "I keep wondering what it would be like if things were different," she murmured. "If he were not so guarded, if his eyes could reveal more than just a hint of sadness. I imagine a world where we could talk without reservations, where our hearts would not be hidden behind walls of duty and regret."Clara listened intently, her gaze fixed on Stephanie’s face. "I know it is hard to accept that some things may never change," she said gently. "But sometimes, the very thing that makes someone seem unreachable is also what makes them human. It is their pain, their past, that shapes them. You may not be able to fix him, but you can offer him kindness from afar. Just be sure not to l
