Billion Dollar Illusion 011
Skylar's POV Truly, I’m lost. Like genuinely lost.Not metaphorically or emotionally, but I mean physically lost inside this giant billionaire maze.And who do I get to blame? I can't blame myself because it's still my first day... my first actual day, and I'm praying I don't mess it all up, but it seems exactly like what is happening. What excuse do I give for wandering around the exclusive floors of Ford Corporation like an unpaid intern in a legal drama?I probably look stupid right now, and I can't help but wonder what Carter Ford thinks of his new employee standing in front of him."I think you're lost."Caught red-handed and in 4k.I turn slowly, and there he is.Same white suit and silver tie from earlier this morning. His hands are folded across his chest as he leans lazily against the wall like he has nowhere else to be despite literally owning half the building.His eyes stay on me, studying me quietly.I get so nervous from his stare that suddenly, I become hyperaware of
Billion Dollar Illusion 010
Carter's POVI'm now a full-time workaholic. Well, it's not a bad thing when it's only multi-million dollar deals, investments, and endorsements that keep you travelling around the country and the world signing and making partnerships.Two nights in Los Angeles, and now my attention is needed in Seattle, but I have to stop by in New York first.My newly inherited corporation is there. My father always says he believed in me to carry on each and every one of his legacies. I am his only son, and he doesn't mind entrusting everything to me. That shows I've always been a good boy.I'm already dressed in a Kiton white suit, silver tie, and black watch. There's no point stopping at my penthouse when I get to New York. I'll head straight to Ford Corporation, and in an hour or two, I should leave for Seattle.The flight from Los Angeles to New York is quiet, just exactly how I like it. The low hum of my private jet and the Manhattan skyline slowly coming back into view through the window.I a

Skylar’s POV The rest of the morning of my first day goes surprisingly normal even though I spend the next few hours trying to settle into my office and pretend I’m not internally spiraling over the fact that I made soul-searching eye contact with Carter Ford through an elevator door like we’re starring in some toxic Netflix romance.But what still gets me bothered is that Dan Wheeler definitely heard me talking to myself afterwards.Did he see who was in the elevator? Because if he did, he'll definitely think I'm crazy and he could possibly come up with speculations about something going on between us. That's just how rumours start, and that's how I'll lose my job on the first day.I try not to think about it too much because work drama is the absolute last thing I need as a new employee. Especially when it involves the billionaire CEO.Instead, I focus on the files on my desk because that's the reason I'm employed and not to daydream about a month-old sexual experience with my boss

Skylar’s POV For the first time in a long time, life is worth living again. I roll sideways on my bed happily because I know what this new day holds, and I can't be more excited. It feels like the first day of senior high, and you pray something extraordinary happens, like getting paired with the new hot transfer student with tattoos.My life is about to begin again and I really want to know what it has in store for me... this new world.My phone buzzes on the nightstand. I sluggishly open my eyes, snapping out of my thoughts. I reach for it lazily and immediately get assaulted by messages.Carrie (7:02 AM):WAKE UP CORPORATE BADDIECarrie (7:03 AM):FIRST DAY!!!Carrie (7:05 AM):If you’re still sleeping, I’m reporting you to your billionaire boss.Damn. Carrie really is my alarm.Another text from her pops up again.Carrie (7:07AM):Have the best day ever today.I text her back with a smile on my face. Skylar (7:09AM):I will, babe. Love you.Immediately I send the text, I sit up
Billion Dollar Illusion 007
Skylar’s POV I wake up the next morning to my phone vibrating like it has something urgent to confess. For a split second, I forget everything and even wonder what day it is. Then I remember Carter Ford and the phone call. Shit. I fucking used the "résumé" line that I saw on tiktok. My entire life apparently is changing because I kissed a stranger in an elevator. I sit up fast and curious and squint at my screen. Damn, I'm just waking up and my eyes hurt. FORD CORPORATION: OFFER LETTER & EMPLOYEE ONBOARDING The sleep disappears instantly. “No way,” I whisper. The email is sitting there in all its terrifying professionalism, official and very much real. I click it open and then I blink because not only is there an official acceptance letter attached… There’s also a fully drafted itinerary: Flight details, arrival time, pickup arrangements, housing confirmation and employee onboarding schedule. Everything ready. I stare at the screen. Did this man have his staff working ov
Billion Dollar Illusion 006
Skylar’s POVBy the time I get to the airport, my head is a mess. Not in a dramatic kind of way, just… noisy.The kind of noise that follows you after a man like Carter Ford looks you dead in the eyes over breakfast and offers you a future like he’s handing out coffee samples.It’s 3:30 p.m.My flight to Atlanta boards in less than thirty minutes, and I’m sitting near Gate 10 with my carry-on tucked between my legs and my phone balanced against my water bottle.Carrie’s face fills the screen immediately.Her curls are tied up in a bun, and she’s wearing one of my T-shirts that somehow looks better on her.“So,” she says, chewing on what looks like fries. “What exactly are you thinking about?”I blink at her. “Hello to you too.”“Hi,” she says quickly, waving one fry. “Now answer the question.”I sigh and glance around the terminal. A toddler is crying somewhere to my left and a man in a suit is arguing into his AirPods.“I don’t know,” I mutter. “It just feels… too fast.”Carrie raise
