IT'S A JOB, NOT A RELATIONSHIP, MR. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 15: LIST CLUES AND MISSING DESIGNS
VICTOR’S POVI sat in my office, my mind heavy with the thoughts from my conversation with Isla last night. It had been a breakthrough and a disappointment all in one. On one hand, I felt a sense of relief—Isla had no idea about the true circumstances surrounding her father’s death, which meant that she was innocent in all of this. I could trust her completely. But on the other hand, that same ignorance meant I had lost an important lead. If even the victim’s daughter didn’t know anything, then how could I prove that my grandfather was innocent?The weight of this thought pressed down on me, and I could feel the frustration bubbling inside. I needed answers. I needed a way to uncover the truth. But the path ahead seemed increasingly uncertain.I picked up my phone, feeling the urgency rising within me. There was one person who might be able to help me think things through—Daniel. I dialed his number and, after two rings, he answered."Yeah?""I spoke with Isla last night," I said, my

ISLA’S POVMy heart pounded in my chest as I stared at the blank screen.No. No. No. This can't be happening.I clicked furiously, opening and closing folders, searching for my designs. They had to be here. I had spent countless nights perfecting them, making sure every detail was flawless.But now—there was nothing. The screen was empty.A wave of panic and disbelief washed over me. My fingers felt numb as I tried again, clicking through different directories, hoping—praying—that maybe I had saved them somewhere else by mistake.But no. The files were simply gone.For a moment, there was dead silence in the room.Then, the whispers began.Soft at first, like a distant hum. But soon, they grew louder, the judgment unmistakable in their voices."See? Emma was right. She confused the boss with her mediocrity.""I knew she wasn’t capable enough for this project.""What a waste of time."Their words cut deep, sharper than any blade.My breathing turned shallow, my chest tightening with hu

ISLA’S POVI sat at my desk, my mind racing with thoughts. How should I deal with this?My heart pounded as I tried to think through my options. Emma had stolen my designs. I knew it. I could feel it in my bones. But proving it? That was the real challenge.I had a few options.I could confront Emma directly—but no, she would never admit to it. She was too cunning for that, too careful. If I went to her without solid proof, she would twist the story and make me look like the villain.I could search her office in secret—but she wasn’t foolish enough to leave evidence in such an obvious place. Besides, if I got caught, it would only make things worse.I could give up on the proposal entirely—but no, that was impossible. This project was my dream. I had worked too hard to let it go to waste.And there was Victor.I could already imagine the disappointment in his eyes if I failed.Letting out a frustrated sigh, I leaned back in my chair. I can’t solve this on my own.Then, I thought of Da

ISLA’S POVDaniel asked me to recall the times when I wasn’t at my computer. He said it would help him find the corresponding surveillance footage more quickly. I thought about it carefully and realized that apart from getting off work, the only time I wasn’t at my desk was during lunch breaks.Hearing this, Daniel immediately got to work, pulling up the security footage for the past three days and checking them carefully, frame by frame.Minutes turned into an hour, and the office outside the security room was growing darker. I was beginning to lose hope when suddenly, Daniel's voice cut through the silence."I think I found something," he said, motioning for me to come closer.I rushed to his side, and my heart pounded as I stared at the screen. The footage showed a figure moving near my desk. My breath hitched when I saw who it was.Karen.I blinked, unable to believe my eyes. How could it be her?On the screen, Karen inserted a USB drive into my computer. She typed something, then

ISLA’S POVVictor’s questioning made me feel both angry and sad. Who did he think he was to question me like this? Did he really believe I had something to do with this mess? I was the one who had been locked up. I was the one who had been wronged. Shouldn’t I be the one demanding answers, not the other way around?I took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm of emotions swirling inside me. Getting angry wouldn’t help me right now. I needed to stay focused.Without saying another word, I turned around and walked out of the room. The hallway was already filling up as my colleagues arrived one after another. I could feel their eyes on me, their whispers floating in the air like tiny daggers aimed at my back. No doubt, they had already heard the rumors. Some might even believe them.But I didn’t care about their opinions. I had proof. And I was going to show Victor the truth.I reached into my pocket, pulled out my phone, and opened the surveillance video that Daniel and I had found th
최신 업데이트 : 2025-02-28IT'S A JOB, NOT A RELATIONSHIP, MR. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 20: UNSPOKEN FEELINGS
VICTOR’S POVI wasn’t sure why I called Daniel. It wasn’t as if I had something urgent to discuss with him. Maybe I just didn’t want to see him and Isla together.Ever since this whole situation with her design happened, she had been relying on him, asking for his help, confiding in him. And I hated that.It wasn’t like Daniel had done anything wrong—he was just being himself, the dependable and kind-hearted person he had always been. That was probably why he became a police officer in the first place. But no matter how much I tried to reason with myself, I couldn’t stop this uneasy feeling from growing inside me.Was I jealous?I pushed that thought away as Daniel walked into my office."Why were you with Isla last night?" I asked, trying to sound casual, as if it didn’t bother me.Daniel raised an eyebrow. "She asked for my help. Her file was deleted, and she suspected someone had done it on purpose. We checked the surveillance footage together."His explanation was straightforward,

ISLA'S POVI never imagined myself rejecting my boss. Maybe it was because of embarrassment or fear—perhaps both. The gap between us felt too vast, like an invisible wall separating our worlds. He was powerful, confident, and surrounded by people who thrived in his world of influence. I, on the other hand, was just an ordinary employee trying to survive in a corporate jungle.A part of me wondered if I had made the right decision. Did I reject him because I truly didn’t feel anything for him, or was I simply afraid of the consequences? His world was filled with scrutiny, expectations, and people who would judge me harshly. I wasn’t sure if I could handle that pressure.But the thought of accepting him scared me even more. What if I disappointed him? What if I wasn’t enough? I wasn’t sure if I was rejecting him for the right reasons or if I was just running away from something I didn’t understand.I shook my head, trying to push these thoughts aside. I needed to focus on work. I needed

ISLA'S POVThe sun had started to set by the time I left the hospital, casting a warm orange glow over the city. As I walked towards my apartment, my mind drifted to Daniel. He had been such a huge help to me when my designs were sabotaged, and I still owed him dinner as a thank-you.I smiled to myself and pulled out my phone. It had been a while since I spent time with someone who didn’t make my life feel like a battlefield. Daniel was different—easygoing, funny, and always making people around him feel comfortable.I scrolled through my contacts, found his number, and pressed call.He picked up after a few rings. "Well, well, if it isn’t Isla Morgan. To what do I owe this honor?"I laughed at his playful tone. "I owe you dinner, remember? You helped me out when my files were corrupted, and I never properly thanked you.""Ah, so you finally remembered my heroic efforts," he teased. "I was beginning to think you were just using me for my investigative skills."I rolled my eyes. "Danie

IT'S A JOB, NOT A RELATIONSHIP, MR. BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 132: A FUTURE TOGETHER
VICTOR'S POVI leaned back in the chair, staring out the window as the city stretched endlessly before me. My mind was cluttered, not with the chaos of the world outside but with thoughts of Sienna. The woman who had unexpectedly come into my life and made me see things from a perspective I never thought possible. She was beautiful, strong, and confident, and I couldn’t have been more grateful for her presence. But lately, I couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of unease—a feeling that things were shifting, and I needed to make sure we were both on the same page.Our relationship had been growing steadily, and we’d reached a point where we were living together. It felt like the natural next step for us. But as much as I loved her, there was something about the future that I hadn’t yet confronted. I had spent so much time building my career in the fashion industry, creating a name for myself, and handling the endless demands of clients, but I was starting to see that I couldn’t do it
IT'S A JOB, NOT A RELATIONSHIP, MR. BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 131: THE UNEXPECTED INVESTOR
NATHAN'S POVThe morning light broke through the glass windows of my restaurant, casting long shadows across the polished floors. The atmosphere was different now—calmer, more refined. I couldn’t help but stare at the space with a sense of pride. This was it—the culmination of everything I’d worked for, everything I’d fought to rebuild after the fire that nearly destroyed me. The grand opening had been a success beyond my expectations, and the momentum was building.New customers were coming in, the buzz around the restaurant was palpable, and I had a growing list of people eager to invest in the business. It was a far cry from the old days, when I could barely keep the place running. Now, I had international clients showing interest, and local influencers were raving about the food. It was almost surreal. If you had told me a year ago that I’d be in this position, I wouldn’t have believed it. But here I was, standing at the helm of a thriving restaurant, ready to take it to the next
IT'S A JOB, NOT A RELATIONSHIP, MR. BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 130: "FLAMES OF VICTORY"
NATHAN'S POVThere are few moments in life when everything feels exactly right—when every ounce of pain, sweat, and late nights comes together into something that makes you believe in yourself all over again. That was what my grand opening felt like.My new restaurant wasn’t just bigger. It wasn’t just more luxurious. It was me, reborn.The space gleamed with copper accents, ambient lights, and marble counters that caught the reflection of every glass raised in celebration. The open kitchen concept allowed guests to watch us in action, the aroma of seared herbs, sizzling garlic, and glazed duck drifting across the room. There were private dining rooms now, soundproofed for VIP guests, with curated wine lists and personal chefs. We even had a rooftop lounge with a skyline view that made you forget you were still in the city.I had poured my heart into every detail—from the hand-carved wooden sign that bore my name to the recipe cards we handed out like pieces of art. I hired a stronger
IT'S A JOB, NOT A RELATIONSHIP, MR. BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 129: "SHADOWS AT THE TOP"
ISLA'S POVI had always known Lucas wouldn't go down without a fight. But I never expected him to fight this dirty. Every morning I walked into the office now, I braced myself for the newest headline, whisper, or suspicious glance. My name had been dragged through boardroom gossip, backchannel emails, and anonymous memos. All fingers pointed at one person: Lucas.Ever since I helped Nathan, Lucas had made it his mission to tear me down. He couldn’t touch me directly—at least not in a way that would be obvious—but his games were relentless. Strategic leaks to the media. Internal rumors that I forged financial reports. Claims that I was emotionally compromised and prioritizing personal relationships over the company’s future. It was all carefully designed to paint me as a liability.But I wasn’t about to back down.At work, I held my head high, keeping my focus razor-sharp. If Lucas wanted a war, he’d get one. Only, I wouldn’t fight him the way he expected. He’d try to rattle me, make m
IT'S A JOB, NOT A RELATIONSHIP, MR. BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER128: "UNFINISHED PAGES"
NATHAN'S POV hadn’t planned on stopping by Isla’s apartment, but after another late night of overseeing the renovation of my new restaurant, something in me craved the familiarity of her presence. It had been a long few months since the fire. A long few months since everything blew up—literally and emotionally.She opened the door with a blanket over her shoulders, her eyes slightly puffy, like she hadn’t been sleeping well either. We didn’t say much at first. Sometimes silence was our safe space.The new restaurant was finally coming together.I stood in the middle of the main floor, tools still scattered, the scent of fresh paint still clinging to the air. It wasn't just a rebuild. This was something better—a new version of everything I wanted to be. A statement. A fresh start.But even as I stood there, admiring the polished countertops and the ambient lighting we tested last night, my mind wandered.Victor.Sienna.I didn’t hate him. I couldn’t. Victor was a good man, even if his
IT'S A JOB, NOT A RELATIONSHIP, MR. BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 127: WHEN LOVE FINDS A HOME
SIENNA'S POVI don’t know when exactly it happened—when Victor stopped being just the man Isla used to love and started becoming the man I couldn't stop thinking about.Maybe it was in the little moments—like our late-night phone calls, or how he’d drive across town just to bring me food when I had a long day. Maybe it was in the way he looked at me, as though I was the only thing in his world that made sense. Love didn’t hit me like a train. It came slowly, gently, until suddenly I couldn’t imagine my life without Victor in it.I still remember the way he asked me to move in with him. We were sitting on his couch, legs tangled together under a throw blanket, watching an old rom-com. I had just made a snarky comment about how unrealistic the couple in the movie was, when he turned to me, his voice calm but deliberate."What if we tried it?"I looked at him, confused. "Tried what?""Living together. You and me."My heart skipped a beat.He smiled when he saw the look on my face. "I kn
IT'S A JOB, NOT A RELATIONSHIP, MR. BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 126 TITLE: "SMOKE AND SECRETS"
SIENNA'S POVWhen Nathan told me about the fire in his restaurant, my heart dropped. The words came out casually—like it was just another rough day—but I could feel the weight behind them. I stared at him, waiting for him to say it was a joke or maybe an exaggeration. He didn’t.“Wait—what?” I asked, almost breathless. “Your restaurant… it burned down?”He gave me a quiet nod, eyes slightly distant, as if replaying the moment in his head. “Last night. Caught me off guard.”I stood frozen in his living room, my fingers tightening around the edge of my phone. “Oh my God, Nathan. Are you okay?”“I’m fine. Just… pissed.” He rubbed his hand through his hair. “Everything was gone. Tables. Kitchen. Décor. Even the cash register melted.”I moved to sit beside him on the couch. “Do you know what caused it?”Nathan’s jaw clenched. “I’m sure it was Lucas.”The name sent a wave of anger through meeven though I don't even know who he hisNathan then told me how he had been making him and Isla liv
IT'S A JOB, NOT A RELATIONSHIP, MR. BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 125: FEELINGS, FLAMES, AND FRIENDS
SIENNA’S POVI’ve always liked having things figured out. Plans. Boundaries. No room for surprises.But lately, Victor has been nothing but a surprise.He asked me out yesterday.And the strange part? I wasn’t shocked.Not because I saw it coming, but because deep down—if I’m being completely honest with myself—I’d been waiting for it. Hoping for it, maybe. Even if I didn’t want to admit it.There’s been this… spark between us. A silent pull. We dance around it every time we talk. We laugh too much, our conversations last too long, and we look at each other just a second too slowly.There were never any secret feelings. No big, buried truth. Just a growing, electric sort of chemistry I kept ignoring.Until I couldn’t.Until he asked me out.And I should’ve told him before he did. I should’ve said, Hey, this thing between us? It’s not just you. I feel it too.But I didn’t.And now he’s launched the idea of us, and I’m floating somewhere between giddy and terrified.Because I like him.
IT'S A JOB, NOT A RELATIONSHIP, MR. BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 124: A PROPER KIND OF TROUBLE
VICTOR’S POVThere were exactly three things I was good at: solving problems, handling pressure, and pretending like I wasn’t slowly falling for Sienna Collins.The last one? Not going so well lately.She had this habit of showing up in my head at random times—during meetings, workouts, even while I brushed my teeth. I’d hear something funny and instantly think, Sienna would laugh at this, or smell something that reminded me of the cinnamon scent she always carried, like she rolled in fresh bakery air every morning.It was annoying.And addictive.We hadn’t called it anything—whatever this was between us. We hadn’t kissed. We hadn’t confessed anything. But the tension? It was there. Palpable. Thick enough to stir with a spoon.So I did the only reasonable thing a grown man with mildly obsessive thoughts could do.I planned a date.A real one. With no interruptions, Just her. And me.And possibly a small romantic ambush.---I picked the spot carefully. A rooftop garden restaurant in
