“...and as you can see, the crisis cost the company a whole lot. Several clients and investors pulled out, and we're barely hanging on to nine figures in terms of our finances.” Skylar explained as she gestured at several parts of the digital graph she'd pulled up on the screen. “In this case...”“This is irrelevant.” Luca cut her off, his heated gaze searing into her. “Are you doubting the influence of Knight Corporations, Miss Simpson? Everything is going to be sorted out when the market realizes that Lancaster Innovations is now under Knight Corporations.”Bristling at being so rudely interrupted, Skylar forced a smile on her face. “Or it could tank the confidence people have in Knight Corporations. That very much is possible. In this situation, over-confidence is not the solution, Mr. Knight. We both know how well that served you three years ago.”The room fell quite, tension thrumming through the air. Skylar saw the look of shock and intrigue in the eyes of the three executives at
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •71•What A Date Shouldn't Be
“What the fuck was that, dude? That was uncalled for!” Caleb immediately jumped on Luca's case as soon as they were alone in the latter's office. Ignoring his best friend, Luca stormed over to the mini bar cabinet on side of his office, pulling out a half empty bottle of whiskey. Grabbing a whiskey glass, he filled it to the brim and downed the stiff alcohol in just one gulp, feeling it burn his throat and his eyes.He was furious, and his blood rushed through his veins with an emotion he hadn't felt so fiercely in three years. He was fucking jealous.Seeing Skylar's hand wrapped around that guy's elbow, no matter how chastely, had drove him right against the wall especially when the bastard had mentioned that they were going on a date. It'd taken every ounce of restraint within himself to not sweep her off her feet, throw her over his fucking shoulder, take her to his office, and lock the fucking door so she couldn't go anywhere with guy.He poured himself another glass of whiskey an

Skylar's first instinct was to lie, but it quickly occured to her that if she tells Alex that Austin is someone else's child, it would only go on to confirm what Luca said about her jumping form man to man.Picking up her glass of wine, she took a sip to stall for time, but she knew that she would eventually have to pay the piper. "Yes. Austin is Luca's son."Alex just stared at her for several unnerving seconds, until his jaw suddenly clenched, a muscle ticking furiously in it. For the first time tonight, Skylar saw something like an accusation shimmering in his sea blue orbs."You told me Austin's father was not in the picture. You lied to me." He said cooly, and she could see he was keeping himself from saying something he might regret.She hated the look of disappointment in his eyes, but before she could say anything, the tension eased from his expression morphing into a look of realization."Unless... Does he know Austin's his son?"Almost instantly, Skylar felt her defences flar
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •73•How Could She
Skylar swallowed hard, fighting the panic that pulled at the fringes of her control and the feeling in her chest that told her that the secret she'd been guarding so well from him was on it's way to being exposed soon.“You have a son?” Luca repeated in a voice that spoke volumes of denial.Why the hell did he follow her after she rushed out anyway? To torture her some more? She got her answer when she noticed her purse in his hand. Ignoring the demanding look in his eyes, she immediately snatched it out of his hand and zoomed past him, praying he wouldn't follow. He didn't. Apparently, he'd been stunned into inaction by the news of her having a son.Her heart skipped a beat. One second had just changed everything. Now that he knew she had a son, she had no doubt he was going to be investigating and asking questions. Would he put the clues together to realize that Austin's his son or will he continue to let himself be influenced by his belief that she cheated on him?Skylar quickly sh

“So what you're saying is that, you only found out Miss Simpson was five months pregnant after she'd worked for three months in the company?” Creasing his brows, Luca glared at the HR director like she was the reason for the dilemma he found himself in.“Exactly, Sir.” The blonde woman nodded enthusiastically. “She didn't take her leave, though, until she was in the last month of her pregnancy. After she gave birth, she kept on working from home and returned six months after her child was born. A few months later, she was promoted to CFO.”“I see.” Luca pursed his lips, wondering how to bring his next question out without sounding like he had a personal interest in it. “Did she receive visits regularly from males while she was pregnant or afterwards? The father of her child maybe?”Biting her lip, the HR director shook her head, but he eyes looked intrigued. “Not that I'm aware of, sir. I don't think so either. Dare I say, but the subject regarding the father of her son has always been
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •75•Shattered
Skylar's blood was thundering through her ears so loudly that she would be surprised if Luca didn't hear it. And he probably did, judging from the look of bemusement on his face as he stared at her, the grimly set line of his lips and his ticking zygomaticus demanding an answer.After living through an anxiety-filled weekend, running over several scenarios on how she would tell him and how he would react, the time was finally here. It was inevitable now. She had to tell him the truth, and she was going to. She'd leave it to him to believe her or not.But before the words could come out of her mouth, the dark glint in Luca's eyes shoved them right back into her throat.“He isn't my son then.” He said matter-of-factly, obviously taking her hesitation for a no. He chuckled, and her pulse raced when he spoke. “I mean, how could I have thought for a second that he's mine? Like you wouldn't have told me before.”“Luca...” Skylar said softly, wishing he would just listen to her, but he immedi
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •76•Don't Let It Stop You
Two hours later, Luca was pacing the floor like a caged animal in front of sixteen board of directors who were regarding him with varying degrees of curiosity, impatience, and outright annoyance. The meeting should've began fifteen minutes ago, but Skylar wasn't here yet. Even though one of the men had suggested that they could go on with the meeting and update Skylar later, Luca had insisted that they wait for her. She would be here soon. She had to be.“With all due respect, Mr. Knight,” One of the executives began to say, impatience dripping from his tone. “It doesn't appear like Miss Simpson is going to be here any time soon. She's not even picking up her phone. I believe we should begin the meeting already because...”“We'll wait!” Luca insisted sternly, silencing the man and making a hush fall on the room.Back to pacing, he dialed her number for the seventh time, and like the first six times, it dialed until it went to voicemail, and his head raced with thoughts. Why wasn't she
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •77•Three Years Too Late
Skylar furiously leafed through the document that'd been brought to her by the controller, very aware that most of the information provided and the data depicted by the various lines and arcs of the graphs and pie charts, were flying right over her head.No matter how she tried to command her brain, it seemed intent on sending her back to an hour ago. Her confrontation with Luca, his mediocre apology, and what he'd said regarding how he hadn't been able to sleep with any woman since they broke up. Huffing, she felt her indignation surge anew. Had he actually expected her to believe that nonsense? To swallow it hook, line and sinker like an idiot?Was he trying to tell her he had erectile dysfunction or what? As if she could ever mistake the indubitable jut of his erection everytime he pressed himself against her, his wicked tongue doing dubious things to her own and...Shaking her head immediately, she scowled at a certain pie chart on the page she was currently on, especially when sh
