Mrs. Antonia laughed first and replied, "No, Anthony. I wasn't like that. Although, you know, in my time, your father and I didn't have time to date as we just met through our parents who arranged it. It wasn't like we were dating. We got married, and although I didn't move in quickly to live with your father, his love and care were enough for me to be comfortable.""Hmm," Anthony was speechless. He took the bottled water from the dining table and drank it to calm his nerves. He said, "Dad is just lucky to have you. I am also lucky to have you as my mother.""That's alright, son. I wish I was able to get pregnant and birth to more siblings for you. At least, you wouldn't feel too alone.""I am not alone, Mom, as long as I have you here with me," Anthony replied, which made Mrs. Beatrice relieved.She asked Anthony, "How about Lerisa? Have you called her yet to know where she went to? I heard her sister say that she wasn't feeling fine, which is why she left here early.""I also noticed

Lerisa looked at Martha in surprise, and she shook her head and replied, "How do I admit to Anthony that I love him? Isn't a man supposed to take the lead first? Anthony may look nice and calm to us, but he's very mean and difficult at times in the office, and I am very afraid to tell him that I love him. That would seem like I am desperate. Or don't you think so?" Lerisa looked at Martha's face in hope, as Martha gave her response a thought."I don't know, but I think that Anthony likes you, and maybe if you open up your feelings to him, he will reciprocate it and love you too.""No. I am not going to beg a man to love me first. It's not appropriate. Let me just wait for Anthony to fall in love with me first, and if he doesn't, then I will move on with my life. We mustn't date, and maybe, we aren't destined to be together, just how our parents want it, and I also admire him too."Martha sighed, "It's well, sister, I'm already tired now. Let us go back to our rooms to rest, and maybe l
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 21 - Sending Lerisa away
Anthony approached his sitting room door and pulled it open, and he saw Lerisa standing there, looking beautiful in her long brown gown. The gown hid all her shape and her big boobs that Anthony had seen the previous morning at her home when he went to visit her family to see if she was alright. Lerisa smiled sweetly at Anthony, unable to explain what had brought her to his family house instead of just sending her regards through his mother. She smiled at Anthony again and greeted him, "Good morning." "Good afternoon, Lerisa. Why are you here?" Anthony asked, staring intently at her face and wondering why she looked so happy, unlike the previous night and days when she had a sad look on her face. Her face had also been red like a tomato then. "I came to see you and to apologize for leaving your birthday celebration early yesterday. I wasn't myself, so I had to go home and rest," Lerisa said, and Anthony finally made way for her to come into his sitting room. He asked her, "Did my
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 22: - Mother's proposal again.
Lerisa nervously greeted Anthony's father, "Good afternoon, sir." "Welcome, Lerisa. How are your parents at home?" Mr. Joshua asked, and Lerisa replied, "Fine, sir." "Hmm," Mr. Joshua hummed as he settled into a dining chair beside his wife. Lerisa saw that the time was already after 1 PM, and she really wanted to leave Anthony's family house, if not for Anthony's mother asking her to join them for lunch. She wasn't expecting the whole family to have lunch together. It had been a long time since she joined Anthony and his family for a meal. Lerisa stared downward in embarrassment as she saw Anthony at the stairs. She knew he never used to disrespect his parents, even though their requests weren't always what he wanted. Anthony looked at Lerisa silently and then stepped downstairs into the living room before walking up to the dining table to join her for lunch. Lerisa was nervous as Anthony sat beside her at the dining table. She wondered if he was the same man who had been so co
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 23: Meeting his cousin
Remy looked at Anthony and responded, "There's nothing to be sorry about."Remy was wearing a white top and blue jean shorts, while Anthony had on a yellow long-sleeve shirt and black pants.Remy remembered the young lady he admired so much—Lerisa, as Ben had mentioned her name. She felt a pang of jealousy thinking about Anthony being with Clara."How about Lerisa?" Remy asked. "I saw her at your birthday celebration yesterday. She caught Clara, or April—whatever her name is—kissing me yesterday morning, and I want to apologize to her. I was embarrassed to see her at your birthday. Where does she live? Can I have her mobile number? I really like her and want to marry her." Remy finally looked at Anthony, dismissing his butler.Anthony frowned and replied, "You cannot date Lerisa.""Why? Are you involved with her?" Remy asked, his tone direct.Anthony glared at Remy. "What do you mean by that? She's like a sister to me and a family friend. I am not involved with her.""So, why are you b
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 24: Almost broke down
Lerisa walked into the living room and found her younger sister and mother engrossed in a lovely movie on the television screen that Sunday afternoon.She greeted her mother and subtly made her way toward the corridor leading to her room, but her mother called her back, "Lerisa, wait... Where have you been?"Lerisa paused at the entrance and heard Martha reply to their mother, "Mom, where else could she be? If not to see her lover, Anthony."Martha smiled, teasing Lerisa, but instead of smiling at the mention of Anthony's name, Lerisa glared at her younger sister.Mrs. Antonia noticed her first daughter's unhappiness at the mention of Anthony and remembered the failed engagement. She asked Lerisa, "What's wrong, dear?"Lerisa sighed and replied, "Nothing, Mom. I went to Anthony's family house after church to see him, but that doesn’t mean Martha should call him 'my lover' again. Anthony has made it clear to his parents that he can never marry me after they suggested courting me. I feel
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 25: Restless feelings
Anthony arrived home that evening, unable to shake off thoughts about whether Lerisa truly liked him. He sighed and made his way into the mansion after parking his car in the garage.Mrs. Beatrice was unhappy with how Anthony had rejected Lerisa. She decided not to bring up anything related to Lerisa again, accepting in her mind, 'Maybe Anthony and Lerisa weren't meant to be.'Anthony walked into the living room and found his parents seated in the dining room. He greeted them, "Good evening, Mom and Dad," and walked toward the dining room to join them for dinner.Mr. Joshua wore a calm expression, while his wife, Mrs. Beatrice still frowned, recalling how unhappy Lerisa had looked when she left their house that afternoon.Anthony pulled out a chair and sat down at the dining table as Sandra served them soup and locally made fufu for their supper.He remained silent, washing his hands in the bowl of water that Sandra had placed on the table. After his mother blessed the meal, they began
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 26: Meeting the new staff
Lerisa smiled faintly at Mark. She told him, "I know that we are friends, but I'm just trying to put some respect between us."Mark smiled and replied, "It's okay, Lerisa. I understand. But that reminds me, the boss called me earlier today and informed me that he wouldn't be in the office throughout this week.""Oh! Really?" Lerisa looked surprised that Anthony hadn't called her but had called Mark."Yes. Didn't the boss call you too? I know you both are close, so you might be aware. Or haven't you called him yet to find out why he isn't in the office today?"Lerisa's cheeks flushed red. She replied, "I forgot to...""That's fine. I know you hold the boss dear in your heart. Kindly take care of yourself and goodbye."After seeing Anthony holding onto Lerisa's arm closely the previous day in the office, Mark had already concluded in his mind that Anthony and Lerisa had gone intimate and were friends with benefits.He decided not to push further to ask Lerisa out, knowing she wouldn't ac
