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
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 27: Long time friend
Benita was always the center of attraction back then and had many admirers on campus. This prevented Anthony from having the privilege to court her.He liked her figure and how sexy and curvy her hips were. Furthermore, he knew that most people usually thought that all handsome guys and beautiful ladies in school were already in a relationship.Anthony thought the same about Benita, which is why he decided not to chase after her then. He still liked her now, so he quickly read her chat, "Hey, Anthony! What's up?"Benita had sent the chat message to him about 30 minutes ago.Anthony quickly replied, "I am fine."Anthony saw that Benita was online and still typing to him.He became curious to chat with her since he was now single and ready to mingle.He loved fair-complexioned women, as that was his preference.Another chat popped up from Benita. She said, "I'm in town today, so I decided to visit you at your company. It's been a long time since we saw each other, Anthony. I cannot wait
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 28: Parents' proposal again
Anthony sighed as the phone call didn't connect. He called Lerisa again and again, but even on the third attempt, she wasn't responding to his call."What's wrong? Why is Lerisa not picking up her phone?" Anthony wondered, considering that it might have to do with him telling Lerisa that he needed some time alone.Anthony sighed and decided to let it be. He was sure he would see her by Monday, or in church on Sunday, as he didn't want to visit her family house.He plugged his phone in to charge, exited his bedroom on the top floor, and went downstairs to the dining room to have dinner with his parents since the night had fallen.Mrs. Beatrice was glad to see that her only son wasn't looking sad like on previous days. She wondered why Lerisa hadn't visited their home since Monday and asked Anthony just as he settled into a dining chair across from her."Anthony, did you tell Lerisa not to come here again to visit us?"Anthony frowned a little at his mother's question, but his frown was
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 29: Anthony's queries
"Hello, Lerisa," Anthony's deep male voice fanned her left ear.It was already nighttime, almost 10 pm, and she wondered what had taken Anthony so long to call her back."Hi, good evening," Lerisa sounded somber, and as usual, Anthony noticed and asked, "What's wrong?""Nothing. I am fine, sir. Good evening," Lerisa quickly greeted Anthony."Sir, hahaha. What has come over you, Lerisa? Haven't I warned you to stop calling me 'sir'? When will you ever obey that?" Anthony asked, not sounding annoyed as he was in a good mood."I am sorry, but I am not comfortable calling you by your name," Lerisa nervously said."I know that you aren't comfortable speaking with me on the phone either. What's wrong with you? Are you angry with me because my parents were suggesting that we should get married? Don't mind them," Anthony said, but Lerisa remained quiet."Hello, are you there on the call?" Anthony asked. Lerisa replied, "Yeah, I am listening to you. I said I cannot call you by your name. We are
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 30: Another visit
"Good morning, Anthony. Why are you standing here by the gate? Come inside," Lerisa made way for Anthony to enter her father's compound.Anthony's eyes scanned Lerisa's body in her pink nightgown. He hadn't seen her wear any tight dress before, and seeing her in her nightgown, he loved the look of her body and gulped as he quickly averted his eyes to meet her gaze.He saw her blushing, a reverse of the sad woman he had spoken with on the phone the previous night."No, Lerisa. I'm through with my exercise, so I decided to come check on you. I have to be on my way home now; you know I cannot speak after having my breakfast with my mother," Anthony said, still staring intently at Lerisa's face."I know, but you should have said hello to my parents. Or no problem then, you can go." Lerisa frowned, and Anthony sighed, thinking his mother would be happy to hear that he went to see Lerisa and they were on good terms."Alright, let me come inside," Anthony stepped into the gate, and Lerisa shu
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 31: Thinking about his decision
Lerisa went into the house and retired to her bedroom while Martha went to the kitchen to continue washing the dirty teacups.After thinking about Anthony for a while, Lerisa sighed and went to take her bath. She had woken up late because it was Saturday.However, Anthony couldn't stop thinking about Lerisa as he walked home.He saw her ample bosom flashing through her light pink nightgown."Hmm," Anthony hummed.He stumbled upon two people on his way home, lost in his thoughts."I'm sorry," Anthony ended up apologizing to the passerby."Damn it! I should have just accepted Lerisa's offer to drop me home, but I cannot have her wearing her nightgown to follow me outside... That's not right. What if another man sees her in that gown? She looks more sexy at home than at work, or are my eyes deceiving me now? Shit!"Anthony was sweating after finishing the cold bottled water in his hand.He tossed the empty bottle into the nearest trash bin on his way home.Arriving home, Anthony went into
