MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 39: Flower gift
Lerisa felt embarrassed by her mother's question. She replied, "No, Mother. Anthony didn't propose to me; it's a gift from a friend.""A friend? Who is this friend, Lerisa? I'm sure it's a man," Mrs. Antonia said, displeased to hear that another man, who wasn't Anthony, was already giving her daughter flowers."Mom, you don't know him." Lerisa winked at Martha, signaling her to stay silent as she walked into the living room, smiling.Lerisa wasn't ready to disclose to her parents that the man was Anthony's brother—the shameless guy who had an affair with his cousin's girlfriend."That's alright. Besides, Anthony hasn't proposed yet, so it's not a crime if another man is serious about you. But you should remind him of our culture and not just accept flowers from him. If he's serious, he should come and marry you first," Mrs. Antonia stated."Mom..." Lerisa frowned, meeting her mother's gaze. However, she replied, "Okay, Mom. I have to go inside now and freshen up.""That's fine," Mrs. A

Lerisa could have turned back and fled from Anthony's office. However, she was stupefied by the realization that she was secretly in love with Anthony, but he didn't care to love her back.She looked heartbroken, and Anthony, acting on impulse, immediately stood up from his office seat and walked out to meet her."Wait, Lerisa. What happened?" Anthony asked as he finally approached her by the door.Benita walked out from behind Anthony's desk, picking up her black handbag. She walked up to meet Anthony and Lerisa, and then she said, "We'll see each other tomorrow. Bye, babe."Lerisa turned to leave just as Benita shut the door, leaving her and Anthony alone. Benita knew that Lerisa also liked Anthony but wanted to test him to see if he would succumb to kissing her. She was happy he wanted to kiss her as much as she wanted to kiss him. However, she left the third floor, caring less about what Lerisa and Anthony were doing in his office, and went outside to her white car and drove home.

"I'm so sorry to hear about how you're feeling, but I'm not dating Ben. I haven't seen him in a while now. Why not report to his family that you're carrying his child? Maybe they can speak to him on your behalf," Lerisa suggested, advising the crying, pregnant young lady."Will they accept me? I am scared to go to his family's house," Emma cried out, while Lerisa sighed and comforted her, "You should try too. Ben can shout all he wants, but as long as you are pregnant with his child, his family will speak to him. But rest assured, I will never accept Ben.""Thank you," Emma said, as she thanked Lerisa and finally stood up from the white plastic chair that was across from Lerisa in the restaurant.She left the restaurant, while Lerisa's previous angry mood calmed after watching Emma quietly leave her view.Lerisa thought, "Why do people fall in love with the wrong person? May God direct my heart to fall in love with the right man."Lerisa finally paid for the Coke that she had drunk, st

Anthony stood speechless as he watched Lerisa walk away from him to her car and then zoom off. He sighed, turned, and went back to his car, not expecting Lerisa to be giving him cold shoulders after she caught him and Benita kissing.Anthony got into his car and asked himself, "What has come over Lerisa? She was not like this before. Hmm, anyway, let me go home first."When Anthony arrived home, he met his mother in the living room as he stepped inside. She asked him, "Anthony... How about Lerisa? Did you meet with her today after church service?"Anthony looked at his mother's face in silence, wanting to retreat to his bedroom upstairs."Yes, Mom. I met her after the closing hour," he said."Okay, I am just asking, as I didn't get to see her today. I hope you two are still getting along?""Sure, Mom. We do. I am tired now and need to go back to my room to rest," Anthony said, wanting to excuse himself from the living room."No problem, my son," Mrs. Beatrice didn't press on asking abo

Lerisa pulled her quilt open and lay on her bed to sleep. She said a short prayer and then shut her eyes.However, Anthony was stunned to see that Lerisa rejected his calls. He knew that she was mad at him, avoiding him, and behaving jealously."Hmm..." Anthony frowned."What has come over Lerisa? So she now rejects my calls too? What do I tell my mother if she eventually asks about Lerisa again?"Anthony's fist clenched. He wasn't pleased with the fact that Lerisa was beginning to change her behavior and avoid him."I cannot date Lerisa. What's she thinking? She's like my sister. I cannot. Well, if she wants to avoid me, good for her," Anthony affirmed.He went to plug his phone to charge, later lying on his bed, but he was still unable to sleep as he kept thinking about why he didn't want to date Lerisa."Does Lerisa want me to date her truly? Is that why she's also blushing and acting nervously with me?""Hmm..." Anthony could feel his body harden."This is not right," he said, tryi
Last Updated : 2024-03-03MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 44: New date
Anthony's previous anger softened as he liked Benita, and he had always wanted to date her. He wouldn't deny that he felt something special for Benita, so he decided to visit Lerisa later and explain that he liked her, but only as his sister, and they couldn't date."Sure, I would like to go for lunch. Let's go to the cafeteria now," Anthony said, buckling his previous anger and not giving Benita the chance to know why Lerisa had appeared in his office and disappeared.However, Benita stood up from the opposite guest seat across from Anthony and asked him, "I saw your secretary leaving your office just now. She bumped into me by the door and nodded my head too."Anthony gazed up at Benita's forehead and saw that she indeed had a red mark on her head, which wasn't there in the morning when he saw her arrive at her office."I am so sorry about that. Lerisa is not feeling well, so she won't be coming to the company for some time. That's why she was here, to let me know about her absence t

Lerisa quickly got out of her car and rushed up to meet Remy."What are you doing here?" she questioned him, hoping that none of her family members had seen him.However, she pulled Remy by his masculine right arm to drag him away to his car and order him to leave.Just then, Lerisa's family house gate was pushed open, and her mother stepped outside, staring at them in shock."Lerisa!!" Mrs. Antonia hadn't expected to see her first daughter holding a man by his arms outside their house gate.Had it gotten to the extent that Lerisa was so desperate, she would shamelessly hold onto a man in front of their gate and lose her family's dignity in public? Mrs. Antonia thought.Lerisa quickly let go of Remy, not expecting her mother to step outside. It was still afternoon, and the sun was hot. What was Remy doing around her father's house gate? Lerisa wondered, and who had told Remy her family house address?Lerisa had so many questions to ask Remy, but she quickly turned to face her mother an

Remy smiled and asked Lerisa, "Why are you so hard on me? I told you that I am serious about you. Please, give me some time."Lerisa frowned, remembering how Anthony had warned her not to date Remy. She stared at Remy's face, wanting him to leave. "Fine. I will think about your proposal, but I am not interested in you. I simply don't like you, and you can go on and look for another person to date.""Why don't you like me? Is Anthony the one advising you against dating me?" Remy asked, meeting Lerisa's gaze."No. It's not about Anthony. How do you expect me to date you after catching you and Clara kissing publicly by the roadside? I cannot possibly date you after witnessing that," Lerisa said. Remy drew closer to her and pleaded, "Haven't you been in a relationship before? I sincerely apologize for that day. Please, give me a chance or do you want me to kneel and beg you?""No. Don't even think about it. Fine, I will send you a final text message tonight to let you know my decision. But

MY CEO BESTIE AND ME CHAPTER 108: Anthony's visit and apology
Lerisa hadn't stepped out of her father's house since she started trending. She was ashamed and couldn't face Remy. She couldn't tell Remy why she had broken up with him.Hearing her mother's voice, Lerisa rushed out of the house as she heard her mother shouting at someone. However, as Lerisa walked out, she saw Anthony drenched, with water dripping down his body.Anthony wasn't annoyed. He didn't want to leave until he saw Lerisa."Mom! What have you done?" Lerisa shouted, shocked to see that her mother had actually baptized Anthony with a bucket of cold water. Mrs. Antonia hissed and went back into the house, not wanting to answer Lerisa's questions.Looking back at Anthony, Lerisa offered her apologies to him. She did not know that Remy had arrived earlier, but seeing Anthony wet, Lerisa offered to bring James's clothes for him to change into."See them, shameless people," Mrs. Antonia muttered from her kitchen window. She should have known that she could not change her daughter's d
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME CHAPTER 107: Wedding annulment
Lerisa looked at her father sadly and said, "Dad, you cannot tell the Creed family that it's because of Anthony that you want to call off the wedding.""Then what should I tell them?" Mr. Fred asked. "You went to Anthony's house and ended up sleeping on his bed.""Dad, I don't want Anthony and Remy to quarrel because of me. They're brothers and...""You should have been aware that they were brothers and not comfortably slept with Anthony unclothed on his bed. I don't want to discuss this matter again. Mr. Joshua and his wife are equally disappointed, as they know this would cause a rift in their family, especially since Mrs. Samara is Mrs. Beatrice's only sister. Your actions have caused a lot of problems, but it will be settled. You can go." Mr. Fred dismissed Lerisa. He did not believe his wife at first, but after visiting the Gregson home, Mr. Joshua told him personally that his wife had been in tears, blaming Anthony as the cause."Why did Anthony not admit his feelings sooner? He
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME CHAPTER 106: Avoiding Remy
Remy already noticed that Lerisa wasn't sounding like her usual self. However, he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with her. He donned a casual outfit, but he was still handsome and tall."Fine. If you say so, I will contact you tomorrow morning before going to work. Try to charge your phone, okay?" Remy said. As he looked at Lerisa's finger, where he had placed the engagement ring the previous day, he noticed that Lerisa had taken off the ring.He furrowed his brows and asked her, "Where's your engagement ring, Lerisa? Did you purposefully take it off? Where is it?"Remy suspected something fishy."I left it indoors," Lerisa tried to lie, but she wasn't good at lying as she spluttered."You left it indoors? Where? You know that you were not supposed to take this ring off. Fine, go inside and bring it, and you can wear it back. Right here in my presence," Remy insisted. He didn't know what was wrong with Lerisa. Just the previous night, he had called her, and she promised to call him b
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME CHAPTER 105: Seeing the mark
Mrs. Antonia frowned and accompanied James to Lerisa's room. Lerisa had cried herself to sleep on her bed. She was hungry and weak, but she didn't want to meet with anyone. She had also switched off her phone."Lerisa!" With a gentle knock on her daughter's room door, Mrs. Antonia called Lerisa. "Lerisa, are you in there?" Mrs. Antonia asked again, and Lerisa, feeling hungry, woke up.Lerisa pulled the door of her room open. Her mother and James gasped as they spotted her."Since when did you return?" Mrs. Antonia was the first to ask Lerisa, who looked sad, as did James."Not too long ago. Maybe after you and Dad left for church," Lerisa replied in a sad tone."What happened? Why do you sound sad?" Mrs. Antonia inquired. Lerisa shook her head and said, "Nothing, Mom. I am hungry."As Lerisa walked out of the corridor, Mrs. Antonia saw the red marks all over Lerisa's neck. She inquired, "Wait, Lerisa. What happened to you? Who beat you?"Mrs. Antonia rushed to examine her daughter's ne
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 104: Anthony's apology
"Please, Lerisa, I am sorry," Anthony tried to apologize to Lerisa after his mother left his bedroom with a grimace.Lerisa started crying on the bed as she realized what she had just done with Anthony."What am I going to explain to Remy now? Remy loves me too," Lerisa cried, still sitting on Anthony's bed."You will tell Remy the truth, that you cannot go ahead and marry him," Anthony replied, as he wanted to touch Lerisa's arms again, not equally satisfied with the previous night's events with her. However, Lerisa pushed his hands away."No! It's easy for you to say, but I cannot do it. I cannot face Remy. I have to go home now." Lerisa stepped down from the bed, and Anthony admired her physique.Anthony got down from the bed, fully unclothed. Seeing him in that state, Lerisa remembered all that had happened between them the previous night; she wanted more but knew she had Remy to deal with and, more likely, her family too.Lerisa shook her head and wanted to search the room for her
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 103. Their encounters
Anthony stood up from the tiled floor. He knew that it wasn't just him and Lerisa alone. Due to his silence and denial of his feelings for Lerisa, Remy had already engaged Lerisa, and now he was coming to break that bond. The media would become aware, and it would also cause a rift in their family.Lerisa sobbed, and Anthony hugged her closely, comforting her."I am sorry," he continued to apologize, and Lerisa knew that if she had to choose between Anthony and Remy, she would pick Anthony."I don't know what to tell Remy. I don't want to see you both fight because of me," Lerisa said as she turned her back to Anthony's chest.Anthony kissed Lerisa on the neck; he could no longer hold himself back. He had always restrained himself, but now that he had confessed his feelings to Lerisa, Anthony reached to undress her, and she didn't try to stop him. She wanted him badly and hadn't thought the day would come so soon.Lerisa held Anthony close, and they kissed as Anthony took her into his
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 102. In Anthony's bedroom
"How could you lie to me, Anthony? I have been in love with you all these years, and you lie to me that I am just like a sister to you." Lerisa was in tears, and Anthony's heart broke. He turned Lerisa to face him, but she pushed his hands off just as his hands touched her arms."Stay away from me! You cheated on me; you pretended not to be in love with me, breaking my heart further with all your lies. Yet you know the truth that we are destined to be together. Why are you denying that, Anthony? Do you feel scared that you would hurt me in the long run and feel another man deserves me?"Lerisa was in tears as she moved away from Anthony. Anthony stood speechless; he loved Lerisa, but he couldn't admit it to her. He had also felt she saw him as an older brother, and it was only recently when she confessed her feelings to him—that she had been in love with him and couldn't bear to see him with other women—that he knew he had wronged her dearly."I am sorry," Anthony said, but Lerisa move
MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 101. Dinner with Anthony
Lerisa sat down next to Anthony at the dining table, and the maid served them dinner.Anthony's eyes were still glued to Lerisa's face as he saw her frowning. She was going to marry his cousin, so he shouldn't be entertaining the thought of snatching Lerisa from Remy.Anthony finally asked Lerisa, "Do you like the meal, or do you want me to order something for you?"Lerisa didn't look up at Anthony's face. She stared at her plate, which contained jollof rice and fried turkey legs for dinner. She eventually replied to him, "It's okay. I can manage it."Mrs. Beatrice smiled understandingly at Lerisa, not interfering; she soon blessed their meal, and they started eating.After dinner, Anthony's mother called his father, and Anthony spoke to his father for a while.Lerisa knew that she had switched off her phone to avoid her parents. She couldn't face them, so she waited for Anthony to show her to the guest room to rest.Anthony's mother was exhausted, admiring her son's house. She wanted
