MY CEO BESTIE AND ME Chapter 73
"How are you doing today?" Anthony inquired of Benita. The time was 6 pm when Anthony was through inspecting his house and he stood beside his sleek black car to know where Benita was."I am fine, I am at home. How was work today? I am sorry for not showing up at the company today," Benita said, sounding calm on the phone."It's alright. I understand your compliant. But that doesn't mean that you should be avoiding to call or you shouldn't request to see me. You can always come to the company to visit me if you want to," Anthony said, and Benita responded, "Okay. I will keep that in mind. Maybe by Friday, as I still would like to rest throughout this week, and until the weekend.""Hmm, so can we see? I want us to meet somewhere special. I am still processing all that you have said to me," Anthony said, and Benita replied, "Alright. Do you want to meet with me today?""Yes. Or are you not free for us to hang out? I want to show you something, and I am serious about the two of us getting

"Uhm, okay," After much hesitation, Lerisa finally accepted Emma's phone and input her phone number into the latest mobile she saw that Emma was using."I have saved my phone number into your phone. I have to go now," Lerisa said, standing up from her seat."Thank you, I will call you later. Take care of yourself," Emma replied, watching Lerisa step out of their table of two seats at the private section. Lerisa hoisted her handbag onto her shoulder and smiled at Emma as she finally left the car.Walking up to her car, Lerisa sighed as she got into her car and shut the car door behind her."Wow, so Remy truly wants to marry me. I never knew that he was so serious. Can someone marry a man that they don't really love? Does love truly grow with time in getting to know someone just like how I have gotten to know Anthony for all my life? Growing up and thinking that Anthony will marry me. Hmm," Lerisa had a frown on her face. She knew all along that Remy was serious about her, but she was st

"Nothing. I was just thinking that I hadn't expected you to purchase the house so quick. Are you truly serious about marrying me? Don't you think that it's too early for us to marry and settle down as a couple now?" Benita inquired once more, and Anthony could sense that she didn't want to marry him."What's wrong, babe? Don't you want to marry me?" Anthony asked finally. The look of hurt flashing in his eyes, and Benita quickly replied, "No. Don't get me wrong, Anthony. I was only thinking that we haven't dated for long for us to settle down quickly. I mean, we were supposed to still date for at least six months plus to determine if we can be compatible. I don't know if you are understanding what I mean."Anthony looked at Benita in disbelief. He sighed and looked away from her. His mother was right, no lady should pressure him into moving out of his parents' house and buying a house compulsorily for her."It's okay if you don't want to marry me. You can leave," Anthony said, turning

Anthony got home to his father's mansion, and it was already late at night. He saw his phone ringing. Taking out his phone and thinking that his mother was the one calling him, but when he stared at the caller's name and saw Benita's name on his phone screen, Anthony frowned and threw his phone back into his trouser side pocket.He shut his car door, which automatically locked, and walked up towards their mansion's facade to go into the house.Mr. Joshua Gregson was in the living room alongside his wife, who looked worried after contacting Anthony on the phone and hearing that he sounded dull.Mrs. Beatrice didn't believe that Anthony had not packed out. She thought he had evacuated their house without informing her first."What's the matter?" Mr. Joshua inquired. However, as Mrs. Beatrice wanted to reply, the sound of their television speaking in the living room and displaying the latest news interrupted. Anthony eventually approached the door, rang the bell, and entered the living ro

The following day, Benita arrived at L.H Group to Anthony in his office. She had simply forgotten that James had resumed working in L.H Group.James didn't take over Lerisa's office as Anthony's secretary. He was posted to the financial team to work with them, and there he learned about Benita's affairs with Anthony.James was disappointed to learn that Benita and Anthony were having an affair before she left. Most of the staff also didn't know why Benita left L.H Group.Some had thought maybe Anthony did something wrong to Benita or cheated on her, but none of the staff working in the accounting office could give an account of why Benita left.As Benita arrived at L.H Group, she hadn't thought of seeing James. She was stunned, so she quickly came up with a lie as James met her on the third floor."Benita, what are you doing here?" James asked. He wore a white shirt and black pants as he approached Benita.Benita wore a cream-colored short skirt and blue top, paired with her black purs

"Benita, you know that's not possible for me not to invite my parents if we decide to host the housewarming party. For now, I haven't informed them yet of the new house location. It's okay, when you're ready you can let me know," Anthony said. He was not happy to know that Benita was hesitant to marry him. She sat across from him and finally said, "Okay. I will be expecting your call to hear the date of the housewarming. But what car did you purchase for me?""Not to worry, when the day arrives you will see it. Or do you want me to fix the housewarming this weekend," Anthony said."No. Whenever you're ready too. I just want to see the car," Benita lied, looking hopefully at Anthony's face. He took out his phone and showed her the Range Rover Sport that he purchased for her.Benita leaped for joy and wanted to receive the car immediately. "Please, can you take me to see the car. I really do like it," Benita begged."No. Let me settle with everything first. Probably next weekend. I will

Lerisa met her mother as soon as she walked into the living room. "Good evening Mom," Lerisa greeted."Welcome, Lerisa. How was work today, and your friend, Remy?" Mrs. Antonia asked, as she was already familiar with Lerisa working with Remy and Remy also showing interest in Lerisa."It was fine, Mom. Remy invited me to attend his parents' wedding anniversary tomorrow," Lerisa said."Oh, that's nice. He's such a kind man, so when will he be coming here officially to marry you?" Mrs. Antonia questioned Lerisa as she was sitting on the living room couch alone, and already through with preparing their dinner."Mom...." Lerisa frowned. "I don't know yet," she added."You should. That's fine. I have already finished preparing dinner, I was just waiting for you and James to return home.""Okay, Mother. Let me go inside and freshen up. I will be back to join you," Lerisa said, and she quickly walked into the corridor and went to her room."Marriage? I don't think I can accept Remy. What's wro

Lerisa got out of her bed after James left her room, and she did not make any attempt to go and see Anthony.Walking into her bathroom, Lerisa decided to have her bath as she pulled off all her clothes and started taking her bath under the shower.James left Lerisa's room and went outside to inform Anthony that Lerisa was coming. Meanwhile, Mr. Fred was speaking to Anthony and invited him to join them inside the house for breakfast.Anthony had just finished exercising like he usually does on Saturday morning, so he was passing along Lerisa's family house and decided to say hi to her.Although Anthony was hesitant, knowing that Lerisa was avoiding him and had blocked him on all social platforms, he remembered her confession to him that she couldn't withstand seeing him with other ladies.Well, Anthony still missed his friendship.

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
