The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 20: Temisa's rejection
"Stop it, Anita. What nonsense about a mother-in-law are you talking about? I don't think I am even going to accept the marriage proposal anymore. Imagine that I am trying to fit into the company's requirements; now I will have to fit into his mother's requirements too. What for?" Temisa questioned, and Anita swallowed."I don't know. Maybe that's how their family wants it," Anita responded calmly, seeing that Temisa was already upset and flaring up."I don't care what their family wants. I cannot go into depression because of marriage. When I see him and he asks me out, I will plainly tell him I am not interested, and that settles all this rubbish," Temisa fumed."Is that okay, girlfriend? You don't need to be angry about him. Besides, you're not even sure if he's the one who wants the marriage or if it's his parents. My mom says he's probably a jealous person and doesn't like women looking overly attractive to prevent admirers.""Hmph, I'm just waiting for Monday to arrive. He's not
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 21: Brother's advice
Temisa doesn't turn to face her brother either, as she has always known he will blame her first."Here's your food, and please eat it. We love you and want the best for you, okay? Goodnight," Martin says to her. He walks out of her room, closing the door, and Temisa walks over to open the food to check it.Seeing it is another meal, not the one she half-chopped, she grits her teeth and decides to eat it first as she is very hungry.She carries the food, walks back to her bed, sits on it, and starts eating.Martin walks out of Temisa's room and meets Felicia, still standing behind the door."You're still here?" Martin asks her, and Felicia doesn't look up at his face as she responds, "I just want to be sure she's alright."Martin takes a closer step towards Felicia while she shifts backward, wanting to keep a distance between them, and she collides with the wall behind her. This makes Martin smile, and he walks away, going back to his room."She's fine, Felicia; go to your room and slee
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 22: New advice
As they get up to the third floor, most of the staff working there are already in their open glass offices. Anita admires the beautiful setting of the offices in open view.She follows the security guard until he stops in front of another glass office, where she sees some of the female staff staring at her, probably wondering if she's a client.The security guard steps into the glass office first, and she assumes the young man standing is Joel Gregory, whom she was asked to see."Sir, she's here to see you," the security guard informs Joel, who's dusting his seat and wanting to settle down as he just arrived."Name?" Joel asks the security guard."Your name, ma'am?" the security guard throws the question to Anita, who was previously staring around."Anita Baker," Anita replies."Oh! And you're?" Joel asks, feeling a bit familiar with her name."May I come in?" Anita asks him."Of course, come in." Joel offers her a faint smile as he finally settles down in his seat and gestures to her,
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 23: The jealous secretary
"Good morning, Raymond," Margret greets him in a seductive voice as she walks in, and Raymond turns to stare at her."One more report about you, and you're fired!" he says to Margret and walks away, not responding to her greeting.Margret grits her teeth, and her eyes meet Anita's, who is settling into her new seat across from her, as they're to share a single desk.Margret glances backward at Bambam Davis's office, where Bambam has a cute smile on her face and winks at Margret, even though she's busy attending to a client. Bambam knows Margret hates to see any beautiful lady since Margret is the fairest on the third floor and closest to their boss.Bambam also likes their boss, but the jealous man isn't even noticing her presence. Margret is the only one who has a chance to get closer to him and his assistant, Brown.Bambam is surprised Joel has gotten an assistant for Margret, as they all assume the new boss hates women due to his cold and unfulfilling nature.Margret finally walks b
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 24: Liam's shock
Time for lunch. Anita hears the company's alarm buzzer go off, and she stares at Margret, who has been busy doing all the work alone without requesting her help."Sorry, but what's that sound about?" Anita asks Margret as she sees a few staff and other male workers on the third floor coming out of their glass offices and walking to the elevator.Margret ignores her as if she didn't hear her speak."Hello?" Anita asks again with a slight frown."Can't you see I'm busy?!" Margret replies coldly, and Anita shakes her head and looks downward.Margret finally murmurs and stands up to go out and eat, as she's very hungry, without giving Anita any response.Anita sighs after Margret leaves her, and she continues to sit even as most of the staff on the third floor exit, heading to the elevator that takes them down. She wonders if this is probably their break time, and just then Joel walks up to her."Hi, pretty," Joel says as he pushes the office door open and peeks in."Aren't you going downs
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 25: The CEO's request
Anita is speechless as the call ends. She heard the CEO's previous order to instruct Margret to get him fried rice and a drink from the cafeteria, and hearing the buzzer sound again, she knows lunchtime will soon be over.Anita stands up from her seat and quickly walks out of the open glass office she shares with Margret, feeling all the prying eyes on her on the third floor, scanning her as she makes her way to the elevator.As she's about to enter the elevator, she collides with Joel, who's returning to the third floor."Oh, sorry," Anita apologizes to him, but Joel smiles sweetly at her."Going somewhere?" he asks, and she steps out of the elevator as more staff working on the third floor make their way out of the elevator."Yes, where's the cafeteria?" Anita asks him in response, and he replies, "Second floor beneath. Ask the guards once you get there. I thought you said you came with your lunch." Joel asks as he stares at her pretty, cute face."Yes, the boss actually sent me—I me
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 26: Jealous secretary 3
Anita smiled sweetly as she quickly made her way toward the boss's office. Margret furrowed her brows at her as she watched her step into the only corridor leading to the boss's office.Margret wanted to stand up and call Anita back or question her ("Where does she think she's going?"), but she couldn't create a scene and was more likely to leave their client waiting to scold a staff member like her.Margret breathed heavily as she stared back at Miss Oyinda, who was looking at her."Who's that pretty young woman I just saw? Sorry if I am interfering; does she work here?" Miss Oyinda asked, feeling uncomfortable after seeing any pretty woman."Yes, she's my assistant," Margret managed to reply, forcing her response out."Your assistant? How can you allow such a beauty to work here?" Miss Oyinda asked, not realizing how the question slipped out of her mouth.Definitely, in her father's company, there were only men working for her, and the company mainly produced drinks and alcoholic win
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 27: Hectic day
Anita let out a sigh of relief as she watched her boss leave the third floor and step into the elevator that would take him down.Her day had really been hectic, from the delay at the entrance to Joel informing her that they had actually employed all the reputable staff needed, and now she was to manage the position as the assistant secretary to the humiliating secretary she had to work with, who was visibly jealous of her—much like her own sisters.Anita wondered if it had become a crime for a lady to be beautiful or fair like her.She wasn't just fair like the regular fair-looking ladies; she was actually white and sparkling bright, almost like an albino, but she wasn’t one.She shook her head sadly while eating her jollof rice. After finishing, she closed her flask and packed it into her handbag.Since Margret didn’t want to show her what to do, Anita stood up and walked toward Joel’s office to see him.She noticed that whenever she stepped out, the rest of the staff working on the
