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

Mrs. Juliet Jackson is in front of their home in the garden, watering her plants and flowers when she hears the sound of a car parking in their garage.She looks to see if her husband is the one returning. He had left after previously apologizing over the phone to his friend when they were seated together in their living room downstairs, telling his friend that he was truly sorry and would go to the company to see Liam right away about his actions.Mrs. Juliet knows her son is still finding it difficult to settle back in his homeland, as he already has a well-established business in the States.Liam stops walking toward their mansion and stares at the garden. He sees his mother watering the plants; she stops, hands over the watering can to one of their maids, and walks up to meet him."Good evening, Mom," Liam greets as his mother approaches and gives him a hug."Welcome, son. How was your day at the office?" Mrs. Juliet asks."It was fine, Mother. How was your day?" "Fine, son. Did

The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 138: Happy ending
Liam doesn't say anything as he stands watching the two friends reunite and forgive each other. They finally stand up, and Temisa walks over to see the twin babies in their little baby bed in the living room."Wow, they look so much like Liam, but my baby resembles me more than Alfred," Temisa says, while Anita only smiles at her."It's all good, girlfriend. I wish you both a happy married life, and I will be your bridesmaid on your wedding day," Temisa proposes, and Anita shakes her head."Flora already filled that position. You will only join the train.""Okay, dear. I have to be on my way now. You know I just darted out from the house as soon as Alfred told me about your babies and that you're here with Liam. Take good care of yourself, girlfriend, as you look slim," Temisa says, while Anita nods to her."I will. Let me escort you," Anita feels all the previous heaviness in her heart disappear, and she walks out of the mansion with Temisa.They walk to the garage where Temisa's car
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 137: Reuniting with her friend
Mrs. Tonia quickly greets Mrs. Juliet, "Good evening, ma'am.""Yes, welcome. Let's go in first," Mrs. Juliet ushers them into her living room. Just then, Mr. Taiye walks in too and sees the visitors, noticing Liam carefully carrying a baby in his arms. He recognizes the familiar lady as his son's secretary and immediately knows the babies are the result of the encounter they had in Liam's office."Good evening, Father," Liam happily greets his father. Mr. Taiye nods to all their greetings, while Anita nervously stares downward, feeling uncomfortable, remembering Mr. Taiye had warned her to stay clear of his son and never show her face in his company again."Mother, here are your grandkids," Liam walks over to meet his mother, who is sitting on the living room couch. He carefully places the baby boy in her arms, and Mrs. Juliet is still in shock as Liam never told her his secretary was pregnant or that he was bringing his babies home.Mr. Taiye is the most confused as he remembers he w
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 136: Bringing her home
"Are you married?" Liam finally asks, sounding hurt. Anita shakes her head and replies, "No.""Then how come the babies?" Liam asks as he finally saunters over to meet her. He has missed her so much, and he doesn't look himself because of her."Anita," Liam finally approaches her, and she turns to face him, and he sees she's crying."I'm sorry," Anita cries, and Liam crosses the thin line between them and hugs her warmly."It's okay. I've missed you. I do love you," Liam comforts her in a hug, hoping whoever got her pregnant or married her doesn't step in and catch him hugging his wife.Anita wants to pull away from Liam as she inhales his cologne, realizing she's crying into his chest, but Liam hugs her tighter and raises her chin to face him."Don't you miss me?" he asks, and Anita sniffs."I do," she replies."And you don't want to kiss me or welcome me?"Anita finally raises her head properly and looks up at Liam's face.He looks sick too, so unlike him, and his beard is overgrown
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 135: Found her 2
Anita doesn't say anything as she watches her mother dress up in a green gown while she breastfeeds her little daughter, who sucks a lot, wanting to drain the remaining energy she has left."I have to go out now and buy everything we will need to eat tonight. There's no food in the kitchen, and I don't want to disturb Mama and her in-law.""Okay, Mom."Anita watches her mother walk out of the room. She carefully places her little girl down and walks to her phone to see all the text messages Liam sent to her. Her heartbeat increases as she unlocks her phone screen.She sees a lot of texts from him and love emojis and she smiles, staggering backward to sit on her bed to read his texts."What happened to you? Your mom said you got discharged from the hospital. Are you alright now? Not to worry, I will be coming down to your village to see you. But why did you shut us all out? I have really missed you. Honestly, I cannot stop thinking about the love we made, and I'm glad your mom finally
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 134: Mother's scolding
Mrs. Tonia pulls away from the mother-to-daughter hug and stares at Anita's face."It's okay, stop crying. Why did you run away, and who did you sleep with?" Mrs. Tonia questions as she walks to look at her grandkids.She stares at the two cute babies who are also awake and staring at her. She gasps in surprise as she isn't mistaken—the babies look so much like Liam, the CEO of Benson Group. She stares back at Anita, who’s also looking at her, and then back at the twin babies in their baby bed."Anita, who got you pregnant?" Mrs. Tonia asks again while Alice finally walks over to hold her hand."We can discuss this at home. Let it rest while we leave the hospital first."Mrs. Tonia sighs and looks from Alice to Anita and back to her grandbabies.They're so cute and fair, and now she knows why the CEO has kept on asking her about Anita.So he's the one that got her daughter pregnant and slept with Anita the very day he delayed her at work and made her return home late.Mrs. Tonia tries
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 133: Found her
Anita wakes up that evening with a light headache. She sits up in her bed and eats the dinner Alice brought for her from home."How are you feeling now? You need to breastfeed your babies and not starve them," Alice says. Anita finally looks at them as her eyes clear, and seeing one of them crying, Alice speaks to her."She's a girl, while the calm one here is a boy." Alice hands over the baby girl to Anita, who stares at her beautiful daughter's face.Her baby girl looks so much like Liam; even though she's very fair like her, her baby's short curly hair and round cute face resemble Liam so much. Anita's heart skips a beat as she keeps staring at her baby instead of breastfeeding her."Why are you still staring at her? Give her your breast milk" Alice finally yells at Anita, snapping her out of her daze. Anita opens up her shirt and breastfeeds her baby.The little girl in her arms stops crying after a while as she sucks on her breast. As if the second baby is aware, he resumes cryin
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 132: Finally finds out
"I know," Liam replies and smiles back."But I still miss Anita and want to see her account," he says."Tell me the truth, boss. Do you just miss Anita, or are you in love with her and have a crush on her?" Temisa asks, and she sees Liam smile, which already answers her question."Just send me Anita's profile name. Let me search for her first.""Okay, I will," Temisa replies as she sits up properly."What about Alfred?" Liam finally asks her as he sees her sit up."He's not yet home. You know he runs the hotels and club too, cheating on me," Temisa pouts."He's not. He complains about you starving him," Liam tells her, and Temisa gasps."He said that? I know Alfred is so shameless," Temisa replies, and just then Alfred returns and walks into their room, as they both use one room together. Even though the room was his before she moved into his family house. His mother had insisted they must share a room together as a couple, and he clearly heard her call him a shameless man."Who are y
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 131: Mother's shock
The line goes still for a while."Which sister are you talking about?" Barrister Jude asks."Oh, I just remembered I have her number, as her husband's case is with me. Mrs. Tonia, of course. Don't you know your sister again?" Mr. Collins questions."Oh, you mean her daughter is in the village? Which one?""I don't know her name yet, but she's white and very fair. She just gave birth to twins, making your sister a grandmother now.""Oh! You mean Anita?" Barrister Jude asks."Is that her name? Well, I don't know. I'm just seeing her for the first time now. Let me contact your sister then. I forgot I recently got her number due to her husband's case."Mr. Collins quickly ends the call, not giving Barrister Jude any more chances to question him. He cannot believe the silly man didn't want to help his in-law because of some past silly stories. He had to pity Mrs. Tonia and helped her case as he used to admire her when she hadn't married Mr. Joshua."Hello," Mr. Collins stands outside the h
The Cold CEO's Woman CHAPTER 130: New babies
Liam stares downward, not wanting to meet Mrs. Tonia's angry gaze, as he suspects she knows about the night he made love to Anita, but probably doesn't know who exactly slept with her.Was that why Anita left? What's really going on? he wonders."Actually, ma'am, I heard from her friend that she's going through a lot, and I don't know if I can help, but perhaps that will make her return.""Help with what? Just leave!" Mrs. Tonia shuts her door on Liam, not giving him a chance to speak.Did Anita's boss force himself on her? Mrs. Tonia wonders as she walks back to her parlor.Staring at the man, she sees him as a calm person with good moral upbringing, but is he the one that slept with her daughter and also bit and sucked on Anita's neck?If only Anita had told her the truth before she left, she wouldn't be rude to him, but she cannot help it. She behaves rudely because she misses her daughter so much.Liam leaves the building and walks back to his car.He knows her mother suspects him
