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

"Oh, that's his name; I didn't even know his name, but I saw him today too," Anita responded."Really? What does he look like? I was hoping to see him when we closed, but before I stepped out, his father said he had already gone back home.""Yeah, I saw him with an elderly man at the garage, at the restricted area at the back of the company building. Was that his father? The man looked short, and I never suspected him to be his father," Anita replied."Yes, he's short. How about the CEO? Is he tall?" Temisa asked in a panic."Yeah, although I don't really know. At first, I saw him sitting, and he sent me to ask his secretary to buy him lunch, but his secretary hates me and didn’t even want to show me what to do today in the office. I'm really stressed and don’t know if I will go to work there tomorrow," Anita replied sadly."Why? Don't mind that stupid secretary; she might just be jealous because you're cuter than she is. You know you're very pretty, so maybe she's just envious. Why no

He gives her a hug and subtly kisses her cheek. Just then, Liam, who's coming downstairs, sighs as he descends the stairs to join his parents for dinner before retiring for the night.Liam isn't surprised by his parents' lovey-dovey nature in front of him. He knows his father loves his mother dearly; for this reason, despite his vast wealth, he still sticks with his wife, who bore only him, despite all her miscarriages."Welcome back, Dad," Liam says as he reaches the bottom of the stairs, announcing his presence in the living room.He silently hopes he can find a bride like his mother—a calm and understanding woman who knows him even when he isn’t ta

Anita stepped out of the room she shared with Glory and walked back to the dining room where their mother was still crying and seated on the couch in the living room.Anita stared at her mother and sighed as she walked to meet her.Her sisters were already sitting at the dining table, waiting for her and their mother.The living room was gravely silent, with only the sound of the ceiling fan rotating quickly heard."Mom," Anita said, crouching down beside her mother."Mom," Anita called again, and Mrs. Tonia sighed and stood up."I don't know how your father got himself involved in a fraudulent case. How could he? Now the police have refused to let me see him," Mrs. Tonia complained.Anita sighed. "Mom, I believe they will find the real scammers. The officers I met told me that Dad released some confidential information to a colleague who absconded with all the money, and until they trace the real perpetrator, Dad can’t be released.""Why would he get involved? I'm not happy about this
