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
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 28: Thinking about his decision
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 29: Discussing with her friend
"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
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 30: Father's information
Mr. Taiye gets back home, and his driver parks their car in the mansion's garage while he steps out and walks toward their mansion. As he steps into the living room downstairs, he finds his wife arranging the dining table with the help of her maid."Welcome back, honey," Mrs. Juliet says as she walks away from the dining room to meet him. 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
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 31: Mother's tears
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
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 32: Arriving late at work
Arriving at the Benson Group of Companies, it’s already 7:45 a.m.Anita rushes to the entrance gate, where most of the employees have already gone inside."You arrived late today, madam," says Solomon Matt, the assistant head guard in charge at the gate. Anita smiles faintly at him."Not yet 8 a.m.," she responds as she quickly writes down the time she arrived at the company gate and steps in.Anita quickly walks toward the building, and the surroundings are calm as she approaches.Entering the ground floor of the company, she sees primarily security personnel and new distributors interested in partnering with the Benson Group, waiting for the receptionist to start serving them, as the company has not yet begun its day’s work.Further, Anita feels the piercing gaze of the clients burning on her as she makes her way toward the elevator going upstairs to the third floor.She knows her oversized gown is attracting all the attention, but she cares less about what people and onlookers say a
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 33: In the elevator with the boss
Liam stood by the elevator door as he saw Anita approaching. He decided to wait for her before pressing the button to close the door.Anita walked up to the elevator and stared at him, confused."Are you going downstairs for lunch too?" he asked her in his husky, masculine voice. Anita swallowed and struggled to find words to reply."Yes, sir," she stammered."Step in," he commanded, and Raymond moved aside as other staff using the second elevator arrived. They stepped out and stared in shock at the CEO talking to the most beautiful young woman on the third floor.Joel stepped out of his glass office, intending to go downstairs for lunch as well. He saw Anita walking into the elevator, and the CEO was already inside, making him furrow his brows. They didn't even wait for him to approach as the elevator door closed, leaving Anita nervously standing beside the tall, handsome CEO.Anita felt extremely nervous; after all, the cold man was her boss.His masculine scent forced its way into h
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 34: Unable to eat
"You heard the buzzer sound just now. Eat quickly; let's leave," Temisa says to Anita as she finishes her meal and sips her bottled water."Hmph," Anita breathes out."Waiter!" she calls, and the waiter walks over to her."Can I have an empty takeaway packet to take this food home?" Anita asks."Sure, ma'am," the waiter replies and quickly leaves them."Are you going to see your father today?" Temisa asks her."No... I need to rest today, and besides, the officers won't allow me to see him.""Hmm, it's well, girlfriend, I just hope they find the culprit because I doubt what will happen if they don't.""Hmm." Anita sighs."Here's the empty takeout pack, ma'am." The waiter returns and hands Anita a new transparent plastic plate with a blue cover."Thank you," Anita responds, and he nods and excuses himself."I have to start going back upstairs; you know my job is arranging the products into their respective cartons, so I'm leaving. Don't go home without me today!" Temisa informs Anita as

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
