The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 35: Sleeping at work
Anita was still busy sleeping when the buzzer of the Benson Group sounded, indicating to all the workers that it was closing time.Margret stood up from her seat, packed her bag, and didn’t bother waking Anita. She leaned on her desk and switched off her computer. After arranging her bag, she slung it over her shoulder and stepped out.Bambam was attending to the last client of the day, as she was one of the sales representatives of the Benson Group involved in customer care services. She packed her bag and stood up, stepping out of her glass office to see that most of the staff on the third floor had already left, with just a few remaining. She glanced at Margret's office, which was opposite hers, thinking Margret was still in there, but as she approached, she saw Anita asleep at her desk.Bambam stepped in and gently tapped Anita's shoulder to wake her up, startling Anita, whose face looked dull and swollen from her earlier sobbing. Anita picked up her handkerchief from her lap and w
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 36: Meeting the CEO's father
Anita stared in the direction of the angle. She heard someone scream out her name and saw Temisa waving to her, standing with two elderly men in business outfits. Anita smiled at Bambam. "I have to go now; see you tomorrow in the office," she said as she turned to leave. Bambam replied, "Expect a call from me tonight. Once I get home, I will call to confirm if you have also gotten home!""Okay!" Anita responded as she walked up to meet Temisa and the two elderly men standing in the evening sky as the sun was already going down. Temisa looked breathtakingly beautiful in her oversized blue gown, and Anita realized that Temisa loved blue attire."Good evening, sirs," Anita greeted the two elderly men as she approached. Temisa smiled sweetly at her and pulled her to her side, holding her left hand closely behind her as they stood together."Father, this is my friend Anita Baker. She graduated as the best student in our department and won two prestigious awards.""Wow!" Both Mr. John and M
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 37: Mother's claims
Anita walked into her room without stopping in the living room, feeling extremely upset about her mother's claims. Her mother could be funny and annoying at times, and she didn’t want to get any more upset.Furthermore, Anita took off her mother's oversized white gown that she wore to work and was left only in her underwear and bra when her mother unexpectedly pushed the door open and stepped inside."Anita, what has come over you?" "Mom..." she turned to face her mother."Why did you walk out on us?" Mrs. Tonia Baker asked Anita, folding her arms across her chest.Anita shook her head and walked over to sit on her bed."Mom, I didn't walk out on you. I just wanted to freshen up.""You're still lying, even in my presence. What do you mean by the CEO's father? You mentioned something related to him.""I know, Mother. I was only saying that his father actually collected my phone number.""To do what?!""To sway you to his side, mistress?""No, Mother! There you go again. Sometimes you a

"Big sis, I’m heading back to my room. Nice to see you and Glory sharing a room now," Flora says as she stands up from the bed, not forgetting the room she previously shared with Anita."Yeah, you can say that again."Anita smiles and walks into the bathroom to take her bath while Flora steps out.As Anita stands in her bathroom to turn on the shower, she remembers being inside the elevator with the cold CEO, as her mother used to call him, and she doesn’t even realize she’s smiling, recalling the awkward moment with him in the elevator.Furthermore, Anita remembers the young woman who hit her and accused her of being happy to share elevator space with the handsome CEO, and she frowns.Anita won't lie to herself; the CEO is handsome, but he’s Temisa's husband-to-be, and she can never have anything to do with him."Oh, Anita, what are you thinking about, smiling foolishly at yourself?" she asks herself in her bathroom as she steps away from the shower and walks to the bathroom mirror to
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 39. Missed calls
"Big sis, your phone was ringing, so I was coming out to give it to you," Glory says as she hands the phone to Anita. Anita takes it and quickly checks the caller ID."Temisa," she says, and the phone rings again. She immediately picks it up."Hello, Temisa, good evening," Anita greets her friend."Good evening, girlfriend. I just finished having dinner, and my father can't stop telling my mother and brother about you," Temisa says, chuckling."Really?" Anita asks, a smile curving on her beautiful face as she walks back into her room."Yes, my father can't stop describing you to them. He was complaining, though," Temisa's voice trails off, and Anita can sense the sadness in her voice."About what?" she asks, concerned."Hmph, don't worry; just family matters," Temisa responds.Anita hears her sigh and knows Temisa is contemplating whether to tell her about her father's complaints."Is he complaining about our friendship?" Anita eventually asks."No, not that. You know I told you I hav
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 40: At home
Liam is upstairs in their family mansion, staring at his cute white cousin, who won't allow him to rest as she keeps following him around, even into his room. He sighs and escorts her back to her mother downstairs, who is sitting in the living room with his mother."Big brother, do you go to school?" she asks as he hands her back to her mother, who is sitting on the couch."No, Cynthia, I am a businessman, not a student," he replies, and his mother and aunt smile at him."Really? But mom told me that my big brother is in school," little Cynthia says."No. Maybe not me, but another of your big brothers, like your father's brother," Liam responds."Okay, do you have a wife?" little Cynthia asks, startling him, and he stiffens."Cynthia! What do you know about a wife?" her mother interjects as she cuddles her up."But mom, you told me that my uncle will be marrying soon!" little Cynthia says accusingly, and her mother swallows and stares at her with wide eyes, while Mrs. Juliet smiles at
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 41: Sacked Magret
Anita quickly walks into the gigantic five-story manufacturing industry and heads toward the elevator on the first grand floor.She feels the piercing eyes of those on the first floor staring at her as the elevator doors shut and take her up to the third floor.Stepping out, Anita feels nervous as she sees all those working on the third floor staring at her. She walks back to her office, where everyone has settled into their seats. She swallows hard, not daring to greet them or make eye contact.She checks her wristwatch and discovers it is 7:48 a.m. "Not late yet," she says as she walks into the open office she shares with Margret, noticing Margret is truly not there.Anita breathes out and places her handbag down to sit. Just then, Brown knocks on her glass door and walks in, as his office is also on the third floor."Good morning, Miss Anita Baker. The boss requests that you see him immediately upon your arrival," Brown says, and Anita stands up immediately."Okay." She puts her bag
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 42: Seeking for the boss
Anita quickly drags her plate of food closer to herself and starts eating.The company serves three major meals: jollof rice, fried rice, or porridge. These are the main options available to all the workers, except on special occasions.Anita quickly eats her jollof rice and chicken, and Temisa knows she isn't lying about the CEO's secretary being sacked.Throughout her meal, Temisa keeps an eye on the cafeteria entrance, but she hasn't seen the CEO leave since she started eating."I have to go now, Temisa; see you later." Anita smiles at her best friend and turns to leave."That's alright. So, will I be waiting for you after closing?" Temisa asks."Hmm, if you can, but I don't want you to be stressed," Anita replies."Why? Am I complaining to you?" Temisa asks again as she stands up and takes a sip from her water bottle."No, you're not. Fine, you can wait; I'm going back now." Anita quickly walks away from the table, and Temisa smiles contentedly, watching her friend leave.Temisa wa

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
