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

"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

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
