The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 50. Admiring her looks
Anita looks at Liam's face and stammers, "I don't have any oversized clothes, so I wear my mother's." "Hmph!" Liam groans and returns to his desk, where he sits on his client seat, facing her, swirling it. "And you decide to wear this ridiculous outfit to work. How about the one you wore the prior day?" "The red one looked better, and the brown one is more suitable for you," he continues. "Oh." Anita blushes and looks adorable in his eyes. "My friend bought it for me," she explains, and Liam stiffens. "Which friend?" He asks her, which shouldn't have been a problem, but he wanted to know if she has a man in her life or a female friend. He merely wanted to see if she had a partner before asking why she offered her phone number to his client. Brown knocks and steps into Liam's office, rarely waiting for his boss's response. He notices the lovely secretary standing in front of his boss, sitting in the client seat rather than his customary boss seat, as the seat has been design
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 51. Reflection on his choice
Liam sits in his office, glancing around and reflecting on Alfred's words: "I saw her crying, and she looked so red." His office phone rings, and he answers. "Hello, boss, I have sent him away," Raymond tells him. "Okay," Liam hangs up the phone, and just as he hears another knock on his door, he says, "Come in." He checks the client's name on his computer and sees "Amelia Gabriel," one of their respectable customers. "Good morning, ma." Liam stands up and shakes her hand. "C.E.O. Liam, nice meeting you today," said the old lady. "Thank you, ma." Liam motioned for her to sit. "I spotted your new secretary. She's far more attractive and pleasant than your old secretary." "Thank you, ma." Liam smiles while listening to the woman. "I really intend on introducing her to my son, but that's our little secret between me and her." "Okay, ma'am," Liam managed with a stiff smile, still reeling from Alfred's visit and announcement that he intended to take his secretary away.
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 52. Rejecting his offer
"No, I can't; I am sorry," Anita says hurriedly, staring downward. "Why?" Liam asks her, biting his lower lip to calm himself because he has never asked anyone to join him for lunch except for Margret, who tries to sit with him and join him for lunch even though he has not asked her. "Nothing. I cannot; I apologize." Anita stares downward, wondering what those stupid females will say when they finally see her with the boss. "It's okay," Liam says, turning and exiting her open office as a group of female employees returns to the third level after purchasing takeout disposable plates to dine in their open offices. When Bambam sees the icy CEO go out of Anita's open office, her brow furrows once again. She doubts she will ever have the opportunity to grow closer to the chilly man. Bambam groans and walks inside her office across from Anita's, glaring at Anita as they meet again. Bambam notices Anita's face is red from weeping, and Bambam wonders if this is one of Anita's techn
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 53. Feeling Jealous
Temisa goes out of Anita's office, and Anita sighs. Just then, Anita's office phone rings, and she immediately answers, "Hello, boss." "See me in my office right away," Liam says, cutting the call short as he realizes he's nervously fidgeting with his necktie and gradually losing his composure. Liam sits up in his office chair, waiting for Anita to enter. Then he hears her knock and responds, "Come in." Anita walks into Liam's office after pushing the door open. She forgets to clean her mouth after rapidly eating a spoonful of the food Temisa brought for her. She approaches Liam, who is sitting, and stands in front of him. "You sent for me, boss," Anita adds, unable to look up at Liam's face. "Yes, I did," Liam says, clearing his throat. "It has come to my attention that you have provided some of our best clients with your phone number. Why?" Anita drops her jaw and stares at Liam. "Nothing, sir." Words refuse to escape her lips, and she gulps and looks downward. "H
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 54. Fulfilling his promise
Mr. Taiye clears his throat and initiates a conversation with Anita. "I remember asking you to submit your CV. Have you done it yet?" he inquired. "No, sir, I still have it in my bag," Anita replied. Mr. Taiye nodded and requested, "Alright, please hand it to me, and I'll review it when I have some free time. I'll ask my son to provide feedback later." Liam overheard his father's conversation as he stood by the door but remained composed. "Okay, sir." Anita quickly retrieved her CV from her bag, placed it in an envelope, and handed it over to Mr. Taiye. Accepting the document, Mr. Taiye smiled and said, "Okay, dear. Have a great day. I hope my son isn't adding to your workload." "No, sir," Anita assured. "Father, can we leave now?" Liam interrupted, turning his attention back to the open office. "Certainly, son," Mr. Taiye responded. Mr. Taiye smiled at Liam and walked out with him to Liam's office, holding the CV he had received from Anita. Upon entering his son's

"I can't believe you think like them, Joel," Anita gasps, her cheeks reddening. "Like who?" Joel inquired, concerned, as he had never intended to annoy Anita. "Forget about them. Can I go now?" She asks, looking away from him and her hand he holds, seeing that most of the staff has already left the third level except for Bambam, for whom she has no idea why she is waiting.. "Please, Anita, I apologize. I didn't mean to annoy you. I could tell the CEO was attracted to you by how he looked at you with worry and affection written all over his face, and I couldn't compete with him for you. I'm glad you stated he'd get married shortly. Honestly, I'd like to ask you to be my girlfriend." Joel announced, and Anita's jaw dropped as she looked at him with surprise. "Be your girl?" She asked, shaking her head. Then, Bambam coughed and slowly walked past them, clicking her high-heeled shoes to the ground as she wore a wine-colored oversized suit. *[Cough, cough].* "I see you're already inte
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 56
Anita walks into her living room and stares at Lisa and Glory, who find it difficult to keep a calm face as they look visibly sad and worried. "What's wrong?" she asks them, and they burst out crying, staring away from her as they wipe their tears. Anita stares at Flora standing beside the couch and questions her, "What did you do to them?" "Nothing," Flora responds, a heaviness evident in her voice as well. "What's wrong? Why aren't you girls saying anything? Did the bank people come here today, Mother?" Anita calls out to her mother and hurries to her mother's room. Upon entering, she sees her mother taking off her clothes to dress in a more comfortable outfit, or even her nightgown. "Mother, did you ask them not to tell me anything?" Anita storms in and asks her mother, who ignores her first daughter's question and continues undressing. "Mom, I'm asking you," Anita insists. She notices a letter by her mother's handbag, rushes to it, and picks it up. Before her mother can rea

Anita continues to stare at the card in her palm before deciding to call the governor's wife's number. She inserts the phone number into her phone and saves it, just as Glory knocks and walks in. "Is it time for dinner, big sister?" Glory asks Anita, surprised to learn that she hasn't even taken a bath yet. "Okay, I'll be out soon. You can have your dinners alone, as I'd like to take a bath first," Anita said. "No, mother insists, I call you out now because she wants to speak to us," Glory reminds Anita. "Oh," Anita sighs, staring at her room's wall clock, which reads 8 p.m. sharp. "Fine, go ahead; I am coming." She drops her phone, stands up, pulls her white towel around her chest to conceal her thighs, and steps out of her room into the dining room to join her mother and sisters. Anita takes her usual seat for dinner, and Glory and Lisa come out of the kitchen to serve them. The dining room is quiet, and her mother says nothing while Lisa shares the fufu she got at the market

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 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

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?
