The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 82. Nervous feelings
Anita ignores Bambam's cold gaze on her and settles on her office seat, knowing that she's only there to work and earn and not make any friends. She remembers Alfred's proposal to her to quit working for Liam, and she wonders why Alfred hasn't even given her a call since then. Anita switches on her computer as she leans on her desk, and she doesn't care about anything else and knows in three weeks' time she will receive her first salary. Staring at her computer, booting and displaying in front of her, she wonders why the CEO hasn't arrived yet. As most times, he usually arrives early before her, and sometimes she doesn't even know he has arrived and walked past her into his office. Anita knows the CEO will soon arrive, as the time is already past 7:20 a.m. She arranges for the clients that will meet with him, checking all the clients' names. She doesn't see Alfred's name or the governor's wife's name on the list, and she sighs. Just then the elevator door opens, and Liam walks ou
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 83. Cancelled oversized clothes
Passing through a lot, is that why she's always sad and looking red? Liam asks himself as he drops his spoon and thinks for a while. Temisa walks out of Liam's office and immediately walks into Anita's open office. "Goodbye, girlfriend; see you later, after closing, and remember, the company asked us to wait!" Temisa says this as she quickly walks away and enters the elevator that takes her down the floor. Anita stares around for a while and continues eating her fried rice. "Temisa looks happy; does that mean the CEO actually kissed her too?" Anita's subconscious asks herself, and she wonders what really transpired between Temisa and the CEO in his office. "I shouldn't be worrying about this; they're a couple." Anita frowns at her own words, finishes her fried rice, and puts down her plate. She wipes the corners of her mouth with her handkerchief and continues with her work, arranging the list of names that will see the boss the following day. Meanwhile, Liam sits in his office,
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 84. Surprised his cousin
Liam walks back to his red SUV, and Tosin opens the SUV door for him to sit in. Liam doesn't wait for his father to say anything to him. As soon as Silas was through with his brief, Liam immediately walked away, as he wanted to rest. He speaks to Israel. "Stop by any eatery and get me some ice cream." Israel stares through the rearview mirror and responds, "Okay, boss." He ignites the SUV and drives out of Bennett, and he approaches an eatery, while Tosin steps down and walks into the eatery to get the boss's orders. Liam knows he cannot face little Cynthia without fulfilling his promise to her, as she doesn't seem to forget any promise made to her. He remembers the last time when her mother had promised her that Temisa would play with her, and Temisa never uttered any words to her, making Cynthia sadder. Tosin walks back to the SUV, holding a white-packaged nylon, and sits in, while Israel starts the SUV and drives back to their mansion. They arrive home as the security men at t
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 85. Temisa's jealousy
Mrs. Tonia immediately recognizes the car as Anita's best friend's, and she wonders if Anita is still in the car. She walks backward, excusing herself from Flora and her boyfriend, and she walks to meet Temisa, who immediately greets her. "Good evening, ma," Temisa says with a fake smile, and Mrs. Tonia smiles at her. "Welcome, my daughter, I thought Anita was here with you." "No, ma, Anita has gone inside since I was only receiving a phone call, and that delayed me," Temisa lies, knowing she cannot say that she was listening to their conversations. "Okay, I hope all is well with you." Mrs. Tonia asks Temisa in worry, hearing the sadness in her voice. "I'm fine, ma; I have to go now." Temisa quickly ignites her car's engine as Mrs. Tonia steps backward and away from her car. She zooms away, feeling her heart shudder as tears roll down from her eyes. Temisa arrives home and meets Aunt Susan and her daughters in their living room. Their home doesn't feel like home again without
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 86. Mother's marriage refusal
Anita quickly takes her towel and darts out of her room, leaving Flora, Esther, and Favor inside. She chases after her mother, who has returned to her room, and ties her white towel along the corridor before storming into her mother's room. "Mom!" Anita sees her mother taking off her brown gown and preparing to take a bath. Mrs. Tonia ignores Anita's screams as Anita walks up to meet her in the center of the beautiful, milk-colored room. "Mom, you cannot say that to Flora." Mrs. Tonia sighs and turns to face Anita. "You can't understand this. If Flora marries before you, it will seem like your fault, and that's why you're still single." "I understand, Mom, but Stephen truly loves Flora. Besides, they haven't set a wedding date yet. It won't affect me, and I'm sure about that," Anita says, and her mother shakes her head. "No, Anita. How can you be sure? When you don't even have any men asking you out or are in a relationship with you." Anita swallows and finally responds, "Mom,
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 87. Surprised Alert
"Hello," Anita says in a lower voice. She hears Alfred's husky voice greet her, "What's up, baby? How're you doing?" "I'm fine," she responds. She can hear the faint music playing in the background, making her wonder where Alfred is, as it's already getting late. "And you don't care to ask about me; how'm I doing too?" He asks, and she smiles. "Sorry about that. How's your day and work?" Anita inquired. "Fine, fine, and yours?" "Good," she responds. "Okay. I just called to know how you're doing. I'm honestly missing you, and you know Liam placed a ban on me. The last time I arrived on Monday just to see your beautiful face, the security men didn't allow me to use the elevator." "For real?" Anita asks aloud. "Yes, anyway, let's forget about Liam. I know he's behaving weird at times, but that can be solved. If I report him to his father, he will lift the ban, but I don't have the time. Can we see each other this weekend?" Alfred asks. Anita scratches her head, as she has already
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 88. The new looks
Arriving at the Benson Group, Anita settles down in her transparent glass office and stares at Bambam, who also settles down and stares at her coldly. Anita smirks, making Bambam stare away. They look so corporate and beautiful in their new vests, and she loves it. Anita switches on her computer to start work focus, and just then she sees the elevator door open, and the handsome CEO steps out with his personal bodyguard walking behind him and holding his briefcase. Liam dresses in a blue suit and black shoes, and Anita sees he isn't wearing the top given to them, while his bodyguard wore his usual black suit. Anita stares away from Liam, as she has chosen to believe their kiss was a mistake. She stands up and stares downward as he approaches her office. She hears the staff greet him, and as he nears her open glass office, he stares at her. Anita can also feel Liam's burning gaze on her. She raises her head up, meets his gaze, and greets him, "Good morning." Liam only stares at A
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 89. Supervising the company
Liam sits across from his two best friends, staring at his secretary's face. She looks breathtakingly beautiful. Now he realizes she's even cuter in her casual outfits than the oversized gown he implemented. Liam remembered the previous time he saw Anita with her sister over the weekend. She looked hot. He likes her, but he cannot confess his feelings to her. Liam shakes his head, eats his lunch quickly, and exits the cafe. He doesn't want to keep staring at them. As a lot of staff bought their lunch in takeaways and took it along with them, leaving the cafe. Done with his lunch, Liam stands up and sees Anita still conversing with Temisa. His fiancée has been staring at him since, but he looks away, and his secretary never looks back at him once, even though she knew he was there. Liam exits the cafeteria and walks out. He speaks to Raymond Martins to confirm Alfred's visit to the company. "Did Alfred Martin visit the company since I placed a restriction ban on him?" Liam inquired

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

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.
