All Chapters of MY CEO BESTIE AND ME: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Anthony ignored Mark’s presence, his gaze firmly fixed on Lerisa's face. He didn’t even avert his eyes or glance at Mark Terry for a second.Lerisa felt embarrassed after seeing Mark apologize to Anthony. She watched him exit Anthony's office, immediately shutting the door behind him.Mark knew that Lerisa had a crush on Anthony, which was why she rejected his love proposal. He shook his head in denial after seeing Anthony holding Lerisa’s arms closely to his chest. This confirmed his suspicions that they were secret lovers, pretending in front of the other staff that they were siblings.“Lerisa…” Anthony called her name, making her shudder in his embrace. His eyes locked with hers.Lerisa snapped out of her trance, looking away while he still held her arms closely.Anthony knew that Lerisa was not in any relationship, so he wondered what could be bothering her. Was someone troubling her or had someone broken her heart?"What's wrong with you? Don’t tell me it’s nothing when you're loo

Anthony continued to think about why Lerisa wasn't happy, as he didn't have any siblings and had grown up seeing Lerisa as a sibling to him.He sighed and focused his gaze on the road, driving home. Soon, he arrived home and drove into the garage before getting out of his car and walking up to their duplex mansion.“Good evening, Mom and Dad,” Anthony greeted his parents as he stepped into the living room and saw them sitting in the dining room.His mother smiled and replied first, “Welcome home, Anthony. How was work today?”“Fine, Mother,” Anthony said as he walked toward the living room stairs to retire to his bedroom. However, his mother spoke to him, “Wait, Anthony, won't you join us for dinner before retiring to your bedroom?”Anthony paused, stared back at his mother, and replied, “Okay, Mom. How's the birthday preparation going? We will celebrate it here tomorrow in the event hall.”Anthony walked to the dining room to join his parents. He pulled a seat out before sitting down

Anthony finally stared back at Lerisa's face and said to her, "I have to go home now, Lerisa. I hope that you're truly feeling fine now."Anthony drank from the bottled water in his hands again, looking directly at Lerisa's face. She replied, "Yes, I'm fine. See you later in the evening."Lerisa's pretty, fair-complexioned face turned sad again as she remembered that Anthony would definitely propose to Clara in the evening. Since Anthony and Clara had been dating for three years or more.Anthony noticed the change in Lerisa's mood due to how her face automatically turned red. He immediately asked her, "What's wrong with you again?"Lerisa snapped out of her trance and replied, "Nothing, I'm fine.""Hmm, you keep lying to me that you're fine when you are not... Tell me the truth, Lerisa. What's bothering you? You can share whatever the problem is with me. You know that I care about you, and I know that you don't have any other friends aside from me," Anthony said. "You don't have a boyf

Lerisa sighed as she knew that she couldn't miss Anthony's birthday party. She had been there with him since he celebrated his 8th birthday party, and now he had become an adult.She knew that if she avoided attending Anthony's birthday party, it might seem as though she was jealous or holding a grudge against him, which would make her parents frown at her.Lerisa fixed her gaze on the road as she drove her car out of the street, intending to take another turn before driving onto the main road.But just then, she saw a lady and a man kissing each other in front of a black car parked on the street.Lerisa wondered who the shameless young lady and the man were, kissing in public instead of finding somewhere private.She knew that mostly rich families lived around the estate, as most houses were individually owned and some were occupied by the real homeowners along with their family members, instead of tenants.As she drove ahead to exit the street, Lerisa approached the black car and saw

Lerisa and Martha entered the living room and met their parents seated on a couch. They greeted their parents, "Good afternoon, Mom, Dad.""Welcome home, Lerisa. Your father and I forgot to purchase birthday gifts for Anthony today. How about you? Did you purchase anything when you were coming home?" Mrs. Antonia asked. Lerisa replied, "No, Mom. I forgot too."Lerisa stared at the living room wall clock and saw that it was already 2 PM.Her father said, "There's still time, Lerisa. Why not go outside now with your sister to the shops nearby and purchase something for the Gregson family? As you know, we can't go there empty-handed to attend Anthony's birthday since he is their only son.""Hmm, you're right, Father. But what do I shop for him? They’re rich, and last year we already gave Anthony a standing fan... I don't know what to buy for him this year," Lerisa said with a frown, as they had bought a lot of gifts for Anthony before, and she was unsure what to give him recently."Anythi
