All Chapters of MY CEO BESTIE AND ME: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Staring at his handsome reflection for the last time in the wide wall mirror, Anthony finally walked out of his bedroom upstairs. He followed the passage on the top floor and went downstairs to the event hall in the second wing of their mansion."Welcome the celebrant! As we have been waiting for this joyful moment to begin the celebration of his new age with him—Anthony Gregson!" The female host shouted as she watched Anthony walk out onto the front stage in the event hall."Thank you all, thank you," Anthony said as the round of applause increased for him. After he appeared on stage, he accepted the microphone from the hand of the female host, who was in a white gown.She was a young lady, though married, and served as the host of the show. She smiled sweetly at Anthony as he smiled back at her and all the guests who had arrived at the event hall with him and his family. They all clapped happily for him as well.Lerisa stood in a corner of the event hall and smiled at Anthony too. Sh

Lerisa immediately rushed down from the stage, not even waiting for Ben to leave with her. As the hall had turned dark, mixed with the dim lightbulbs, she collided with a man whose face she hadn’t seen. She apologized to him without looking up, saying, "I’m sorry."But as she wanted to get away from the event hall quickly and avoid witnessing Anthony proposing to Clara on stage, the man grabbed her left wrist and swirled her around to face him. Lerisa gasped, "Ah!"She collided with his hard chest and looked up at his face while Anthony and Clara continued dancing together on the stage."Hi, pretty," Remy said. Lerisa was shocked to see that he was the man she had witnessed earlier in the day kissing Clara by the roadside."Hi," she replied, unable to believe her eyes; her mouth fell open. Ben immediately approached them and pulled Lerisa away from Remy's grip, glaring at him.Remy smiled at Ben and Lerisa, while Lerisa pulled herself away from Ben's possessive hold.Remy was wearing a

Ben frowned as he saw that Remy had disrupted Anthony from getting engaged to Clara. His fists clenched, as this was what he had been waiting for and wanted to confirm.He looked away and met eyes with Emma, who stood aside and stared at him, hurt after seeing him dance with another lady. But he looked away from Emma; he had told her countless times that he wasn't in love with her and that they should only agree to have sex with each other. So why couldn't she understand that his heart belonged somewhere else? He frowned as he left the event hall.Most of the staff invited by Anthony had witnessed the drama that had unfolded and wondered if the birthday celebration was still ongoing or if it had ended. They were unsure whether they should start going back to their various homes.Anthony left the event hall and returned to the living room of his family mansion. He was hurt and couldn't believe that Clara would actually cheat on him and still pretend to love him.Anthony had given Clara

Lerisa arrived at her father's house earlier, parked her small red car, and went inside to her bedroom.She remembered the moment she saw Anthony walking into the event hall with Clara, holding hands as they walked up to the stage.Lerisa wiped her tears away, knowing that Anthony couldn't love her again. She felt embarrassed when Ben asked her why her expression changed upon seeing Clara and Anthony arrive together as the couple of the night.Lerisa said to herself, "I wasn't expecting my emotions to reveal the truth of my feelings on my face. What if Ben goes ahead and tells Anthony that I'm in love with him and jealous of seeing him and Clara together? Hmm," Lerisa sighed.She knew there was a tendency for Ben to reveal the truth about her emotions to Anthony before she did. But she thought, "Anthony wouldn't believe Ben. I cannot tell Anthony yet that I love him. I am not confident enough to do that."Taking a deep breath, Lerisa decided to take a bath. She stripped off the green g

Lerisa looked at Martha in surprise, shook her head, and replied, "How do I admit to Anthony that I love him? Isn’t it a man who should take the lead first? Anthony may appear nice and calm to us, but he's very mean and difficult at times in the office, and I am very afraid to tell him that I love him. That would make it seem like I am desperate. Don’t you think so?" Lerisa looked at Martha with hope as Martha contemplated her response."I don't know, but I think that Anthony likes you. Maybe if you open up about your feelings to him, he will reciprocate and love you too.""No. I am not going to beg a man to love me first. It's not appropriate. Let me just wait for Anthony to fall in love with me first, and if he doesn't, then I will move on with my life. We shouldn’t date, and maybe we aren’t destined to be together, just like our parents want. I also admire him, though."Martha sighed. "It's fine, sister. I'm already tired now. Let us go back to our rooms to rest, and maybe later we
