All Chapters of The Cold CEO's Woman: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Anita stepped out of the room she shared with Glory and walked back to the dining room where their mother was still crying and seated on the couch in the living room.Anita stared at her mother and sighed as she walked to meet her.Her sisters were already sitting at the dining table, waiting for her and their mother.The living room was gravely silent, with only the sound of the ceiling fan rotating quickly heard."Mom," Anita said, crouching down beside her mother."Mom," Anita called again, and Mrs. Tonia sighed and stood up."I don't know how your father got himself involved in a fraudulent case. How could he? Now the police have refused to let me see him," Mrs. Tonia complained.Anita sighed. "Mom, I believe they will find the real scammers. The officers I met told me that Dad released some confidential information to a colleague who absconded with all the money, and until they trace the real perpetrator, Dad can’t be released.""Why would he get involved? I'm not happy about this

Liam stood by the elevator door as he saw Anita approaching. He decided to wait for her before pressing the button to close the door.Anita walked up to the elevator and stared at him, confused."Are you going downstairs for lunch too?" he asked her in his husky, masculine voice. Anita swallowed and struggled to find words to reply."Yes, sir," she stammered."Step in," he commanded, and Raymond moved aside as other staff using the second elevator arrived. They stepped out and stared in shock at the CEO talking to the most beautiful young woman on the third floor.Joel stepped out of his glass office, intending to go downstairs for lunch as well. He saw Anita walking into the elevator, and the CEO was already inside, making him furrow his brows. They didn't even wait for him to approach as the elevator door closed, leaving Anita nervously standing beside the tall, handsome CEO.Anita felt extremely nervous; after all, the cold man was her boss.His masculine scent forced its way into h

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

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, 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
