The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 20. Brother's advice
"Stop it, Anita. What are you talking about, mother-in-law? I don't think I'll even accept the marriage proposal again. Imagine I'm already attempting to fit into the company's standards; now I'll also have to fit into his mother's expectations. "What for?" Temisa asks, and Anita swallows. "I don't know; maybe that's how their family wants it," Anita says gently, knowing Temisa's already unhappy and agitated. "I don't care what their family wants. I cannot allow myself to become depressed because of my marriage. When I see him and he asks me out, I will clearly tell him that I am not interested, and that will end all this nonsense." Temisa fumes. "That's OK, girlfriend? You don't need to be furious with him; after all, you don't know whether he or his parents want the marriage. My mother believes he's probably jealous and dislikes ladies who are too pretty in order to avoid admirers." "Hmph, I'm simply waiting for Monday to come; he's not even attractive, but his principles are too
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 21. Anita's first day at work
Temisa does not turn to face her brother either, because she knows he will blame her first. "Here's your food; please eat it. We love you and wish you the best, okay?" Martin bids goodnight to Temisa and walks out of her room, closing the door, as Temisa opens the meal to examine it. She sees is another dish, not the one she partially abandoned; and she grinds her teeth and resolves to eat it first because she is extremely hungry. Temisa carries the food back to her bed, settles down, and begins eating it. Meanwhile, Martin exits Temisa's room and finds Felicia still waiting behind the door. "You're still here?" Martin inquires, and Felicia says, "Yes, I just want to be sure Temisa is alright." Martin takes a closer step to meet Felicia, while she adjusts backward to maintain a distance between them, and she collides with the wall behind her, making Martin smile, and he prefers to walk away and return to his room. "She's fine, Felicia; go to your room and sleep well," Martin tel
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 22. Taken to her office
As they approach the third level, the majority of the personnel are already in their open glass offices, and Anita admires them for the lovely setting of their offices in full view. She follows the security man till he comes to a halt in front of another glass office, where she notices some of the female employees staring at her, most likely wondering if she is a client. The security man enters the glass office first, and she figures the young man standing there is Joel Gregory, the person she was requested to see. "Sir, she's here to see you." The security man notifies Joel, who is dusting his seat and eager to settle down because he has just arrived. "Name?" Joel asks the security man. "Your name, ma'am?" The security man posed the question to Anita, who stared at the two men standing in the open office facing her, just as she had before. "Anita Baker," Anita says. "Oh!, "And you are?" Joel inquired, feeling somewhat familiar with her name. "May I come in?" Anita asks him. "

"Good morning, Raymond," Margret says as she steps into her office, in a seductive tone, and Raymond turns and looks at her. "One more report about you, and you're fired!" he adds to Margret before walking away, not responding to her welcome either. Margret grits her teeth and meets Anita's gaze, who is settling into her new seat across from her as they share a single desk. Margret looks backward at the Bambam Davis office. Bambam has a cute smile on her face as she winks at Margret, despite the fact that she is busy attending to a client in front of her. She knows Margret despises seeing any beautiful lady, and Margret is the most fair-skinned person on the third floor, likewise the closest person to their boss. Bambam also adores their boss, but the jealous man doesn't notice her presence, and Margret is the only one who can get closer to him, likewise his assistant, Brown. Bambam is surprised that Joel has hired an assistant for Margret, as they all believe the new boss despise
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 24. Shocked boss
It's time for lunch. Anita hears the company's alarm go off and looks at Margret, who has been performing all of the work on her own without asking for help. "Sorry, but what's that sound about?" Anita asks Margret as she notices a few staff members and other male employees on the third floor exiting their glass offices and getting into the elevator. Margret ignores her as if she isn't the person Anita has just chatted with. "Hello?" Anita inquired again, this time with a faint grimace. "Can't you see I'm busy?!" Margret replies coldly, and Anita shakes her head and looks down. Margret finally murmurs and stands up to go out and eat, since she is quite hungry, without responding to Anita. Anita sighs after Margret leaves her, and she sits even as the majority of the workers on the third level exit and enter the elevator that takes them below. Anita wonders if this is their break time, and then Joel comes up to greet her. "Hi, pretty," Joel says as he pushes the office door open
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 25. Getting the CEO's lunch.
Anita is speechless as the call with the boss ends. She heard his prior instruction for her to direct Margret to get him fried rice and a drink from the cafeteria, and when she hears the buzzer again, she knows lunch is about to end. Anita stood up and swiftly walked out of the open glass office she shares with Margret, and she could feel all of the predatory eyes on her on the third level, scanning her as she entered the elevator. However, as she is about to board the elevator, she collides with Joel, who is also returning upstairs to the third level. "Oh, sorry," Anita says to him, but Joel just grins pleasantly at her. "Going somewhere?" he says as she steps out of the elevator while other personnel from the third floor exit. "Yes, where's the cafeteria?" Anita inquired, and he responded, "Second floor beneath, ask the guards once you get there; I thought you said you came with your lunch." Joel inquires as he looks at her gorgeous, cute face. "Yes, the boss did send me; I mea
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 26. Margaret's jealousy
Anita smiled sweetly as she hurriedly made her way to the boss's office. Margret's brow furrowed as she saw Anita enter the single corridor leading to Liam's office. Margret wants to get up and call Anita back or interrogate her; where does she think she is going?. However, Margret is unable to create a scene or leave their client, scolding another staff member like her. "Hmm." Margret inhaled heavily as she returned her gaze to Miss Oyinda's attention. "Who is that beautiful young woman I just saw now? Sorry for interrupting; does she work here?" Miss Oyinda inquires, as she feels uneasy after seeing Anita. "Yes, she's my assistant," Margret manages to respond as she forces her words out. "Your assistant?" How can you people allow such a beautiful person to work here?" Miss Oyinda gasped and was unsure when she asked Margret the question. In her father's company, Oyinda has only men working for her, and their company primarily manufactures beverages and alcoholic wines. "Excus
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 27. Thinking about her job.
Anita breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the boss depart the third floor and enter the elevator that took him downstairs. Her day has been extremely hectic, from the delay at the entrance gate to Joel informing her that they had actually hired all of the reputable staff needed and that she would be managing the position as assistant secretary to the humiliating secretary she has to work with, who is visibly jealous of her like her own sisters. Anita wonders if it is now illegal for a lady to be as lovely or fair-skinned as she is. She isn't just fair-skinned like the other fair-looking girls; she is white and shining bright, almost like an albino, but she isn't. Anita shakes her head while eating her jollof rice. She seals her flask and places it in her handbag. However, Margret refuses to show her what to do, so she stands up and walks out to Joel's office to meet him. Anita also noticed that whenever she walked out, the rest of the female workers on the third level looked
