The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 32. The rude secretary
When Anita arrived at the Benson Group of Companies, it was already 7:45 a.m. She races to the front gate, but most of their employees have already entered. "You arrived late today, madam." Solomon Matt, the assistant head guard in charge of the gate, tells Anita this, and she gives him a small smile. "Not yet 8 a.m.," Anita replies, hastily writing down the time she used to arrive at the company's gate and enter. She goes quickly towards the building, and the surroundings remain calm as she approaches the company building. Anita walks inside the ground floor of the corporation, where primarily security workers and potential distributors interested in working with the Benson Group are waiting for the receptionist to begin serving them. The staff has not yet begun their day's work. Anita felt the clients' piercing attention on her as she stepped into the lobby and approached the elevator that would take her up to the third floor. She is aware that her mother's gown is generati
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 33. Elevator with the CEO
Liam stands by the elevator entrance, noticing Anita approaching. He decides to wait for her before closing the elevator door. Anita approaches the elevator and looks at Liam confusedly. "Are you going downstairs for lunch, too?" He questioned her in a manly voice. Anita choked and responded, "Yeah." "Step in," he instructs, and Raymond steps aside as other employees take the second elevator down. Some get out and are taken aback by the CEO's conversation with the most stunning young woman on the third level with them. Joel comes out of his glass office, intending to go downstairs for lunch too, and notices Anita walking into the elevator while the CEO is inside the elevator, making his brow furrow. They didn't even wait for him to approach before closing the elevator door, leaving Anita uncomfortably standing behind the tall, handsome CEO and going to the cafeteria. Anita is really nervous, as the frigid man is actually her boss. His cool, powerful perfume pushed its way into h
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 34. Cousin's arrival
"You've heard the buzzer now." Temisa tells Anita, "Eat quick, let's leave," once she's finished her meal and sipped her bottled water. "Hmph!" Anita exhaled. "Waiter!" Anita called, and the waiter came up to greet her. "Can I have an empty takeaway packet to take this food home?" Anita asks the waiter. "Sure ma'am" The waiter responded and swiftly left them. "Are you going to see your father today?" Temisa questions Anita. "No. "I need to rest for today, and the officers won't let me see him," Anita responded sadly. "Hmm, it's well, girlfriend. I just hope they find the culprit soon, as I doubt what will happen if they don't," Temisa said. "Hmm." Anita sighed. "Here's the empty pack of takeout, ma'am." The waiter returns to Anita and gives her the new, empty, transparent plastic plate with a blue lid. "Thank you," Anita says to waiter, as the waiter nods and excuses them. "I have to start going back up to the fourth floor; you know my job is to organize the things into thei
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 35. Sleeping in the office
Anita is still asleep when the Benson group's buzzer sounds, informing all employees that it is closing time. Margaret gets up from her seat, packs her bag, and doesn't bother waking Anita up as she leans against her desk and turns off her computer. After organizing her bag, she lifts it onto her shoulder and steps out. Bambam is attending to the day's final client as one of Benson Group's sales professionals in charge of customer service. She packs her briefcase and rises up as she steps out of her glass office, noticing that the majority of the workers on the third level have left, leaving only a handful. Bambam looks at Margaret's office, which is opposite hers, believing Margaret is still there, and as she approaches, she notices Anita asleep on her desk. Bambam walks into the office and gently taps Anita's shoulder to stir her awake, shocking Anita, whose face is dull and puffy from her earlier sob. Anita picks up her handkerchief from her lap and wipes the side of her face, dr
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 36. New friend
Anita looks toward the direction of the angle. She heard someone scream her name and saw Temisa waving to her while standing with two elderly guys dressed in business suits. She smiles at Bambam, saying, "I have to go now; see you tomorrow in the office." Bambam responds, "Expect a call from me tonight; once I get home, I will call to confirm if you have also gotten home!." "Okay!" Anita says as she walks up to meet Temisa and the two elderly men standing out in the evening sky. The sun is already setting. Temisa looks stunning in her big blue gown, and she has just recently learned how much she enjoys wearing blue. "Good evening, sirs." Anita approaches the two older guys, and Temisa smiles sweetly and pulls her to her side, holding her left hand behind her back to stand with her. "Father, This is my friend Anita Baker; she graduated as the top student in our department at school and received two major prizes." "Wow!" Mr. John and Mr. Taiye's lips drop in surprise, and Temisa g
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 37. Mother's queries
Anita had already walked into the room that she shares with Glory, not stopping in their living room either, because she was so upset by her mother's statements. Her mother may be both amusing and aggravating at times, and she doesn't want to get offended. Anita removes her mother's large white-colored gown, which she wore to work, and is left in her underwear and bra when her mother opens her room door and walks in. "Anita, what has come over you?" Mrs. Tonia questions. "Mom." Anita turns to face her mother. "Why did you walk out on us?" Mrs. Tonia Baker asks again, folding her arms across her chest. She shakes her head and goes to sit on her daughter's bed. "Mom, I did not leave you. I need to freshen up," Anita admits. "You are still lying, even in my presence. What do you mean by "CEO's father"? You mentioned something linked to him." "I know, mother; I was only saying that his father actually collected my phone number." "To do what?!?" Mrs. Tonia interrupted Anita. "To
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 38. Remembering her moment with the CEO
"Big sister, I'm leaving for my room. "Nice, you and Glory are now sharing this room," Flora says to Anita, as she stands up from the bed, remembering the room she formerly shared with Anita. "Yeah, you can say that again." Anita smiles and enters the bathroom to take a bath, while Flora exits. As Anita stands in her bathroom to turn on her shower, she recalls standing inside the elevator with the chilly CEO, as her mother used to refer to him, and she smiles, recalling the unpleasant moment with him inside the elevator. Anita, however, frowns as she recalls the girl who slapped her shoulder and accused her of enjoying sharing an elevator space with the handsome CEO. Anita isn't going to lie to herself; the CEO is attractive, but he's Temisa's soon-to-be husband, and she'll never be involved with him. "Oh, oo, Anita, what are you thinking about smiling foolishly at yourself?" She asks herself as she exits the shower and walks to her bathroom mirror to gaze at her stunning reflecti
The Cold CEO's Woman Chapter 39. Missed calls
"Big sis, your phone was ringing, so I was coming out now to give it to you," Glory explains to Anita, handing the phone back to Anita. Anita takes her phone and instantly looks at the caller. "Temisa," she says, and the phone rings again while she instantly picks it up. "Hello, Temisa, good evening," Anita says first. "Good evening, girlfriend. I just completed my meal, and my father can't stop telling my mother and brother about you today," Temisa says, chuckling. "Really?" Anita asks nervously as a smile spreads across her gorgeous face while she enters her bedroom. "Yes, my father cannot simply cease portraying you to them. However." Temisa's voice trails off, and Anita can sense her despair. "About what?" Anita inquired in a very concerned tone. "Hmph, not to worry; just family matters." Anita can hear Temisa's sighs and knows Temisa isn't ready to tell her about her father's criticisms of her. "Is he complaining about our friendship?" Anita ultimately asks. "No oo! No
