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

Anthony ignored responding to Mark's apologies, as he didn't even avert his gaze nor bait an eye to stare at Mark Terry for a second, who had stepped into his office to see him. His gaze was strictly on Lerisa's face, whom he was staring at with concern.Lerisa felt embarrassed after seeing Mark apologize to Anthony.Mark then exited Anthony's office immediately by shutting the door. He already knew that Lerisa had a crush on Anthony, which was why she had rejected his love proposal.Mark shook his head in denial after seeing Anthony holding Lerisa's arms closely, confirming to him that they were secret lovers but pretending in front of the other staff like they were siblings."Lerisa..." Anthony called out to Lerisa's name again, making her shudder in his hold and snap out of her trance, as he was still holding her arms closely.Anthony knew that Lerisa was not in any relationship, so he wondered what had made her look sad and if someone had broken her heart or was troubling her."Wha

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 walked up 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 chair out before sitting down across

Anthony finally stared back at Lerisa's face, and he 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 have been dating for three years or more.Anthony noticed the change in Lerisa's mood due to how her face automatically turned red. He asked her, "What's wrong with you again?"Lerisa snapped out of her trance and forced a tight smile. She replied, "Nothing is wrong, I'm fine.""Hmm, you keep lying to me that you're fine when you are not fine. 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.""You

Lerisa sighed as she knew that she couldn't miss Anthony's birthday party. She had been there with him since he used to celebrate his 8th birthday party, and until now he has 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, and her parents would frown at her.Lerisa fixed her gaze on the road as she drove her car out of the street and wanted to take another street turn before driving out 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 that 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 mostly occupied by the real house owners together with their family members, instead of tenants.But as she drove her car ahead to exit t

Lerisa and Martha entered the living room, where they met their parents seated on a couch in the living room, and they greeted their parents, "Good afternoon, Mom, Dad.""Welcome home, Lerisa. Your father and I forgot to purchase birthday gifts that we will give to Anthony today. How about you? Did you purchase anything when you were coming home?" Mrs. Antonia asked, and 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 what we will give to the Gregson family? As you know, we cannot 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? As they're rich, and last year we had already given Anthony a standing fan. And I don't know what to buy for him this year again," Lerisa said with a frown, as they had bought many gifts
