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

Anthony did not bat 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, whom he was staring at with concern.Lerisa felt embarrassed after seeing Mark apologize to Anthony, and he exited Anthony's office by shutting the door.Mark already knew that Lerisa had a crush on Anthony, which was the reason she had rejected his love proposal.Furthermore, Mark shook his head in denial after seeing Anthony holding Lerisa closely by her arms, confirming to him that they were secret lovers but pretending in front of the other staff like they were siblings."Lerisa..." Anthony called out 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."What's wrong with you? Don't tell me it's nothing when you're looking t

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 his parents 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 seat out before sitting down a

Scene 6 - Advising HerAnthony finally stared back at Lerisa's face and 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 replied, "Nothing, 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 do not have any other friends aside from me," Anthony said."You d

Scene 8 - Caught His Girlfriend Lerisa sighed as she knew that she could not miss Anthony's birthday party. She had been there with him since he used to celebrate his seventh birthday party, and until now, he had 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 upon 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 occupied by the real house owners together with their family members, instead of tenants.But as

Scene 10 - Father's Suggestions Lerisa met with her parents in their living room and greeted them, "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 for Anthony before, and she did not know
