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

On Friday evening, Lerisa Jonah stood up from her office chair after she finished her office work for the day. She worked as Anthony Gregson's secretary. She stepped away from her chair and picked up her black handbag from the desk as she headed home. Lerisa was a fair-complexioned young lady, twenty-four years old. She wore a yellow shirt, a black pencil skirt, and black shoes. She wondered why she had not seen Anthony step out of his office. She knew that Anthony usually closed by 5 p.m. and left the company before 6 p.m., the normal closing hour. Lerisa walked toward Anthony's office door to discover what delayed her boss. The time was after 6 p.m., and most staff had already gone home. As Lerisa approached Anthony's office door, she knocked. She heard him respond, "Come in." She pushed the door slightly open, stepped into his office, and saw him seated in his executive chair. He stared at a red ring box in his hands. Lerisa's heart dropped the moment she saw the beautiful, s

Lerisa walked into the living room of her family mansion and found her mother standing beside the dining room. Her mother arranged the dining chairs. Her elder brother and younger sister were not around. They remained in school. "Good evening, Mom," Lerisa greeted her mother. She did not stop in the living room. She walked toward the corridor that led to all the rooms in the big house. Mrs. Antonia wondered what had happened to her first daughter. She saw how red Lerisa's face looked. She immediately called Lerisa back. "Come here, Lerisa! What happened in the office today? Why does your face look so red?" Lerisa stopped and replied, "Nothing, Mom. I am fine." Mrs. Antonia sighed and dismissed Lerisa. "That is alright. Do so quickly and come join your father and me for dinner." "Okay, Mom," Lerisa replied. She darted into the corridor and went to her room to take her bath. Lerisa stepped into her room and shut the door. She cried and leaned against the door for support. Then s

Lerisa finished having dinner with her parents in the dining room. None of her siblings were at home, so she stood up, locked the house entrance door, and returned to her bedroom to sleep. She went into her bedroom, picked up her phone, and saw that the time was after 10 p.m. She felt surprised to see many missed calls from Anthony. Lerisa wasted no time and called Anthony back to learn why he had called her. The phone call connected, and she spoke first. "Hello, Anthony." Anthony still stood in his bedroom. He prepared to sleep, but he saw his phone ringing, took it, and saw that Lerisa called him. Anthony picked up her call and asked her, "Hey, Lerisa. I called you before to know if you had gotten home safely and if you felt alright now." "Yes, I am fine now. Thanks for calling me to check," Lerisa replied. She knew that Anthony cared for her like an older brother. But he was not her brother. She had a big brother named James Jonah. Lerisa wished Anthony could see her beyond

Ben chuckled first over the phone call. He knew he had been asking Lerisa out, yet she did not want to accept him. Lerisa was the first lady who had ever rejected Ben's advances to date her. He felt determined to have her by force, whether she liked him or not. He believed that, with time, she would fall in love with him too. He replied, "Does it matter how I got your number, Lerisa? The truth is that I want to hear your voice. I have been searching for your mobile number since and got it from somewhere else." "Where?" Lerisa asked. She frowned and did not want to have anything to do with Ben. She knew that Ben came from a rich family. He was not the first son, but he owned a hotel and did well at his age, despite being the same age as Anthony. Lerisa asked him, "Why are you calling me?" "Chill, babe. Why are you sounding so pissed off? Yesterday, I saw that you looked so sad, and that made me truly worried about you. I could not sleep well last night, which is why I am calling y

Clara knew that she had lied to Remy about her name being April. That was one of her habits of lying to men about her real name, since she was not interested in them and only wanted to have sex with them. She walked through her house gate, as she lived there alone, and went into her room in the rented apartment. Meanwhile, Lerisa drove to the shopping complex where she wanted to purchase clothes. She parked her car and sighed as she remembered how Clara had denied knowing her. Lerisa thought to call Anthony again on the phone. But she did not know how she would explain to him that she saw his girlfriend cheating on him. Lerisa switched off her car engine and stepped out of her car. She locked her car door and walked to the shopping boutique where she wanted to select a gown. She stepped into one of the feminine boutiques. The sales representative attended to her. "Good afternoon, ma'am. What kind of clothes do you want to buy? We have gowns, skirts and blouses, and trousers and a
