Mr. CEO I can't Be Hidden Anymore Chapter 13
Amaka's POVThe following morning, Maureen's fiancé arrived early to pick her up, and we assisted her in carrying some of her boxes.Maureen wore a green dress before heading off to take her bath. When she stepped out of the bathroom, she was dressed in a yellow top and a black skirt. She had a born-again look that made it difficult for anyone to know she had been raised by a single mother."Thank you, Amaka," Maureen said to me once she finished applying a simple makeup of white powder and lipstick."I am going to miss you," she said as she hugged me once more. I smiled and replied, "I’m only a phone call away. Don’t worry; I’ll come over to see you today after I close from work." Chris arrived at 6:30 AM to pick her up in his car."Okay," Maureen said, turning to look at Jason as he walked into the room. He wore a white singlet, blue boxers, and black slippers. He looked at us in confusion, wondering where Maureen was going since she was supposed to prepare him for school."I am goin

Amaka's POV:As I left the house, I hurriedly made my way to the bus stop further down the street. We lived in an estate, so I had to walk to the gate because I didn't have a car yet.Although Maureen's mother has a small car, since she was taking Jason to school, I didn't want to inconvenience her."Hello, good morning," a black car pulled up beside me. I peered inside and saw a man in a black suit sitting there. He greeted me, "Hi, I see you're in a hurry. Where are you rushing to?""Um, never mind. I have someone to pick me up," I said to the man in the car. He smiled and replied, "Alright. Do you live around here? I've seen you around and would like to get to know you better. I live down this estate road too." He said, and I frowned."Alright. But I'm in a hurry right now. Maybe some other time," I said, wanting to shoo him away. I couldn't believe a man would be chasing after me this early in the day when many passersby were rushing to their workplaces."Alright. Please, miss, her

Joseph's POV:Early in the morning at my house, I awoke in my bed and prepared to leave for the office since Nina and I had slept in different rooms. Nina slept in the guest room downstairs while I slept alone in my room. After getting out of bed, I went to take a shower in my bathroom. As I stood under the shower, I recalled returning home the previous night and seeing Nina in my house. I was not happy that Nina had come to live with me, but I couldn't protest her staying here. It was high time I got married. After finishing my shower, I walked out of the bathroom, went to my closet, and dried off. Next, I donned a black suit and prepared to leave for the office. Even the work project I had brought home the previous night to work on remained untouched, so I planned to tackle it at the office. I didn’t feel like staying in this house. After that, I grabbed my briefcase just as I finished putting on my black shoes, then I set out to leave my house, picking up my car keys from wh

Joseph's POV:As I entered my office, I tried not to think too much about Amaka and whether I should inform Nina and my mother that I wasn't ready to get married yet. But who was I fooling?I moved over to my office chair to sit down while Nina gasped as she entered my workspace."Wow! You have a very beautiful office, babe. I love the white paint, the style of your office, and how spacious it is," Nina said excitedly as she moved around my office. I managed to reply, "Thank you."I sat in my office chair and looked through the glass that revealed Simon's office."Wow! So you can even see the next staff office here on the top floor? It's so lovely," Nina said as she moved over to the glass to look at Simon's office.Just then, Simon and Amaka entered the office, and I watched in jealousy as Simon moved over to Amaka's desk to speak with her.One thing I couldn't hear whatever they were discussing, but I could see them clearly."What office is that?" Nina asked me as she admired Simon a

Amaka's POVAs I sat in my chair, Simon came and informed me not to think too much about Joseph's fiancée. He tried to engage me in conversation, telling me how Joseph was one of the coolest bosses he had ever worked with."I’m telling you, Amaka, you shouldn’t worry about our boss. At first, I thought he might be smitten by you, but seeing his fiancée today gives me the go-ahead to chase after you," Simon smiled as he sat down."Really? But I am not interested in men. I just want to work, have money, and care for myself. Men are liars, pretenders, and cheats," I replied, looking at Simon's handsome face as he sat there. He gasped, “Wow! Seems like you’ve been in a failed relationship before?”"Not just failed, but the worst of it," I said, looking away from him to my computer as I tried to upload the details of the new product I was trying to advertise online.There was silence in the office, and after a while, Simon said, “I have also been in a failed relationship. I can tell you tha

Joseph's POV"I'm leaving now, Joe," Ethan said as he approached me. Just as I stepped out of my workspace to have lunch with Nina. Although I wasn't happy with Nina's clinginess, I had to put up with her and replied to Ethan, "That's fine. But you shouldn't be chasing after my female staff here."I watched Amaka walk into the elevator and disappear from my sight. The way she looked away from me made me feel restless, but I couldn’t do anything about it; I had to pretend that I didn't know her. "That's fine, Joseph. Take care of yourself, and you too, pretty," Ethan said to Nina, and she forced a smile in response."Alright, goodbye, sir." Nina and I entered the elevator, heading to the cafeteria. As we entered, my eyes caught sight of Amaka and Simon seated together.Even though the rest of the staff in the cafeteria greeted me upon my entry, I didn’t bother to respond; I remained focused on Amaka and Simon with irritation. Their meals had been served, and they chatted and smiled

Nina's POVI wasn’t impressed that I caught Joseph staring at that pretty blonde lady not once but twice.Whenever I asked him about her, he would say that she was just his new staff and he was wondering why Simon was taking care of her. Why should Joseph be bothered about this lady?I remembered when I arrived at the company with Joseph in the morning. My motive was to find out if he had any woman he was seeing in his office and to also see his workplace. I couldn’t relax at home or move to my father’s company to resume my job as an accountant when Joseph had a big company. On top of that, he was handsome and a bit of a bad boy, so many female staff might be drooling over him. He might well have someone he was interested in at the office.I noticed this lady was looking at me in shock when I got out of Joseph's car. One thing I didn’t like was that her office was just beside Joseph's, and several times he was looking at her face, thinking I was busy going through my phone.I wanted

Nina's POV"Hey sis, are you listening to me?" Kaleb asked, and I sighed before replying, "Yes. I'm good. Why do you advise me to wait until Joseph and I marry? I like him, and I see nothing wrong with us having sex now.""I know. But I was only kidding just to check how you feel," Kaleb replied, and I smiled."No. We haven't. Joseph didn't want to, even when I offered myself to him. He told me we should wait until after marriage," I explained, and Kaleb sighed."Hmm. That's nice. I hope he's not pretending with you. What man would see how pretty you are and still resist you?" Kaleb pressed, wanting to know whether Joseph and I had been intimate."We haven't done anything, Kaleb. Is this why you called me?" I quickly changed the subject, and he grinned."No, I just wanted to know how you're doing. You know you're my only sister, so I have to check on you," he said, to which I responded, "I’m fine.""Alexander was asking about you. He came to my office today, but I told him you weren’t

Amaka's POV: "Amaka, I am not asking you to forgive Joseph. But you know that he is my best friend, and I know Joseph well. These days, I think he is more affected by seeing you again, and you should give him a chance at least, a second chance to prove his worth again." Ethan kept his face focused on the road as he drove his black SUV away. I sighed, still not responding to his advice. "It's well," Ethan muttered as he drove back to the island where my rented apartment was. "Are you bothered that Joseph would want to fight with you if he is so serious about his new-found feeling for me?" I queried Ethan, and he laughed aloud. "He is already fighting me, and he hadn't hung out with me since you showed up in our lives. Honestly, I sometimes wished that I had met you before Joseph did. He doesn't deserve you, at least. Let me be honest. You are too decent for a bad boy like him. So, I cannot blame you for the decision that your heart desires." "Mmm," I was silent as I knew that

Amaka's POV:I stood up from the couch and went to give Joseph's mother my bank account details, and they made the transfer into my account. Once I had confirmed the money, I thanked the Ericsons once more, even when it wasn't what I wanted.Joseph was smiling as if he had won my heart, but I had my reservations as I saw his two aunties looked happy."I have received the money, sir," I let Joseph's father know, and he nodded."That's fine. I want you to use that as compensation for what our son did to you. And we hope that you can always come to visit us whenever we have any family activities," Mr. Ericson said, and I nodded sadly."I will. I have to get going home now." I wanted to leave, and Joseph's mother said, "Why don't you join us for lunch before leaving?""No, Ma'am. I am not hungry. I have a running stomach, so I am always mindful of what I eat outside," I told Mrs. Hannah politely, and she smiled sadly, as she wanted to make amends for the past."It's alright. Since you do

Amaka's POV "Can we get going, please?" Joseph asked me, and I peered at his face and replied, "Alright."I took out my phone and contacted the Uber driver, and I apologized to him. "Hello, sir. I won't be able to go with you again. As I already cancelled the trip. Can I make a refund to you?""It's alright, Madam. You don't have to worry about the payment," the Uber driver said. I marched to get into the back seat of Joseph's car.I saw Joseph smiling, but I rolled my eyes and looked away."Mommy," Jason smiled at me from the front passenger seat, as he was happy to be sitting in the front seat beside Joseph.The car was filled with Joseph's cologne, and I sat in a tight corner, trying to do some breathing exercises to distract my nose from his intoxicating scent."Can you unlock the car windows?" I asked Joseph, after seeing that the car was an automatic."Anything for you," Joseph replied with a calm voice, but I didn't bother to correct him, since he had unlocked the car windows.

Amaka's POV:As I woke up in my room, I sighed and got out of my bed as I made preparations for my son and me to visit Joseph's mother.If it wasn't that I had made the promise that I would visit them, I would have canceled it because Jason was not feeling well.I went to have my bath in the bathroom, and as I got out, I donned a blue top and black trousers, and also a black pair of shoes. Then I moved over to the mirror to do my makeup.I saw that I had a little acne due to the stress that comes with working. I didn't apply makeup, so I made use of my tinted lip gloss and went to my son's room to check on him.Jason was still asleep on the bed, and I recalled how I had gone to Joseph's house to bring him back.Sighing, I gently went to wake my son and to assist him with his bath.His body temperature was back to normal, and he had eaten well the night before.Helping Jason to undress, I prepared a warm bath for him and took him into the bathroom to wash up.A few minutes later, Jason

Joseph's POV."Wow! That was a rude way to speak to us!" Danna yelled, but Amaka didn't glance back as she walked away with Jason in her arms, who waved goodbye to me."It's fine, sister. She is just angry with me," I looked back at Danna and her friend and smiled."Why is she still being cold to you? I honestly do not like how she is behaving rudely. And I honestly think that you should move on and forget about her and her son," Danna said, taking me by surprise, and I laughed and looked at her."I cannot believe that you are saying this to me, Danna. Weren't you the one who was clamoring for me to marry Amaka and unite with my son? And now, you're telling me that I should forget about them?" I queried my sister, and she sighed."I was. But she is still cold to all of us and even you. So it's a waste. Anyway, meet my friend, Clara Martin. She is Jason's class teacher in school," Danna introduced me to her friend, who smiled."It's nice to meet you, Ms. Martin," I told her, and she gr

Joseph's POV.As we arrived at the house, I rang the doorbell, and Lady Tope pulled the huge black door open and gasped, "Wow! Boss, is he your son?""Yes, he is my little boy. He lives down the street with his mother in this estate," I told Lady Tope with a smile, and she waved at my son, telling him, "Hello.""Good afternoon, Ma," Jason politely greeted her, and Lady Tope waved at him and asked him, "What's your name?""Jason.""It's nice to meet you, Jason," Lady Tope said, and my son shook hands with her. I smiled and asked him, "Do you want to tour the house?""Mmm," Jason smiled and nodded."Yes, Dad. Where is your own room? Do you sleep in this big house alone? It's big like Uncle Ethan's house," Jason said, and I froze."What? Did Amaka take you to Uncle Ethan's house?" I squatted to meet my son's height and asked him."Yeah. My mom says that Uncle Ethan wants to be my new daddy. But I don't know if that's possible," Jason said, and I sighed with relief. As I hadn't thought th

Amaka's POV."How is your son doing now?" Simon asked, as I had already updated him earlier that I was not going to the company.It was past 5 pm in the evening, and I guessed Simon had taken permission to come and see me."He is fine. Thank you for coming," I greeted Simon, smiling, and he said, "We are friends. So what do you expect."Simon's eyes shifted to look at Ethan, who was peering at him, and he greeted Ethan, "Good evening, sir.""Welcome," Ethan mumbled."I have to go and check on my son. You shouldn't have stressed about coming to see us," came my calm response to Simon, and he grinned."I cannot help it. I just wanted to see your lovely face," Simon teased, and Ethan scowled. "Amaka, I should get going now. Take care.""Alright," I told Ethan, and watched him walk out of my residence as he packed his car outside my house."Are you both dating?" Simon asked after Mr. Ethan left."That shouldn't be your concern," I told Simon, and he sighed."Alright. I just came to check

Amaka's POV: "Ugh," I grimaced and rolled my eyes at Joseph's happy voice of waving goodbye to my son. As I got into the gate, I was surprised to come across Janet Moore. "Oh, good afternoon, Ms. Moore. Didn't you go to your shop today?" I asked her with a look of surprise, and she grinned. "I did. I came home to get some food. As I don't like to eat out, and the food I had was already cold," Janet said, donning a yellow top and black skirt. And I told her about taking Jason to the hospital. "Oh, I hope he is fine now?" Janet asked me with concern, and I nodded. "Yes, he is., aright. Take care," I waved goodbye to Janet as my son and I went back into my house. My mind filled with numerous thoughts on why Joseph was acting like a caring father. I swiftly waved the thought and went in. As I entered the living room, I set Jason down on the mattress and have him eat his meal. The jollof rice and fried chicken food that Joseph had bought for us, smelled so delicious, and I could fee

Amaka's POV:At the doctor's office, Dr. Steven smiled and offered for Jason and me to have a seat. As he recommended that my son perform some series of tests.We had to wait for the test results to arrive. However, when we got back into the doctor's office, after returning from the lab where my son went to do some malaria test.Dr. Steven, in a white lab coat and black trousers, smiled and told me, "Mrs. Richard, your son is having only malaria, and that is a result of the mosquito bite."As Doctor Steven relayed that to me, I looked at the door that pushed open, and Joseph came in. But I didn't spare him a glance at all. What caught my attention was the female nurse smiling at Joseph. As Dr. Steven in charge asked her, "Who is he? Nurse Tina?""Oh, Doctor Steven. This is Mr. Ericson, the child's father," she pointed to my son with a smile, and Dr. Steven looked at Joseph and told him, "You are welcome, sir. Please have a seat. As we are just meeting for the first time since your chi
