All Chapters of Mr. CEO I can't Be Hidden Anymore : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

(Amaka's POV) I arrived home late because of traffic. My son, Jason, was already asleep when I came into the room. I didn't see Maureen's mother in the living room, so Maureen and I went to her room so I could unwind and have my bath. "Welcome, Amaka. How was work today?" Maureen asked as I took off the corporate wear I'd worn to the office. My mind was in turmoil. How could I even begin to explain to Maureen everything that had happened today? "Amaka?" Maureen called my name again, and I jolted out of my reverie. "Yes? What did you say?" I asked. She stood there in a green nightdress, sighed, and walked up to me. "Where was your mind? I asked you a question, and you seemed lost. What were you thinking about?" Maureen inquired, and I sighed deeply again. "Maureen, you won't believe what I saw today. I'm so confused," I told her, walking to one of the two black chairs in the room. "Tell me what happened. I was about to wake my mother for dinner before you arrived. Tell me, Amak

(Amaka's POV) The following morning, Maureen's fiancé arrived early to pick her up, and we helped her carry some boxes. Maureen wore a green nightdress, so she went to have her bath. When she came out, she put on a yellow top with a black skirt. She had this born-again look that made it difficult to know she was raised by a single mother. "Thank you, Amaka," Maureen said after applying simple makeup of white powder and lipstick. "I'm going to miss you," she hugged me again, and I smiled. "I'm only a phone call away. Don't worry, I'll come see you today after I get off work," I told Maureen as Chris arrived at 6:30 a.m. to pick her up. "Okay," Maureen hugged me and turned to look at Jason, who walked into the room wearing a white singlet, blue boxers, and black slippers. He looked at us, confused, wondering where Maureen was going since she usually got him ready for school. "I'm going to miss you, Jason," Maureen walked up to my son, carried him, and Jason smiled, wondering where

(Joseph's POV) Early in the morning, I awoke in my bed and prepared to leave for the office, since Nina and I had slept in separate rooms. Nina slept in the guest room downstairs, while I slept alone in my room. After getting out of bed, I showered, standing under the water. I recalled returning home the previous night and seeing Nina in my house. I wasn't happy that Nina came to live with me, but I couldn't protest her staying here. It was high time I got married. I finished showering, walked out of the bathroom, went to my closet, and dried myself. Next, I put on a black suit and prepared to leave for my office. Even the work project I brought home the previous night, I wasn't able to work on, so I planned to work on it in my office. I didn't feel like staying home. After putting on my black shoes, I grabbed my briefcase and car keys and left my house. As I walked out of my bedroom and sitting room on the top floor, I made my way downstairs. It was bright, the clouds were

(Amaka's POV) As I sat in my chair, Simon came and told me not to think too much about Joseph's fiancée. He tried to engage me in conversation, telling me about Joseph being one of the coolest bosses he'd ever worked with. "I'm telling you, Amaka, you shouldn't worry about our boss. At first, I thought he'd be smitten by you, but seeing his fiancée today gives me a green light to chase after you," Simon smiled as he sat on his chair. "Really? But I'm not interested in men. I just want to work, have money, and care for myself. Men are liars, pretenders, and cheaters," I said, looking at Simon's handsome face. Simon gasped. "Wow! Seems like you've been in a failed relationship before?" "Not just failed, but the worst of it," I said, looking away to my computer as I tried to upload the details of the new product I was advertising online. There was silence, and after a while, Simon said, "I've also been in a failed relationship. I did everything to make it work, but the lady was a c

(Nina's POV) I wasn't impressed that I caught Joseph staring at that pretty blonde lady, not once or twice. Whenever I asked him, he'd say she was just a new staff member and he was wondering why Simon was taking care of her. Why should Joseph be bothered about this lady? When I arrived at the company with Joseph, my motive was to find out if he was seeing any woman there and to 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. Also, he was handsome and a bad boy, so many female staff might be drooling over him, or he might be interested in someone in his office. I saw when this lady looked at me in shock. One thing I didn't like was that her office was right beside Joseph's, and he was looking at her face several times, thinking I was busy on my phone. I wanted to confront this lady to know if she was seeing Joseph, but from her reaction, she hadn't given me any reason to suspect she was,
