All Chapters of Mr. CEO I can't Be Hidden Anymore : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

(Amaka's POV) "Is everything alright?" Simon asked me, as I gasped loudly just as we stepped out of his office. "Yes. No. I mean, yes. I am fine," I told Simon. I internally scolded myself that I shouldn't have given Ethan my username. I prayed Ethan wouldn't reveal the truth to Joseph, before I got the chance to do so myself. "That's fine. You scared me like you forgot something. Are you sure you didn't forget anything in the office?" Simon asked, as we marched up to the elevator. "No, I didn't." I offered Simon a bright smile, and walked with him to the elevator. Anita stepped out of her transparent office that was adjacent to the boss's office and looked at us. "When did you two get along just after two days in the office? You should be careful, Amaka. Simon only wants to eat your cookies," Anita said, to which Simon glared at her. "Don't mind Anita. Let's go." Simon got into the elevator with me, as the door shut and led us to the bottom floor. I smiled and followed Simon

(Joseph's POV) On the second floor, I entered my sitting room and made my way to the bar to have a drink. "Damn it!" I growled as anger coursed through me. "How long do I keep pretending I don't know Amaka? Is that how women keep growing beautiful, even when you don't want to be concerned about her?" I muttered. I was irritated with the way I saw Amaka getting along with Simon, and I knew Nina would soon find out. Now that Nina had asked me about Amaka, I was sure Nina wasn't satisfied with my response. For goodness sake, I had many female staff. So how come my attention was only on one pretty blonde woman? I sighed, drinking whiskey from my glass, angry. I thought about how I would see Amaka, and the thought came to me. "Give Nina the role as my fiancé manager, so she wouldn't be around my office." Anita's office was right across from mine, in an open, enclosed space with glass walls. So, if I gave Nina the role as my secretary, she would see Amaka whenever Amaka was summoned t

(Nina's POV) After dressing in my bedroom, donning a white nightdress and black slippers, I walked out of the guest room and made my way to the dining room to see if Tope had set up our dinner. I let my blonde hair cascade down my back to dry, then saw that Tope was done setting up the table. I smiled at her and walked up to the dining table. After conversing with Tope and learning she had a child out of wedlock, I had more respect for her, knowing it wasn't easy being a single mother. Yet she cared for others and put her work first. The way she worked happily for Joseph made me wonder if she had any interest in him, but I realized Tope was just happy and focused on her job. "Is dinner ready?" I asked once I walked into the dining room. "Yes. I'm done preparing the yam and stew as you requested," she said. "Alright, let me go call Joseph. Or will you?" I asked, but she shook her head. "You can call him." I exited the dining room and went upstairs, climbing to Joseph's room. I

(Joseph's POV) "No. It's okay. I've already spoken to her, and calling her again wouldn't be nice because she seemed embarrassed after you scolded her. Just act like you don't know she exists. I can't date her, if that's what you're thinking," I had to clear the air between Nina and me. I couldn't believe Nina would react that way when we arrived and saw Amaka getting out of Simon's car again. My brows had furrowed upon seeing them, and I wondered if she was dating Simon now. Was that how loose she became after I moved on from her? I knew I was Amaka's first love, but I didn't want to tell Nina I had dated Amaka before; it was in the past. That would complicate things. After Nina had spoken to Amaka rudely, not minding the staff and customers arriving, I had to call Amaka and tell her not to be disrespectful to Nina. It was the hardest thing I had to do to make peace reign. Amaka didn't want to look at my face when I called her name and cautioned her. I was worried about her but

(Amaka's POV) "My goodness! What happened, Amaka? Where are you coming from?" Simon asked, as I rushed into the office. I was sure my face was a mess, but I didn't want to tell him yet. "I'm sick today, so I have to go home," I said, making a mental note to pick up Jason since I was leaving work early. "Oh my goodness. But you just left here in good shape. How come you're looking so red? Are you sure you're fine?" Simon asked again, and I nodded. "Yes. I'll be back tomorrow." I knew I wasn't going back. I couldn't stand Joseph, his pretense and lies. I couldn't be a part of it. So I signed out of my profile on the company's laptop and shut it closed. Simon stood watching as I grabbed my bag and angrily left the office. I was done. I had a peaceful life until I decided to look for a job. My blog was paying me massively, and so were other advertisements I did. I quickly hailed a cab as soon as I got out of the company and went straight to my son's school. I told the driver to wa
