บททั้งหมดของ Mr. CEO I can't Be Hidden Anymore : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Joseph's POV:I sat in my office waiting for Anita to bring my lunch from the cafeteria.A few minutes later, she arrived with a smile on her face."Here's your lunch, sir," she said as she approached my desk and placed the meal down."Do you need anything else, sir?" Anita asked, and I looked at her face."No, you can leave my office," I replied. She smiled and left.I opened the meal and resumed eating, conscious of the time.My phone rang, and I saw that Danna was calling me."Hello, big bro," she said once I answered."What's up?" I asked, and she grinned."Nothing. I just called to see if you're coming over. Mom asked if her grandson went to school today."I rolled my eyes at my sister's words."Her grandson? Why are you and Mom so obsessed with the boy when I don't even know if he's my child?" I protested."He is your child. Anyway, are you coming over? We close at 3:30 p.m., and most parents get here before 4 p.m. So you should be on time," Danna said, clearly wanting me to see

Amaka's POV:I finished putting on a red top and black skirt as I adjusted my appearance in front of the mirror."Jason's school has closed. I have to hurry and pick him up," I told myself as I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my hair and tying it into a bun.Once I was ready, I picked up my handbag and put a small amount of money in it for transport.My phone rang, and it was Maureen calling me."Hello, girlfriend," I answered her call and exited the room. Stepping into the living room, I turned off the light as I was leaving."How are you doing, Amaka? Have you gone to pick up my little husband from school?" Maureen asked, to which I replied, "No, I'm on my way. Do you want to go and pick him up?""No, I just miss you guys. I'm still in my shop because I went there today to adjust my wedding dress. It's too tight, and I had to loosen it a bit.""Alright. I'll stop by your shop since you're there. How about my bridesmaid gown? Have you sewn it yet?" I asked her."Yeah, I have.

Amaka's POV"You cannot be serious, Amaka?" Maureen said as she came into her shop to meet me.I sighed and went to her fridge to grab a cold bottle of water for myself as I was feeling hot."Well, I am. I am serious. He is Joseph's friend. And guess what happened today?" I asked Maureen, who still looked stunned and unhappy to hear that the new man was Joseph's friend."What happened? You know that I'm not a good guesser. Go on and tell me all that happened. You mean that handsome man is friends with Joseph?"Maureen looked irritated, and I smiled and told her to calm down."Relax, Maureen. Besides, I haven't accepted him yet. But he said that he doesn't care if I have a child, and he also knows that my child belongs to Joseph.""What??" Maureen gasped again as she watched me open the bottle and drink from the chilled water in my hand. Jason came up to meet me, requesting to drink from my water too."Wait, Jason. This is too cold. Let me look for a little cold water." I went to the f

Amaka's POV:Walking up to meet Maureen and Chris as the guests resumed presenting their wedding gifts to them. I didn't shop for anything, so I wrote out a check for 2 million and came to present it to my friend."Here's my wedding gift to you and Chris. Happy marriage to you both," I told Maureen, and she hugged me happily and replied, "Thank you! I wish you were the next in line to wed.""Maureen!" I smiled, and we stood together and took photos. I told her, whispering into her ear, "I have to go home since the celebration will last until late at night.""No, Chris and I will soon be leaving. I told him I didn't like big events like this," Maureen whispered back, and I told her, "Enjoy your day. I am happy for you."After sharing one last hug, I set out to leave the event, knowing that Maureen's mother and relatives, along her new family, would handle everything for her. Besides, she was going for her honeymoon with Chris.I moved over to the table where Jason sat with the other ki

Joseph's POV:I woke up in my room to the sound of my phone ringing. I had a slight headache. Sitting up in my bed and looking around my room, frowning, I recalled the events of the previous day.I had a terrible day out, getting drunk and wasted that I had to call Lady Tope to come and pick me up. It was quite embarrassing because she wasn't my wife, but it was manageable as she understood that I had been going through a hard time.I stepped down from my bed as I was fully clothed. I didn't even have the time to take off my clothes. I recalled getting nauseated and vomiting in my bedroom, but Lady Tope had cleaned all that up."Dammit. What am I doing to myself? Because of Amaka, my life had been perfect. I was planning on getting married before Amaka came back into my life and crashed everything. Now, I was left with my father's threat that I must marry her, else, I risk losing everything that I had worked so hard for."I was enraged because Amaka didn't want me. She didn't give a d
