>>>> Chima's P.O.V >>>>
What the heck …
This stupid girl spent another night in my house!
Which caused me to lie to Amanda about last night. That I can't make it cos I have to leave early to work but the truth is that it's this bi**h sitting comfortably on my couch, watching Tv that made me say that.
This morning!
God! What does Ada want with me. What do I just do with her.
I'm seriously throwing her out today.
I can't take this shits anymore.
I walked in front of her and she stupidly smiled.
'Hey Chima. You don wake(you're awake already) ." She said.
'You see Ada!" I snapped.
'See what?" She asked, staring.
'I no know wetin bring you come my house for three days now! But e don do(I don't know what brought you to my house but it's over now). I'm throwing you out if you don't respect your useless self and get out of my house." I said.
She rolled her eyes and chuckled.
'Remember I have her mobile numbers." She said.
'And so fucking what?" I yelled.
She smiled.
'Remember you need a huge amount of money from her huh?" She said.
'Yes and I will get it." I barked.
'Then throw me out and see if you will." She said and smiled.
I clenched my fist,
'F**k you. Amanda is under my love control. She will never believe you." I barked.
She tilted her head with a smile,
'Oh almost did Chima, that you lied to her that am your niece.. I could tell her more." She said.
God! I felt like killing her!
'What the hell do you want from me Ada! Why did I ever had to meet you!" I yelled.
'Ohh.. now you regretting why you met me? After you don enjoy me finish abi.(After sleeping with me huh..) "
'Tell me what you want from me you bi**h!" I was fuming in anger.
She smiled, uncrossed her crossed legs, stood up and came close to me, with her fingers on my chest.
'I want you Chima . I want you." She said as she bit her bottom lip seductively.
I pushed her away.
'Fine! But why don't you just get out of my house. You can still have me without being here in my house. Na business you wan spoil for me!" I barked.
She laughed.. 'I can't leave. I'm here to stay for a month with you." She said and I almost slapped her.
She rolled her eyes, 'Don't you dare!" She said and sat back down.
'Ada you are leaving this house." I said firmly.
'Then you are loosing your money and your millionare girlfriend as well." She said with a grin
And laughed…
I fumed a little and stormed back into my room.
I got to deal with this girl.
And very fast before she do something stupid and make me loose the huge money I'm about getting from the dummy, Amanda.

>>> Amanda's POV (cont.)>>>
Louis came back few minutes later and gently sat at the opposite sit.
I indeed waited for him and used that opportunity to send a message to Chima but he haven't replied.
I've also called two times but he didn't pick up.
I'm worried and scared.
Another thing, I made an immediate order from a close mall for two shirts, two boxers, two pairs of trousers and a cute slippers.
For Louis.
Which will be here in no time.
'Eat up." I said and he began eating.
I followed up but my mind was drifted to Chima.
Why didn't he pick up his calls?
Oh he told me he'do leave very early to work.
I guess he's already at work and really busy.
That's why.
I shook thoughts outta my head as I ate my meal.
I was glad he didn't talk till he finished up his meal.
Even though ‘his meal was way more bigger than mine, He finished up before me and drank down the whole of his bottle water, without even bothering about the glass cup.
'Thank. You Aunty Amanda." He said.
I rolled my eyes. 'I will beat you oh.. Are you so clumsy to understand that I hate being called ‘Aunty' ?" I said.
He shook his head.
'Im. Sorry. I will. Learn. It." He said coldy.
His face have been down all the while.
*
He sat still till I was done with my meal.
He then stood up and was about taking the plate when I stopped him.
'Drop it. " I said.
Just then, we heard the knocks on the gate.
Im sure it's the Delivery man.
I stood up, carried the plates to the sink.
'Don't dare step out of here till I'm back. Get that?" I said to Louis and he nodded.
'Good." I walked out and over to the entrance door, pulled it open, went out to the gate and I opened it, I was right. It was a delivery guy.
With my orders in a cute fancy red bag.
'Goodmorning ma'am." He said with a well practiced smile and I returned it with my own smile.
'Come in." I said and he did.
We got the door and I opened it.
'Come on in." I said with a light smile.
'No ma'am. We deliver just at your doorstep." He said and stood.
'Oh.. Then, lemme go get the money." I said and closed back the door.
I rushed to my room, took out ten twelve thousand from my bedside-table drawer and rushed back to the entrance door.
I opened the door, gave him the money and took the bag which I peeped in just to be sure It was what I ordered.
'Thanks Ma'am for buying from Jumia online buying." He said, turned and left, I followed him to close back the gate.
When I came back, Louis was out, in the living-room.
Standing like a tree and staring at what I held.
'I thought I told you not to step out till I come back." I said.
He nodded.
'Take. Go take your bathe and wear something new." I said and he took the bag and looked into it.
He then smiled widely, looked at me with wide eyes and a wider smile.
He looked really cute. Tola was right. I just figured out..
Gosh! I saw what was coming, but before I could restrain.
He was already hugging me tight.
What the heck!!!
AT WORK
>>> Amanda's P.O.V >>>
At work, I couldn't hide it from Tola.
I told her about Louis knocking at my gate last night and asking me to save him which I did after battling with my thoughts..
Then he had to spend the night at the guest room cos he was crying that he doesn't wanna go out and the childish manner in which he talks which made Tola laugh so well.
Told her also about the way he ate there at the dinning and how awkwardly I saw him sleep. Which she laughed too.
‘But' I excluded the ‘Seeing him naked' part.
I just can't tell her that ‘I saw him unclad'.
Goodness me.
'God! That guy is really an Baby-guy " She said.
I chuckled.
'I ordered clothes for him this morning and gave him some money to feed himself for awhile". I narrated.
She shook her head.' Seriously that cute guy needs help. What do we do?" Tola asked.
'I don't know, but the truth is that he hugged me when I gave that clothes to him. I feel I could help this guy but I don't wanna admit that." I said truthfully.
Tola gasped, 'He hugged you like for real?" she asked.
'Yeah. He was so happy. Im telling you the truth dear friend, his childish way kind of make him around. You can't believe while I was in my office, I was thinking of looking for him so he'do spend another night in my house. It's so funny right?." I said and she twisted her lips.
'It's not. There's nothing wrong with that friend." She said.
I sighed.
'I really wanna ask him about his home, his family. He told me he has no home since a year now. Can you believe that? Im thinking there's something behind his childish behaviour." I said.
She shrugged.
'Well, I guess you should ask him about his family." She said.
>>>> Tola's P.O.V >>>>
I remembered Chima .
I saw him in the morning at the filling-station.
He came to fill his car likewise me.
I talked with him and I can't believe what he begged me after.
He told me not to let Amanda know that I saw him.
Seriously, I asked why but he just begged me instead not to do it and then drove off.
I hate that guy.
Amanda is so blind to see what he is really made of.
He thinks I can cover him up so he'll keep hurting my friend, but to hell with him.
He came to the wrong girl anyways.
I looked at Amanda with a wide smile, I need to find out why he wanted me to keep that from her.
'So we've been talking about Joy Weirdo. What about Chima ?" I asked.
She smiled. Always the way she do when Chima is mentioned.
Someone is really loving the wrong person here.
I wish I could just smack that stupid love for Chima out of her head.
'He's fine. He told me he had to leave really early to work today. He's really hardworking you know." She said, causing my mouth to drop open.
'Chima left early to work?" I asked, cos the Chima I saw, was at the filling station by 8am.
'Yeah." She said.
'How early?" I asked.
'Umm.. I think around six cos the time I called his lines and sent him a message was around seven. He called later telling me he was already at work by then." She said and I chuckled in total amazement.
Chima really is doing something behind her back..
'Why is your face like that?" She asked.
'My face? Nothing." I said.
She shrugged.
I couldn't tell her about it…
Chima is cheating on her again!
…………………………………………
>>> Amanda's POV (cont.) >>>
After work was over, I met with Tola and she said she had a date with Ebuka which she begged me to forgive her for not telling me earlier.
I smiled and waved her ‘Goodbye' as she ran off..
I was walking back to my office to pack up my things and head home when a really fair complexioned girl in a lab coat, tall and slim fitted walked towards and when she got to me, she greeted and was about walking away when I called her back.
'Are you one of the new Interns?" I asked her with my hands in my pockets.
'Yes ma." She answered with her head down.
'Your name?" I asked.
'Laura Adenuga." She answered.
'Go on." I said.
She walked away..
I smiled as I watched her.
She look like an halfcaste… natural and blonde hair packed in a ponytail.
She reminded me of Louis who also look like an halfcast.
I turned and walked to my office.
