Though Alex had other plans to discuss with Derrick as to his staying for a while in the Luis mansion,.Alex wore a white robe too, and black trousers were paired with black slippers. He was taken aback by the revelation that Juliet had a son. And despite him confronting Juliet about the paternity of her son the previous day, she refused to speak to him.Alex didn't know Juliet's family house, and he hadn't planned on becoming a father soon. His mother had told him that he needed some business training from Derrick so as to impress his father and run his father's company. What Alex hadn't expected was to meet with Juliet again. He knew

Derrick subtly narrowed his eyes at Miranda as he saw her walk out of the bathroom. Without waiting to know what his mother had to say to Miranda, he muttered, "Mom, you can meet me in the dining room."After Derrick exited the room, the rest of the other two maids stood motionless as they witnessed his earlier reaction in the early hours of the morning."Come with me, Miranda. You should go and serve my tea," Lady Loretta dismissed Miranda and went to the dining room to join her son.However as Lady Loretta stepped out, she saw the unfamiliar faces in her living room.Derrick had wanted to leave the house before, not wanting to see Miranda again, but after his mother called him. He had to wait.Sitting quietly in the dining room as a maid approached him and served his breakfast. Lady Loretta Inquired, "Derrick, who are these new faces?""Oh!

After having breakfast with his mother, Derrick rose from his chair and stepped out. "I have to head to the office, Mother. Take care." Derrick leaned over and pecked his mother on her left cheek. Alex rose from his chair to leave the dining room, and Derrick said, "Alex, you should prepare to go to the company tomorrow. You don't have to worry about your credentials anymore. I will have my assistant fix you into the company."Alex frowned, but just as he wanted to refuse, saying that he needed a week's break. Miranda was through with her breakfast, and she walked out to the vast living room again to keep her used dish in the kitchen.Derrick remembered his previous statement about terminating Miranda's contract with them. But knowing his mother was protecting her, he looked away and exited the mansion.Derrick strode up to his car and got inside. His chauffeur started the car engine and drove off to the Luis group.Due to Alex's visit, Derrick arrived at his company late. It was pas

Miranda felt unease as she didn't know why Alex had been following her since the afternoon. He sent her on errands, and now he was boldly standing beside her, not caring if she lost her job.Miranda wanted to distance herself from the tall man standing beside her. He was different from Derrick. He talked a lot and was more friendly to approach.Most of the maids were also discussing that they liked him, unlike the boss. But with Juliet there, the maids had to only gossip behind Juliet's back.Juliet was irritated on seeing Alex standing outside with Miranda."Miranda! Lady Loretta sent for you!" Juliet shouted, startling Miranda who wanted to take permission from Alex to leave his presence as she was also afraid of him and why he was pestering her.Miranda wasn't used to a guy summoning her all the time. Even Derrick never summoned any of the maids like that. At first, Miranda had thought that was how Alex was calling the other maids, but it later dawned on her that he was only after
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 16_ Walls with ears
"Ha!" Most of the maids gasped, not expecting Alex to be so shameless and Juliet to lose her temper enough to deliver a factory-resetting slap to Alex.His black eyes surged with anger as they narrowed at her."How dare you raise your hands to hit me? Have you gone mad?" Alex queried as he seized Juliet by the wall, his hand clutching her neck.Juliet hadn't expected Alex to retaliate. Gasping for air, she cursed him, "You're such an asshole, and I regret ever getting pregnant as a result of that night with you. You can never be my son's father or see him. You disgust me."Alex's hand immediately loosened from Juliet's neck, and she slumped to the floor.Some of the maids had gone to report to Lady Loretta about what was happening in the maids' quarters. The older woman rushed there just as Alex finally let go of Juliet."What's going on here, Alex? What did you do to her? Get help quickly and check if she's alright," Lady Loretta yelled and coughed while Alex carried Juliet, who had

After dinner with his mother ended, Derrick escorted her to her bedroom. Knowing that she was worrying about the maids and the incident that had happened earlier, he spoke to her, "Mom, you see the reason I told you earlier to send that maid away."Lady Loretta smiled after she walked into her room and settled on her lush white bed. She told Derrick, "No, Derrick. Miranda is not at fault here and I cannot understand why you dislike her so much."Derrick frowned after hearing his mother's statement."Mom, I do not dislike her, only that I feel she's up to something fishy here. I don't want any of them troubling you. As I will also be troubled with that," Derrick cleared his mother's doubt.Seeing the sincerity in her son's eyes, that he truly cares for her, Lady Loretta agreed, "That's alright. I am sure the incident wouldn't happen again. But you shouldn't send any of them away.""Okay, mother. I won't. Will you be needing anything else, or should I return now to my room?" Derrick inq
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 18_ Sudden knock
Alex looked perplexed as he watched Derrick leave him and climb the flight of stairs.Not wanting to accept Derrick's rejection, Alex quickly chased after Derrick. "Why, uncle? You cannot tell me not to date Miranda. I am not trying to play with her. I sincerely want her. I know she's a maid here, and she told me she lost her mother at a young age and grew up at the orphanage."Derrick frowned as he walked into his sitting room on the top floor. He turned to look at Alex and said, "I don't care if she's a maid here or not. All I am saying is that you had an affair with Juliet and you should try to settle scores with Juliet first. You shouldn't dare to sleep with Miranda here, and know that my mother particularly treasures that maid. If not, I could have her terminate her contract before your recent arrival here."Alex scowled as he heard Derrick say that. Derrick strolled away to his bedroom door, and Alex said, "Uncle, maybe mother wants you to marry the maid, since you say she treas
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 19_ Perspiring again
Carefully pulling the door open, Miranda was shocked to see Alex Jackson standing there in front of her room door."Hi, I wanted to have a conversation with you." Before Alex could complete his statement, Miranda quickly slammed the door hard on his nose, as she was afraid, wondering what he came there to do. The sound of the door slammed hard, alerting the rest of the maids, and they rushed out to know what that was.Seeing Alex standing behind Miranda's room door, the maids bowed to leave, but Alex was hungry, so he quickly called one of the maids, as he was embarrassed and enraged, not expecting Miranda to disrespect him, and she reacted the way that she did.His nose also hurt and he twitched in pain. He told one of the maids, "Come here; go and get my dinner."Ella was stunned and afraid, not expecting to see Alex in the maids quarters. Even Derrick hardly came there to see them, but not like Alex was there for Juliet; he was clearly after Miranda.Ella quickly left the kitchen t
