A Mistaken Night With The CEO 115: Mother's illness 2
Derrick rushed back downstairs and headed to his mother's room, as he heard the noise and the sound of cars driving out from their mansion."What happened?" he asked a maid, as it hadn't been long since he left his mother and went upstairs to freshen up."Madam isn't feeling too well, and Aunty Nicole has taken her to the hospital with the help of a guard," one of the maids replied to him."Hmm," Derrick frowned. He left the corridor of the right wing of the mansion and stepped into the living room where Oliver and Nicole's two kids were seated at the dining room table, having their dinners.The time was past 10 PM, and only Oliver was still there eating, as Frank and Rita had finished their meals."I will be back. You should keep an eye on the children," Derrick told one of the two nervous maids who had worried expressions on their faces. He swiftly went upstairs to his room, grabbed his phone, and went back downstairs, leaving the mansion and getting into his car.He had been trying

"Why did you end my phone call?" Derrick asked her, and Miranda rolled her eyes as she was nervous to speak with him online.It was her quest to know if he had a woman there with him. But he was alone, although the background didn't look like his bedroom. She was familiar with his room."Where are you? With your slut?" she texted him, and Derrick responded, "Your wish. I am at the hospital with my mother. She felt sick and hadn't been eating well. She got admitted today." He sent her a picture of his mother on the hospital bed, and Miranda's eyes welled up with tears."Is she getting better? I'm so sorry to hear that," she texted, not knowing exactly when she replied to him.Derrick sighed and told her, "My mother misses you.""Hmm," Miranda hummed, not knowing how she would tell Derrick that she wanted to go and see his mother. She would have loved to visit Lady Loretta. But how would Larry react?"Can you come to see her?" Derrick asked, although a part of him knew that Miranda woul

"Hello," Miranda said, and Larry observed that she didn't call him "babe.""Good morning, babe. Where are you?" Larry asked, to which Miranda frowned and replied, "I'm going somewhere.""Where?" he asked her, and she replied, "It's confidential. Business matters. Can we discuss it when I return?""Hmmm," Larry hummed and asked, "When will you be back?""Saturday.""What!" Larry gasped, suspecting that Miranda was lying to him. "Where exactly is this business matter ongoing that you fail to inform me about it? Babe, I don't like it when you keep your business away from me," Larry complained."I'm sorry," Miranda told him."It's okay, you don't have to apologize for it. Only that I would have loved to follow you there. You know I don't like to keep my distance from you," he said."I'm aware," she replied, and there was silence on the call."Take care of yourself, babe, and when you get there, give me a phone call," he said, to which she responded, "Okay, goodbye.""Won't you tell me tha

"Stop it, Erica. We weren't in a relationship. Why do you make it difficult to move on? I only wanted a fling and told you, and now you wouldn't allow me to rest. Beside, you ain't the only woman I had something with. Just forget about me and try to move on," Derrick said, his face remaining stoic as he spoke to Erica."It's easy for you to say, but I cannot stop thinking about you. I'm in love with you, CEO Derrick; please give me a chance. Besides, your child's mother doesn't want you. She's in a serious relationship with my older brother, and they're planning to get married next month," Erica said, and she saw Derrick's eyes darken at the mention that Miranda was getting married to Larry."Has their wedding date been fixed?" Derrick asked with a shaking voice, as it felt like his heart had been stabbed with a knife."Yes," Erica lied. Although she knew if she supported Larry, Her parents would be ready to give Larry and Miranda their blessings."Leave now. I don't think the wedding

Derrick went upstairs to his bedroom to freshen up. He was stressed but, at the same time, happy to know that Miranda cared about his mother. He had thought that she hated him, but he felt a bit relieved when he saw her arrive. He also planned on getting Erica arrested, as he wouldn't allow the fact that she slapped Miranda to slide."Erica came here to my house and attacked Miranda. How dare she?" Derrick was enraged in his room. He excused himself from Miranda to take a bath and to avoid making her uncomfortable, knowing that she wouldn't have visited him if he hadn't told her his mother was in the hospital.Derrick's fists clenched, as he wasn't expecting to see Erica either. He had blocked her, so what did she want?"Why can't she move on?" Derrick muttered to himself in his bedroom, knowing that Miranda might suspect he and Erica were dating or maybe had broken up. And he wasn't happy about that.It was just a hookup, not like he and Erica were lovers."Ugh," Derrick considered c
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 120: Erica's arrest
At the Harrison mansion, Erica Harrison was annoyed as she remembered seeing Miranda at Derrick's mansion."That bitch. So truly, she has slept with Master Derrick," Erica sat in her car, cursing Miranda. She was bitter to know that Miranda had slept with Derrick and, not only that, Miranda has a child with him."What am I going to do now? How do I get rid of her?" Erica pondered as she contemplated calling Larry."Does he know that Miranda went to see Derrick? I cannot believe she's cheating on my brother with Derrick Luis," Erica said, and she swiftly retrieved her phone from her handbag. She brought out her phone to call Larry, as she couldn't shake off the feeling that Larry wasn't aware of Miranda going to visit Derrick.The phone call rang and connected.Meanwhile, Larry was in his office at his bank branch when he saw his phone ringing and picked it up."Hello, sister," Larry said, picking up Erica's call, and he heard her response, "Good afternoon, brother. How is your day and
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 121: Alone with him
Miranda had just finished having her dinner with her kids and Derrick, who kept looking at her face as he watched her eating. However, as she stood up to leave the living room and clear the plates to the kitchen, she still thought she was a maid in the mansion. Derrick stopped her, saying, "You don't have to worry about clearing the plates; the maids will come to do it.""Oh, okay," Miranda replied, not looking up at Derrick's face as she stepped away from her chair and asked him, "When are we going to see your mother?""Do you want to go and see her now? Although all my elder sisters are there, I was thinking why not stay with us? Later, we can go and see her," Derrick said, meeting Miranda's disapproving look directed at him.Miranda knew that she had switched off her phone because of Larry. She gulped and told Derrick, "I didn't plan to stay here until tomorrow. I just want to see your mother and for her to know that I care about her."Derrick was through with his meal as his appet

"Hello, Austin. What is it?" Derrick asked as he picked up his ringing phone in the sitting room."The policemen have arrested Ms. Erica Harrison as you instructed," Austin relayed, and Derrick felt satisfied to hear that."That's fine. Get back to work," Derrick replied as he ended the call.He turned to face Miranda, who looked away from him."You don't have to worry about the slap; it will subside," Miranda said, wanting to leave Derrick's sitting room as she felt jealous, thinking it was one of his female friends who had called him."You shouldn't be acting stubbornly, Miranda. I understand you don't want to forgive me, but you're here because of my mother. So you have to look good before her. Come and sit; let me help you ice your cheek. I won't bite," Derrick said with a smile, but Miranda frowned."I will do it by myself," she replied, walking up to him to collect the ice pack.Derrick caught Miranda's arm and dragged a seat out for her to sit down beside his bar. He picked up
