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

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

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

Oliver wore a similar shirt design like Derrick's, along with black trousers and black shoes.They looked adorable as they walked into the big mall, browsing beautiful wedding dresses and accessories."Welcome, sir, madam. What would you like to purchase?" the sales assistant asked."Wedding gowns," Miranda said, and the young lady clad in a white top and black skirt showed Miranda the collection of wedding dresses they had."Wow, they're all pretty," Miranda smiled as she browsed through the long white gowns beautifully displayed on mannequins."Which do you prefer?" the young lady asked with a bright smile."All of them," she joked, and the sales representative laughed."Lovely!

One week later, it was a bright, sunny Sunday, and Miranda with Oliver was set to travel to the city with Derrick. She had already packed most of her essentials and delivered them to the city. What was left for her was to carry her last box, filled with her clothes and also Oliver's clothes.Most of her cars had been sent to the city as well, but she didn't intend to sell her house or close down her shop. Getting married to CEO Derrick Luis didn't mean that she should discard all her hard work.The sound of a car honking at her gate disrupted her thoughts. Wearing a pink floral dress and plain black shoes, Miranda walked out of her house and approached the black gate to find out who was there.She planned to rent the house once she completely moved out and settled in the city. She had dismissed her gate man, but the estate gatekeeper was still present.Upon reaching the gate, she pulled it open after confirming who was there."Derrick," she smiled, opening the gate for his driver to e

THE NEXT SUNDAY MORNING..Derrick was in Miranda's room, and he spoke to her about her business."Babe, you know that as we're getting married, we will need to know more about our businesses. To follow me to my company and also, make our business jointly together," Derrick said. He lay on the bed, watching Miranda brushing her teeth, as he finished speaking to her about his father's company."That's nice. There's nothing much about mine. You know, I was thinking about it. I won't be able to keep in touch with them here if I go with you. So can we open another branch in the city, while we base there?" she asked him, as she finished brushing her teeth in the bathroom."That's fine. I haven't considered that before. But we need to expand our business to more states," Derrick said.Miranda smiled and joined him on the bed after she was through brushing her teeth. She hugged him and kissed him directly on his lips."Babe, I'm discussing with you about our business, and all your focus is on

"Welcome," Miranda told Derrick as she hugged and kissed him lightly on his lips."Welcome, Dad," Oliver said, and Derrick smiled at him. "Thank you."They entered the house together and made their way to the couch."What's the delicious smell? Is your chef around?" Derrick asked about Emily, and Miranda blushed."No, Emily isn't my chef but my friend. Her mother works for me though, so I took her like my sister," she said, leading Derrick to the dining table, and he smiled as he settled on a chair beside her.Oliver took his seat beside Derrick, and Miranda stood beside Derrick and set his meal in front of them. She walked up to meet Oliver and placed his meal in front of him before she went to sit across from Derrick."How do you see the meal? It's my first time officially cooking," she blushed, observing Derrick's and Oliver's faces as they prepared to taste the food."Um, it's yummy, Mom," Oliver beams and smiled."It's nice," Derrick commented, and Miranda smiled at them and resp

When Derrick arrived in the city, he went home, getting the notification from Lady Stephanie that his mother was at home.As he arrived home, he walked into the house happily. "Mom!" Derrick rushed to meet her and hugged her.Lady Loretta sat on the couch and smiled as Derrick hugged her warmly. She knew he was in a good mood and had heard he went to meet Miranda."Welcome back, Mom," Derrick said, and his mother replied calmly, "Thank you. You look so happy. How are Miranda and Oliver doing?""They are fine, Mom," Derrick said, still smiling, and that made his mother look relieved."I am happy to hear that. It's good to see that she has forgiven you. So when did you both plan to marry?" Lady Loretta asked."Soon," Derrick said, standing up from the couch. "I will propose to her, I have lovely plans for that. So don't worry."Lady Loretta smiled, looking at Derrick's handsome face. "Okay," she agreed."I have to go upstairs and freshen up. How is your health now, Mom?" He looked at hi

Once Derrick and Oliver were in the room."Would you like to bathe?" Derrick asked his son."No, Dad. I am tired," Oliver replied and went to his bed to sleep."How do you see my room, Dad?" Oliver asked as he went to climb on his bed happily."It's beautiful and handsome like you. A typical boy's room," he replied and saw his son smile."Mom helped me to furnish it and buys a lot of game toys for me," he said, grinning from cheek to cheek."That's so sweet of her. I am sorry that I wasn't there with you before. But I promise to set up a bigger room for you in the city, okay," Derrick said as he moved over to his son's bed to meet Oliver.Oliver sat up on the bed and took off his socks."Okay, Dad," he replied and went to lay on the bed and drift to sleep.Derrick looked around his son's room, feeling guilty for being absent in his son's life. He finally walked up to cover him up with his small blanket, careful not to make any noise that would awake Oliver.After that, he turned off t

Derrick's car arrived at a fancy restaurant, and they got out of the car and went into the Restaurant building together. Miranda was nervous to be in the same space as Derrick. This was the first time that he was taking her out on a date.Derrick requested a private spot, and he was taken away with Miranda to the Restaurant's private section.Derrick could see that Miranda appeared nervous. He smiled at her and considered in his mind to get her a lovely wedding ring and to propose to her. But he wasn't confident to propose to her in a restaurant.Miranda sat down first, before Oliver and Derrick, as there were only three chairs surrounding a table where they sat."What would you like to have?" Derrick inquired. Miranda picked up the menu and replied, "Just chicken pepper soup is okay."She looked at her son and asked him, "What would you like to have, Oliver?""The same, Mom," Oliver smiled. He was happy that his parents were together."Okay, bring the same request for me too," Derric

Derrick looked from Miranda to Larry as Larry walked out of the house with a smirk."Good morning, Mr. Luis," Larry greeted Derrick, extending his hand for a handshake.Derrick looked at Larry's open right palm, not wanting to accept his hand. However, upon seeing Miranda looking at him, Derrick finally shook hands with Larry."You should consider yourself lucky that she chose you over me. Congratulations," Larry smirked and waved goodbye to Oliver.He walked away to his car while Derrick shifted his gaze and looked at Miranda.Miranda blushed as she watched Larry get into his car and drive off."What were you doing with him?" Derrick asked as he moved closer to meet Miranda by the door frame, just as Larry's car drove out of her residence."Mom!" Oliver let go of Derrick's hand and rushed to hug his mother, as he was also surprised to see Uncle Larry in his mother's house. Although Oliver knew they were friends, he didn't suspect anything bad."We are friends. So he came around to se

Derrick wasn't pleased that Miranda didn't respond to him after he had woken from his sleep and checked his phone for any possible missed calls. He decided to have his bath, bathe Oliver, and they dressed up in black suits, preparing to visit the local town. "Dad, where are we going to?" Oliver inquired as Derrick dressed him up in the room, combing his son's black hair. "We are going to see your Mom, and my company too," Derrick's reply was short, but Oliver giggled "Yay!" Oliver excitedly walked out from the room with Derrick, and they made their way downstairs. "Good morning, Aunt," Derrick greeted Lady Evelyn, who was around and wearing a white nightdress. She was a chubby woman and very tall in height. "Derrick, where are you and Oliver heading to? I almost forgot that you are controlling Dad's company. Because you're always at home," said Lady Evelyn. She sat on a chair at the dining table. Derrick smiled as he led Oliver to settle on their seat. "I just wanted to t
