A Mistaken Night With The CEO 119| Enjoying their meals
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
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 122: Cooling her cheek
"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
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 123: Feeling disappointed
Larry arrived at the city center in the evening at around 5 PM and drove straight to the Luis mansion, believing that Miranda would be there. He was enraged that she had lied to him about traveling to meet her business partner."How can she lie to me and go to Derrick's house? I cannot allow Derrick and Miranda to wed. Miranda is my wife," Larry affirmed to himself, thinking about the years he had spent bonding with Miranda and pursuing her. Now that they were supposed to tie the knot, she was backsliding.Larry took a U-turn and headed to the Luis estate. Erica had already briefed him that she had attacked Miranda and saw her with her own eyes—not like she was guessing.Larry recalled that he had advised his sister to move on since Derrick didn't love her, but Erica was just too stubborn to listen. He sighed as he finally arrived at the estate gate, where the security men stopped him."Who are you here to see?" the security man at the main estate gate asked Larry.Larry frowned, reca
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 124: Feeling at home
Miranda was tense in the sitting room after Derrick left her and went back to his room. She stood up from the chair and walked to his bedroom door to knock and beg him to release Erica from police custody.Derrick stood on his bedroom balcony, gazing out at the estate premises when he saw Larry drive his car into the driveway and park it.His fists clenched upon seeing that his elder sister had returned, and he moved back to his bedroom to welcome them since his afternoon nap had been interrupted.However, as Derrick pulled his bedroom door open to exit the room, he met gazes with Miranda."Can we talk? Please, you shouldn't have arrested Erica. You should let her go," Miranda said as she stood nervously in front of Derrick, fidgeting with her fingers as she watched him pull his bedroom door open.Derrick looked at Miranda's face, unsure of how to respond."Your fiancé is here to see you," he told her, watching her brows draw into a thin line."Who?" Miranda asked, and Derrick smiled,
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 125: In his car
"Larry?! What are you doing here?" Miranda asked, taken aback by surprise to see Larry, as she hadn't expected to see him. She was still relishing the fact that Derrick's family loved her, while Larry's family didn't.Larry frowned as he saw Derrick walk out of the mansion first. But Derrick didn't acknowledge him as he strolled up to his car parked in the garage with Oliver."Hello, Uncle!" Oliver waved to Larry, still holding Derrick's hand, not wanting to miss the opportunity to hang out with his father.Larry's brows knitted as he looked back at Miranda, who frowned and walked up to meet him."What are you doing here?" she asked, surprised to see him standing there and looking handsome in his black suit while he smiled back at her."I came here to pick you up, babe. Why didn't you inform me that you were coming over to Derrick's house?" Larry queried her, noticing Miranda frown and look away from him.Derrick approached one of his sleek black cars parked in the garage, trying hard
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 126: Hospital visit
Miranda held her purse as she walked into the hospital with Derrick. Derrick was holding Oliver's hand; the young boy didn't want to let go of his father's hand either.Miranda could feel the gazes of other patients visiting the hospital upon them. As it was night, the hospital's white LED lights were fully switched on, making the lobby bright.As Derrick knew the ward where his mother was admitted, he greeted the nurse and walked away.Bashfully, Miranda followed Derrick up to the top floor where his mother was admitted. As they walked out of the private elevator together, Miranda continued to gaze at Derrick's back, admiring him, but her mind was conflicted.Derrick, holding onto Oliver's hand, arrived at the front door of the ward where his mother was admitted. Just as he was about to pull the door open, Lady Celine and her immediate younger twin sisters, Olivia and Agnes, walked out of the room. They were dressed in similar long gowns and had their handbags slung over their should
