A Mistaken Night With The CEO 128: Feeling somber
Larry arrived at the city police station and parked his car in the lot. He was fuming, his thoughts consumed by the image of Miranda at Derrick's house."How could she lie to me just to be with Derrick? It’s clear that she doesn't want to marry me because of him!" Larry slammed his fists on the steering wheel. He was enraged. He loved Miranda, wanted to marry her, and give her the good life she deserved. But today, he felt betrayed, doubting her sincerity and beginning to lose hope of her ever becoming his wife.After a few moments, Larry finally exited his car and headed into the police station to see his sister. At the very least, he needed to find out if Erica would be granted bail. As he entered the station, he saw Erica stepping out of the cell and approaching the counter. Her father had settled her bail, and she had signed an agreement to never approach Derrick Luis again.Erica wore a deep scowl on her face. *That bitch!* she cursed Miranda in her mind. It never occurred to Eri
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 129: Unexpected hug
Miranda was still lost in her thoughts, thinking about Larry's reaction. She knew he wasn't happy with her, especially with the added fact that Erica had been arrested.Miranda ate her meal slowly, while Derrick's two elder sisters, who were present, had already finished theirs. They wiped their lips and stood up to leave the dining table."Good night, Derrick. Miranda, we’ll chat more tomorrow; we traveled a long way to see our mother," said Lady Evelyn, and Miranda smiled."Okay, Ma. Good night," Miranda replied as the two women left the dining table, leaving her, Derrick, and Oliver alone.Miranda expected Derrick to bother her as his sisters had just departed up the stairs to the living room. However, Derrick finished his meal without casting a glance at her."Dad, what about Rita and Frank?" Oliver finally asked about his cousins, noticing they were not around. They had been there earlier before he followed his father to the hospital."They’ve gone to their father’s house, Oliver
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 130: Night together
Miranda finished bathing when she heard the subtle knock on her guest room door. She walked up to the door and pulled it open to see who was there. However, upon opening the door, she met face-to-face with Derrick."Huh, what do you want?" she asked him, not opening the door completely as she stood by the door and blocked his entry."Can I come in?" Derrick asked her, despite seeing that she was wrapped in only a white towel around her chest."No. It's late now. Goodnight and sleep tight," Miranda replied, still standing by the door frame as she peeked out her head and responded to him."Wait," Derrick took more steps closer to meet her, and he said, "I know that you want me. But that's not why you should be pretending.""Mmmm," Miranda was rendered speechless. She couldn't explain why she had hugged him either, and she tried to clarify the reason."Um, it's nothing. I just wanted to thank you for looking after Oliver and making him happy," she said."Hmm," Derrick turned to leave, an
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 131: Son's suspicion
Derrick felt elated as he walked out of Miranda's room, which was the old guest room she was using before on the left wing of the mansion. The maids on duty greeted him, surprised to see him strolling out of Miranda's room in just a white robe, barely covering his chiseled chest as he leisurely walked away."Good morning, Aunt," Derrick greeted Lady Evelyn, who was dressed in a light pink nightgown and seated on the living room couch, supervising the maids doing their work. It had been a long time since she last visited her father's house, and now that she was around, she took time admiring the view."Morning, Derrick. Where are you coming from?" Lady Evelyn gazed upward at Derrick's face and saw him smiling. She also noticed he was coming out of the maid's lounge."I went to check on my wife, Aunt. How was your night?" Derrick inquired, smiling. "Are you going to see Mum this morning?" he asked while Lady Evelyn nodded."Yes, I will, but after we have breakfast," she replied with a s
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 132: Her feelings
Larry awoke in his family's house, and the first thing he did was pick up his phone and dial Miranda's number."Hello, the person you're trying to call is unavailable at the moment. Please hold or call back later," he heard the voice say.Larry frowned and tried calling Miranda's number once more. "Oh! Why is she not responding to my call?" he wondered as he continued to try the number, but there was no response from her side."I cannot visit the Luis mansion today. I went there yesterday, and yet Miranda left me and accompanied Derrick to see his mother. Isn't it obvious that she desires to be with Derrick Luis more than she wants me?" Larry pondered, feeling frustrated as he truly loved Miranda."Where did I go wrong with her? I waited patiently for her, despite Mom and Dad not supporting my relationship with her," Larry tried to fight back tears, doubting he would ever be in love with any other woman as much as he loved Miranda.Consoling himself, he got out of bed, went to bathe,
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 133: Her feelings 2
Derrick unlocked the car door for Oliver to sit in the back with him, while Miranda quickly jumped into the front seat, as she didn't want to share any close space with Derrick.He smiled, understanding that she was avoiding him, but he tried not to dwell on it. He unlocked his side door, got into the car, and Josh started the engine and asked, "Where to, boss?""To the hospital," Derrick replied, as he gazed out the window after buckling his seatbelt.Miranda took out her phone from her bag, which she was clutching, and she finally switched it on to look at her phone screen. She didn't see any missed calls from Larry, but she knew he would have tried calling her to know how she was.Miranda felt guilty but silenced her phone. Her heart was in turmoil, and she finally made a decision to approach Larry and discuss it with him.The car soon arrived at the vast hospital in the city center and parked in the parking lot. Derrick got out of the car first and went to assist Oliver in getting
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 134: Apologies to her again
Miranda stood there for a while and saw Derrick emerge from a door, which she assumed was the restroom. She used the opportunity to speak to his mother, "Mom, we will start going home. When will you be discharged? I came here to spend some time with you.""I know, my dear. By the weekend, I will return home, but why not spend time with my son? You know that he likes you unless you have work to do in the area where you live and work."Miranda looked downward. She was the boss, and her absence didn't affect her business since she had trusted workers working for her."I know, Mom. I just want to be with you and serve you again if that will make you better," Miranda said."No. You're not my maid, but my daughter. It's okay if you don't want to be my daughter-in-law," Lady Loretta added, just as Derrick approached them. He heard her response to Miranda and frowned."Mom, what are you telling her?" he inquired."Nothing. You both are free to head home. Allow me to rest, and don't add to my
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 135: Time together
Miranda's heart was still in turmoil about how Larry would react. But she decided not to spoil the moment with Derrick, after she saw that he was indeed sorry for all his arrogant nature to her before. She smiled and walked with him into the house, as he was her first love, and he held her by her shoulders.Derrick led Miranda to the dining table. "Come, let's have our lunch first," he said. Making no attempt to go to his office as he wanted to spend more time with Miranda.He was glad that she had forgiven him and accepted to be with him. But they had Larry to do with it.Derrick knew he didn't have a close relationship with Larry, so he was prepared for Larry's reaction.As they neared the table, Oliver was sitting there alone, while Derrick and Miranda approached to join him, just as a maid was dishing out Oliver's meal."Oliver, you didn't even wait for your Mom and I to join you for lunch," Derrick teased Oliver as he pulled a chair out for Miranda to take her seat first.
