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,

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. While O
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 136; Her excuse
Miranda couldn't explain when she would be back either. But remembering that she had only visited the Luis mansion to spend a week at least with Derrick's mother, she replied, "By the weekend.""Fine, I will be expecting to see you. Take care," Larry ended the phone call and knew that Miranda was sounding unhappy, like she wasn't in love with him again. "Why is she sounding hesitant on the call?" Larry pondered, but he decided not to worry himself about the fact that Miranda was considering Derrick. He was stressed out with the event of travelling to the city and returning back to focus on his office work."Let me just wait until her return," he said, and went to prepare his dinner since he had no one to cook for him either.***Meanwhile, Miranda looked at her phone screen after her phone call with Larry ended. She kept her phone, rose from the bed, and stepped out from the room to have her dinner since she was hungry.As she walked out to the dining room, the mansion was silent whil

Derrick returned to his room, pondering, "Why does she not want to leave Larry?" He sighed, picked up his phone, and went back to his sitting room to surf the internet, believing that Miranda would tell Larry that it was over between them.Derrick knew that he hadn't yet thrown away the engagement ring that Larry had used to propose to Miranda. He stood up from his couch, went back to his room, and pulled open his bed drawer, retrieving the ring that Larry had used to propose to Miranda.Looking at the intricate design of the diamond encrusted on the ring, Derrick sighed and took it with him as he headed back downstairs to the guest room to return the ring to Miranda.He recalled that she was still using her old room in the mansion, so he went there to see her and return the ring.Miranda was lying on the bed, trying to sleep, as her mind replayed the memories she had shared with Derrick the previous night. A knock on her room door interrupted her thoughts, so she rose from her bed an

Miranda laid on her bed and slept off. The next morning, she awoke and prepared to leave for the local town where she had her mall.She had kept in touch with Lady Blessing to know how her business had been ongoing. Also, she had her phone to receive notifications about her business.When she was through with her bath, Miranda took out her green gown from her bag and she donned it. She dried her hair and packed it into a bun. Once she was done applying a simple makeup of white powder on her face, she grabbed her bag and set to leave the house.As she was packing her phone and ensuring she hadn't forgotten anything, she wore a black shoe, and a knock on her door interrupted her."Who's there?" She asked from within the room, realizing she hadn't even locked up the door."Come in," she said, and the door pushed open as Lady Evelyn stepped into the room."Miranda, are you already leaving us?" Lady Evelyn asked as she walked into Miranda's room."Yes, Ma. I have some business to do, that'

After Miranda was through with her tea, she set to leave the house while she grabbed her bag and told her son goodbye.Oliver wasn't happy that his mother was leaving him, and he recalled that she had asked him who he wanted her to be with.As he was standing outside with his daddy, watching his mother get into the car, Oliver was crying, and Derrick, who hasn't comforted a child before, had to take the responsibility to comfort Oliver, who was seriously crying, thinking he wouldn't get to see his mother again."Why are you crying?" Derrick asked, as he crouched to meet his son's height.He carried the little boy up in his arms, but Oliver continued to cry as he watched his mother leave him. He wanted to follow his mother, he missed her, and he sobbed in his father's arms.Miranda saw her son crying, but she braced herself that she would have to leave. She forgot to collect Derrick's number, but luckily, she had him on her chat, so she decided to message him to let him know when she w
