As Alexa and Nicole excused themselves from the rest of the guests and went upstairs, Miranda was already alert and had heard their conversation. But any conversations having to do with Derrick, Miranda was equally alert.
The top floor was off-limits. Derrick hated to be disturbed, and Miranda was well aware of this. But she also wanted to know what Alexa and Nicole were going to do on the top floor.
Seeing how elegantly hot Alexa and Nicole looked in their beautiful dresses that swept the floor, Miranda was only jealous and wishing she wasn't a maid. Aside from being a maid, she had managed to gain some college education, but she couldn't resign her contract as a maid yet. Not when she admired the most handsome man on the planet.
"Ouch! Watch where you're going?" A guest yelled at Miranda for stepping on her toes and also losing her grip as the tray went off from her hands and stained the guest's dress.
"How dare you, lowly being, stain my white dress? Do you know how much this outfit cost?" The guest was equally annoyed. She was a young woman like Miranda's size, and seeing that the celebrant wasn't interested in his own party to meet with the guests that had arrived, that had only fueled the guest's irritation.
"I am sorry," before Miranda could render her apology to the guest. The guest landed Miranda a hot slap over on her left cheek.
[Slap!]
"You are not deserving to be a maid here! Get out!" The guest yelled, and her voice already turned the living room silent.
The Lady of the house was equally shocked, and she scolded the guest, "Melody, that's not how to treat your fellow lady. She only made a mistake and apologized to you while we were all here. Come, Miranda," Lady Loretta called Miranda back.
"Show Melody to the room above. I think Nicole still has some spare clothes left in her room, before she left us and got married last year."
"Okay, ma'am. Come with me," Miranda said to the angry lady who now looked happy to be taken upstairs for a change.
While guards were standing guard around the mansion and also in the living room, the jubilation continued in the living room as Miranda went upstairs with Melody.
Melody was happy to be away from the living room and she asked Miranda, "Where's Master Derrick's room?"
Miranda didn't want to be friends with the lady who had dared to molest her. The lady was equally fair-skinned like her. Miranda was naturally fair, even when she wasn't using any toning lotion to tone her skin.
"Can't you speak?" Melody yelled at Miranda again, and Miranda wouldn't have all that insult in a whole day from the guest scolding her.
"What do you need Master Derrick's room for? Are you here for the birthday party or you're here for the house master?" Miranda questioned the perplexed woman.
"What? How dare you speak to me in such insolent manners? Have you lost it?" Melody charged at Miranda and wanted to attack Miranda, who doesn't even know which of the rooms belong to Derrick or his sisters.
The mansion was too vast, and the rooms above were too many to know which room was the Master's or his sister's room.
However, just as the lady wanted to smack Miranda again, Derrick stepped out of his sitting room with his sister and Alexa as they came to check on him, just after he was through having a quick bath and changing into a comfortable home wear.
"What's going on here?" Derrick demanded, and Melody quickly withdrew her hand and offered Derrick a sweet smile.
"Good evening, sir. Madam sent this maid to show me to one of her daughter's rooms, to have a change of my outfit after she dare to spill wine on me. But the maid is rude, and she doesn't want to show me to the room."
"Ahh! That's a total lie. She was asking me for Master Derrick's bedroom," Miranda said. Silence immediately ensued the hallway. Much to Derrick's shock, Miranda's voice sounded so soft, and he hadn't heard anyone with such a soft tone before.
He eyed the maid mysteriously, as he hadn't seen her before.
"That's not why you should attack our maid. When you're not the owner of the house. I saw you just now wanting to attack her. Leave here now. You are not welcomed, and your contract with Luis firm will be terminated as well." Derrick said, casually walking toward the staircase to go downstairs, while Melody immediately went down on her knees and pleaded, "Please, Master Derrick. Forgive me. I didn't mean to attack the maid. She's lying, and I wasn't asking her for your room."
With leisurely strides, Derrick paid no heed to the lady begging him. He went downstairs to thank all the guests who had taken out their time to honor his mother's invitation.
After Derrick and his sister and Alexa left the top floor, the lady stood up and pounced on Miranda. She wanted to get her revenge on Miranda for making her lose her job and also, to lose her chances with the Master of the house.
"You witch! How dare you ruin my chances? I am going to kill you today!" The lady screamed. She was not prepared and didn't know that Miranda knows how to fight. As she rushed to attack Miranda, Miranda dodged the lady's attack and kicked the lady very hard, that she pounced on the spoiled lady and started beating the lady.
"Somebody help!!" The lady screamed out, after Miranda landed her multiple slaps on her cheeks in retaliation of the first slap that the lady had given to her.
Miranda sat on the lady's stomach on the tiled floor and slapped the lady very hard on her pretty fair face, also pulling the lady's wig off and tossing it away on the floor.
With the music playing in the living room, and the bodyguards had escorted Derrick downstairs to the grand hall, no one could hear the lady crying and screaming out.
Miranda dealt with the lady, after she was through. She ran away and went into one of the rooms to have a cool evening bath.
The birthday celebration had long ended, and Derrick had thanked all the guests that had taken out time to attend his 25th birthday party. They left, just remaining him, Alexa and Nicole.
"Baby brother. We have got to start going home now. Enjoy your night. I was thinking, why not ask Alexa out to be your girlfriend? She works beside you in the office and she equally spends most of her days with you. Alexa is from a prestigious home here, and she will make a good wife for you," Nicole finally said to Derrick.
Derrick frowned a little and replied, "I am not interested in a relationship, and Alexa knows this. Except, she's the one requesting for you to speak to me about a relationship."
"Not at all, Master Derrick," Alexa quickly replied as she didn't want to lose her job yet. Especially when she saw Derrick's face twisted in irritation.
"That's fine, sister. Let's call it a night. I have to go inside now and rest, then I will give your proposal a thought. Alexa Godwin is a wonderful woman, and I wouldn't mind to ask her out the proper way," Derrick said, as he put his hands into his trouser pocket and offered his elder sister a warm smile. He didn't want any of them worrying about him.
"That's fine, brother. Good night too, bye," Nicole waved to Derrick as she got into her car and drove home to meet her husband. As she has a new baby at home, while Alexa nervously smiled and walked up to her sleek black car.
She pulled the black car door open and got inside, feeling Master Derrick's gaze on her, and then she drove out of the opulent residence.
As Lady Loretta was dismissing the maids to clear the used plates and empty bottles and to also tidy up the living room after all the guests had left her mansion, she noticed the lady wincing in pain and alighting the staircase with so much difficulty."Melody," Lady Loretta looked shocked upon seeing how Melody looked so disheveled, as if she had been beaten to stupor."What happened to you?" Lady Loretta inquired in shock, while all the maids in the living room also paused to look at Melody and they gasped at the horror they saw the previously arrogant lady now looked."Milady, it was one of the maids. The maid you assigned to show me to the top floor. She dealt with me," Melody managed to speak as her cheeks were visibly swollen."You mean Miranda did this to you? I don't believe it. Miranda is innocent and cannot hurt a fly. Ever since Miranda has been working here with us, she hasn't gotten into a fight with any of the maids that I am aware of. Are you sure you're referring to Mir
After Derrick left his mother's room, he decided to retire back to his own room to rest. The night was chilly and also seemed like it was going to rain soon.Derrick reflected on what his elder sister had said concerning him dating Alexa. He liked Alexa, but he wanted to focus on his father's firm first and to expand it to the other states as well as opening mini branches all over the world.Returning to his room, Derrick noticed the unfamiliar scent that lingered in the air of his bedroom. Switching on the wall switch, his deep blue eyes darkened at the sight of the lady's gown and pants he saw on the tiled marble floor.Not only that, he heard a feminine voice humming inside his bathroom. His room was vast, and he had a study room, a relaxing room, a library where he studied some of his books before he graduated two years ago. He also had a private gym if he did not want to go to the main gym downstairs, which he shared with his sisters.They were all married and had left his mother'
Derrick hadn't thought he would be able to resist Miranda. She was so hot, her hips had awakened something deep in him, and after returning to his bathroom, he wanted to take a bath to relax all his arousal. But then he remembered Miranda had used his bath.Never had he shared his bathroom with anyone before. Now, a maid of lowly status dared to use his bathroom and also his sponge and soap. Derrick felt irritated and wanted to discipline the maid, but how would he report such news to his mother? His mother was already above 70 years old. What if his mother had a heart attack and she fainted as a result of the shock?"No, I cannot let my mother find out about this," Derrick said. He was enraged as his member still throbbed and hurt, needing that round ass to cool it off."Damn it! What kind of temptation is that? I guess I should have that maid fired tomorrow morning. Isn't she the same maid that had dared to beat up Melody to that extent? I see that she's on a mission here, and I will
"Oh!" Miranda rubbed her sleeping eyes as she would have loved to have more wonderful dreams. However, as her big brown eyes fell on the wall clock in her room, Miranda gasped, "Oh my goodness! 10 am."Well, the day was Saturday, but Miranda knew that Lady Loretta mostly picked on her to make her tea and also to attend to her other services.Rushing out from the bed without any other care in this world, Miranda quickly ran out of her maid's room, rushing out before Juliet who shook her head with disgust.Juliet was two years older than Miranda. Juliet was a single mother, but she hid it from the Luis family's knowledge.Juliet had gotten the opportunity to work in the Luis family home after she was kicked out from her parents' home. Her parents were rich, but because Juliet couldn't identify the man who had gotten her pregnant, she fell pregnant out of wedlock, and that was against her parents' standard. She had a one-night stand with a mysterious man, and she knew if she saw the man a
"Derrick, come here. I would like to have a word with you," Lady Loretta said as she called her only son back. She knew that Derrick was not pleased with her actions of pardoning Miranda, however, she liked Miranda a lot, and since Miranda had not wronged her personally, nor done anything wrong to the other maids, she could not just terminate Miranda's employment in her home.More likely, Lady Loretta had other hidden objectives. She could not just disclose her plans yet, as she had taken Miranda away from the orphanage home personally and enrolled the young woman in school.There was a time when Lady Loretta had gone to the orphanage home for one of her leisurely kind-hearted works. There, she saw the beautiful young girl who was not happy and mostly staring at the door.Lady Loretta knew the young girl's wish was to leave the orphanage home and go out to the world beyond and establish herself. She never disclosed to Miranda that she was the woman behind Miranda's freedom. She made th
"Mother, I would like to take a stroll outside to clear my mind on some things," Derrick said as he immediately looked away from Miranda. He saw the pain in her eyes and how she had stared at him accusingly.*What did I do wrong to her?* Derrick wondered as he quickly averted his gaze to the exit door.Miranda quickly informed Lady Loretta, "Ma, I have prepared your tea. Your breakfast is served.""Good. Derrick, come join me for breakfast first before leaving. Miranda woke up late today, and upon her rudeness last night, she decided to have me starve this morning. Forgetting that she had to prepare my tea on time," Lady Loretta commented as she rose from the couch and strolled ahead to the dining table to have her seat.Derrick accompanied his mother, gently pulling out a chair for his mother to take her seat first. He said, "And that's why I told you to terminate her employment here. Anything that causes you pain shouldn't be kept closer to you.""Derrick, I would not like to think t
Even Miranda was taken aback by the new man's words. She just walked into the living room, slowly closing the door behind her back. Miranda didn't want to believe that Alex was as troublesome as Derrick."Oh! That was a rude thing to say, Alex. You should have simply said that you dated Juliet before. I know Juliet Colton is not from a poor home like the rest. She is a classy, bossy girl who also exudes an air of superiority. I did my research about her and heard she had a child out of wedlock, which is the reason her billionaires' parents' sent her away from their mansion.""She was pregnant?" Alex looked stunned, but Juliet was more than embarrassed that her life secret was now public knowledge. She immediately ran away from the living room to hide her shame."Juliet, where are you running off to?" Lady Loretta asked in a low voice. As she called Juliet back, but the latter didn't respond and ran away to her room. To cry it all out.The tension in the living room intensified, and Mi
Looking confused, Miranda did not understand where Lady Loretta was driving at."I don't understand, Ma," Miranda said. Lady Loretta offered her a warm smile."I know that you're not happy about what Derrick stated about the lower-class families. You shouldn't be annoyed with him. It is one reason you shouldn't eavesdrop on other peoples' conversations." Lady Loretta emphasized."I am sorry, Ma," Miranda offered her apology, with her head bent low."It's okay. Come sit here. You know, I have always wanted to speak to you about this, for a very long time. But I haven't had the chance to discuss this with you," Lady Loretta added. Miranda finally raised her head up and looked at the older woman."I should come and sit beside you?" Miranda had to repeat the question to be sure she was not hearing double.What if Master Derrick came in and saw her sitting with his mother? Wouldn't he fire her and find that disrespectful? Miranda wondered, and her hesitation to sit beside the older woman w
