A Mistaken Night With The CEO 23| Begging Miranda
"Nothing, has Alex or Derrick arrived from work? I heard the car sound," Lady Loretta inquired of Miranda."Yes, Ma," Miranda said, wondering if Alex had gone directly to his room. Perhaps Lady Loretta had seen him there."Miranda, are you sure you’re alright?" Lady Loretta asked again."Yes, Ma. I'm fine," Miranda said as Lady Loretta settled on the black couch in the living room, waiting for her children."That's fine. Send for the cook to warm our meals," Lady Loretta dismissed Miranda, who then left for the kitchen.Meanwhile, Derrick called Alex's phone immediately, summoning him upstairs after moving away from the balcony to his sitting room.As soon as Alex entered the exquisite parlor, Derrick queried him, "Haven't I warned you to stay away from my mother's maids?"Derrick was angry as he interrogated Alex in his sitting room. His anger was evident as he was still irritated by seeing how Alex held onto Miranda's wrist."I know, Uncle. But I was just speaking to Miranda. Why are
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 24| The phone call
After Derrick went into his bedroom, he took a bath. As he walked out and put on his evening robe, preparing to go downstairs for dinner with his mother, Derrick decided to phone Alexa to check if her phone was reachable."Hello," Derrick said as soon as the phone call connected."Hi, good evening, sir," Alexa replied, and Derrick questioned her, "Do you know who is speaking?"Meanwhile, Alexa was at her family house. Since she already had Derrick's number, she replied, "Yes, I am familiar with your voice, sir.""Hmm, that's fine. I just decided to call now because I had to take my bath and also dress up. How about you? What are you up to now?" Derrick tried to strike up a conversation with Alexa. She replied, "I am at home too, just preparing what I would eat.""Do you live alone? I thought you resided with your parents?" Derrick asked, surprised by Alexa's response."Well, yes. I do live alone, although sometimes I visit my parents' residence," Alexa said, and Derrick replied, "That'
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 25| The dreams
Lady Loretta walked into her bedroom to rest, knowing that Derrick could be difficult. She couldn't talk to him about Miranda just yet. She feared how her son would react, so she decided to wait and meet with Alexa Godwin before voicing her disapproval.After taking a stroll outside to clear his mind while on his phone, Derrick went back into the mansion and returned to his bedroom to sleep. He tried not to think about Miranda before he was finally able to fall asleep.Still lying on his bed, Derrick sank into a deep slumber."What are you doing here?" he asked the maid, looking at her with disdain as he saw Miranda walk into his bedroom. She wore a cream-colored dress that exposed her chest, accentuated her hips, and had thin straps."Good evening, sir. I came to check on you. Your mother sent for you downstairs," Miranda said, her voice soft and alluring, triggering something deep in Derrick's heart.His midnight blue eyes narrowed at her as he sat up in his bed.Miranda was equally
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 26| Meeting a Doctor
Derrick looked at Miranda irritably, but for some unknown reason, he couldn't explain why he was troubled by the suspicion that Miranda might be pregnant, even though it was only his mother's speculation as to why Miranda was always sleeping."Well, if you say that you're fine, no problem. Juliet has already served my tea, and the doctor will be here at noon to examine you and determine what is wrong. So, you should prepare yourself," Lady Loretta spoke in a serious tone, as she couldn't trust Miranda's statement.'I cannot trust these young girls. What if Miranda had slept with one of the bodyguards?' Lady Loretta pondered, a deep frown settling on her face."Mom, I have told you not to bother yourself with all these maids. Getting a new replacement for them is the best option," Derrick said through gritted teeth. He was still finding it hard to believe he ended up dreaming about making love to Miranda. Looking at the maid in her brown dress, he noticed she wasn't wearing a bra, and h
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 27| Doctor's inquiring
As Miranda sat in the maids' lounge with Dr. Elsa Richardson, she wasn't sure if she should tell the middle-aged doctor that she was having trouble sleeping, largely because she thought so much about Master Derrick."I am fine, Ma. It's just personal feelings," Miranda said."Okay, permit me to examine you then," Dr. Elsa proposed, and she examined Miranda's bodily temperature and conducted other health checks."It's alright. I'll invite you to the clinic for a test as well, as Mrs. Luis is concerned about the possibility of you being pregnant. Do you have a boyfriend?" Dr. Elsa asked Miranda."No," Miranda replied with surprise, though she blushed."There's nothing wrong with having a boyfriend at your age. How old are you?" Dr. Elsa continued to ask Miranda as she jotted down her response."I am 22 this year," Miranda said, smiling at the thought of not having a boyfriend."And what about your relationship status?" Dr. Elsa inquired once more, to which Miranda responded, "I am single
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 28| Derrick's invitation
Meanwhile, Derrick Luis was at his office after wrapping up a meeting with some clients. He contemplated whether to call Alexa as he sat in his executive chair, thinking about his request.'How do I ask Alexa out on a date? Isn't it too early?' Derrick thought as closing time approached. Just then, Gabriel Simon knocked on the door, and Derrick responded, "Enter."Gabriel opened the office door and stepped into Derrick's office, where the atmosphere was quiet."Good evening, Boss. I have an update about your request regarding the land you wanted to purchase in the local town," Gabriel disclosed to Derrick, who was seated quietly, listening."What about the land? Have you acquired it yet?" Derrick inquired. Gabriel shook his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, boss, but the agent refused to resell the land, stating that the owner wouldn't sell, even if we offered 100 million to them. They won't sell their land.""Damn it! What are those poor people thinking? I was trying to help the owner
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 29| Asking Miranda out
Miranda was finishing up washing her clothes in the backyard of the mansion where the laundry room was when she saw a car arrive and park. She smiled, admiring the two men who stepped out of the car.As Derrick exited the car and laid eyes on Miranda, he frowned and looked away from her as she stood washing her feet, having finished packing all the clothes she had washed.Alex smiled and decided to seize the opportunity to talk to Miranda. Although Alex knew Derrick and his mother had warned him not to mess around with any of the maids, he couldn't help but feel drawn to Miranda."Good evening, sir," Miranda greeted Alex as she saw him approach. Unlike previous times when Miranda usually frowned, this time, she smiled as Alex approached her where she stood."How are you doing tonight?" Alex asked, as it was already evening."I am fine, sir. How was work today?" Miranda replied, her voice sounding friendly and alluring."Cool. I was thinking, do you girls usually get the weekends off, o
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 30| Rejecting to accompany Miranda
Derrick returned to the mansion after meeting with his security personnel. His mother called him just before dinner was ready. "Derrick." He paused as he heard his mother calling him over to meet her on the couch."Mom, what's the matter?" Derrick asked as he finally approached his mother."I want to discuss something with you. Are you free now?" Lady Loretta asked, and Derrick replied, "Sure, Mom. What's it about?"Lady Loretta smiled and replied, "Well, I don't know if you will be free this upcoming Sunday. I would like you to accompany one of the maids to the hospital for her medical check-up."Lady Loretta appeared nervous after she said that. She saw Derrick narrow his eyes and frown as he replied, "Who usually accompanied them to the hospital before, Mom? I don't like any involvement with those maids.""I am aware," Lady Loretta said. "It's just that none of the maids have gone to the clinic before, but I want you to take Miranda there because she's unwell.""No, Mom. I cannot ac

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

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.

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
