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

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

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
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 31| A visit to Juliet's home
"What's up, bro? How's it going?" Nicole asked after hearing Derrick's deep voice."I'm fine. Surprised to get a call from you this morning. How is your family faring?" Derrick inquired, to which Nicole responded, "All good. So what are you up to now? You know it's the weekend. Did you manage to ask Alexa out on the date we talked about?" Nicole inquired."Well..." Derrick was finishing getting dressed in a blue shirt and black pants. He slipped on his black shoes, which were sitting beside his luxury bed."I did, but I invited Alexa over to meet with our mother," Derrick replied as he put on his shoes and thought against discussing with Nicole about accompanying Alex in visiting the Colton residence in the morning."Oh! That's nice. So you plan to settle down with Alexa, right?" Nicole sounded hopeful. Derrick replied, "Maybe, if Mom approves of her.""Okay, then. I'll keep in touch to see what Mom thinks," Nicole said. "Take care, baby brother."Derrick smiled after his call with Nic
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 32| Unexpected visit
In the evening, Alex arrived home with Derrick and Juliet. Alex had not been himself after seeing the little boy, Jayden, who resembled him.Getting out of the car, Alex entered the living room with Derrick, and they saw Lady Loretta in the living room with Celine."Mom!" Alex felt all the blood drain out of him upon seeing his mother, Celine Jackson. Miranda and the other maids were attending to Alex's mother, Celine Jackson, who wore a crimson gown and looked back at her son."Is that the right way to welcome your mother?" Celine asked, and Alex frowned. His day had been completely ruined after seeing his son, and Derrick hadn't wasted any time snapping a photo of the little boy and sending it to Alex's mother. They agreed over a phone call that Alex must marry Juliet whether he liked it or not, and Derrick had to apologize to Juliet's family on behalf of their absence in Jayden's life. Miranda looked at Juliet's face and saw the joy imprinted there as Juliet walked into the living

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

"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

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.

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.

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 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
