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

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

"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

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

Derrick's brows furrowed as he stood silently at first. After a while, he said, "That's fine. I will let my mother know that you're unable to visit us tomorrow. How is your health now?"Sighing in relief, Alexa replied, "I'm getting better. Please, do not be offended with me. I promise to keep up with the visit next week.""It's okay. But you will be in the office by Monday, as we have some pending work to do," Derrick said, suppressing his anger, to which Alexa replied, "Of course. I will be at the office by Monday. Thank you for understanding.""It's nothing. Good night." Derrick ended the phone call, and his anger was evident. He knew some women experienced pain during their menstrual cycle, but he hadn't thought Alexa would use that as an excuse not to visit his family the following day.Sighing, Derrick returned to the mansion, and his mother was still engrossed in her conversation with Celine. Seeing Derrick enter the living room, Lady Loretta summoned him, "Come, Derrick. We hav
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 34| Alex's apologies
Miranda was in her room, searching her wardrobe for clothes she planned to buy as it was already the end of the month and the Luis family had paid her salary. She gathered all her boxes, considering discarding some of her old clothes.As Miranda lived inside the mansion, she didn't usually go outside the gate for shopping or to hang out. She thought about Alex's proposal for them to go to the cinema, but seeing that he was with Juliet, Miranda knew Alex wouldn't have time for her. She jotted down all the clothes she wanted to purchase at a nearby shopping vendor to avoid wandering off or getting lost.Miranda would have preferred to do her shopping online, but knowing that clothes come in various sizes, and having heard of people receiving different items than ordered, she decided to shop in person the following day.Looking at the clock in her room just as she shut her wardrobe door, Miranda noticed it was already 10 p.m. and she had spent so much time ransacking her wardrobe, trying

The following day in the Luis mansion, Miranda woke up in her bedroom, preparing to have her bath since it was Sunday. She was aware that she had to hurry to assist in preparing Lady Loretta's bath and helping the older lady dress up.Quickly getting out of bed, Miranda bolted into her bathroom and sped through her bath. Then she stepped out, walked into the room, and donned a blue blouse and black skirt.Walking to her room mirror, as it was still just after 6 a.m., Miranda quickly combed her hair, then applied her orange cream and neatly styled her hair.Miranda and the rest of the maids didn't usually attend church or any holy sermon grounds. She quickly exited her room and proceeded to the other side of the mansion.As Miranda arrived at Lady Loretta's room, the rest of the maids were tidying up the mansion, sweeping and cleaning the living room and the rest of the surroundings to make them look neat.Ella also arrived to join Miranda, and the two women went into Lady Loretta's roo
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 36| Mother's request
Derrick went back upstairs to his bedroom, murmuring, "Why must I be the one to accompany that maid to the hospital? My mom just wants to force her closer to me. Tch."Derrick wasn't naive, and he wondered why his mother wanted him, in particular, to accompany the maid when he had staff who ran errands for him.He quickly went to have his bath. After he was done, he stepped out and put on a casual red shirt and black trousers paired with black shoes, since he wasn't going out of the mansion again, nor were they expecting any visitors.Once he finished dressing, Derrick grabbed his phone and went downstairs as he wasn't driving himself. He had a chauffeur who drove him around whenever he liked. Although Derrick knew how to drive, he preferred his driver to take him around.As he descended the stairs, he saw the pretty maid was ready, wearing a blue long dress compared to the casual clothing she wore earlier that morning.As Miranda planned to go shopping, she decided to dress stylishly,

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

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.

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.

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
