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
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
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,
