Derrick returned to the mansion after he had gone to meet his security men. His mother called him just before their dinner was ready. "Derrick." He paused as he heard his mother call him over to meet her on their 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 finished saying that. She saw Derrick's eyes narrow. He frowned and replied, "Mom, who usually accompanied them to the hospital before? I don't like any involvement with those maids." "I am aware," Lady Loretta said. "Only that none of the maids had gone to the clinic before, however, I want you to take Miranda there as she's unwell." "No, M
"What's up, bro? How are you doing?" Nicole asked after hearing Derrick's deep voice. "I'm fine. Surprise to get a call from you this morning. How are your family doing?" 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 spoke about?" Nicole inquired. "Well..." Derrick was done dressing up in a blue shirt and black pants, and he was also wearing his black shoes that were resting beside his luxury bed. "I did, but I invited Alexa over to meet with our mother," Derrick replied, wearing his shoes as he discussed with Nicole about Alexa coming to visit. "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 with you to know about Mom's feedback," Nicole said, "Do take care, baby brother." Derrick smiled after his phone call with Nicole ended. He kept his phone and
In the evening, Alex arrived home with Derrick and Juliet. Alex had not been himself after seeing the little boy, Jayden that resembles 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 in him drained out on seeing his mother, Celine. Miranda with the rest of the maids were on duty attending to Alex's mother, Celine Jackson, as she 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 didn't waste time in snapping the little boy photo and sending it to Alex's mother. They agreed on the phone call conversation that Alex must marry Juliet whether he likes her or not, and also, Derrick had to render an apology to Juliet's family on behalf of their absence in Jayden's life. Miranda looked at Juliet's face and she saw the joy imprinte
Derrick's brows furrowed as he was silent at first. After a while, he said, "That's fine. I will let my mother know that you're unable to visit us. 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 my visit next week." "It's okay. But you will be around in the office by Monday, as we have some pending works 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 with me." "It's nothing. Good night." Derrick ended the phone call, and his anger was evident. He had heard about some women experiencing pain during their menstrual cycle, but he hadn't thought Alexa would use that as an excuse not to visit his family's house the following day. Sighing, Derrick went back into the mansion, and his mother was still engrossed with her conversation with Celine. Seeing Derrick enter the living room again, Lady Loretta
Miranda was in her room, searching her wardrobe for the clothes that she would buy as it was already month-end. She had received her monthly payment, and she gathered all her boxes out, thinking to discard some of her old clothes.As Miranda was living inside the mansion, she doesn't usually go outside of the gate to go for her shopping or to hang out anywhere. She thought about Alex's proposal for them to go to the cinema, but seeing he was with Juliet, Miranda knew that Alex wouldn't have time for her.It was already late night, and she had jotted down all the clothes that she would purchase at any shopping vendor close by, as she didn't want to wander off or get lost.Miranda would have preferred to do her shopping online, but knowing that clothes come in various sizes and she had seen some folks who had received some different items from what they had ordered online. She decided to go out for her shopping the following day.Staring back at her room clock, just as she shut her ward
The following day in the Luis mansion, Miranda woke up in her bedroom preparing to have her bath as the day was Sunday. She is aware that she had to hurry up to assist in preparing Lady Loretta's bath and also in assisting the older lady in dressing up.Quickly alighting her bed, Miranda bolted into her bathroom and sped up with her bath. Then, she stepped out and walked into the room to don a blue blouse and black skirt.Walking to her room mirror as the time was still after 6 am, Miranda quickly combed her hair, then she applied her orange cream and finally packed her hair neatly.Miranda and the rest of the maids didn't usually attend church or any holy sermon grounds. She quickly exited her room, then proceeded to the second 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 look neat.Ella also arrived to join Miranda, and the two women went in
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 stupid as he wondered why his mother wanted him in particular to accompany the maid when he had staff who ran on errands for him.He quickly went to have his bath. After he was through, he stepped out and wore 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 visitor.As he was through dressing up, Derrick grabbed his phone and went downstairs as he wasn't the one driving. He had a chauffeur who drives him around at any time that he likes. Derrick also knew how to drive, but he prefers his driver to take him around.As he alighted the stairs, he saw the pretty maid was ready and she was wearing a blue long dress compared to the casual clothing that she wore that morning.As Miranda wanted to go for her shopping, she de
Alexa was nervous in her home, knowing that she had lied to Derrick about being on her monthly period and using it as an excuse not to visit his family's house. She was with her friend, Agnes, so she decided to phone Derrick again to apologize and assure him that she would be visiting his mother the following weekend."Hello, Alexa," Derrick answered the phone call as he saw Miranda waiting for him. She was a new acquaintance, and instead of her going into the hospital by herself to get her medical checkup, she was standing there, waiting for him like he's her husband."Good morning, Derrick. Happy Sunday to you," Alexa said, speaking to Derrick in a sweet tone."Thank you," Derrick replied, and he told her, "I will give you a call later. I went out with someone my mother asked me to accompany to the hospital.""Oh!" Alexa gasped."I hope the person's health isn't serious?" She asked him, not expecting that he had a sick person with him."No, not really. Just a regular check-up. Talk
