A Mistaken Night With The CEO 80| His agreement
"No way. Just my assistant alone. I'm not interested in them, as it's a futile relationship and not leading anywhere. How's Mom doing?" Derrick asked as he met his mother's gaze."I'm fine, Derrick. So you will be going to the local town tomorrow. I would have loved to accompany you to see how the town looks," Lady Loretta said, and Derrick smiled."It's a lively environment, Mom. Quite noisier than here. I can't believe the area, but it is what it is," Derrick replied, "Underdeveloped.""Hmm," Lady Loretta agreed, recalling it was her husband's wish. "You should take videos of the area. I would like to see it, even if I cannot go there with you now," Lady Loretta said, and Derrick nodded."I have some photos, Mom, but I will get video recordings of the area for you. The actual property I wanted to buy at first— I saw a mall was built there, along with a bank and more. A market is across from my company." Derrick took out his phone as he explained the area to his mother.Lady Loretta
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 81| The surprise
Miranda awoke in her bedroom, and it dawned on her that it was her birthday. She usually celebrated her birthday every year on July 1st. Although she wasn't certain of her exact birth date, she noted that Lady Loretta always celebrated it for her.If only her mother were present, she could have asked her about her real date of birth. As Miranda got out of bed, she went to prepare her son's bath, seeing that he was still asleep. The weather was cold due to the heavy rain that had fallen the previous night, so Miranda prepared a hot bath for Oliver. Once she had finished, she woke him up and assisted him with his bath before dressing him in a blue top and black trousers. She also put a blue sweater on him to keep him warm. As she set out her own outfit—a pink suit she wanted to wear to the mall—she noticed that Oliver wasn't feeling well and was running a fever, so she didn't want to take him to school. Besides, she knew he had already completed his exams and the school was yet to begin
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 82| Her promise
Larry was glad that Miranda had finally agreed to go with him to the city. However, he felt restless, not wanting Miranda and Derrick to cross paths again, as it irritated him to know that Derrick Luis was Oliver's father."Babe, I know that you do not want to admit it to me, but Oliver is Derrick's son, right? He looks just like his father. Now I see why he's so smart and behaves like an adult despite being a five-year-old boy," Larry commented, and Miranda wanted to flee from his embrace.Not so fast; Larry grasped Miranda closely by her waist, and she tried to lie to him, her face flushed red while her lips quivered, struggling to tell him the truth."I..." Miranda couldn’t speak. She couldn’t look up at Larry's face, knowing that he had discovered the truth by himself."I'm sorry," Miranda said, and Larry told her, "You don't have to apologize to me or lie to me. It's all in the past now. My only concern is what happened between you and Derrick. Did you fall in love with him, or d
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 83| Son's escape
Once Miranda was done dressing in a pink suit and black shoes, she paired the outfit with a pink skirt and carried her black handbag. As she exited her bedroom, Oliver was standing outside the house waiting for his mother.Emily wasn't around, so Miranda locked up the house and walked to her new car. She unlocked the vehicle door and hopped inside.Oliver frowned, not wanting to use the new car Uncle Larry had given his mother. But he knew there was nothing he could do to stop his mother’s relationship with Uncle Larry. If only his father weren’t a bad man."Oliver, fasten your seat belt," Miranda said to her son as he sat in the back seat. Oliver obeyed, and soon she drove out of the residence, heading to the mall.When Miranda arrived, she entered the parking lot and parked her car. Her security personnel were surprised to see her in a new vehicle, as they were familiar with the three cars she had owned before. They smiled and greeted her happily as Miranda got out of her car with h
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 84| Meeting his son
Sabrina Jackson had been looking for an opportunity to meet with Derrick, and now that opportunity had presented itself, even though she was not allowed to see him on regular days, as Derrick's assistant was the only one permitted to meet with him in his office."Yes, what do you want?" Derrick asked as his eyes scanned Sabrina in her white shirt and black skirt; she was also wearing black shoes. Though she worked for Luis Corporation, she still looked poor and below the class of ladies Derrick Luis would admire speaking with.His face appeared stoic as he listened to her. "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, but I think I have something that you may want to see.""What's that?" Derrick asked, sounding almost impatient with Sabrina. She noticed that he looked stressed, and she quickly unlocked her phone and showed Derrick the photo she had captured earlier—a small boy in a white top, blue jeans, and black sandals."Here it is, sir. I actually saw the small boy at the mall last week, and he
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 85| Looking for Oliver
"Hello, Mother," Derrick said, picking up his mother's call. His voice sounded hoarse and shaky as he was quite emotional about meeting his son."Derrick, where are you?" Lady Loretta asked, wanting to know if Derrick had gone to the orphanage as they had discussed.Derrick wanted to tell his mother that he had seen his son. Likewise, he would get to see Miranda, but he held himself back, knowing that she was old and he didn't want to cause her any distress."I am still at my office, Mother. I will be home soon," he said."Really? Did you go to the orphanage?" Lady Loretta asked, and Derrick replied, "Yes, Mother," still looking at his son."Did you see Miranda? I mean, is there a chance that you might see her in that orphanage?" Lady Loretta asked, and Derrick didn't know why his mother was particularly concerned about that specific orphanage."No, I didn't get to see her there, Mom, but I have some good news for you. When I get home, we will discuss it," Derrick said, and his mother
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 86| Son's tears
"Mike! Did you see my son? Did you allow Oliver out of this gate?" Miranda asked, feeling faint as she wondered where her son had gone.She was crying, fearing the unknown—that someone had kidnapped her son."Mike! Where's my son? You were supposed to look after the gate! How did you allow Oliver to leave here under your watch?" Miranda shouted, and Mike tried to explain."Madam, I didn't allow Oliver to leave here on his own. He saw his dad, called him, and his father arrived to see him and took him away," Mike explained, and Miranda immediately let go of Mike's shirt collar, as she had already held him by his shirt to find her son."What??" Miranda staggered backward away from Mike."My son's father?" she asked, hoping she wasn't hearing things."Yes, Madam. Your husband arrived here not too long ago, and he looked so much like Oliver. Oliver ran up to meet him and called the man 'Daddy,' and I couldn't stop him from taking Oliver away. The man wore a black suit and had bodyguards w
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 87| Excited feelings
Derrick sat in his car on his way back home, still deep in thought as he remembered how beautiful Miranda looked."I cannot believe that was Miranda. She looks so beautiful now," he said as he gazed out the window while his chauffeur drove towards the city. Night had fallen, and the whole area was dark. Derrick also recalled how handsome his son looked. He had been a father for six years without knowing it."I could have just taken Oliver along with me, but I know he would worry about Miranda," Derrick sighed as he saw his phone ringing again. It was Nicole calling him."Hello, Derrick, where are you?" Nicole asked, and Derrick replied, "On my way home. What's the problem?""Nothing. Mom asked me to call you and see if you had arrived," she said."Okay, I will be home soon," Derrick replied, to which Nicole answered, "Okay."The phone call disconnected, and Derrick went online to glance at his social media friend list. Miranda hadn't unblocked him, and their last chat was still there.
