A Mistaken Night With The CEO 9: The Nephew
Even Miranda was taken aback by the new man's words. She had just walked into the living room, slowly closing the door behind her. Miranda didn't want to believe that Alex was as troublesome as Derrick."Oh! That was a rude thing to say, Alex. You should have simply said that you dated Juliet before. I know Juliet Colton is not from a poor home like the rest. She is a classy, bossy girl who exudes an air of superiority. I did my research on her and heard she had a child out of wedlock, which is why her billionaire parents sent her away from their mansion.""She was pregnant?" Alex looked stunned, and Juliet was more than embarrassed that her life’s secret had become public knowledge. She immediately ran away from the living room to hide her shame."Juliet, where are you running off to?" Lady Loretta asked in a low voice as she called Juliet back, but the latter didn't respond and ran to her room to cry it all out.The tension in the living room intensified, and Miranda was equally stun
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 10: Looking Confused
Looking confused, Miranda did not understand where Lady Loretta was going with her comments."I don't understand, Ma," Miranda said. Lady Loretta offered her a warm smile."I know you're upset about what Derrick said regarding lower-class families. You shouldn't be annoyed with him. It's one reason you shouldn't eavesdrop on other people's conversations," Lady Loretta emphasized."I'm sorry, Ma," Miranda apologized, her head bowed low."It's okay. Come sit here. I've wanted to talk to you about this for a long time, but I haven't had the chance," Lady Loretta added. Miranda finally raised her head and looked at the older woman."Should I sit beside you, Ma?" Miranda repeated, unsure she had heard correctly.What if Master Derrick came in and saw her sitting with his mother? Wouldn't he fire her for disrespect? Miranda wondered, her hesitation clear on her face.Observing Miranda's hesitation, Lady Loretta added, "You don't have to worry about Derrick. He wouldn't barge in here without

Miranda returned to the maids' quarters on the left wing of the mansion. The maids were engaged in gossip about Juliet and Alex, Lady Loretta's grandson.Miranda summoned two maids to accompany her, and they went up to the top floor to Lady Loretta's room to gather her clothes and take them downstairs.As Miranda did not know which room belonged to the older lady, the other two maids showed her the way, and soon they began gathering most of Lady Loretta's belongings.Miranda thought about what Lady Loretta had mentioned earlier about adopting her because she wanted her to become her daughter-in-law.A sad smile played on Miranda's lips, as she truly admired Derrick, but she knew the housemaster loathed her the most.The girls focused on gathering the clothes first and taking them to the lower floor of the mansion.Meanwhile, Derrick left the mansion for a walk to clear his mind. He had a business meeting the following day, and he wondered how he would ask Alexa out."I have never done
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 12: New staff
Miranda wondered again what Derrick was up to. Her heartbeat was irregular, especially knowing he was watching her.'Did he wake up to stare at me again? Oh no!' Miranda bent down and resumed sweeping.She expected Derrick to have left the stairs, but he stood there motionless, watching her sweep.Alex finally walked out of the guest room he had been given. Although Alex had other plans to discuss with Derrick regarding his stay at the Luis mansion,Alex wore a white robe, paired with black trousers and black slippers. He was still reeling from the revelation that Juliet had a son. Despite confronting Juliet about the paternity of her son the previous day, she refused to speak to him.Alex didn't know Juliet's family, and he hadn't planned on becoming a father soon. His mother had suggested he undergo some business training from Derrick to impress his father and eventually run his father's company. What Alex hadn't expected was to encounter Juliet again. His past bad-boy lifestyle was

Derrick subtly narrowed his eyes at Miranda as he saw her walk out of the bathroom. Without waiting to hear what his mother had to say to Miranda, he muttered, "Mom, you can meet me in the dining room."After Derrick exited the room, the other two maids stood motionless, having witnessed his earlier reaction in the early hours of the morning."Come with me, Miranda. You should go and serve my tea," Lady Loretta dismissed Miranda and went to the dining room to join her son.However, as Lady Loretta stepped out, she saw unfamiliar faces in her living room.Derrick had wanted to leave the house initially, not wanting to see Miranda again, but after his mother called him, he had to wait.Sitting quietly in the dining room as a maid approached him and served his breakfast, Lady Loretta inquired, "Derrick, who are these new faces?""Oh! Mom, you remember that I spoke to you about getting a replacement for your favorite maid, Miranda," Derrick said with a strict face."Yes, I remember you sai

After having breakfast with his mother, Derrick rose from his chair and stepped out. "I have to head to the office, Mother. Take care," he said, leaning over to peck his mother on her left cheek.As Alex rose from his chair to leave the dining room, Derrick said, "Alex, you should prepare to go to the company tomorrow. You don't have to worry about your credentials anymore. I will have my assistant fit you into the company."Alex frowned. Just as he was about to refuse, saying he needed a week's break, Miranda finished her breakfast and walked into the vast living room again to take her used dishes to the kitchen.However, Derrick remembered his previous statement about terminating Miranda's contract. But knowing his mother was protecting her, he looked away and exited the mansion.Derrick strode up to his car and got inside. His chauffeur started the car engine and drove off to the Luis Group.Due to Alex's visit, Derrick arrived at his company late. It was past 9:30 a.m. when he arri

Miranda felt uneasy as she realized Alex had been following her since the afternoon. He kept sending her on errands and was now boldly standing beside her, seemingly unconcerned about whether she might lose her job.Miranda wanted to distance herself from the tall man. He was different from Derrick, talking a lot and being more approachable and friendly. Most of the maids were discussing how they liked him, unlike the boss. But with Juliet around, they only gossiped behind her back.Juliet was irritated to see Alex standing outside with Miranda."Miranda! Lady Loretta sent for you!" Juliet shouted, startling Miranda, who wanted to ask Alex's permission to leave his presence, as she was also afraid of him and why he was pestering her.Miranda wasn't used to guys summoning her all the time. Even Derrick never summoned any of the maids like that. Initially, Miranda thought that might be how Alex called the other maids, but it dawned on her that he was only after her.Walking into the livi
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 16| Walls with ears
"Ha!" Most of the maids gasped, not expecting Alex to be so shameless or for Juliet to lose her temper and deliver a factory-resetting slap to Alex.His eyes surged with anger as they narrowed at her."How dare you raise your hands to hit me? Have you gone mad?" Alex questioned as, in the next moment, he seized Juliet and pinned her against the wall, his hand clutching her neck as he interrogated her.Juliet hadn't expected Alex to retaliate. She coughed, gasping for air, and cursed him, "You're such an asshole, and I regret ever getting pregnant by you as a result of that night with you. You will never be my son's father or see him. You disgust me."Alex's hand immediately loosened from Juliet's neck, and she slumped to the floor.Some of the maids had gone to report to Lady Loretta about what was happening in the maids' quarters, and the older woman rushed there just as Alex finally let go of Juliet."What's going on here, Alex? What did you do to her? Get help quickly and check if s

The following day, Miranda and Derrick stepped out to go for their wedding shopping, while Oliver insisted on going with them. Miranda wore a red dress that was loose-fitting, paired with black shoes, and had her blonde hair styled in a bun. Derrick wore a blue shirt and black pants, along with black shoes. 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

When Derrick arrived in the city, he went home, getting the notification from Lady Stephanie that his mother was at home.As he arrived home, he walked into the house happily. "Mom!" Derrick rushed to meet her and hugged her.Lady Loretta sat on the couch and smiled as Derrick hugged her warmly. She knew he was in a good mood and had heard he went to meet Miranda."Welcome back, Mom," Derrick said, and his mother replied calmly, "Thank you. You look so happy. How are Miranda and Oliver doing?""They are fine, Mom," Derrick said, still smiling, and that made his mother look relieved."I am happy to hear that. It's good to see that she has forgiven you. 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. He finally walked up to cover him up with his small blanket, careful not to make any noise that would awake Oliver.After that, he turned off t

Derrick's car arrived at a fancy restaurant, and they got out of the car and went into the Restaurant building together. Miranda was nervous to be in the same space as Derrick. This was the first time that he was taking her out on a date.Derrick requested a private spot, and he was taken away with Miranda to the Restaurant's private section.Derrick could see that Miranda appeared nervous. He smiled at her and considered in his mind to get her a lovely wedding ring and to propose to 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. 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. Although Oliver knew they were friends, he didn't suspect anything bad."We are friends. So he came around to se

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
