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

"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

"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

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.
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 88| Begging her son
Miranda went into the house and saw her son had gone into his bedroom and locked the door."Oliver! Open this door!" Miranda carefully banged on her son's room door, but Oliver wasn't pulling the door open or responding to her."Oliver, what did I do wrong to you? Why are you avoiding me in this house? Do you see why I do not want you to meet your dad? Only today that you saw him, I have no peace, and now you're behaving like him," Miranda complained, thinking of what to do to lure her son out of his room. She couldn't allow him to starve and worry about him.Oliver didn't respond, and Miranda told him, "I'm sorry, Oliver. Fine, I'm going to call your dad now for you to speak with him. Are you going to open the door for me?"The corridor was silent as Miranda stopped speaking. Emily had finished preparing dinner and wondered what was going on between Miranda and Oliver again.Emily also liked Oliver, as the little boy knew how to get his mother worried.Walking into the corridor in her
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 89| The photo
In the Luis mansion, Derrick woke up in his room and prepared for the day's work as he was going to his office. His mobile phone rang from the shelf beside his bed where he kept it. Derrick ignored his ringing phone and went into his bathroom to bathe. The time was past 7 am, and knowing he had many tasks to do, he prepared to take his bath.While bathing, Derrick remembered how Miranda now looked. As much as he desired to have her again, he remembered that he was the one who had sent her away before and told her not to return."What am I going to do now? How do I speak to her?" Derrick finished his bath in the bathroom. As he got out, he dried off his wet body and dressed up in a deep blue suit. He was going to the office and had some shareholders' meetings at noon.After dressing up, Derrick picked up his phone as he was done adjusting his necktie. He saw that Erica Harrison was the one calling him."What does she want again?" He muttered as he kept his phone away, stowing it into hi

"Let me have a look," Lady Loretta inquired as Nicole was the one holding onto Derrick's phone, staring at the little boy displayed in the picture on the phone screen.Frank and Rita returned to their chairs to sit across from Derrick while Nicole showed the photo to her mother.Lady Loretta smiled sadly as she looked at the phone screen and saw the little boy in the white top and denim jeans. He looked so handsome and resembled her late husband too."He's truly your son, Derrick. You should go and bring him. I want to see him," Lady Loretta said, as tears of joy welled up in her eyes.Derrick finished his tea and placed the cup on the table. "I will, Mom, but not today. Over the weekend," he replied, rising up to leave the dining room."Derrick," Lady Loretta called him as Derrick walked out to meet her."Mom, I already promised you that I will go see Miranda, but I have a lot of work to do today. Please, I will try and talk to her. I saw that she is already engaged to someone else, a

He didn't bother to ask her about Derrick, since Miranda wasn't ready to call Derrick as promised.They went into the mall, and Miranda was restless, wondering if Derrick had arrived to see her. However, her hope of seeing him failed as she didn't see him throughout the day. Upon closing hour at 6 pm, Larry arrived at Miranda's mall. It was Wednesday, and he had been busy the previous day, not having time to check on her. Also, his mother had called him to come over to the city and hand his office project to his assistant to work on."Hey baby," Larry greeted Miranda as she arrived at the parking lot with her son."Good evening, welcome," Miranda managed to reply. She was wearing a white v-neck gown that had her cleavage exposed, and Oliver wore a yellow top, blue denim shorts, and white canvas shoes."I'm sorry, I couldn't come over the previous day to check on you both," Larry apologized, staring at Miranda with love."It'

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.

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

"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

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 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.

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 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
