CHAPTER 11

Derrick stood speechless, looking at his mother in silence. He had a hunch feeling that his mother was not being honest with him. Whenever he saw Miranda, he felt so uncomfortable, and all the feelings were new to him and affecting his brain. Derrick could not even concentrate on his work anymore. He had to shut his computer and come downstairs to know if Miranda had carried out the task he assigned her. Remembering that hourglass figure hiding under her gown, Derrick blamed himself for daring to enter his own bathroom when he heard her humming that night. Derrick perspired and glanced at his mother once more and finally exited the room. "Why can't Derrick just tell me that he likes Miranda? So among all the maids, he seems to have taken notice of Miranda. That is nice. I see the gods are beginning to answer my prayers." A playful smile curved up Lady Loretta's lips as she waited for the maids to arrive and arrange her things and clothes into the closet. --- Miranda went to the

Chapter 12

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

Chapter 13

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

Chapter 14

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

Chapter 15

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

Chapter 16

"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 chec

Chapter 17

After dinner with his mother, Derrick escorted her to her bedroom. Knowing that she was worried about the maids and the incident that had occurred earlier, he said, "Mom, you see why I suggested earlier to send that maid away." Lady Loretta smiled after she entered her room and settled on her lush white bed. She told Derrick, "No, Derrick. Miranda is not at fault here, and I cannot understand why you dislike her so much." Derrick frowned at his mother's statement. "Mom, I don't dislike her. I just feel she's up to something suspicious. I don't want any of them troubling you, because that would trouble me too," Derrick reassured his mother. Seeing the sincerity in her son's eyes, Lady Loretta agreed, "That's alright. I'm sure the incident won't happen again. But you shouldn't send any of them away." "Okay, Mother. I won't. Do you need anything else, or should I return to my room?" Derrick inquired. Lady Loretta needed a bottle of water from the kitchen, as she usually used it at t

Chapter 18

Alex looked perplexed as he watched Derrick leave him, climbing the flight of stairs. Not wanting to accept Derrick's rejection, Alex quickly chased after him. "Why, Uncle? You cannot tell me not to date Miranda. I'm not trying to play with her. I sincerely want her. I know she's a maid here, and she told me she lost her mother at a young age and also grew up in an orphanage." Derrick frowned as he walked into his sitting room on the top floor. He turned to look at Alex and said, "I don't care if she's a maid here or not. All I am saying is that you have an affair with Juliet, and you should try to settle things with her first. You shouldn't dare to sleep with Miranda here, and know that my mother particularly treasures that maid. If not, I could have terminated her contract before your recent arrival here." Alex scowled as he heard Derrick say that. As Derrick strolled away to his bedroom door, Alex said, "Uncle, maybe your mother wants you to marry the maid since you say she treas

Chapter 19

Carefully pulling the door open, Miranda was shocked to see Alex Jackson standing there in front of her room. "Hi, I wanted to have a conversation with you," Alex began, but before he could finish his sentence, Miranda quickly slammed the door in his face. She was afraid, wondering what he had come there to do. The loud sound of the door slamming alerted the other maids, and they rushed out to see what had happened. Seeing Alex standing behind Miranda's room door, the maids bowed and began to leave, but Alex was hungry and quickly called one of them back. He was embarrassed and enraged, not expecting Miranda to react that way. His nose hurt and twitched in pain. He told one of the maids, "Come here, go and get my dinner." Ella was stunned and frightened, not expecting to see Alex in the maids' quarters. Even Derrick rarely came there, but Alex was clearly after Miranda. Ella quickly left for the kitchen to arrange Alex's dinner as he pointed to her, and it was already past 11 p.m.

Chapter 20

"Derrick!" Lady Loretta scolded her son, startled by how he had raised his voice at Miranda. "Mom, I'm sorry, but why are you caring about the maid? She woke up late and is still delaying your breakfast. Don't you see how tardy she looks? She should be fired and sent away from here," Derrick said, his deep blue eyes fixed on Miranda. She was scared when she met his gaze, which looked deadly, as if he wanted to personally discipline her for daring to let his mother starve, knowing how much she enjoyed her services. "I... I am sorry, sir. I will go and serve Mother's breakfast now," Miranda quickly bolted away from them, and Alex remained silent. Alex didn't think too much about Derrick's reaction, knowing Derrick was principled and didn't tolerate nonsense or laziness. "That's okay, Derrick. You shouldn't be annoyed with Miranda. I'm not complaining about her being lazy. She's my maid, and I know we're all human and can get tired and worried sometimes. Not without all the drama tha
