บททั้งหมดของ A Mistaken Night With The CEO : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

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

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

"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

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

"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
