A Mistaken Night With The CEO

Chapter 5| Resisting Temptations

Derrick hadn't thought he would be able to resist Miranda. She was so attractive; her hips had awakened something deep within him. After returning to his bathroom, he wanted to take a bath to calm his arousal, but then he remembered that Miranda had used his bath.

Derrick had never shared his bathroom with anyone before, and now a maid of low status dared to use his bathroom, sponge, and soap. He felt irritated and wanted to discipline her, but how could he report such news to his mother? She was already over 70 years old. What if she had a heart attack from the shock?

"No, I cannot let my mother find out about this," Derrick said to himself. He was enraged, as his desire still throbbed and ached, needing relief.

"Damn it! What kind of temptation is this? I guess I should have that maid fired tomorrow morning. Isn't she the same maid who dared to beat up Melody? I see she's on a mission here, and I will deal with her personally tomorrow," Derrick affirmed.

Moving away from the bathroom door, where he had been standing and staring with irritation, Derrick walked up to the pristine bathtub and cleaned it thoroughly. He washed his soap and sponge, feeling irritated that Miranda had used them.

"Miranda," he mused, saying her name. "She dared to cross the line and use my things. I will deal with her later."

After cleaning his bathtub completely, Derrick prepared his bath and finally entered the tub. He remembered seeing Miranda naked when he opened the bathroom door.

"Oh! I shouldn't have opened the door after hearing her voice. She had such a nice, soothing voice," Derrick thought about Miranda's lovely voice and the way she moaned when he touched her cheek to check if she was hurt.

Her skin was so soft and soothing to his touch.

Despite staying in the cold bath, Derrick didn't bother to mix the water with hot water to warm it up.

He remembered how Miranda's cheek felt at his touch. "Her body was so soft. Damn it! I should get a girlfriend to get some release. I cannot bring myself to sleep with a maid. No way, I cannot."

Pushing thoughts of Miranda to the back of his mind, Derrick finally got out of the bathtub after spending hours bathing.

The heavy rain had already started, covering the night sky and flooding the city roads. Derrick stood by his room window, staring out at the torrential rain.

He remembered that he hadn't even called his elder sister to confirm if she had gotten home safely.

With a sigh, Derrick moved away from the window after shutting the curtains and closing it to prevent the rain from entering his bedroom.

He saw that it was already past midnight and decided against calling his sister, knowing she lived only a short distance from the family mansion.

Walking up to his exquisite bed, Derrick picked up his body lotion from the drawer. He moisturized his body and went into his closet to grab some sleeping clothes. He put on a white night robe and climbed onto his lush bed to sleep.

As he shut his eyes, the memory of holding Miranda came flooding back. The weather wasn't helping, as he needed a warm body to keep him warm. He was also sweating, so he tossed his bedcover away and sat up.

Derrick hadn't thought much about having s*x. At 25, he had few friends, suspecting them to be foes. He knew he couldn't trust any of them. He trusted Alexa, as she was a loyal staff member, and after working with him for a year, he had no issues with her.

"Or is Alexa pretending to make me like her?" Derrick wondered. He couldn't go to a hotel to find a woman, and he wasn't the type to indulge in adult content for release. He desired to have Miranda in his bed and pleasure her, and his body reacted strongly to that thought.

Derrick groaned and left his bedroom for his study room to busy himself, as he couldn't sleep or think of anything else except Miranda's nude body.

Meanwhile, Miranda had returned to her maid's room on the lower floor of the mansion. She felt sad, remembering how Derrick made it clear she was of lower status and that he had nothing to do with her.

Miranda had thought that after Derrick saw her naked, he might take her to bed.

"What was I even thinking? What if Master Derrick sends me away tomorrow? Oh my God! I haven't even saved enough to start the business I want."

Miranda remembered her first salary since working at the Luis mansion after graduating from college. She had used part of her monthly pay to donate to an orphanage and saved the rest to purchase land in a distant area. She wanted to own a mall—a big supermarket in her name—where she would sell various items.

That was five years ago, and she had an agent helping her build the mall to her taste. She hadn't visited the area since purchasing the land, but she heard from the agent that many contractors wanted to buy it to build another company.

Miranda heard the area had developed, and a company offered her 10 million to sell her land, as it was on the road and in the heart of the town.

The town had developed compared to five years ago, but Miranda wanted to use the land. She planned to relocate there after completing the building and establishing herself. She wouldn't remain a servant, and she hoped for a wonderful man to marry her.

Wiping her tears away, Miranda walked to her room window to shut it after the heavy wind pushed her curtains aside. The Luis family was benevolent and allowed the maids to have separate rooms in the magnificent home.

Miranda stripped off her dirty pink gown after closing the window. She tried not to think about Master Derrick again, even though her heart yearned to be with him. She decided to focus on her job and save enough money to establish herself.

"Maybe two years from now, I'll be done with my services here, then I'll move to the other town to start my business."

A satisfied smile curled up on Miranda's lips as she envisioned a life where she would be referred to as Madam. She had prayed for a man to elevate her status, but knowing how prideful men were. Miranda decided to become as prideful as them and as arrogant as she might be when she acquired wealth.

When morning arrived, Miranda was sleeping under the bed covers when the head maid, Juliet, barged into the room and tapped her shoulder roughly.

"Miranda! Wake up! Lady Loretta has summoned you to the living room."
