Chapter 1 The birthday party
y. Who will look after my Dad's company?" Derrick asked.
His mother responded sadly, "You are right, but during your father's time, he didn't skip home for work. He attended parties. Or where did you think we met?"
Derrick rolled his eyes at his mother's words. "Fine, Mother. I will be at home now." He said, and the phone call ended.
"Running a multimillion-dollar company, my mother still wants me to prioritize a party over my work," Derrick mused.
He stood up from his office chair, shutting down his computer, he grabbed his briefcase case and left his office.
~~~~~~~~~
Arriving home in a brand new Prado Jeep, Derrick Luis got out of the vehicle and made his way ahead to his family's mansion.
He could hear the sound of music and frowned after seeing many guests' cars parked inside his late father's estate.
Walking forward, Derrick arrived at the mansion's exterior. He rang the doorbell, and the maid pulled the door open for him.
"Welcome, Master Derrick," the maid greeted.
Derrick ignored responding to the maid's greetings and was ushered by his mother, who was in the living room with many guests.
"Welcome, my son. Happy 25th birthday to you."
"Happy birthday, Master Derrick!" All the guests in the living room toasted to the new age of the young master.
"Thank you all," Derrick replied, and wanting to retire to his bedroom to rest, his mother stopped him.
"Derrick, it's still your birthday. Come cut your cake and make a wish."
Pausing at the stairs to look back at all the faces of the guests, his seven elder sisters, who were all married with children.
Derrick wanted to protest again that he was not a kid and didn't want a birthday party. However, he gulped down his protest as silence fell in the crowded living room.
Approaching his cake that was placed in the center of the living room, Derrick picked up the knife and cut the cake into two, and the guests clapped for him happily.
"Happy birthday, brother," his sisters cheered him excitedly.
"Thank you all," he replied.
"That's not all, Derrick. Make a wish." His mother urged.
"Oh, Mother. I am not a kid," Derrick finally protested, but his mother walked up to meet him as they were all standing in the living room.
"No one said you're a kid, but you're still my baby, so make a wish," his mother pleaded with an assuring smile.
Not wanting to make his mother sad, Derrick wished for a long life, a happy family, and a prosperous business.
"Happy birthday to you again, Master Derrick; we wish you all the best," The guests prayed and celebration continued with them drinking and chatting happily.
Derrick excused himself from the living room and went back to his bedroom on the top floor of the mansion.

Meanwhile, among the maids was Miranda Luis. A 22-year-old light-skinned woman.
Miranda had a crush on the master of the house. She was not the only one crushing on Derrick, but she couldn't get her eyes away from him.
She openly gawked at his handsomeness.
"Too handsome for one person," Miranda thought.
She had observed Derrick; he seemed very hardworking. He doesn't have time for women and is mostly focusing on his business alone.
Derrick doesn't even have a girlfriend, and Miranda was dripping wet with desire to get Derrick to notice her.
She was a poor lady and came from an orphanage home.
After her years of serving the elite as a maid, Miranda wants a classic life. She didn't want to return to poverty.
In the Luis mansion, maids were expected to dress casually. There was no fashionable competition in the household as all the daughters of the Luis family were married, including Derrick's most immediate elder sister, Nicole Luis.
"Come on, Alexa, I want to introduce you to my brother, Derrick. I fear he might be gay. Why won't he have a girlfriend at this age? Don't you find it weird?" Nicole spoke to her friend, Alexa Godwin. As she brought Alexa along to her brother's birthday party.
Alexa works as a secretary at Luis Group, a multimillion-dollar firm. And she would admit that she hadn't seen any young lady come to the office to visit Derrick.
"I don't think he's gay. Master Derrick is just too busy to notice any woman," Alexa replied. She wore a seductive red dress and black shoes. She arrived at the Luis mansion just after Derrick left the company.
Alexa was also interested in Derrick. She wanted him because she was just 22 years old. She knows that having a man like Derrick as her husband in the future.
It meant she doesn't need to work much or suffer to feed herself, as his family's wealth is enough to cover all her lifetime expenditures.
"Alexa, what do you think of my brother, Derrick? Do you not have a crush on him? If my senior sisters hasn't spoken to me about introducing you to Derrick to work as his new secretary after my leave, do you think I only accepted you based on friendship alone? Come now," Nicole grabbed Alexa's hand and led the younger woman to the top floor, where there were no guests.
Alexa was nervous. For a year, she had been working as Derrick's personal secretary based on Nicole's influence. She hasn't crossed the limit or tried to get his attention.
Derrick was mean, and she feared what he would do to her if she dared to cross the limit.
