Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

Shawn took a look at himself in the mirror one last time.

Despite the dark circles that were visible under his eyes, he looked impeccable, his pale face exuding charm and confidence as usual.

“How do I look?” He turned to face Madam Susan.

Although he lost his father way back when he was young, he only lost his mother two years ago to a motor accident.

Ever since then, Madam Susan had been a mother figure to Shawn-no-she was a grandma figure to him.

His grandmother passed away even before he was born.

Madam Susan had been by his side from the moment before he took his first step.

“Perfect, as always.” The elderly woman grinned.

Shawn nodded his head.

“Since you’re ready, it’s time for you to go get the Madam.”

Shawn froze momentarily, his brows furrowing. Why did it have to be him?

Moments from this afternoon came flooding his head and his mouth twitched a little.

Did he perhaps go harsh on her?…

“Okay.”

–

Few minutes later, the CEO stepped gallantly out of his room.

He took large strides and soon came face-to-face with the door that led into the girl’s room. He frowned.

Hesitating for a second, he swung the door open and walked in.

Mia shrieked at once, jumping up in fear.

‘Has he come to…?” She swallowed a big lump uneasily.

Her heart beat erratically in her chest. ‘Are we going to…’

‘Is he…’

‘Are we doing it in my room?’

She was frightened at the thoughts playing in her head.

“Please…’ She sobbed, rubbing her hands in a pleading manner.

A tear dropped from her eye as she tried to get words out of her mouth. It was as if they were stuck in her throat.

“I’m not ready yet.” Another tear dropped from her other eye.

Shawn swept a cold look over her and scrunched up his face. ‘What’s this dumb girl saying?’

Mia’s whole body trembled in fear at his facial expression. Was he going to use force on her since she wasn’t ready yet?

She began to cry hot tears.

Shawn was taken aback. ‘What’s going on.’

‘Why’s she crying?’

‘Is she suffering from a mental illness?’

‘Why is it that she’s always quick to cry?’

The CEO seemed frustrated. At first, he was mesmerised by the way she looked tonight, but the girl didn’t even give him the chance to let her take his breath away as she was already crying like an infant.

Pressing his mouth into a thin line, he said, “Come with me.”

The demi-god’s frosting voice flung senses back into Mia. She paused.

Huh? Were they not going to do it in her room?

Was he taking her to his room?

“Do you need hearing aids?” When Shawn saw that the girl remained unmoving, he couldn’t help but growl at her.

Mia’s shoulders drooped at once. Surrendering to her fate, she shuffled quickly across the room to meet him.

‘Nitwit.’ Shawn frowned.

He turned around and headed for the staircases while Mia trailed closely after him.

After descending the stairs, he led her out through the front door.

Mia’s brows drew in confusion. Where were they going?

Did she get it all wrong before?

It wasn’t until now that Mia took notice of how Shawn was dressed.

He was wearing a t-shirt and matching pants.

Well, if they were actually going to do what she thought they were, would he be dressed in this manner?Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Plus, they were already outside the house…

The girl was totally confused.

Just then, her thoughts were interrupted by the man’s cold voice. “Be polite and keep your mouth shut. Speak only when you need to.”

“Also, if Grandpa asks you about the divorce papers, tell him you didn’t sign it.” Shawn warned sternly without turning back.

A few seconds later, Mia picked up on where they were headed-to meet the Grandpa from the other day.

Considering that they were going to meet him on foot, he must be close. Probably, he also lived in the residential area.

“Don’t embarrass me.” Shawn gave a final warning.

Not once did he turn to look at her as he spoke.

If the girl blew their cover in front of the old man, he’d be damned.

All he wanted to do was make the old man happy. He wouldn’t like it if the girl went and messed things up.

About two hours ago, when he was on his way back from work, his grandfather had called to tell him that he’d be going over to his grandson’s place for dinner-like he always did.

The CEO’d kicked against it and offered to go over to the old man’s instead.

The man was old and sick, he shouldn’t be moving around too much.

Plus, he’d intended on surprising the old man with the girl but since they were unable to take couple photos yesterday, due to the girl’s injury, they didn’t have any portraits hanging in their home.

The old champ would definitely suspect they were faking their marriage.

So instead of Grandpa Mandez coming over to the house, he and his wife were going over to his.

Mia nodded her head meekly like the man in front of her had eyes behind his head. She remained silent, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

What she thought was going to happen wasn’t what was happening.

She peeked at Shawn and let out a small smile.

Soon, they arrived at the front door of Grandpa Mandez’s mansion.

Like he’d been expecting for the young master’s arrival, Anderson, the Grandpa Mandez’s steward, opened the door immediately.

With a warm smile on his face, he bobbed his head politely and began to lead the young man inside.

“Someone else is coming.” Shawn muttered as he followed the steward, feeling slightly irritated

The girl was just too slow. Slower than a turtle. She couldn’t keep up, so he left her behind to walk at her own pace.

‘After a hundred years, she’ll get here.’ The CEO ground his teeth.

Grandpa Mandez was already seated at the dining table, patiently waiting for his grandson.

When he sighted the young man, he grinned widely.

To be sincere, he didn’t expect the boy would show up at all.

Most of the time, whenever he asked for them to have dinner together, Shawn would always reject the offer, using work as an excuse.

At some point, the old man regretted handing over the position of the CEO of the corporation to his grandson.

He was always working and hardly had any time for himself.

Since the boy took up the role of the CEO, at a very young age, his social life had completely depreciated.

In fact, that was the reason why Grandpa Mandez wanted the boy to find a wife as soon as possible, before he-Grandpa Mandez-became no more and was no longer there for him.

And to think that when he was finally able to get Shawn to sign the marriage certificates, he divorced his wife immediately after.

So sad.
