Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

Mia felt a cold gaze drilling holes into the bare of her back and she instinctively turned around immediately. But as soon as she looked around, she found nothing. She saw nobody staring at her.

Pursing her lips slightly, she hastily imputed her digits in the man’s phone and handed it back to him.

Damien beamed with smiles. “Name?”

“Hum…Mi-Mia.”

“Mimia?”

Mia couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle at this.

“It’s Mia.” She blushed.

“Lovely name.”

“…” She blushed even deeper.

“Thank you, Mia.” Damien nodded his head calmly.

Mia bobbed and quickly shuffled away on her feet.

Damien simply stood silently as he watched her retreating figure.

“Mia…” He muttered.

Smirking, he retreated back into the restaurant.

–

Unknown to absolutely anyone, someone had been watching the two all those while.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

A cold icy man with an icy cold expression on his face sat silently behind the steering wheel of his taxicab, watching his so-called wife and his sworn enemy flirt with each other. From a corner by the other side of the road.

The man’s expression was dark and hostility raged uncontrollably in his heart.

Grinding his teeth hard, Shawn ignited the engine and zoomed off.

–

After Damien returned into the restaurant, he returned to his table and took his seat in a relaxed manner. He brought out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one.

Suddenly, from the side, someone approached him: “Boss, it is time to leave.”

The other man simply puffed out smoke from his mouth and said, “Give me five minutes, Joe.”

His right hand man bobbed and retreated.

Damien’s eyes darted slowly towards the restaurant’s doorway and he spaced out. After a while, he let out a throaty deep chuckle.

Despite his sister being away overseas, she still made sure she had him wrapped around her fingers.

The woman was away on vacation but she still had time to set him on a blind date. Another blind date.

Sigh. If it wasn’t for that girl, Mia, Damien didn’t know how he’d have been able to get out of the situation.

Was that true though? Well, it wasn’t. It was more of an excuse-an excuse to be able to strike up a conversation with her.

This wasn’t the first time Stella would be setting Damien up on a blind date, and each time, he always found a way of fending off the boring girls.

Damien chuckled and sucked in his teeth.

Earlier on, while Maria was busy engaging him in boring conversations, he’d suddenly caught sight of something from the corner of his eyes, through the restaurant’s glass windows.

He looked up and that was when he saw her-the girl from the previous day. She was walking rather too fast. Without thinking, Damien stood up from the chair and headed out of the restaurant. He was quick enough to collide with her right outside the restaurant’s door.

From the corner of his eyes, he saw that Marai had followed him outside.

And then, the next thing that came out of his mouth was: “Hey, baby.”

Letting out another chuckle, Damien put out the cigarette and got up from the chair. Afterwards, he headed out of the restaurant with his assistant trailing closely behind him.

As Shawn sped away to Beats Corporations’ headquarters, the scenario he witnessed before kept playing in his head. Damien and the girl together… What was between those two?

–

Earlier on, after Shawn left the corporation, it didn’t take long before he started having customers.

It was his fifth passenger for the day that he’d driven to the mall opposite HK Hospital when he caught sight of the girl.

After arriving at the mall and his passenger paid him, Shawn was about to reignite the car engine when his eyes landed on a familiar figure. It turned out to be his wife.

He froze momentarily when he saw that she was not alone. She was with a man, and the man had his arm wrapped around her neck. Instantly, the air around the CEO turned frizzy while his gaze turned dark. His blood began to boil at once.

What the fuck? What was the girl doing out there- with a man?

Then Shawn began to connect the dots. So that was it… That was probably the person she was with the previous day that made her return home very late.

His grip on the steering wheel tightened subconsciously.

Who could the man be? Her boyfriend? She had a boyfriend? Shawn’s jaw tightened.

But a few seconds later, the CEO was taken aback when he saw the face of his wife’s man. His eyes squinted as he tried to place a name to the man’s face.

It was indeed who he thought it to be. Damien. Damien Davis of DA Companies.

‘What’s this?’ Shawn’s eyelashes wavered.

What was the girl doing with his sworn enemy?

He blinked once as he continued to look on… The two seemed intimate. The look in their eyes as they exchanged glances… Certainly, the two were lovers.

Shawn let out a scoff and he bit on his lower lip.

All of a sudden, a thought played in his head. ‘Is she a spy?’

Did Damien send her to spy on him? Was that it?

Memories of the first day he met the girl came flooding the CEO’s head: The girl approached him and his grandfather first…

She knew the right timing-Grandpa Mandez was complaining about him not having a bride, and she showed up.

They got married that day… And the divorce papers, she lied that she lost them.

All of those were just so she could get close to him? So, Damien really sent her? Had she been feeding the guy with information about him?

Now, Shawn was extremely furious.

He should have gone through her documents. The background check documents he had Lucas compile.

Grounding his teeth in sheer irritation, Shawn immediately put a call through to Lucas. “I want every detail on that girl on my dest immediately.” His voice was deep and frightening.

Without waiting for a response, Shawn hung up the call.

Twice. He’d tried to go through those documents twice but he’d kept stopping himself for a reason unknown to him. Why?

Was it because he didn’t want to pry on her privacy? He didn’t want to intrude. Or perhaps, it was because he didn’t want to find out something as provoking and disappointing as what he’d witnessed today…

And to think that at the end of the day, without even having to go through the documents, his suspicions were all right… Again, at the end of the day, he’d have to get rid of her.

But first, he’d need to go through the hardcopy of the documents, thoroughly.

–

Immediately after Shawn drove into the corporation and parked his taxicab, he headed straight to his office.

The little change Mia had left in her purse was what she used to get herself home. As soon as she arrived, she rushed into the house immediately.

“I’m back!” She yelled out as usual from the doorway.

‘Although not for long, I’d soon be leaving again.’ She thought to herself.

Without wasting time, she was already on her way to the kitchen to find Madam Susan.

But as soon as she heard someone ask a question from the lounge area, she froze on the spot.

“Where are you coming from?” That was the question asked.

‘How come?’ Mia trembled.

Although she didn’t see the person who asked the question, she knew exactly to whom the voice belonged.

She needed no one to tell her. She wouldn’t mistake the aloof demi-god’s voice for another in the whole world.
