Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

***

The CEO of Beats Corporation was in a foul mood all day. Ever since he stepped into the corporation in the morning, his demeanor had been aggressive towards everyone.

Shawn particularly despised the fact that his mood was affected by that girl. Once again, her words seemed to have a significant impact on him, and it frustrated him to no end.

As he worked, Shawn kept glancing at the time on his luxurious wristwatch. Since she was the reason behind his edginess throughout the day, she would have to face the consequences.

At precisely four o’clock, the CEO stood up from behind his desk, grabbed his overcoat from the coat rack, and briskly walked out of the office.

He had informed Lucas beforehand that they would be going to Mia’s school, so his personal assistant was already waiting for him in the underground car park.

Without wasting any time, Lucas drove straight to the school. When they arrived, Lucas understood that it would be better not to park the car too close to the entrance, considering the secrecy of the relationship between the Madam and the Big Boss. Instead, he parked the car under a tree in a secluded corner and then stepped out to wait for the Madam outside the school entrance.

Classes had just ended for the day, and students were pouring out of the school premises in groups, engaged in fervent gossip. The news about Mia Thompson’s drama had spread throughout the entire school, becoming the topic of conversation for everyone:

“That girl needs help.”

“Is it true she’s involved in prostitution?”

“Can you believe her father did that to her?”

“Damn! She has such a troubled life.”

“Mia is possessed, I’m telling you.”

Lucas, oblivious to the gossip, stood patiently in one spot, waiting for the Madam to appear. However, after five minutes, he saw no sign of her. But the Big Boss said she knew that they were coming. Did she forget about their meeting and leave already? Just as he was about to ask one of the students for assistance, he heard a familiar voice call his name.

Lucas turned his gaze in the direction of the voice and saw Damien Davis approaching him.

“Good day, Sir Damien,” He greeted politely, bowing his head.

Damien furrowed his brows and smirked. “Well, well, if it isn’t the one and only Assistant Lucas…”

“What brings you here? I don’t recall you having a teenage child…” Damien raised an eyebrow questioningly.

Lucas maintained his polite smile.

Damien continued to scrutinize him skeptically. “Or do you actually have someone attending this school? Or perhaps, do you have an employee here?”

Then his eyes narrowed. “Is it Shawn? Did he send you here? Why?”

Lucas was about to respond when his phone buzzed in his pocket. He took it out and answered the call. Within seconds, his eyes widened in surprise.

A few moments later, he turned to Damien and said, “Excuse me, Sir Damien.”

With a slight bow, he walked away.

The playful smirk on Damien’s face vanished as he watched Lucas walk away. What was that man’s assistant doing there? It seemed like he was waiting for someone, but who could it be?

“Who is the person?” Damien wondered to himself.

“Boss, I just received a call from the Chief of Police. The Madam is at the police station,” Lucas informed as soon as he got back into the car.

Before he could say anything more, the CEO interrupted, “Head to the police station.”

Immediately they arrived, both Shawn and his assistant stepped out of the car, quickly making their way into the police station.

Lucas was deeply worried, and so was Shawn. They had no idea how Mia ended up there, but they feared she must have gotten into trouble.

Upon entering the station, the Chief of Police greeted them and led the way to his office, trying to put as much distance between himself and CEO Shawn as possible. The CEO of Beats Corporation was just too intimidating to be around.

Shawn glanced at the Chief’s retreating back, his eyes filled with anger. If the man had locked his wife up again… he wouldn’t live to see the next day.

Suddenly, the Chief sneezed. Who was speaking ill of him?

They entered the office, and what the Big Boss and his assistant saw stunned them.

The girl they were worried about was sitting in a chair, holding a cup of milkshake in one hand and biscuits in the other. She looked relaxed, as if she were in the comfort of her own home, unharmed and unconcerned. Shawn blinked in astonishment, while Lucas couldn’t help but cough incessantly.

“Please, sirs, have a seat,” the Chief gestured to the chairs.

Mia turned around upon hearing the chief’s words and saw two strikingly handsome men standing in the doorway. One of them was her husband-the most dazzling of them all.

“Oh, you’re here,” She said, her voice meek and soft.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

She quickly rose to her feet.

Regaining his composure, Shawn pressed his lips tightly. He had rushed all the way there for this… for nothing. There was clearly nothing wrong with the girl, so why was she at the police station again? Did she have a penchant for visiting this place? After all, she had been there just yesterday.

He stole a quick glance at her face and then looked away. But a few seconds later, he froze. He turned his head back, fixating his eyes on her face again. What the hell? What were those marks on both sides of her face?

Shawn’s face paled, and he swiftly approached Mia, closing the distance between them. He raised his hand and gently turned her face from side to side. His expression darkened instantly. There were visible handprints on her cheeks, which were now red. He also noticed her swollen eyes-she had been crying.

The CEO turned sharply and shot a deadly glare at the chief of police.

“It wasn’t me. I didn’t do it, Sir,” the Chief quickly defended himself, shaking his head vigorously.

Meanwhile, Mia continued munching on her biscuits, blinking in silence. What was going on?

Without uttering a word, Shawn grabbed her wrist and led her away. Lucas, on the other hand, faced the Chief and nodded curtly. “Thank you.”

With that, he turned around and hurried to catch up with the CEO and the Madam. The Chief of Police was left standing speechless in his office. What had just happened? They left so abruptly? Couldn’t they have shown some gratitude? He had even entertained the girl and bought her the biscuits and milkshake she wanted.

Well, at least he hadn’t been locked up for five hours today, that was enough gratitude. And to think he almost got himself into trouble again…

When Mia’s father had brought her earlier and demanded that she be locked up, the Chief had ordered two of his men to do so. However, as they were leading the girl to a cell, he noticed that she looked familiar from behind-very familiar.

He quickly ordered his men to stop and approached them. He stood in front of the girl, silently praying that she wouldn’t turn out to be who he suspected her to be.

He crouched low, tilting his head up slightly, and examined her face. He almost wet his pants when he realized that she was indeed the girl from the previous day.

It was a close call. The Chief immediately ordered the girl to be let go, almost shitting his pants.
