Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

And just like that, Mia was driven away in the patrol car.

Once Shawn entered his room, he settled onto his bed and started reviewing the file once more.

Immediately after leaving Beats Corporation, he drove straight to his house. Upon arrival, he inquired, “Is she here?”

The nearest maid lowered her gaze and responded, “No, Master. Madam left in the morning and hasn’t returned yet.”

Shawn’s eyes narrowed. Could she still be with Damien?

He strode purposefully to the lounge and seated himself in an armchair. Regardless of how many hours it took, she would eventually come and meet him there, he resolved.

Glancing at the green file in his hand, it seemed strangely lacking in content. He contemplated it for a moment before finally opening it.

After a couple of minutes, he realized he had been mistaken about the girl all along, right from the beginning. She harbored no ulterior motives when she first approached him-it was purely coincidental. She wasn’t interested in his wealth, she wasn’t driven by greed, and she certainly wasn’t a gold digger.

The man had been wrong about Mia; all the information in the file contradicted his presumptions. She was not who he had assumed her to be, and she wasn’t even a spy.

For the first time in several years, the CEO found himself in error.

After thoroughly examining the file, he closed it and averted his gaze.

Shortly thereafter, a resounding voice echoed throughout the entire house, “I’m back!”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Unable to restrain himself, he coldly inquired, “Where have you been?”

Back To The Present Time:

As Shawn perused the documents once more, an unexpected sense of relief washed over him. He couldn’t quite explain it, but he was glad that the girl didn’t turn out to be what he had initially believed.

On the whole, it was a positive outcome.

However, he reminded himself that she was merely a temporary presence in his life. Once her services were no longer required, he would dispose of her.

But then, what was her connection to Damien?

Just as he contemplated this, Shawn’s phone began to ring in his pocket. Retrieving it, he answered the call upon seeing the caller ID.

“Well?”

“Boss, they have no relationship whatsoever. They only met for the first time yesterday. They’re complete strangers,” Lucas provided a detailed explanation.

Strangers? It didn’t seem that way, though. But if they had just met yesterday…

Once again, the CEO found himself mistaken.

Nonetheless, what then were they doing together?

The girl, though. How could she allow a stranger to hold her in such a manner? Someone she had met only a day before. Shawn was left speechless.

He listened patiently as Lucas continued his report. When the assistant finished speaking, Shawn pressed his lips together, a hint of displeasure crossing his face.

So, that was it. She had helped Damien find his niece. That explained why she returned home late the previous day. It wasn’t that she left the house to meet him this morning; she had actually gone to the hospital…

Once again, Shawn was rendered speechless. However, this time, it wasn’t because of the girl, but because of his own misjudgment.

Without uttering a word, he ended the call, leaving Lucas speechless in turn. The assistant blinked at his phone before shaking his head disapprovingly. His boss was too much.

After using him, Shawn simply discarded him. Life didn’t work that way.

Shortly after Shawn ended the call, his phone rang again. Knowing it was Lucas, he answered with irritation evident in his voice.

“What?”

Why was the man bothering him? He was busy.

“Sir, I just received a call from the police. Someone attempted to use your debit card for payment.”

The CEO’s brow furrowed immediately.

“The person has been apprehended, and I’m already on my way to the station.”

Something clicked in Shawn’s mind. He recalled having shared the card’s PIN with the girl a while ago. Shit! It was her.

The person Lucas referred to was his wife.

“Send me the address,” he demanded, standing up abruptly.

“I’ve got it under control, Sir-”

Shawn’s voice cut in sharply, his tone shrill. “Send me the goddamn address.”

There was no room for discussion. “Okay, Sir.”

He hung up and picked up his tuxedo from the bed. Then, he strode purposefully out of the room and toward the front door.

“We’re going somewhere,” he ordered, and dozens of men promptly headed to the garage.

It had been a while since they had embarked on a mission with the Big Boss, so Shawn’s men were filled with excitement.

A short time later, a convoy of cars sped out of Magnificent, with the vehicle carrying the CEO leading the way.

–

Upon Lucas’s arrival at the police station, it wasn’t long before Shawn and his entourage arrived in their convoy. Despite bringing only a limited number of men, Lucas found himself speechless. He didn’t need to see who was in the lead vehicle to know that his boss had arrived.

Why was Shawn so invested in this matter? Could it be because money was at stake-his money? After all, the CEO was a shrewd businessman.

However, upon reflection, Lucas realized that Shawn hadn’t mentioned losing any of his cards, and he wasn’t one to be careless. If it weren’t for the police contacting him, Lucas would still be unaware of the lost debit card.

Putting these thoughts aside, the CEO’s personal assistant swiftly approached and positioned himself by Shawn’s car side as one of their men opened the backseat door for the Big Boss.

Shawn’s slender yet sturdy legs emerged, followed by the rest of his body. Lucas nodded respectfully and took the lead, guiding him into the police station. A few bodyguards trailed behind, while the remaining members of their group stood guard outside.

At the entrance, a pair of bewildered policemen who were awaiting the arrival of CEO Shawn’s personal assistant blinked their eyes rapidly.

When they spotted him as soon arrived, they began making their way towards him, only to be caught off guard when he abruptly changed course and hurried towards a different direction.

Puzzled, they questioned whether he had not noticed the entrance. Where was he headed, they wondered.

Before long, their attention was drawn to a strikingly tall and captivating man emerging from another vehicle. Assistant Lucas respectfully bowed to him.

Shortly thereafter, a group of men started to approach them. Among them was the P. A, along with a man who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time, positioned right in the center of the group. Despite his slender build, an air of authority surrounded him. It was evident from his cold, stoic, and distant expression that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Who was the man?

Only a select few recognized Shawn Mandez, individuals with whom he had collaborated or formed partnerships-individuals within his business network.

His image proved elusive, as it was rare to come across a photograph of Shawn Mandez. However, his name resonated far and wide, reaching both the young and the old, as well as men and women alike.

So, it was only right that the humble chief of police and his team failed to recognize Shawn Mandez, the esteemed CEO of the Beats Corporations. Nevertheless, judging by appearances, they could reasonably deduce that the man emanating a commanding presence was indeed him.
