Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

The only thing that could make his grandfather pleased, right now, was if he got married. But that was the one thing the CEO wasn’t ready to do. In fact, marriage wasn’t among his plans at all. However, now, for his dying grandfather, he’d have to do it. Get married. The search for a wife officially began. Shawn began to make a mental list of all the girls he could choose a bride from. There was none. Absolutely none. He found that all of them were either after his fame, money, or the position of the madam of Beats Corporations. Rubbish. The CEO scoffed exasperatedly. Whether he likes it or not, he has to choose one out of all of those despicable people… He had no choice. And this angered him greatly. Who would he choose to marry?… Right at this moment, something flashed through his eyes. In reality, he was, in fact, already married. That girl… That tiny little girl… The girl from this morning… The CEO pursed his lips. Could she have signed the divorce papers already? But wait. Is he making the right decision by choosing her? Her attitude this morning was… She was just too forward… Look at the way she had jumped at him… Well, she’d made her intention of being a gold digger known from the very beginning. Should he be somewhat relieved about that? Looking on the bright side, Grandpa already knew her… he was even the one that had them get married in the first place… The old man would be super doper happy when he finds out he and the girl are still together. But what if she’s signed the papers already? Even if she has, he’ll simply tear everything up–and they’re back to being married. They can even always sign another marriage certificate. He’s the famous CEO of Beats Corporation. He just hopes the girl won’t turn out to be a pain in his ass.

After pondering over his decision for what seemed to be about two hours, the CEO picked up his phone beside him–on the bed, and dialed his personal assistant’s number. Lucas wasn’t the least surprised to see that it was his boss calling him this late in the middle of the night. He was used to it. As usual, the big boss was calling for a work-related issue. Without wasting time, he swiped the answer icon and pressed his phone on hus ear. “Boss.” “Send me every detail about that girl.” Shawn hung up the call without giving his personal assistant any chance to reply. On hearing ‘beep beep’, Lucas immediately knew that his boss had hung up. But he still replied, “yes, boss.” He then removed the phone from his ear and began to work on the assignment given to him. He knew who his boss was referring to… Although, he wanted, badly, to know what it was that the big boss wanted with lady’s background check but he was in no place to poke his nose into the affairs of the CEO. So, he simply did as he was told. No questions asked. It didn’t take Lucas up to five minutes before he was done. Shawn’s phone dinged an he knew at once that his personal assistant had sent the file. Whether or not the girl was going to remain his wife, it would soon be determined. ***

Very early the following day, Mia and Martha–the two jolly good friends–dressed up and headed to school. AS soon as they arrived in the school, gasps, whispers, and murmurs broke out all around them. It turned out that news of how Mia was the real third wheel in Max and Martha’s relationship had spread around the entire school. Students gathered and formed circles in every corner of the school, gossiping about the latest circulating gist. Immediately they set their eyes on the two major female characters of the gist, as they stepped into school, they all started eyeing Mia with eyes full of disgust and resentment. “Look at her, shameless girl!” “She even has the gut to come to school…!” “She’s even walking side by side Martha, HUmph!” Everyone criticized the girl glaringly. Martha quickly stood up for her friend. “What is the problem with you guys? What are you talking about?” She didn’t like that the kids were hauling abuses at her best friend. Her action made the students shake their head in pity. “Martha, stop covering up for this wench!” “Yes, we know about everything now.” Martha was confused, “huh? What are you talking about?” “We know that you and Max used to be together before Mia came in between you two and snatched Max from you!” The girl gasped at once. She was extremely shocked. How did they find out? Her best friend would be slandered now… “How did you find out?” She asked in a tone of urgency. Her question confirmed that the allegations against Mia were indeed true and this made the students glare at her in a more resentful manner. Boyfriend snatcher! “Humph! A recording of her confession was sent to the school’s platform.” Martha hastily rummaged through her school bag for her phone. She clicked on the students’ group and saw that a recording had indeed been dropped. She downloaded it and played it–it was loud enough for everyone around to hear. “You and Max used to be together but I disrupted your relationship and stole Max from you. And that you have both fallen in love with each other again, and you’re back together.” The voice note had been perfectly edited, and the way Mia sounded in it made it seem like she even was mocking Martha. What followed after the words was the sound of a little girl crying and everyone immediately recognized it as Martha’s voice. LIstening to that voice note again made all the students go bonkers. They were filled with more rage and they pointed accusing fingers at Mia, yelling foul words at her. This scene broke Martha’s heart and tears began to stream down her face. “You guys should stop. It’s not Mia’s fault… you don’t understand.” She cried heartbreakingly. This further made the students feel extremely sorry for her. The girl was still protecting her friend despite the bitch ruining her relationship. Such a rare gem. All this while, Mia simply stood on the same spot and kept mute. She seemed fazed and extremely shocked. Yes, the voice from the recording belongs to her… but the recording itself was edited… that’s not the full version. How come? And it was only her and Martha that were in the room yesterday. In fact, they were the only ones in the dormitory at that time… so, how come?”Why are you still defending her after everything she’s done to you?” “Exactly. If I were you, I’ll stop being friends with her.” “I mean, look at the person you’re defending. She isn’t even saying anything.” “She doesn’t feel remorseful. “At all. Humph.” They all expected Mia to have started crying buckets of tears by now, instead, it was the other way round. Her face was completely dry.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
