Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

Before Mia’s bum could come in contact with the dining chair, Shawn stood up and took large strides out of the huge dining area.

For the umpteenth time since the first day the two met, Mia was stunned.

The food had not even been dished out yet. Like, since he was already there, couldn’t he have waited and ate a little?

To think he left immediately she appeared-did she have a contagious disease? He left because of her?

Plus, he seemed angry… Did she do or say something wrong?-But she didn’t do anything.

Did the man find her unpleasant to his eyes? Or did she have body odour? Was her breath bad?

Mia raised her arms and sniffed her armpits. She didn’t perceive any foul odour. She wasn’t smelling…

Unconvinced, she beckoned at the maid standing in a corner at the far end of the dining table.

“Please, come sniff me.”

As the saying goes, you can’t smell your own stink. Sometimes, people need to rely on others to let them know if they have body odor, as they may not be aware of it themselves because they’ve become accustomed to it.

Clara was taken aback. “Sorry?” Perhaps she heard the girl wrongly.

Her eyes blinked rapidly. Sniff her? Was she a dog or what?

Mia chuckled awkwardly. “I know it’s silly of me to ask you to do that, but can you please help me?”

Clara: “…”

“…” The other maids who were working around the dining area couldn’t help but pause and stand still for a moment after they heard the Madam’s request.

They gaped at Mia and Clara with their mouths wide open. Their madam was just too weird. Was she even from this planet?

Sheesh. Who knew, one day it might be any of them in Clara’s shoes and the Madam wouldn’t ask them to sniff her armpits, but her bum instead? Gross.

Clara pressed her lips together to form a thin line. Well, the girl was the Madam of the house and she had to do what she instructed.

Slowly, she hunched low and did as ahe had been asked.

“So, do I have body odor?- you don’t need to lie to me to make me feel good.” Mia asked innocently with keen eyes.

Why was it that the man always disappeared as soon as she was within his eyesight? She wanted to know.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Clara gaped speechlessly at the girl, eyes unblinking.

After a few seconds, she responded to her question. “No, Madam.”

Oh. Mia lowered her gaze.

“Thank you.” She smiled appreciatively.

Clara nodded politely and retreated to her position.

Unbelievable! She rolled her eyes.

Mia’s mouth pursed thoughtfully. Since she didn’t have body odor, what then was the reason for the demi-god treating her in that manner? What could the problem possibly be? Why did he find her hideous and horrendous?

Sigh.

–

As soon as Shawn stepped out of the mansion, he shook his head in disapproval and his jaw tightened.

Just how did he get himself stuck with that uncultured ill-mannered girl?!

When Mia stepped into the dining room earlier, the first thing the CEO noticed was the girl’s arm. It was exposed.

She had removed the bandage. Why?

Even if her arm was no longer hurting, couldn’t she have been rational and patient enough to leave it for the doctor to actually determine whether it was okay to unwrap the bandage?

And to think he had made up his mind to take her to the hospital this morning to have her arm looked at.

Just, wow.

Shawn let out a sigh of exasperation and took large strides to the G Wagon that was already neatly parked a few feet away from the front doorway.

“I’m driving.” He blurted out and the chauffeur immediately handed the car key over to him.

The CEO climbed in the driver’s seat and drove out of the villa.

It was no news that he usually drove himself to work most times on the weekends. So the guards and chauffeur weren’t surprised at all when their boss said he’d be driving himself to work.

A while later, the CEO drove smoothly into his underground parking lot at his workplace. He parked the car and got down swiftly.

His personal assistant was already waiting for him there so he handed the car key over to him and they walked into the building through the secret door.

Together, they rode in Shawn’s private elevator to the CEO’s main office.

Since it was the weekend, when they arrived, the whole floor was empty.

Lucas held open the door for the CEO to step into his office and he also entered and closed the door behind him afterwards.

Immediately, Shawn took large strides straight into his private lounge area while Lucas waited for him in the office.

A few minutes later, an entirely different person stepped out of the lounge area.

If not that Lucas had seen his boss step into the lounge, he wouldn’t have believed that this person was the same man.

Despite it being over two years now, he still wasn’t used to his boss looking like this at all. Every weekend, he was always surprised and in disbelief as soon as the man changed into those clothes.

“What are you looking at? Let’s go.” Shawn commanded icily.

Locas quickly composed himself and led the way out of the office.

When they arrived in the parking lot again, he handed over another car key to his boss as they walked over to the other end.

He then pressed an almost invincible button on the wall and the wall started to move aside. Alas! It was a hidden door in disguise.

Behind the door revealed a really fine garage that had just a single car in it. The car’s body was covered.

Lucas walked briskly to the car and pulled off the cover, revealing a neat Toyota Prius taxicab.

Shawn unlocked the car, stepped in the driver’s seat and ignited the engine.

Lucas gazed silently at the Big Boss as he sat behind the wheel.

At first glance, the driver of the taxi appeared to be just another cabbie-wearing a yellow shirt and black pants with a name tag on his chest. But upon closer inspection, one would definitely notice that he had a commanding aura to him, despite his unassuming attire.

A few seconds later, Shawn zoomed out of Beats Corporation.

Right now, he wasn’t the CEO of the famous corporation-he was someone else entirely. An ordinary taxicab driver.

Staring into space, Lucas heaved a weary sigh. For how long would the Big Boss continue to do this?

He then walked silently out of the garage and pressed the button again. The secret wall door moved back to its normal position.

The CEO’s PA heaved another sigh and walked back into the corporation.
