Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

‘Very soon, I’ll find out your secret. Very soon.’ Martha thought to herself.

But she maintained a smile on her face, staring sweetly at Mia.

She was annoyed that she had no idea what was going on in the girl’s life anymore.

Before, she used to know absolutely everything when it came to Mia. For instance, what she was planning, what she was going through at the moment, her family, every detail of her relationship with Max- That was how she was able to come between her and Max.

Even when Martha was uninterested in listening to anything, Mia would still discuss everything with her.

But now, things had changed.

What changed though?

The girl had started keeping secrets from her.

Since the moment Mia moved out of their room, she no longer let Martha in on anything again.

She stopped talking to her about literally everything.

To make matters worse, Vicky and her cohort were expelled.

And to think that the kids at school had also quietened down these past few days. No one bugged Mia any longer.

Why? All because of the kids that were expelled…

Now, Mia was acting and moving around as she liked.

Just like everyone else, Martha was caught off guard by those kids’ expulsion. She never saw it coming at all. Most especially Vicky’s.

The girl got away with anything and everything. What happened this time around? What changed?

Who would have thought that her family would even later end up in a very big mess?

With Vicky gone, the kids retreated from Mia’s case. They no longer pointed accusing fingers at her, or talk bad about her boldly.

They were scared for their lives. Cowards!

What Martha wanted to know the most right now was where Mia was staying and with whom she was staying.

And she’d find out just that. Very soon.

–

Grinning, Martha linked arms with Mia and they all began to head out of the school premises together.

As they chatted on and on, Martha’s steps suddenly halted as if she just remembered something. She then reached in her school uniform and brought out a silver necklace that was concealed under her school shirt and draped around her neck.

“Mia, look what Max got me. You really need to thank him for me, he’s been nothing but good to me. He spoils me silly!”

“He’s just too much-too caring! He showers me with gifts all the time.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Mia took a glance at the necklace. It looked somewhat familiar.

Then she recollected it was the same one she’d once seen before in Max’s possession.

The necklace had the same initials ‘MM’.

It was the necklace she’d thought he was going to give on the night he broke up with her.

So, it was meant for Martha…

Mia felt awkward right now. But she put on a smile anyway and turned to face Max. “Thank you.”

There was nothing to be sad about. It was nothing to mull over-there was absolutely nothing wrong with a guy giving his girlfriend gifts.

There was nothing wrong with Martha sharing exciting news with her. They were best friends, it was supposed to be like that.

Mia convinced herself inwardly as she tried to get her mind off the necklace.

Max nodded at her and the trio resumed walking again.

Secretly, he snuck a glance at Mia; the girl didn’t seem bothered at all about what she just heard. Her expression was simply calm.

For some reasons unknown to him, Max was slightly disappointed by this.

Wasn’t she supposed to feel jealous and perhaps tear up?

It was as if she never once loved him-or had she gotten over him? Just like that?

No. That was ridiculous-Mia loved him more than to ever move on from him within the space of a few weeks.

It would probably take the girl her entire life to get over him.

Maybe she was just being so good at concealing her true feelings, Max convinced himself.

To be sincere, that necklace… Max shook his head.

Martha also snuck a glance at Mia as they approached the school’s main gates. Seeing how quiet the girl was, she smirked secretly.

‘That’s right. Jealousy is what you should be feeling right now. Max is now mine and mine alone. Every thought you’re harbouring of him coming back to you, discard it.’

As soon as the three friends stepped outside the school, Mia unlinked her arm from Martha and turned to face the couple.

Smiling, she said, “I’ll be on my way now. Bye.” She waved and began heading in the opposite direction.

Martha waved back while Max simply nodded his head.

They also turned around in the other direction and headed towards the car that came to pick Max up.

“Do you think what I said triggered Mia just now?” Martha took a peek at Max.

“Aishh! I’m so stupid! I shouldn’t have said that.” She dug her fists in her palm and ruffled her hair exasperatedly.

Max looked at her calmly and smiled. She was just too cute.

Although he knew deep down that Martha wasn’t supposed to make mention of things like that to Mia since she was his ex. But then, Mia was also Martha’s best friend. It was only right to share good news with one’s best friend.

In fact, he’d secretly wanted Martha to speak about the gift to Mia… In his presence. That way, he’d be able to see if the girl would be jealous.

All in all, what Martha did wasn’t bad at all. She was too excited about the necklace and she instantly shared the news with Mia.

There was nothing wrong with that.

Max removed Martha’s hands from her hair and then began to straighten out her hair that she had messed up.

“You’re not stupid. And there’s nothing for Mia to be triggered about. We’re no longer together, anyway.”

Martha nodded her head and smiled shyly at her boyfriend.

The couple then resumed walking, hands entwined.

Just then, something flashed through Max’s eyes as he recollected something.

“Martha, when are we going to tell everyone that we’re now back together?” He asked.

Martha’s body went rigid for a second. She was so stunned by what he said but she quickly collected herself and responded. “Soon. Soon.”

Max nodded his head.

When they arrived by the car, Max gave Martha a kiss on the cheek before getting in.

“See you later.”

Martha blushed deeply and waved until the car was out of sight.

As soon as the car was no longer in sight, she scowled.

She had completely forgotten about announcing their relationship to the kids at school.

Whatever.
