Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

–

Mia was on her way to the alley and she hadn’t gone far away from the school when someone approached her all of a sudden and said: “Hello.”

With a sudden upward glance, Mia was entranced by the beauty of a pair of piercing blue eyes.

Right before her was a man standing tall with broad shoulders and a chiseled jawline, the kind that made you take notice. His tousled black hair was styled in a messy quiff and his deep blue eyes held a mischievous glint in them.

He was dressed in a well-fitted T-shirt and black jeans that fit him like a glove, which only added to the air of confidence and playfulness he was exuding.

For a moment, Mia felt completely lost. She was mesmerized.

How could a man look so charming and glamorous?

But the man’s soothing voice soon pulled her out of her reverie. “Did you hear what I just said, Miss?”

Mia blinked frantically as she gazed at him. She was a bit taller than her so she had to angle up her head to see his face.

He had a carefree smile tugged at the corner of his mouth which gave him a charming playful look.

He definitely saw the way she was ogling at him that was why he currently had that smirk on his face.

Mia’s cheeks flushed in embarrassment and she missed his throaty chuckle.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t get that just now.” She mumbled shyly.

“I asked if you perhaps know Veronica Clifford-she’s my niece and I’m here to pick her up.” He paused, “It’s just that she hasn’t come out yet… do you know her?”

Oh. Mia’s brows furrowed.

The name did ring a bell.

Veronica Clifford… It sounded very familiar.

Then her head snapped, ‘Right.’

Veronica was one of her classmates.

“She’s in my class.” She responded.

He heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank Goodness.”

Mia watched as the man let out a killer smile. He looked so seductive like that…

“But she hasn’t come out yet. Pardon me for disturbing you, but can you help me look for her-she should still be in the school.”

Before she could even think straight, Mia replied with a yes.

It was after she spoke that reality dawned on her.

Mia and the girl had never spoken to each other before. Not even once.

Actually, Mia didn’t like talking to anyone, except Martha and Max of course-and Alex too, occasionally.

But Veronica?… If she found her, how would she communicate with her?

She turned to look at the school gate and then turned back to face the stranger.

“Gracias.” He was beaming with a smile, making it hard for Mia to go back on her word.

She couldn’t help but drool inwardly at the sight of that beautiful smile.

Phew!

If it wasn’t that they were by the roadside, she’d have pulled down her pants for him.

Mia shoved her fantasies aside and then nodded at him.

She turned around and began to head back into the school premises.

–

Immediately the girl disappeared from sight, a man clad in complete black approached the man Mia had just conversed with. Then he said, “Sir, I could have gone in search of the Young Miss myself.”

The charming man chuckled. “And what?-Scared the living daylight out of the kids, with that dreadful face of yours?”

Damien’s eyes were still looking in the direction the girl went.

Joe’s face turned glum when he heard his boss’ words.

It was indeed true that his face was hard and stoic. He never smiled or laughed.

Even right now, as students passed by the men, they couldn’t help but shiver in fear at the sight of Joe’s face.

He was speechless. Going into the school premises would have indeed been disastrous.

He pressed his lips firmly together and quit talking.

Damien snorted as he glanced at his right-hand man.

He feigned a grimace. “I’m shivering, you’re too scary. You should get back in the car-Aish, you’re way too frightening.”

Joe’s brows furrowed. Without further ado, he retreated.

But as soon as he stepped into the driver’s seat, he thought to himself. “At least, it’s just my face that’s scary-yours is not, but your heart is. Your heart is even scarier.”

He shut the car door.

–

Mia first went to her classroom to check if she’d find the man’s niece there.

When she left the class earlier on, she wasn’t in the right frame of mind. So she didn’t pay attention to those who were still in class at that time.

She couldn’t tell if Veronica was among them.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

But when she got there, Veronica was nowhere in sight.

She then began to search every nook and cranny for the girl; the school library, the school hall, the hallways-but she still couldn’t find Veronica anywhere.

After a lot of time had passed, she finally found her in the school’s courtyard. As soon as Mia’s eyes landed on Veronica, her heart skipped a bit and she froze.

She and Veronica had never spoken a word to each other before. Veronica was the school’s queen bee while she was just-just Mia. Veronica looked so heavenly beautiful. She was really pretty.

The two girls had nothing in common.

Veronica garnered attention wherever she went.

*Well, Mia did too. Just that she garnered negative attention instead of postive ones. Giggles*

In addition, Veronica was filthy rich.

Although Mia’s school was super expensive, not all the students that attended there were from a wealthy family. Therefore, there were classes among the students.

Every student belonged to one of these classes: the FRC (filthy rich class), the WC (wealthy class), the RC (rich class), the ARC (average rich class), and the levelers.

The levelers consisted of students who had nothing. They were only able to attend the school because they were placed on scholarship. Lucky them.

Obviously, Veronica belonged to the FRC. Therefore, she only rolled with kids in her social class.

Mia on the other hand belonged to the RC.

–

Mia’s heart beat erratically as she continued to stare at Veronica. The girl was chatting away with her cohort.

Summoning up the courage, she began to approach the kids. With every step she took, her heart pounded hard against her chest.

She was extremely nervous.

Although she belonged to the RC, she didn’t fit in there. She didn’t fit anywhere. She was an outcast who had just two friends.

Veronica seemed to be saying something to her friends when she suddenly caught sight of Mia approaching them. Momentarily, she stopped talking.
