Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

Soon, night fell, marking the start of the birthday party. The event drew a crowd of influential and prestigious personalities, given that the guest of honor was a highly respected figure in the society.

Old Master Mandez, along with his father, founded Beats Corporations, and the man had led the company for many years before passing the CEO role to his grandson, Seven Miller. His reputation drew people from far and wide to attend the celebration.

Shawn’s aunt and her family had also traveled early from overseas to join in, adding to the festivities.

The ballroom buzzed with lively conversations and happiness as attendees presented their gifts to Old Master Mandez and shared heartfelt speeches about him.

Shawn Mandez, however, sought solitude and settled on a couch in a dimly lit corner, secluded away from the bustling crowd, sipping wine as he observed the festivities. Despite his engagement with the celebration, his thoughts continuously drifted back to the girl left behind at home. Although he had instructed Madam Susan to care for the Little One’s needs and ensure her well-being before departing, he couldn’t shake the feeling of her absence weighing on his mind.

He contemplated whether to make a video call to include her in the celebration and alleviate her sense of isolation. But then, was that okay?

Pressing his lips together, he hoisted up from the couch, deciding to step outside for some fresh air as the noise inside was overwhelming. As he approached the exit, his path was blocked unexpectedly. Shawn’s sharp gaze met the intruder’s and his eyes narrowed upon recognizing the person.

“Who allowed you in?” He inquired, his tone cold.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Damien Davis chuckled, his response equally frosty. “And who are you to question me? I was invited,” he said, tauntingly waving his invitation card in Shawn’s face.

Shawn cursed under his breath. That old geezer. Grandfather Mandez knew his grandson wasn’t going to add Damien to the list of invited guests, so he sent the boy an invite himself. How betraying.

Glaring across the room at his grandfather, who was deep in conversation with friends and oblivious to Shawn’s anger, Shawn turned back to Damien.

“Hm. Move aside,” He demanded.

Damien sneered, “And what if I don’t?”

Shawn’s frown deepened. Just as he was about to respond, a woman entered the ballroom from behind Damien. He squinted at her as she approached. Though it had been years since he last saw her, he immediately recognized her.

How come she was here? And what was she doing here?

Shawn tore his gaze from the woman and fixed it on Damien. “Did you know?” He inquired.

Damien appeared confused. He had no idea what the man was talking about, “???”

At this very moment, the woman went to stand beside Damien, her whole attention focused on the handsome man before her. When she entered the room, her gaze immediately found him, and she walked toward him without hesitation. It had been a really long while since she last set her eyes on him, and she had missed him dearly.

Yvonne smiled through teary eyes as she greeted Shawn. “You haven’t changed.”

Startled by a familiar voice, Damien turned and saw his younger sister standing beside him. He was completely shocked. “Yvonne, what are you doing here?”

As Yvonne had all her attention on Shawn, she didn’t notice that it was her brother that was standing beside her. But as soon as she heard his voice, she froze and her eyes widened at once.

She stammered, “Da-Damien…”

The attendees were shocked to see the youngest lady of the Davis family at the birthday party. It had been so many years since anyone heard of her. Last they heard was that she relocated abroad, reasons unknown to anyone. She had been abroad for so long, and her return tonight was unexpected. Why was she back now?

Perhaps, it was to attend Old Master Mandez’s birthday party. But then, was she back finally? Or would she be returning abroad immediately after the party ended? Everyone wondered.

After recovering from the initial shock, Damien grabbed his sister’s hand and hurriedly led her out of the ballroom.

Stella, witnessing the entire scene, was equally astonished. In fact, she was the most shocked person in the room. She hastily got up and followed her siblings.

In her haste, she accidentally bumped into someone, Vivian, who was holding a glass of wine. The wine spilled on her dress due to the collision, and she began to lower to the floor.

Upon witnessing this, Shawn quickly came to her rescue, catching her before she hit the ground. He removed his suit jacket and draped it over her, shielding her soaked cleavage area, which had now become transparent.

Stella, who was in a hurry, didn’t look back to see what had happened.

“Are you alright?” Shawn inquired, inspecting the girl’s body to make sure she wasn’t hurt.

Vivian seemed to be in a daze as she stared dreamily at the man before her. Just like years ago, he had saved her again-her knight in shining armor.

Ever since she entered the ballroom with her parents, Vivian Thompson had been searching for one person: Shawn Mandez. When she found out he was in a secluded area, her spirits sank. However, she remained hopeful and never took her eyes off the spot where he sat alone. Luckily, a few hours later, she saw him rise and head toward the exit.

Vivian hurriedly went over to stand near the exit and sipped on a glass of wine, nerves getting the best of her. But her hopes were dashed when Damien Davis blocked Shawn’s path. Still, she didn’t give up and continued to watch them. A couple of minutes later, she noticed an elegantly dressed woman enter the ballroom and approach Shawn.

It took a moment for Vivian to recognize her as Damien Davis’s younger sister. She narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. There had been rumors about Yvonne Davis and Shawn Mandez being in a relationship once. Could it be true? None of them had confirmed or denied it then. Besides, she heard news of Yvonne’s sudden relocation abroad… Why was she back?

Lost in her thoughts, Vivian’s heart skipped a beat. She became oblivious to her surroundings and didn’t notice when Stella accidentally bumped into her.

With a gasp, Vivian spilled wine on herself and prepared for a hard fall, but instead, she landed in something warm, surrounded by the pleasant scent of a man’s cologne. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself lost in the depth of a pair of grey eyes.

“Are you alright?” Shawn’s smooth voice brought her back to reality.

“Erm, ye-yes-sir,” She stuttered, unable to tear her gaze away from him. She couldn’t believe he had just spoken to her.

She watched keenly as he nodded his head and then walked past her.

She blushed deeply and stared at his retreating figure until he disappeared from sight. “Soon, you’ll be mine, my knight in shining armor,” She thought to herself.
