Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

A few seconds passed before the old housekeeper finally spoke. “Since you’re all so less busy and have nothing to do, why not each pick a broom and sweep the environment? It’s dirty and the Master wouldn’t take it lightly when he gets back in the night.”

Clara blinked in bewilderment. “We already swept, everywhere is clean now.”

“Do it again. Not clean enough.”

“Madam Susan…” The lady whined.

The woman shot her a cold glare and she lowered her head instantly.

Clara immediately swallowed whatever it was that she had to say.

“Yes, Madam Susan.”

Dejectedly, she shuffled her feet out of the kitchen to go inform her colleagues of the work they had to do.

How stupid of her. She immediately regretted her actions.

Indeed, what was she expecting the housekeeper to do? She was just a housekeeper and the girl was the Madam of the house.

Clara was speechless.

She should have just kept her moyth shut. Now, she had not only put herself in trouble, she even implicated the rest.

Eish. Stupid.

The moment Mia walked into her room, she shut the door behind her and didn’t step out afterward.

She remained inside until late at night.

After laying motionless for several hours, hating herself for doing what she did, she finally pushed her weight off the bed and went to stand by the window.

Her gaze looked down and a gasp escaped from her mouth.

Below the window was a beautiful garden. The sight of it was a bliss to behold. It looked so enticing and soothing to the eyes and mind.

Thousands of different sensations ran through Mia as she gazed upon the beauty. It was flourishing enough to make her completely forget about her sorrows.

Although the sun had completely vanished from sight, the flowers still blossomed, shining brightly and refreshingly under the dim light.

A gentle breeze blew, making them sway enticingly.

This was the first time she was seeing the view so Mia was completely mesmerized by it.

Suddenly, she caught sight of a figure exiting the garden.

She squinted her eyes and realized that the person was Madam Grace, the housekeeper.

The elderly woman was carrying a watering can, prunning shears and a towel in her hands-it seemed like she just finished tending to the garden.

‘I’d so love to go down there sometime.’ A smile tugged at the corner of Mia’s mouth.

Shortly afterwards, a soft knock on the door interrupted Mia’s trail of thoughts.

Begrudgingly, she tore her gaze away from the sight beneath her window and turned to face the direction of the door.

The knock came again.

“Come in.” She beckoned.

The door opened and revealed three maids. They stepped into the room and sank in curtsy.

Behind them was Madam Grace.

Mia’s brows furrowed in puzzlement. Was anything the matter?

“So sorry to disturb you, Madam, but we have come to get you ready for tonight.”

‘Huh? Tonight?’

‘What’s happening tonight?’

Mia didn’t get a chance to voice out her questions as she was already being stripped by the maids.

Before she knew it, they were dragging her to the bathroom and she was already in the bathtub.

Thankfully enough, they were extremely careful with her arm.

Mia’s mind began to run wild with crazy thoughts:

‘What’s going on?’Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

‘Are they bathing me because I injured my arm?’

She gasped inaudibly as her mind trailed off. ‘Don’t tell me…”

All of a sudden, her eyes widened in horror.

‘Tonight…’

Her heart began to pound hard in her chest.

Was it really what she was thinking?

‘Is what I’m thinking going to happen???’ She was alarmed.

‘It had better not be! Had better not be!’

Would the demi-god really do that to her…?

Engrossed with her thoughts running wild, she didn’t know when she was yanked out of the tub.

The maids dried her hair and body. They led her back to the room and let her sit before the vanity.

They then began with a nice skincare routine.

Madam Grace had already picked out a dress from the walk-in closet when Mai was being bathed for.

The dress was currently laid out on the bed.

The maids took their time to make their Madam look very pretty.

A while later, they were done with her makeup and hair.

It was time for Mia to put on her dress. It was a long peach dress with lace sleeves and a train.

The dress complimented Mia’s milky white skin such that she looked like a fine porcelain.

Madam Susan nodded her head calmly after a pair of while sandals had been strapped on the Madam’s feet.

All done.

The housekeeper’s eyes darted across the room to the wall clock. ‘Master should be back by now.’

“Madam, we’ll leave you now.” She bobbed politely and led the maids out of the room.

Mia’s eyes blinked consecutively.

She was dumbstruck!

Why was it that everyone associated with that man always left her rendered speechless?

She tried to stop them from leaving but it was as if the words got stuck in her throat.

They shouldn’t leave her alone… Tears almost rolled down her face.

Her whole body shuddered at the thought of what was about to happen.

Did he plan on punishing her because she intruded his privacy earlier in the day?

But she’d already vowed to never do that again.

Mia let her body lower to the bed as she fiddled with her dress.

She looked down at the dress and frowned. Did the demi-god like engaging in role-play before…?

Or did he just like his women rdressed up before the…?

Mia grimaced. She was just twenty…

She couldn’t possibly let this happen. She mustn’t let it happen.

She had to act fast.

The poor girl began to rack up her brain for something.

Shawn let out a weary sigh as he buttoned his T-shirt. He was standing in front of the mirror.

He was extremely tired and badly needed a rest.

As soon as he arrived home a while ago, he’d headed straight into the bathroom for a hot shower.

He didn’t even take a nap.

He needed to get prepared as he had to do it tonight. There was no time to postpone it.

A soft knock on the door was heard and Shawn replied with a low “Yes?”

Madam Susan stepped into the room silently and bobbed.

She walked up to him, stopping a few meters away. “Madam is ready.”

“Hmn.” The man replied nasally. Then he added, “Thank you, Madam Susan.”

Shawn took a look at himself in the mirror one last time.

Despite the dark circles that were visible under his eyes, he looked impeccable, his pale face exuding charm and confidence as usual.
