Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

Veronica was saying something to her friends when she suddenly caught sight of Mia. Momentarily, she stopped talking.

The girl seemed to be coming in their direction and this made her frown.

When Mia came and stood in front of them, she fiddled with her hands. Veronica swept a cold gaze over her.

Her friends also had disgust written on their faces as they stared at Mia. They were overwhelmed with the urge to pounce on her but they knew better. Not after what happened recently.

What did she want anyway? Why was she there?

“What do you want?” One of them finally voiced out. Her voice was filled with irritation.

Perhaps she lost her way or something, ’cause she didn’t belong there.

Taking in a very deep breath, Moa faced Veronica directly and opened her mouth to speak. “Hum, Veronica, someone’s waiting for you outside. He says he’s your uncle and he’s here to pick you.”

Veronica’s brows creased. Was that so?

Her parents were currently out of the country with her younger brother. They were away on a vacation and they had informed her beforehand that she’d have to stay with her uncle until they returned a week later.

So, what Mia just said might be the truth. Although she knew that the person that was there to pick her wasn’t her uncle.

Her uncle was a very busy man, so he must have sent someone to come get her in his stead. Well, that was thoughtful of him.

Mia knew she was supposed to leave immediately after delivering her message, but her legs just wouldn’t budge. She stood rooted to the ground, on the same spot, as if waiting for something.

Without giving Mia any response, Veronica stood up and picked her bag from the chair. She bade her friends goodbye.

“Bye!!!!” They replied to her in unison.

They were also waiting for their respective guardians to come get them.

Veronica had no idea that her uncle was going to send someone early to come get her, or she would have waited outside the school gate.

She had thought that since the man was always busy, he might not remember to send someone to pick her up on time. And that by the time he did, it’d be dark already.

It was only after Veronica started to walk away that Mia’s feet also began to move. She trailed silently after the girl while Veronica completely ignored her existence.

Immediately Veronica stepped outside the school gate, she scanned the whole area until her eyes landed on a figure standing in a corner not too far away from where she was.

The person looked sooo much like him…

Her head tilted to the side and she began to walk down to meet the man. Could her uncle have come over himself?

As she approached him she began to get more convinced that the person was indeed her uncle.

Her face lit up instantly and she quickly shuffled over to Damien’s side.

“Uncle Damien!” She squealed as soon as she reached where he was standing.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

The man enveloped her in a warm hug.

It was really him. Who would have thought that he’d come all the way to pick her up by himself.

Although it wasn’t foreign to everyone in the family that Damien loved and spoiled both his niece and nephew silly. He was overprotective of them and showered them with lots of unconditional love.

There was someone else he loved in that manner…

Despite knowing that she was of great importance to her uncle, Veronica still found it hard to believe that he came to her school himself-in person. She was really touched as the man was no ordinary person.

Damien Davis was the CEO of their family’s companies and due to that, he had a very tight schedule every day.

Damien grinned as his niece squeezed him tight in the hug. “Hey, Vee.”

“You came!!!”

He chuckled, “Of course I did, Pretty. I’m here to take my adorable niece home”.

Veronica reluctantly broke away from the hug and he pinched her cheek, wriggling it playfully.

Then the corner of his eyes caught sight of something and he looked behind Veronica to see the girl from earlier on standing a few feet away from them.

“Thank you for your help.” He flashed a heartwarming smile at Mia and the girl almost went blind from how white his neat rows of teeth were.

“I couldn’t find you anywhere so I had to beg someone to help get you. Thankfully, you’re classmates.” Damien’s eyes angled down on Veronica.

She turned around to see Mia standing behind her. She frowned and kept mute.

“Ah, no… It’s nothing.” Mia let out a shy smile.

Veronica clicked her tongue irritably and just went straight to sit in her uncle’s Bentley Continental GT, leaving her uncle and the lousy girl.

Of all people, why was it Mia that Damien asked to help look for Veronica.

After Vee left, Damien stood staring at Mia in silence for a while.

“Are you going this way??-You should hitch a ride with us.” He asked, pointing at the road ahead of them.

“Er, no. I’m going that way.” Mia pointed in the direction she was facing.

She bit on her lip, hating that she suddenly became a stammerer in the presence of the hot looking man.

Damien saw this and smirked. “Okay.”

Veronica could no longer take it. She wound down the glass window and suddenly called out to her uncle. “Uncle Damien, I’m hungry! Let’s go.”

She seriously hated that Mia was having a conversation with her uncle. That uncultured girl.

Since Damien had his back to the car while Mia was facing it, Veronica could only see Mia’s facial expression and not her uncle’s.

She didn’t like the look on Mia’s face as she conversed with Damien. The girl was gawking at her uncle in a shameless manner.

After snatching Max away from Martha, her best friend, did she want to take over her uncle too?

‘Over my hot rich dead body.’ Veronica vowed.

“Thank you for your help, goodbye.” With that said, Damien turned around.

His precious niece was hungry so they had to leave immediately.

He stepped in the backseat of the Bently, beside his niece, and the luxurious car zoomed off.

Mia simply stood rooted to the ground until the car was out of sight.

Phew! She let out a groan. There were men, and there were hot men!

Grinning from ear to ear, she began to head home.
