Chapter 404 - Idiot & Stupid



Shea was battling with her mind of heart so it went out of her head that she should ask about his behavior.

Shawn let her eat because he didn't want her to panic thinking somebody was tracking her. 

After breakfast, Shea wanted to run from there. For that, she needs to look at him and say goodbye.

She made her mind that she shouldn't freeze up like an idiot and turned to him. She didn't get the chance to speak.

Shawn placed the glass tube between them and asked, "Where did you get this?" His voice was void of emotions and there was no gentleness of playful look, instead seriousness.

Shea first looked at what was inside the transparent tube before revealing promptly, "When I was picking my thing from the floor, it was next to my lipstick."

Shawn was pretty sure, it must have fallen from her bag. So he first needs to know if it was with her to track her or him or a darker plan.

He plainly asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Shea realized there was a problem hence the hottie was too serious. She promptly shook her head, "I am seeing it for the first time. I thought it might be yours."

Shawn's brows knitted. He pulled his mobile out and quickly dropped a message to somebody before facing Shea who was extremely confused.

"This is a bug. The owner of it listened to us till a few minutes back." He gravely revealed hoping she wouldn't start overreacting.

Shea first thought that chip might be in the house from the time she entered the penthouse. Her face flushed in embarrassment as she uttered, "He heard us all night."

Shawn: "..."

Due to her reaction, Shawn's mind drifted to the previous night. 'Damn this girl.' He thought.

He didn't let his expression falter, assuming it might make her uncomfortable. Whereas Shea saw his reaction and cursed herself. If it wasn't Shawn, she was sure, what happened that night wouldn't have meant anything to her.

She controlled her behavior before utter in fake indifference, "You mean somebody is spying on you?"

Shawn was still unsure of it. It can be for her or it can be planted when that somebody got to know he was taking her out.

"This fell from your bag. Are you sure this is not yours?" Shawn asked before he alerted his team to look into what happened in the club.

'My bag?' Shea glanced at her bag and her eyes widened. It was next to her lipstick, it can't be a coincidence. She knew entering penthouses isn't easy.

She blurted so that they could solve the issues, "This is the new bag I bought at the airport. I think it's bugged in the club as I drove the car myself."

Shawn stood up as he dialed a number. Shea quickly followed him to the living hall and heard him. 

[Lauren, send me the previous day footage of the club from the time, Shea… I mean the green eye girl entered and left.] Lauren, the club manager.

Shea: "..."

She wanted to say you could have said something else. Anyway, she was also glad he didn't mention the girl he was making out within the club.

She mumbled as following his footsteps, "If I knew the owner is also a DJ Prince and bartender, I would have definitely run away from the club."

Shawn had heard Lauren's response had hung up the call. He heard Shea's voice and a smile craved his face for no particular reason. He turned around and asked, "Were you planning to avoid me if you knew I was Shawn Rivas?"

Shea vigorously nodded, she didn't want to meet him in the club. Shea realized she behaved like an obedient puppet of Shawn so she started shaking her head.

Shawn chuckled and she slapped her forehead. Now she understood why people lose their minds when they fall for someone. She felt she was no different and sold off her intelligent brain.

Shea followed him to the study room and paced behind him while he was watching the footage in complete focus.

Shawn didn't care how many tried to flirt with her, all his attention was on if anybody was acting suspicious and tried to get too near her.

He often saw her one or two dialogues to make the men leave her. Till he saw her walk up to a man. Shawn was trying to zoom in when Shea spoke behind him.

"He is Wade Merton."

Shawn's lips twitched uncontrollably. He didn't feel like he needed to check further. He paused the video and turned his swivel chair to her.

"Shea Morris, did you know who Wade Merton was, or did he introduce himself for you?" There was nothing like jealousy in his tone, instead, it dripped with sarcasm.

Shea wanted to bonk him but controlled knowing he was trying to solve the problem. Then she leaned on his chair next to him and narrated what was going on between them while both watched the footage.

Shawn tried to know when Wade was in action as he heard her. At some point, he clicked on the pause button and turned to her.

"You are an idiot." He said it off like a boss.

Shea controlled her from reacting to his words. Anyway, she was already so comfortable with him that she smacked his arm and spat, "And you are stupid." She crossed her arms and looked away.

Shawn paused. He couldn't believe he was kicked off the bed by a girl who turned out to be his brother's best friend's cousin.

Instead of shooing her away, he prepared breakfast and looked into the trouble she was in, and even got a strike.

Sigh.

He sighed internally and told her why he called her an idiot, "He was purposefully making it look like he was lying so that you identify it and be more comfortable."

Shea tried to think in his way. Whenever she had lied about her identity to her one-night stands, none had guessed it. If others had lied to her, she never cared.

Her lips formed to an O listening to Shawn continue.

Shawn was glad she was able to grasp it without idiotically arguing with him, "He revealed his real identity so that you can trust him more. He definitely did a background check on you but pretended to be guessing to attract you more."

'To attract you more.' Shea snapped out of the previous night and babbled out unthinkingly, "If I was attracted, I would have followed him."

Shawn paused hearing her before a sly smirk appeared on his face, "If he hadn't talked much, you would have definitely followed him."

He meant she was attracted to him in the beginning. 

Shea bit her lips, scratching her head. 'Why did I try to justify? Dumb brainless woman.' She chided herself hoping she won't behave the same.

Shawn shook his head in resignation and played the video pointing to the screen. "Right after you decided to turn him down, he had pulled the chip from his pocket. He hugged you to drop that in your bag."

Shawn changed to a different video that was in a different angle and showed her the video where his hand moves on her bag.

Shea hazily accepted, "You are right, I am an idiot. I almost thought I broke a heart."

Shawn chuckled sensing she was regretting having that thought.
