Mr. CEO's Young Mistress novel Chapter 10

......

The lamp by the bed turned on, instantly illuminating the entire room. 

Leonard stared at Sharon in disbelief, unsure of whether she was real or just a dream. 

He had thought that he was dreaming.

But when he heard her cry, 

he immediately froze.

Leonard closed his eyes for a second before opening them again.

Sharon was still beneath him, her eyes bloodshot. 

Leonard's back shook as he realized that it wasn't a dream. 

He stared at Sharon, his forehead furrowed. A thousand emotions went through his head as he looked at Sharon, whose lips were swollen and red. 

......

Sharon had wrapped herself in a thin blanket and sat cross-legged on his bed. An hour had passed, but her eyes were still red and puffy as she studied Leonard, who had been smoking by the window the whole time. 

"I'm sorry." It was the first sentence he had said to her since just now. 

His voice was low, hoarse from smoking. 

Sharon's lower lip trembled, and her eyes misted over once more. 

She had been scared out of her wits!

Not hearing a response from Sharon, Leonard pinched the butt of the cigarette between his fingers and turned to face her, his lips pressed into a thin line. 

He had no excuse for what had just happened.

Besides, he had no intention of explaining in the first place. 

It's just that seeing her distressed state tugged at Leonard's heartstrings. 

"I'm sorry, Master Leonard."

Astonished, he narrowed his eyes on her. 

Sharon sniffled and lifted her head to face him. "It was my fault this happened. I won't barge into your room without your permission ever again, e-especially at night."

Leonard's eyes darkened. 

"If I hadn't barged in forcefully, you wouldn't have mistaken me for someone else..."

Sharon whispered, blushing.

She had not missed how surprised Leonard looked to find her in his bed when the lights turned on.
