Mr. CEO's Young Mistress novel Chapter 19

Seeing Sharon accept his present, Simon froze for a second before following behind her, giddy with ecstasy. 

At the Coral Pavilion. 

When Sharon returned home, Kelley was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Sharon put her bag on the sofa in the living room and went to the fridge to take out a bottle of juice. She unscrewed the lid and asked Kelley, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, "Kelley, is Master Leonard back yet?"

"Mr. Lefebvre had just called to say that he wouldn't be back for dinner tonight as he has dinner plans with customers." Kelley's answer came from the kitchen.

Hearing Kelley's words, Sharon was no longer in the mood to drink the juice and put the bottle back down from the edge of her mouth. She frowned and muttered, "Why didn't Master Leonard tell me that himself?"

......

At dinner time, Kelley passed by the dining area and saw Sharon sitting at the table. She was pushing her food around and did not seem to have any appetite. 

After a slight hesitation, Kelley walked towards her. "Miss, is the food tonight not to your liking? I can change it to anything you want."

Sharon looked up at Kelley and shook her head. "It's fine, Kelley. I'm just full."

Then, Sharon lowered her utensils and walked out. 

Kelley looked at the untouched food on the table and back at Sharon's spiritless body, confused. 

After the meal, Sharon stayed in her room. She propped her head on the desk with an elbow as she stared at the exquisite box unblinkingly. It laid on the desk, unopened. 

She did not know what was wrong with her. 

She was very curious about the present Simon had sent, and it was just right in front of her. Yet, she just couldn't find the courage to open it. 

She scowled and lifted her head to glance at the clock on the wall. 

It was already past 10 p.m.

But Master Leonard had yet to return home.

Sharon laid limply across the table, her fingers gently sliding over the box.
