Mr. CEO's Young Mistress novel Chapter 20

As soon as Sharon called out to him, a hand lashed out to grip tightly onto one of hers. 

Sharon was shocked. Holding her breath, she looked at Leonard.

"I'll leave him to you, Sharon. Paul and I have something else to deal with, so we'll be leaving first." Oliver's warm voice rung out.

Sharon blinked and turned to look outside the car.

Oliver was dragging Paul by the arm into another car.

After a while, their car passed by Leonard's.

Sharon turned to look at Leonard and called out again softly, "Master Leonard."

Leonard's eyes remained closed, but he yanked his hand that was holding on to Sharon's. 

Sharon was caught off guard and fell straight into his arms.

She rested her face on Leonard's chest, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat travelling to her ears. 

Once again, Sharon blinked and called out to him, "Master Leonard."

"Just sit with me for a while," he said, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Alright." Sharon nodded slightly in his arms.

Barely a minute of being still, Sharon suddenly placed her hand on the upper left side of Leonard's chest. She muttered, "Master Leonard, your heart is beating so fast."

Leonard swallowed, his Adam's apple moving up and down. He slowly opened his eyes and stared at Sharon. 

......

The off-road car raced along the asphalt roads.

Paul was perplexed as he stared at Oliver, who held a cigarette in one hand and gripped the steering wheel with the other. "Just what business do you have? Do you really think that Sharon is strong enough to carry a drunk Leonard? Sometimes, I have no idea what's going on in your head," Paul said exasperatedly.  

...

Oliver placed the cigarette in his mouth and switched hands to control the steering wheel. He squinted his eyes at Paul, who was acting indignant. After a moment of silence, he replied, "He's not drunk."

"What? Who isn't drunk?" Paul didn't understand.

"Leonard. He isn't drunk," Oliver said.

"What?" Paul thought.
