Mr. CEO's Young Mistress novel Chapter 33

Sharon's eyes widened in shock, and her head went blank. 

The man who had kissed her ever so gently was Master Leonard.

At the thought of that, Sharon felt frightened and started to panic. However, she also felt an inexplicable emotion tugging at the bottom of her heart.

It was an unprecedented feeling, which made her extremely uneasy.

......

In the end, Leonard managed to drag Sharon back to Coral Pavilion. 

Nathan and Rosamond were shocked when they saw Sharon being led down the stairs by Leonard.

They both wondered when they had arrived. 

They were so flabbergasted that they did not even react when Sharon and Leonard left.

Puvis had been in the study upstairs, so he had no idea that Leonard had taken Sharon away.

Meanwhile, Selena had been live-streaming in her room, so she did not know either. 

Once they arrived back at the villa, Leonard immediately carried Sharon to his room. 

Sharon sat on the soft bed and could not stop thinking back to the night he kissed her. 

...

At the time, she only thought that he had mistaken her for someone else. But now...

Sharon felt the tip of her ears burning up, her heart pounding wildly in her chest. 

"Master Leonard brought me here instead of my room. Does that mean..." Sharon's thoughts trailed off, her face turning pale. 

Her eyes widened in fear, and she got off the bed frantically.  

"What are you doing?" Leonard had been standing by the side of the bed, watching the changes in her expression. He narrowed his eyes when he saw her trying to get off the bed. 

Sharon froze before lifting her head to look at Leonard. Her voice shook when she replied, "I-I'm going back to my room."

Leonard was solemn for a moment before he ordered, "You'll sleep here tonight."

"No!" Sharon objected anxiously.

Leonard glowered at her. "It's not the first time you've slept here, so why not?"

"I may not have known back then, but now that I know, how can I still sleep here as if nothing happened?" Sharon retorted in her head. 

...

...

Instead, Sharon pursed her lips and frowned. She insisted stubbornly. "I want to sleep in my room!"

Leonard's frown deepened as he regarded Sharon coldly.

Sharon felt a shiver run down her spine. 

"Here we go again. There's the death stare he gives me every time he gets mad." Sharon snorted to herself. 

...

Sharon straightened her back and humphed silently. "No matter what, I won't compromise this time!" She vowed silently. 

The clock ticked as minutes went by. 

Sharon felt like she was about to suffocate in the silence and resisted the urge to grab her hair. 

Huffing unhappily, she turned to Leonard, pouting. Her voice was raspy as she said, "Master Leonard, I'm sleepy."

Leonard raised an eyebrow. "Then, stop acting up and sleep."

"How could he say that?" She exclaimed to herself, indignant. 

Sharon stared at him defiantly and argued. "I said that I wanted to return to my room, and you were the one who refused. So, why am I the one who's acting up?"

"Who knows whether somebody will go missing in the middle of the night?" Leonard sneered as he glared at her.

Sharon held her tongue as she finally understood. 

Leonard was worried that she might run away again if he let her return to her room. 

Sharon blushed in embarrassment. "Where can I go at this hour?"

"I wouldn't put it past you!" Leonard snapped in a low voice. 

Sharon was speechless. "He thinks too highly of me!" she scoffed to herself. 

Leonard then brushed her aside and walked over to the wardrobe. He took out a white blanket and headed for the sofa in the room. 

He threw himself onto it, crossed an arm behind his head, and closed his eyes. 

Sharon stared at him, stupefied. "He's too tall for the sofa! He'll be miserable!" she sighed to herself.

Sharon sat on the bed as she studied Leonard, her arms wrapped around her knees and her chin resting atop them. 

Leonard was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has used only the finest of things since young. It could very well be the first time he ever slept on a sofa. 

At the thought of that, Sharon tilted her head towards him and called out, softly "Master Leonard."

Leonard ignored her.

Sharon called out again, "Master Leonard."

Again, Leonard turned a deaf ear to her. 

Sharon clenched her jaw. She was smart enough to know that he was ignoring her.
