Mr. CEO's Young Mistress novel Chapter 53

Simon froze in surprise and was about to chase after them when Oliver stood in front of him and blocked his path. 

"Mr. Guerin, if I were you, I would find a quiet place and wait there," advised Oliver with a small smile. 

...

Simon, stupefied once more, looked blankly at Oliver. 

Oliver gave him a small nod before glancing at Melanie and leaving with Daniel. 

Puvis, who had was forgotten, watched the scene unfold silently. 

......

"Master Leonard..."

Sharon stumbled after Leonard frantically on pins and needles.

...

Leonard, being almost 1.9 meters tall, had long limbs. One stride of his was equivalent to two or three of Sharon's. 

Right now, it was plain to see that he did not want her to follow him, so his strides were bigger than usual. 

Sharon trotted after him on her high heels, but the distance between them only became further. 

Sharon was feeling extremely anxious right now.

When she came up with her plan, she had not considered this outcome. 

She had only been hoping that they could go back to how they were before. 

However, his reaction right now was causing her to panic. 

Her gut was telling her she had made a terrible mistake! 

...

...

This only made her even more perturbed and put her in more distress. 

"M-Master Leonard..." Sharon stammered through gritted teeth. 

She lifted the hem of her dress and ran after him. She grabbed his arm with one hand nervously, worried that he would shake her off. Wide-eyed, she whispered, "Master Leonard..."

Leonard did not turn to look at her, but he did not shake her grip off either. 

He continued to trudge forward, not slowing down the slightest. 

After a while, Sharon's feet began to ache, her legs trembling from the strain. 

She bit her lip as her face tightened, looking sorry. She peeked at Leonard and moaned. "Master Leonard, m-my feet are aching." 

Sharon's voice was hoarse, and she looked as pitiful as an abandoned kitten. 

However, Leonard merely gave her the cold shoulder and kept on walking. 

Sharon pouted and begged softly. "Master Leonard, please slow down! My feet are about to break." 

...

Abruptly, Leonard sneered and stopped in his tracks. 

...

Stopping just in time, Sharon's upper body tilted forward from the momentum. 

If she hadn't been holding onto his arm, she might have fallen to the floor and embarrassed herself. 

The hairs on the back of her neck stood up, and she gasped. After she stabilised herself, she stood in front of Leonard, pouting, as if she was being held against her will. 

"Explain yourself!" Leonard ordered coldly.

Sharon jerked and shut her mouth tightly, not saying a word. 

Leonard's eyes darkened. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

Still, Sharon kept silent. 

Leonard nodded, forcefully removing her hand from his arm. 

Sharon gasped. Alarmed, she quickly grabbed his arm with both hands this time. Her eyes teared up as she looked at him, panic-stricken. 

Leonard's chest tightened, but he became for furious as well. Lowering his head, he glared at Sharon. "Sharon Andre, is Simon Guerin your boyfriend?" 

Sharon hurriedly shook her head before nodding. Her tears were about to fall and her face was white with fear. 

"Is it a yes or a no? Speak!" Leonard bellowed. His eyes were like knives as he glared holes into her. 

However, Sharon still kept her lips tightly shut. 

She did not dare to say yes, but she couldn't say no either. So, right now, all she could do was remain silent. 

...

When Leonard saw her keeping quiet, he assumed she admitted to Simon being her boyfriend. 

Leonard clenched his jaw tight, his eyes glinting murderously. 

In fact, Sharon could feel his arm under her hands stiffening, his muscles tensing and bulging. 

Sharon's heart was pounding, and her parted lips were white. Tears started rolling down her face as she trembled in fear. 

"Leonard."

Oliver and Daniel came over at the right moment.

Oliver pulled Sharon aside and narrowed his eyes at Leonard, gently reminding him. "This is a banquet hall. Let's talk about this when we get back."

"That's right." Daniel nodded in agreement. "Today's Sharon's birthday. Even if you're angry, at least wait until tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Sharon wondered. 

Something flashed in Leonard's eyes and he looked at Sharon, who was hiding behind Oliver with a pale face, looking at a loss. Saying nothing else, he walked ahead with a chilly aura. 

Oliver looked at Leonard's back worriedly and exchanged glances with Daniel. 

Daniel narrowed his eyes and patted Sharon's shoulders comfortingly. Then he headed in the direction Leonard had just left.
