Chapter 5: Why Didn’t You Lock the Door?
At that moment, he looked so adorable to Sharon.
"Our class will be grouped together for the Autumn field trip. You'll be coming, won't you?" Simon asked
softly, looking at Sharon expectantly.
"I... "
"Of course she's coming."
Melanie cut Sharon off before she had the chance to reply.
Sharon pressed her lips together and turned around to glare at Melanie, "You know I'm not allowed to
go!" her eyes clearly said.
Melanie stuck out her tongue at her.
Simon, however, was elated to think that Sharon would also be attending the trip. He merrily said to
her, "I'll see you then!"
"I... "
Again, before Sharon could finish her sentence, Simon had turned around and left through the back
door.
Sharon felt a shiver run down her spine as she watched Simon's retreating back.
"Hmmm... Is that love I smell in the air?" Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Melanie draped an arm over Sharon's shoulder and looked at her flushed face.
Sharon gritted her teeth and glared at Melanie. "Why did you tell him that I would be going for the trip?
Master Leonard already said no."
"You just need to act cute in front of him. I'm sure he'll give in sooner or later."
"You're crazy!"
"Tsk tsk. I wasn't even talking about you. Why are you getting so worked up?"
"He is my Master Leonard!"
......
Melanie didn't continue. Instead, she took hold of Sharon's arm and dragged her out of the classroom.
......
Sharon finally returned to the Coral Pavilion from school. She thought that Leonard was still at the
office and hadn't returned until she heard a sweet voice coming from the living room.
"Leonard, you've been home since last night, but why didn't you tell me?"
Even without seeing her face, Sharon knew who the voice belonged to.
Shirley Cook was the daughter of Dane Jewellery's CEO. She was also well-known for being the most
beautiful lady in Montreal.
Sharon pressed her lips together. She walked past the living room and headed towards the second
floor.
"Sharon, you're back."
Shirley's shrill voice came behind her, footsteps approaching.
.....
Sharon rolled her eyes and plastered on a fake smile before turning around. "Hello, Sister Shirley."
Sister?
Even though Shirley was used to it, she still cringed every time Sharon called her that.
It made her sound so much older, despite only being a couple of years older than Sharon.
Still, Shirley reigned in her temper because of Leonard.
If she planned to marry into the Lefebvre family, she would first have to have a good relationship with
Sharon.
Thus, Shirley smiled and grabbed Sharon's hand that was holding her schoolbag. "It's only been a few
days since we last met, but you've become more beautiful."
Sharon smiled but did not reply.
"Oh, that bag must be heavy! Why don't you take it off?" Shirley asked, reaching out to take the
backpack off Sharon's shoulders,
However, before she could, Sharon turned around abruptly and ran up the stairs. "I'm sorry, Sister
Shirley! I can't hold it in any longer."
Shirley's outstretched hand was left hanging midair. She scowled after hearing Sharon's words.
"What a vulgar girl!" Shirley thought.
However, she kept that to herself. Instead, she smiled helplessly at Leonard who was sitting silently on
the sofa. "She must have been in a hurry."
Before Shirley could say anything else, Leonard stood up suddenly, his height easily towering over her.
His domineering aura instantly made Shirley nervous. "L-Leonard..."
Leonard gave Shirley a chilling look. His voice was indifferent as he said, "I have some business to
tend to so please see yourself out."
"Leonard, I—"
Leonard ignored Shirley and went upstairs.
Dissatisfied, Shirley stared at Leonard's retreating back and gritted her teeth.
......
Sharon returned to her room and tossed her bag onto the table. She started taking off her clothes to
change into something more comfortable.
Autumn had arrived, but the summer heat still lingered.
Currently, Sharon still wore classic uniforms to school.
She had just finished unbuttoning her shirt and was about to remove it when the door slammed open
with a bang.
Startled, Sharon quickly lifted the remaining cloth to cover herself. She was in a panic as she looked
towards the door.
When she saw Leonard standing at the door, Sharon's face quickly turned red, especially since he
looked at her with such intense eyes.
Sharon shrunk her shoulders and whispered, "M-Master Leonard, do you mind stepping outside while I
change?"
"Why didn't you lock the door?"
Leonard asked with a frown and slammed the door shut.
Sharon watched as the door shook and covered her face, embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Leonard just stood outside her door, his knuckles turning white.
