Mr. CEO's Young Mistress

Chapter 9: Master Leonard, You're the Best!

Selena saw Sharon's lips twitching and smiled smugly. "What's the matter? Leonard is my brother, so

it's only natural that you call me Ms. Selena."

"Do you really want me to call you that?" Sharon narrowed her eyes and smiled, exposing her dimples.

"Of course." Selena raised her head expectantly.

"Well, I shan't!" Sharon deliberately provoked her.

Selena was stunned for a split second before her face darkened into a scowl.

Sharon ignored her, grabbed Leonard's arm, and walked ahead.

Leonard also cooperated by letting Sharon pull him along.

Selena watched the two of them with steam coming out her ears.

......

"Sharon, you should eat more. You're much thinner than last time."

Everyone sat around a beautiful rosewood table.

Puvis kept putting food on Sharon's plate.

If they were following proper protocol, Sharon did not actually have the right to sit beside Puvis.

Yet, Puvis had insisted and pulled her closer.

Now, she sat in between Rosamond and Scarlett while Nathan and Raymond sat across her. Leonard

was seated beside Raymond.

As long as Leonard was around, it was nearly impossible to find Selena anywhere else.

So, it wasn't a surprise to see Selena sitting right next to Leonard.

That meant that Leonard and Sharon were miles apart from each other.

"Here you go, Leonard. It's your favourite." Selena's whiny voice travelled to Sharon's ears.

Sharon pursed her lips and peeked at Leonard out of the corner of her eyes.

Like they were two halves of a whole, Leonard seemed to have sensed her action in advance and

looked over to her at the same time.

Their eyes met, and Sharon immediately pouted at him.

Leonard face was stoic and revealed nothing.

"Sharon, you're in your third year of university now, aren't you?" Rosamond, who sat next to her, asked.

Sharon's gaze shifted away from Leonard, and she politely replied to Rosamond, "Yes, Mrs. Lefebvre."

"Do you have any plans of where to go after this? Are you planning to stay here or study abroad?"

Rosamond continued to question her.

Leonard cut Sharon off before she could answer. "She's be staying in Montreal."

Rosamond frowned and glanced at him. "I'm asking Sharon, not you."

Leonard's lips thinned, but he stayed silent, looking at Sharon.

Sharon blinked before saying to Rosamond, "It is just as Master Leonard said."

Hearing Sharon's words, Rosamond's face tightened further.

"Studying here is a great idea. I get to visit you anytime I want." Puvis approved with a smile.

Sharon held onto Puvis's arm, her heart warm.

......

After the dinner, Leonard and Sharon returned to the Coral Pavilion.

As soon as they got out of the car, rain immediately started to pour.

Leonard took his jacket out of the car, placed it over Sharon's head, and walked her into the villa.

Sharon peeked up at Leonard from under the suit and suddenly said, "Master Leonard, you're the

best!"

His eyes flashed with an indescribable emotion as he looked down at Sharon.

......

The rain went on much longer than expected. By the lower half of the night, it was bucketing down, This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

lightning flashing and thunder boomed.

Sharon hid beneath the covers. She stared out the window unblinkingly as lightning flashed across the

sky.

...

Her heart beating wildly, Sharon suddenly squirmed out from under the covers and jumped out of her

bed, barefooted. She opened the door and ran out.

She quickly rushed over to the next room, gently closing the door behind her.

Dashing towards the bed in the centre of the room, she swiftly slid under the covers.

Sharon held on to the man's arm tightly, her face hidden in the crook of his arm.

Boom!

The thunder got louder, and Sharon shrunk away further, light flashing across her tightly shut eyelids.

"Master Leonard." Sharon's voice trembled as she called out to Leonard, her tiny body curled into a

ball.

Leonard was usually very alert, even in his sleep.

Tonight, however, he didn't even flinch when Sharon laid down beside him.

Ear-splitting thunder roared on endlessly.

Frightened out of her wits, Sharon kept furrowing deeper under the covers until she was practically

lying across Leonard. Hugging him tightly, she glued her freezing face onto the skin exposed by his

night robe.

Feeling the warmth radiating from his chest, she finally started to loosen up.

Her eyelids fluttered slightly before letting out a breath of relief.

But before she could relax completely, a pair of big, strong hands suddenly grabbed her waist.

Startled by his sudden movement, Sharon's eyes widened, and she jumped, her heart almost escaping

her chest.

Out of the blue, Leonard kissed her.

She was shocked.

As she felt his body move to cover hers, Sharon instantly snapped back to her senses, frantically

shoving against his chest. Her voice cried out muffledly, "M-Master Leonard!"
