Mr. CEO's Young Mistress

Chapter 22: What Are Your Feelings Towards Master Leonard?

Sharon jerked and turned back to throw a secret glance towards Leonard's retreating back. She sighed

to herself, "Master Leonard's mood swings are getting harder to understand these days."

When Melanie arrived at the university later, Sharon immediately told her about the disappearance of

the gift box.

Melanie was silent for a moment after listening to her. Then, she looked at Sharon with an unreadable

expression and slowly asked, "Sharon, what are your feelings towards Leonard?"

Sharon was startled by Melanie's question.

"We're talking about the gift box right now. What does it have to do with Master Leonard?" Sharon

wondered.

Sharon looked at Melanie, confused, but she still replied Melanie honestly, "Master Leonard saved my

life, so I respect him and rely on him."

"Just as someone who saved you?" Melanie stared at Sharon.

Sharon looked at Melanie strangely for a few seconds and said, "Of course."

Melanie pursed her lips and frowned. "Then, how about towards Simon?"

Sharon's face immediately heated up.

Melanie looked at Sharon's slightly flushed face and narrowed her eyes slightly. "Do you like him?"

Sharon has always regarded Melanie as her best friend, and she believed that Melanie felt the same

way.

Therefore, Sharon did not try to hide the truth. She answered, "I don't hate him. On the contrary, I feel

very comfortable when I'm alone with him."

Melanie herself has never dated, so she could not determine whether Sharon liked Simon or just felt

comforted by him.

After pondering for a while, Melanie extended a hand to Sharon.

Sharon blinked. "What?"

"Give me your phone," Melanie replied.

The corners of Sharon's mouth twitched. She took her phone out from under the desk and placed it in

Melanie's hand.

Melanie opened the search engine and keyed in everything Sharon had just described.

She clicked on the first search result that came out.

Melanie glanced at the screen and handed it back to Sharon. "Here you go."

Sharon took the phone from her and read the results displayed on the screen. "You most probably like

him. That's why you feel relaxed around him instead of being awkward with each other."

"D-Does that mean that I like Simon?" Sharon asked herself mentally.

Sharon shook her head and quitted the application. She returned her phone to under her desk and

looked at Melanie, who was staring at her. "I'm not done with my studies yet, so let's not think too much

about this. Besides, Master Leonard would never agree to me dating now."

...

"It doesn't matter how old you are, he's still never going to agree to you dating!" Melanie then added in

her head, "Not unless it's with him!"

Melanie bit her tongue just in time.

Melanie knew how much Sharon relied on Leonard and how she saw him as a pillar of support.

If Sharon were getting to know about Leonard's true feelings for her, the consequences would be

unthinkable.

...

Hearing Melanie words, Sharon was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled. "I think I understand

how Master Leonard feels. Since he was the one who brought me up, I can imagine that seeing me

date someone would be like seeing his daughter get a boyfriend."

...

"His daughter, huh?" Melanie thought to herself.

Melanie's eyes twitched, and her jaw ticked.

Melanie waved Sharon off, not wanting to continue the topic further.

......

By the afternoon, classes were over, and Sharon returned to the Coral Pavilion. She slid the bag off her

shoulder while heading to the living room.

She was surprised to see Leonard sitting in the living room.

"Master Leonard, why are you back so early today?"

Leonard looked at her calmly. "There was not much work in the company, so I left early."

"I see," Sharon noted mentally.

Sharon placed her bag on the sofa and walked over to sit next to Leonard. She swept a gaze across

the console table in front of the sofa and froze.

The gift box that had disappeared that morning had somehow magically reappeared on the console

table in the living room.

Sharon blinked many times in disbelief, but the gift box was still on the table.

Sharon turned to look at Leonard, her bright eyes questioning.

Leonard, however, was cool as a cucumber. "Didn't you say that it was missing this morning? So I went

to your room and found it."

"Excuse me?" Sharon exclaimed mentally.
