Mr. CEO's Young Mistress

Chapter 21: Just Like Chilled Jelly

Leonard carried Sharon in his arms and headed straight for her room. He brushed the bed veil aside,

gently placed Sharon on the bed and covered her with a thin blanket up to her chest.

He sat beside her on the bed and held her soft hand. His fingers rolled around her knuckles as he

gazed at her sleeping face, pink and plump.

Sharon has always been a beautiful girl. She had a pair of dazzling bright eyes and eyelashes that

were lush and long.

She had a beautiful oval face, a little pointy chin, a sharp nose, and a petite mouth. Not to mention, her

face always held a healthy, flushed glow.

Leonard's gaze fell on Sharon's lips that were open slightly. Unable to resist the temptation, he gently

ran his finger across her lips.

Swiftly, Leonard bent over and kissed Sharon on the lips.

This time, Leonard was aware that it wasn't a dream.

He finally kissed the girl he loved.

It was just as how he had imagined it to be, soft and slightly fragrant. It also felt moist and cool, just like

chilled jelly.

"Master Leonard..." Sharon suddenly murmured.

...

Leonard froze, his eyes narrowing. He quickly moved back and stared at Sharon.

However, Sharon did not wake up. Instead, her mouth was curled up as if she were dreaming, and

Leonard was a part of her dreams.

A hint of softness flashed across Leonard's usually indifferent face. Once again, he lowered his head NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

and gave her a gentle peck on the corner of her lips. Then, he stood up, lowered the veil, and walked

towards the door.

Leonard stopped in his tracks as he passed by Sharon's desk. He slowly turned to look at the box

Sharon had placed atop, and his eyes darkened.

......

The next day, Sharon woke up to find herself lying on her bed and was confused.

"Master Leonard must have carried me back after I fell asleep," Sharon thought to herself.

Sharon gave a big stretch and started humming happily as she got out of bed and went to the

washroom to freshen up.

After she was done, she stood in front of the dressing table and put on some toner. Too lazy to bother

with any moisturizer, she headed straight to her closet.

Soon after, Sharon came out dressed in her uniform. She walked over to her desk and grabbed her

bag, she was all set to go.

She was almost to the door when she froze. She suddenly turned to stare at the table.

"Where was the gift box?" she wondered.

Sharon took a deep breath and went back to the desk. She searched all over but the box was nowhere

to be found.

Sharon's eyes widened, puzzled. "What's going on? Where has the box gone?"

...

......

With her schoolbag in hand, Sharon ran downstairs. Without even looking at the person sitting on the

sofa, she headed straight for Kelley, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

Leonard lifted his head from the newspaper and calmly looked in the direction of the kitchen.

"Kelley, did you clean my room this morning?" Sharon's anxious voice came from the kitchen.

Leonard's brows furrowed, his lips pressed into a thin line.

"No. Why?" Kelley asked.

"If Kelley hadn't, then..." Sharon pondered to herself, dumbfounded.

...

"Where on earth could the gift box have gone?"

......

At the dining area.

Sharon held a fork in her hand and poked the chicken burrito on the plate repeatedly. She kept looking

at Leonard before averting her eyes again.

Leonard was calm and collected as he lifted his black coffee to take a sip.

Sharon gritted her teeth and summoned up all her courage. "Master Leonard—"

"It's mealtime right now," said Leonard in a clear voice, not even sparing Sharon a look.

Sharon tried not to scowl. She looked down at the chicken burrito impaled on the fork. She lowered the

fork, grabbed the burrito with her hands and started eating vigorously.

She managed to finish the whole burrito in less than two minutes!

Sharon picked up a napkin and casually wiped her hands. Then, she picked up a glass of milk and

gulped it down in one shot.

Sharon lowered her empty glass and took two deep breaths. She looked at Leonard with bright eyes,

panting slightly. "I'm done, Master Leonard."

Leonard lowered the newspaper in his hand, slowly stood up and walked out of the dining room.

Sharon felt awkward but still followed behind him. "Master Leonard, did you happen to see a beautiful

gift box on my desk when you brought me to my room last night?"

Leonard abruptly stopped in his tracks.

...

Sharon did not stop in time and rushed two more steps ahead. Seeing that Leonard had stopped, she

quickly braced herself, managing to stop right in front of him. She lifted her head to stare at him.

Leonard's face was frigid as he lowered his eyes to looked into Sharon's deep eyes.

Sharon trembled inside upon seeing his expression.

"What gift box?" Leonard asked coldly.

Erm...

Looking at Leonard's stern face, Sharon's heart started pounding.

"He seems to have no idea about the box. Maybe he hasn't seen it before?" Sharon thought. "But then

again, why didn't he say that in the first place? His face right now is so scary."

...

...

Sharon cleared her throat silently and slowly waved her hand. "No, it's nothing."

Leonard narrowed his eyes. He strode towards Sharon's direction but merely brushed past her

coldly.
