Mr. CEO's Young Mistress
Chapter 20: Master Leonard, Your Heart Is Beating So Fast

As soon as Sharon called out to him, a hand lashed out to grip tightly onto one of hers.

Sharon was shocked. Holding her breath, she looked at Leonard.

"I'll leave him to you, Sharon. Paul and I have something else to deal with, so we'll be leaving first." Oliver's warm voice rung out.

Sharon blinked and turned to look outside the car.

Oliver was dragging Paul by the arm into another car.

After a while, their car passed by Leonard's.

Sharon turned to look at Leonard and called out again softly, "Master Leonard."

Leonard's eyes remained closed, but he yanked his hand that was holding on to Sharon's.

Sharon was caught off guard and fell straight into his arms.

She rested her face on Leonard's chest, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat travelling to her ears.

Once again, Sharon blinked and called out to him, "Master Leonard."

"Just sit with me for a while," he said, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Alright." Sharon nodded slightly in his arms.

Barely a minute of being still, Sharon suddenly placed her hand on the upper left side of Leonard's chest. She muttered, "Master Leonard, your heart is beating so fast." Leonard swallowed, his Adam's apple moving up and down. He slowly opened his eyes and stared at Sharon.

The off-road car raced along the asphalt roads.

Paul was perplexed as he stared at Oliver, who held a cigarette in one hand and gripped the steering wheel with the other. "Just what business do you have? Do you really think that Sharon is strong enough to carry a drunk Leonard? Sometimes, I have no idea what's going on in your head," Paul said exasperatedly.

Oliver placed the cigarette in his mouth and switched hands to control the steering wheel. He squinted his eyes at Paul, who was acting indignant. After a moment of silence, he replied, "He's not drunk." "What? Who isn't drunk?" Paul didn't understand.

"Leonard. He isn't drunk," Oliver said.

"What?" Paul thought.

Paul stared at Oliver with his eyes wide open, puzzled. "Are you saying that Leonard wasn't drunk?"

"That's right."

"Then why wouldn't he get out the car just now?" Paul scowled.

"He was waiting for Sharon," Oliver answered.

Paul's eyes widened again, still confused.

"We were already at the gates, so why was he waiting for Sharon?" Paul questioned himself.

Paul ran it through his head but was still bewildered. "I don't understand. Why was Leonard waiting for Sharon?" Paul asked Oliver.

Oliver was silent.

"Hey...

"Leonard likes Sharon."

"Everyone in Montreal knew that already. You're just stating the obvious."

Who in Montreal did not know that Sharon Andre was Leonard Lefebvre's most treasured being in the world?

"How old is Leonard this year?" Oliver looked at Paul.

Paul looked at Oliver speechlessly, "Almost thirty."

"Thirty." Oliver tugged at his lips. "After all these years, have you ever seen Leonard getting a girlfriend?"

"How could he? With the lady of the Cook family guarding him so closely, it would be a miracle to see any females near him, let alone getting a girlfriend," said Paul, his lips curled.

Oliver frowned and looked at Paul sympathetically.

The hints he had given were so obvious, yet Paul was still oblivious!

Just how dim-witted was Paul?

"Wait, hold on! How did the subject suddenly change to Leonard getting a girlfriend?" Paul took a deep breath. "What?"

Oliver shook his head. He didn't want his intelligence to drop as well. With Paul's head, no matter how obvious the hint was, he would never get it anyway.

Back in the car, Sharon leaned against Leonard's chest, struggling to keep her eyes open.

Leonard watched as Sharon's eyes grew smaller until they completely closed. With a small smile, he pushed the car door open and cradled her in his arms. Holding her carefully, Leonard got out of the car and walked towards the villa. 00☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
