Mr. CEO's Young Mistress novel Chapter 14

"Heh, someone seems to have fallen in love." Paul Nelson leaned on the window sill of the back seat and stared at Sharon with a grin. He did not notice that someone's face had suddenly turned dark. 

Oliver Adams sat in the passenger seat as he held the hand with a cigarette outside the window. He pinched the cigarette between two fingers and flicked the ash off with his index finger. "That kid is Pierre Guerin's only son, and he has high hopes for him to succeed the Guerin family and continue their legacy of political power.  

...

"Pierre Guerin's son, eh? Not bad, not bad. He's from a decent family and pretty good looking. Although he's slightly inferior compared to Sharon, I would say that he passed." Paul concluded.

Oliver looked over to the person next to him. Seeing his expression, Oliver furrowed his brows but did not say much more. 

Others may not know how Leonard felt towards Sharon, but Oliver did. 

Leonard had long since lost control over his feelings for her.

"Oh, my, look at Sharon acting all shy. Isn't she in love—ow!"

Before Paul could finish his sentence, the car lurched into motion. 

Unprepared, Paul slammed his chin against the window and howled in pain. 

Frantically grabbing a handle to steady himself, he glared at the driver, who was still stepping hard on the accelerator. 

After getting used to the speed, Paul turned to Oliver, confounded, and asked, "What's going on?"

Oliver gave him a sympathetic look and shrugged.

Paul was speechless.

......

At five o'clock in the evening, everyone took the school bus back to school, then went back to their homes.

Instead of taking the school bus like everyone, Melanie rode her scooter and left earlier. 

Needless to say that Sharon ended up leaving with Simon. 

...

After getting off the school bus, Simon looked at Sharon as if he was afraid of being rejected. He cautiously asked Sharon, "S-Shall I send you home?"

Simon just brought a sense of comfort to her, never pressuring her in any way.

Almost 20 minutes later, the car that came to pick her up stopped near them.

Sharon looked towards the car, then back at Simon, and said, "My ride's here. Thank you for waiting with me."

"Don't sweat it. I'm just happy that you let me accompany you." Simon said slowly, his bright eyes looking at Sharon.

Sharon's face blushed bright red. She waved her hand and said, "I'll be off, then."

Without waiting for Simon to answer, she ran towards the car.

Simon looked at Sharon's slender back and could not help beaming.

Sharon ran to open the door of the backseat, but her hand paused on the handle. She lifted her head to glance at Simon, only to see him standing at the same spot. Seeing her look at him, he gave her a wave.

Sharon's red face turned a shade darker, and she bit her lower lip gently before she opened the door and got in.
