It was already 11 o'clock at night. After four long hours, Sharon finally finished her apology letter.
Throwing the pen back into the pen holder, Sharon rubbed her aching wrist. She stretched her body and got up, heading to the room beside hers with her apology letter in hand.
Usually, at this time, Leonard would not have gone to bed yet.
Sharon, forgetting to knock, as usual, pushed the door open and walked in. "Master Leonard—Huh?"
Sharon realized that Leonard was not in his room when she walked in.
"Could he be in the study room?" she wondered.
At that, Sharon turned around, about to head for the study room.
Just about to leave, she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
"Oh, Master Leonard must be showering." she realized.
Sharon threw the bathroom a glance before closing the door and leapt onto the bed in the middle of the room. She turned to face the ceiling and flipped through the apology letter, admiring her writing.
...
"To be honest, I should be a writer in the future. With the way my apology letters turn out, it'll be a pity if I don't choose a career in writing." Sharon thought to herself.
The sound of running water suddenly stopped.
Sharon immediately scrambled off the bed and stood beside the bed obediently.
She hoped that Master Leonard would see her remorseful attitude and be more lenient when reviewing the apology letter.
...
The bathroom door opened with a creak.
"Master Leonard—"
Sharon had just called out to him when the rest of the sentence stuck in her throat.
Her eyes opened wide as if she saw a ghost.
Sharon looked at Leonard, her mouth closed tight.
"Master Leonard looks so sexy even though it's only a sleeping robe!
"How could anyone be so handsome?" she wondered.
This year, during Montreal's contest to choose Montreal's most attractive man whom women would sleep with, Leonard had topped the charts.
"Why aren't you in bed at this hour?" asked Leonard as he casually tied up his robe and glanced at Sharon.
Sharon was still frozen as she stared at Leonard. A few seconds later, she broke out of her reverie and sucked a deep breath, remembering the purpose of her visit.
As if presenting a treasure, she handed the apology letter to Leonard with a smile. "Master Leonard, I've finished writing the apology letter. Here you are."
Leonard froze for a split second. It was as if he hadn't expected Sharon to finish it so quickly.
Narrowing his eyes, Leonard tightened his lips slightly. He accepted the letter, opened it, and started flipping through it, page by page.
Sharon's face scrunched up as she thought to herself, "Master Leonard, it's just an apology letter. You don't have to read it so seriously, you know?"
