Mr. CEO's Young Mistress novel Chapter 17

While it had taken four hours for Sharon to complete the apology letter, it had taken less than four minutes for Leonard to finish reading it. 

Sharon watched as Leonard closed the letter back up. She immediately put her hands together in a praying fashion, staring at Leonard expectantly. 

"Is your hand sore?"

Sharon was startled by Leonard's unexpected question. 

...

Leonard frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on her right hand.

After gripping onto the pen for four hours, Sharon's index finger had a slight dent from where it had been resting.

Leonard reached out to grab her hand and led her to the bed.

He placed the letter beside him before lowering his head so he could gently rub Sharon's bruised finger with his thumb. 

Sharon's eyes fell to the same level as Leonard's, staring at his eyelashes.

They were long, dark, and seemed soft to the touch, unlike his tough demeanour. 

Sharon continued to watch him until she was lost in her thoughts. 

She did not even realize when Leonard lifted his head, looking at her.

Their eyes met and were instantly glued to each other, riveted.

Sharon's soft scent entered his nostrils, causing his pupils to dilate. 

Suddenly, a small hand waved in front of his face. 

Leonard jerked with a start and captured her moving hand, and his brows were tight as he stared at her. 

Melanie looked at the pile of study materials on her desk in exasperation. 

Sharon only frowned and looked at Melanie.

While the Faure family may not be on par with the Four Great Families in Montreal, it could still hold its own in the business world.

Melanie was the daughter of Marcel Faure and his first wife. Unfortunately, Melanie's mother passed away when she was only three years old.

Their families had been the ones who arranged their marriage. Hence, Marcel had little affection for Melanie's mother. 

Not to mention, before marrying Melanie's mother, Marcel had been going out with another girl. 

However, that woman's family background had not been as good as Melanie's mother's. In the end, Marcel gave up being with the woman he loved and chose to marry Melanie's mother.

But only shortly after Melanie's mother had died of illness, Marcel had remarried that woman as his new wife.
