Mr. CEO's Young Mistress novel Chapter 27

Sharon looked at Leonard gratefully, her heart warm. 

Shirley and Selena sat on the sofa upstairs, none of them looking quite happy.

However, compared to Selena, Shirley knew how to keep her emotions of her face. 

Suddenly, footsteps came from upstairs.

Shirley jerked and immediately turned to look upstairs. 

All she saw was Sharon running out of the study room and into her own room. After a moment, she ran out again with something in her arms and entered the study room again. 

With a bang, the door of the study room closed before Shirley's eyes.

Shirley's fingers subconsciously dug into her palm. She slowly turned around and lowered her head to stare blankly at the floor.

Seeing that Sharon could freely enter Leonard's study room, Selena scowled in dissatisfaction, her hands tugging on the sofa harshly. 

......

By 11 at night, both of them had yet to emerge from the study room.

Selena kept looking at the clock on the wall and back to the study room on the second floor. 

Shirley, on the other hand, kept her head low. Her face was covered by her long locks so it was impossible to tell what expression she had at that moment. 

The sound of footsteps approached.

Shirley's eyelids twitched, and she opened her eyes. 

It was the driver, Nick Collins. He gave them a respectful nod. "It's getting late. Sir has instructed me to send both of you back."

"What?" Selena exclaimed in a tearful voice.

She had intentionally came to visit Leonard, but he had headed for the study room right after dinner and hasn't come out since then, and she's too scared to go upstairs and disturb him.

Selena felt very hurt and her eyes turned red.

A cold glint flashed in Shirley's for a split second before she hid it. She turned to Selena and said with a gentle smile, "We must have chosen a bad time to visit. Since your brother is busy today, let's visit another day."

Selena bit into her lower lip and lifted her head to look at the first floor. She stood up furiously and stomped towards the door. 

Shirley merely narrowed her eyes and lifted her head before getting up and leaving as well. 

......

At the second-floor study room.

Kelley walked over and uncovered the veil. "Miss, it's alre..." 

Before even finishing her sentence, she sucked in a deep breath and let out a scream. 

Sharon was curled up into a ball on the bed. Her face was pale and she was drenched in sweat, her hair sticking onto her face and neck. 

Her eyes were tightly closed, and her mouth could not stop trembling.

Kelley was so frightened that she panicked for several seconds before rushing out to call Leonard.

After a while, someone came rushing through the door. 

Leonard quickly carried Sharon into his arms. His face, initially only frowning, turned white after seeing the state Sharon was in. 

Cradling Sharon's trembling body close, Leonard turned around and rushed towards the door, almost knocking Kelley over in the process. 

...

Kelley stabilised herself and looked on worriedly as Leonard carried Sharon out of the villa hurriedly. 

Kelley couldn't help but gasp. It was the first time she had ever seen Leonard lose control.
