Mr. CEO's Young Mistress

Chapter 4: What a Tyrant!



At the dining room of the villa.

Sharon and Leonard sat facing each other.

Although he did not have the habit of eating in the morning, Leonard made sure to have breakfast with Sharon whenever he was home.

Sharon picked up a fork and started gobbling up her food. She kept peeking at Leonard, who was reading some newspaper and only drinking a cup of coffee.

"Spit it out." A low male voice suddenly sounded.

Sharon jumped and almost dropped her food.

Leonard removed his eyes from the newspaper and looked at Sharon.

His calm expression made Sharon's blood run cold.

Swallowing her food, Sharon lowered her fork and put her hands together under her chin like she was praying. She blinked pitifully and pleaded to him softly. "Master Leonard, can I please join in the school's Autumn field trip next week?"

"No." Leonard refused immediately.

"Please, Master Leonard. I'm already a university student, but I've never participated in any school tours or class gatherings. Won't you let me go just this once? Please?"

Sharon rubbed her hands together and begged.

Leonard stared at Sharon's hopeful face. Just when Sharon thought she still had a chance, Leonard dashed her hopes. "This is out of the question!"

Sharon was angry but kept her mouth shut. "What a tyrant!" she thought.

Sharon glared at Leonard. After realising that he wasn't going to give her any response, she stood up and ready to stomp out of the dining room.

"Finish your breakfast and your milk," he commanded leisurely.

Sharon clenched her fist and sat back down. She grabbed a bun and stuffed it into her mouth, fuming.

Leonard looked at Sharon, who was glaring at him as she ate her food, indignified.

Leonard's eyes were hooded, his frown making it hard for others to guess what was going through his head.

At the Bluesky University.

"What's wrong? You look so listless."

Melanie, being the tomboy that she was, came into the class with her bag flung over a shoulder, only to see Sharon lying across her table lifelessly. She held a pen in her hand as she continuously poked her desk.

Melanie plopped herself down next to Sharon.

Sharon sighed and shook her head.

Melanie secretly smiled. She took out her breakfast from under her desk and started eating as she questioned Sharon, "You went home to ask for his permission, didn't you? So, how did it go?" Sharon let out a long sigh without saying anything.

"Alright, then." Melanie immediately understood. "I guess he didn't approve."

"I don't understand. Why won't Master Leonard let me join the Autumn field trip?" Sharon was confused and down the dumps.

"It isn't just the Autumn field trip you aren't allowed to go. He even kicks up a fuss when you have a simple meal with me. I swear, he controls you so much that you wouldn't be able to live without him."

Erm...

Sharon licked her lips and whispered, "You're exaggerating."

Melanie only responded with a chuckle.

Sharon merely spared Melanie a glance.

After their last class in the afternoon, Sharon stuffed her books into her bag and walked out of the classroom with Melanie.

"Sharon Andre."

Someone called her from behind.

Sharon and Melanie stopped in their tracks and turned back.

A handsome young man stood there, clad in a clean white t-shirt and casual pants. He was staring at Sharon, blushing.

Sharon instantly recognized him.

Simon Guerin!

He was the representative of the next class and the school's basketball team captain. He was also the dream guy to countless people in the school, including the guys.

Even Sharon and Melanie had secretly watched his plays.

He was so handsome!

But, how did he know her?

Sharon blinked and stared at Simon blankly. Her voice was crisp and soft. "M-me?"

Simon took a breath before walking towards Sharon and Melanie.

As he approached them, Sharon started to sweat.

Melanie, on the other hand, retreated knowingly.

Simon's face became even more flushed. He stopped about two steps away from Sharon.

He had a handsome face but looked shy as he stared at Sharon, smitten. "Yeah."

Sharon tilted her head and looked at him curiously. "Do you need anything from me?"

"My name is Simon Guerin." Simon clenched his fists, slightly nervous.

"I know." Sharon smiled at him. "I don't think anyone in the school doesn't recognize you."

Sharon had not expected her casual words to make Simon turn red to the tip of his ears. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
