Mr. CEO's Young Mistress
Chapter 37: I Want to Be Your Man
Sharon trembled and stopped in her tracks.
Heavy footsteps approached her from behind, and the man grabbed her arm and pulled her into a cubicle forcefully before slamming the door shut with a loud bang.
...
...
A strong, muscular chest pressed Sharon firmly against the door.
Sharon felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest as she lifted her head to look at his stern face and stuttered. "M-Master Leonard."
Leonard wrapped a possessive arm around Sharon's waist and lifted her chin with another hand. His eyes were hard as he looked at her, and the temperature dropped to a freezing point.
...
"Sharon, I don't like you hiding from me, alright?" Leonard asked in a dull, hard voice. His head bowed as he looked deeply into Sharon's eyes.
"I-I'm not hiding from you." Sharon argued.
"Kiss me." Leonard suddenly requested.
Sharon's eyes widened in shock. She thought she had misheard him and stared blankly at him, flabbergasted.
Leonard frowned, and his eyes flitted over Sharon's pink, soft lips. His voice deepened as he demanded. "I'll believe you if you kiss me."
Realizing that she hadn't misheard him, Sharon blushed red instantly and resisted with her eyes.
Leonard read her eyes, and his jaw clenched.
"Are you scared of me or are you disgusted?" Leonard asked.
Sharon froze at the word "disgusted" and saw Leonard's eyes turning red, his face hardening.
...
Sharon stilled, and she curled her shaking fingers into a fist. "Master Leonard, can we please go back to how everything was before?" she begged softly, her voice shaking.
She looked deeply at Leonard, her eyes filled with desperation.
She longed to return to the past.
Sharon admitted she couldn't bear such a tremendous change, nor could she accept Leonard's feelings for her.
However, Sharon felt even more despaired by Leonard's overbearing persistence.
Sharon did not dare to imagine what would happen if the rest of the Lefebvre family knew about Leonard's feelings.
Sharon reached out to grasp the hem of Leonard's shirt, her voice hoarse. "Please, Master Leonard. Can't you just stay as my Master Leonard, huh? We're family forever, right? I'm begging you, Master Leonard..."
...
Leonard stared at the tears hanging from Sharon's eyes, and tenderness filled his eyes. He lifted a gentle hand to brush her tears away. "No, I don't want to only be your family. I want to be your man, your lover, your husband."
...
"Master Leonard..."
Tears fell down her face when she saw Leonard's determined gaze, and she suddenly felt sorrow surging through her.
