Mr. CEO's Young Mistress
Chapter 44: His Girl
Sharon smiled at Oliver stiffly. "I-I was asking you, not the other way around."
Oliver saw how uncomfortable she was and did not push her any further, and naturally, Sharon did not ask that question again.
...
Soon, the car became silent again and all the way back to Coral Pavilion, neither of them spoke a word.
"Thanks for bringing me home, Oliver," Sharon said, unbuckling her seatbelt.
...
Oliver gave her a small smile. "It was nothing. Now, go on in."
Sharon nodded, opened the door, and got out. She gave Oliver a wave before walking towards the villa.
Oliver narrowed his eyes slightly at her retreating figure before restarting the engine and driving off.
Sharon had just reached the doors when she heard the sounds of the car driving off.
She paused and turned around to look in the direction Oliver had driven away.
She bit into her lip, eyes filling with suspicion.
Maybe it was her imagination, but Sharon could not shake off the feeling that Oliver knew something.
...
......
At the entryway, Sharon took off her coat and walked in. "I'm home, Kelley."
"Sharon," someone called out.
Sharon's hands froze, and she looked towards the living room. She exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa?"
Puvis grinned. "You're finally back. Come here."
Sharon looked at Nathan and Rosamond questioningly, who were sitting on the other couch, wearing stern faces.
Sharon walked over and sat down beside Puvis. She hooked her arm in his and whispered, "Why are you here today, Grandpa?"
"Well, I haven't seen you in days, so I missed you and wanted to come and visit," Puvis replied.
"So he came because he missed me. Then... what about them?" Sharon thought to herself as she glanced at Nathan and Rosamond, her lips pressed together.
...
...
Sharon doubt they missed her too.
Nathan has always given Sharon the cold shoulder whenever he saw her, so it was natural that they were not close.
...
As for Rosamond, she disliked Sharon because of Selena. For a mere adopted child, she also felt that Leonard gave her too much attention.
However, she would never speak of her bias aloud because of how much attention the media paid to an influential household like the Lefebvre family.
The media would take apart any slight slip up of Rosamond being biased and blame her for being selfish and self-centered. Even worse, they might accuse her of torturing Sharon.
...
Therefore, no matter how much Rosamond disliked Sharon, she still had to put up a front when in public.
