Mr. CEO's Young Mistress
Chapter 49: You Would Have Destroyed Anyone Who Bullied You
Sharon's birthday banquet was to be held in Imperial Hotel at eight in the evening.
At nine in the morning, stylists and makeup artists had already arrived at the villa to give Sharon her makeover.
Sharon could not wrap her head around why she had to prepare so early.
At half past six in the evening, Sharon arrived at the hotel and waited in the VIP lounge.
By seven, she called Melanie to ask whether she had arrived, who replied that she was on her way.
...
After calling Melanie, her grip on the phone tightened. After thinking for a moment, she sent a message to Simon.
"Simon, have you arrived?"
He replied almost immediately.
"Yes. Don't worry."
Reading his message, Sharon let out a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the doors opened. Sharon immediately locked her phone and lifted her head.
Leonard wore a dark blue suit with matching trousers. He paired it with a white dress shirt and a waistcoat of the same colour, along with a burgundy tie. There was also a handkerchief that was neatly folded in his pocket. To top of his look, he wore leather shoes that were smartly polished.
...
At almost two meters tall, he looked absolutely charming in his custom outfit!
Although, it'd be even better if he wore another expression.
"I heard you ate little at noon. Are you hungry?"
Leonard walked up to her and bent down, looking at her tenderly.
"Nope." Sharon avoided his eyes, slightly guilty of what she was going to do next.
...
Actually, Leonard knew she was up to something since three days prior, but he kept silent.
When Sharon saw him sitting down beside her casually, she felt suffocated. Her heart started pounding faster, and she tensed.
Sharon froze when a large hand suddenly held hers, her eyes widening at him.
...
Leonard lowered his gaze calmly. In a gentle tone, he asked, "Are you nervous?"
Leonard opened Sharon's fist to find it covered in sweat.
Feeling guiltier, Sharon quickly pulled her hand out of his grasp and looked away. "A little."

It wasn't the banquet she was anxious about, but what she planned to do later.
