Mr. CEO's Young Mistress
Chapter 52: This Is Simon Guerin, My Boyfriend
Sharon froze and turned around, confused. Someone had walked over moments ago.
Sharon's heartbeat quickened, and her face paled. Her bright eyes studied his hard face uneasily.
"Master Leonard," Sharon quavered softly.
...
Leonard's eyes swept over Sharon before looking at Oliver and Daniel out of the corner of his eye.
Oliver raised his eyebrows and stepped forward with a small smile. He took the present from Simon and said, "On behalf of Sharon, thank you for the gift."
Simon was disappointed. He had intended to give it to her personally!
Oliver pretended not to notice Simon's dissatisfaction. Turning his head, he narrowed his eyes on Sharon.
Melanie was standing next to Sharon, still holding onto her arm. She was watching Leonard warily, as if afraid that he might do something to Sharon.
This made Oliver's lips curl up into a small grin.
"Is he your classmate?" Leonard looked at Sharon and asked in an indifferent tone.
Sharon gulped, tongue-tied. She had not prepared herself to face him yet.
"Master Leonard," blurted Simon suddenly.
...
...
Immediately, Sharon, Melanie, Oliver and Daniel fell silent.
...
Oliver turned his face slightly, trying to suppress his laughter, and Daniel's eyebrows flew up.
...
Sharon's face held an uncomfortable smile as she peeked at Leonard, whose expression seemed indifferent.
He did not seem to mind Simon addressing him that.
Melanie sucked in a breath silently, praying for Simon wordlessly.
"What an idiot!" Melanie thought.
Everyone's reaction confused Simon.
"Was I not supposed to call him that?" Simon wondered.
Since Sharon called him Master Leonard, isn't it fine if he followed suit?
"Sharon."
Puvis had caught sight of Sharon before Simon approached her. But when he saw Leonard and the others heading towards her, he became impatient and came over as well.

Sharon's face lit up when she heard Puvis's voice, like she found her saviour. "Grandpa."
Puvis hummed in acknowledgement with a smile.
