Mr. CEO's Young Mistress

Because of the birthday banquet and her stay in the hospital, Sharon missed another week of classes. Again. 

The first mock tests were now less than half a month away. 

As soon as Sharon returned, she could feel that the atmosphere in the class was much tenser.

The weirdest part was that no one commented on her missing out on an entire week's worth of classes. 

...

In the past, she would have been swarmed with people saying things like how she could choose not to attend classes because she had the backing of someone rich like Leonard.

Sharon soon found her seat and sat down.

She studied the students around her who were busy studying and knew that she had no time to accustom herself to the pressure. 

With a deep sigh, she pulled out all the exercise papers she had missed from under her desk and laid them out on the table.

Her head started spinning at the sight of the tall pile in front of her. 

She quickly sorted through all the papers she had. 

There were five English papers, eight mathematics papers, and another eight French papers, bringing the number to over twenty. 

Oh, Lord! 

Sharon stiffened, feeling overwhelmed. 

"The lecturers have already explained all these before, so you can just ignore them." Melanie rubbed her nose sheepishly and suggested when she saw Sharon's troubled look.

Sharon rolled her eyes.

"But let's be honest. With your results, you don't have to be so worried. I think you'll be fine even if you take the exams now," Melanie said. 

"Well, thank you for thinking so highly of me." Sharon chuckled.

"I'm serious," Melanie said with a straight face.

Sharon merely smiled. She took out a French exercise paper and started working on it. 

Melanie pursed her lips but did not disturb Sharon when she saw her nose-deep in her papers. 

Melanie sighed deeply to herself. 

Did you know what the scariest thing in the world was?

It was the people who worked harder than everyone else despite being smarter than most of them!

It was clear that Sharon could rely on her looks to get what she wanted. Instead, she chose to work hard.

Melanie groaned to herself silently. 

Discreetly, Melanie pulled out a physics textbook and started doing her revisions. 

"There's a genius beside me. If I don't work harder, I'm going to appear like an idiot," she thought.

......

After their classes in the afternoon, Melanie planned to hitch a ride from Sharon since she didn't have to work today. 

However, when she finished packing up, she saw that Sharon was still busy with her practice papers. 

Melanie did not want to disturb her, so she sat in her seat and waited dumbly. 

After almost thirty minutes, Sharon still had no intentions of packing up. 

Melanie's smile was dry as she pulled out some mathematics exercise papers.
