Mr. CEO's Young Mistress

Chapter 14: A Budding Romance

"Heh, someone seems to have fallen in love." Paul Nelson leaned on the window sill of the back seat

and stared at Sharon with a grin. He did not notice that someone's face had suddenly turned dark.

Oliver Adams sat in the passenger seat as he held the hand with a cigarette outside the window. He

pinched the cigarette between two fingers and flicked the ash off with his index finger. "That kid is

Pierre Guerin's only son, and he has high hopes for him to succeed the Guerin family and continue

their legacy of political power.

...

"Pierre Guerin's son, eh? Not bad, not bad. He's from a decent family and pretty good looking. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Although he's slightly inferior compared to Sharon, I would say that he passed." Paul concluded.

Oliver looked over to the person next to him. Seeing his expression, Oliver furrowed his brows but did

not say much more.

Others may not know how Leonard felt towards Sharon, but Oliver did.

Leonard had long since lost control over his feelings for her.

"Oh, my, look at Sharon acting all shy. Isn't she in love—ow!"

Before Paul could finish his sentence, the car lurched into motion.

Unprepared, Paul slammed his chin against the window and howled in pain.

Frantically grabbing a handle to steady himself, he glared at the driver, who was still stepping hard on

the accelerator.

After getting used to the speed, Paul turned to Oliver, confounded, and asked, "What's going on?"

Oliver gave him a sympathetic look and shrugged.

Paul was speechless.

......

At five o'clock in the evening, everyone took the school bus back to school, then went back to their

homes.

Instead of taking the school bus like everyone, Melanie rode her scooter and left earlier.

Needless to say that Sharon ended up leaving with Simon.

...

After getting off the school bus, Simon looked at Sharon as if he was afraid of being rejected. He

cautiously asked Sharon, "S-Shall I send you home?"

"He wants to send me home?" Sharon wondered alarmedly.

Sharon's eyes widened slightly. "No thanks."

If he sent her back, she would definitely be exposed!

Seeing how Sharon rejected him without even thinking twice, Simon's face immediately turned red.

Sharon saw it and bit into her lip frustratedly. "Don't get me wrong. I didn't mean it that way. It's just that

someone will be coming to fetch me later, so..."

"I see."

After hearing Sharon's explanation, Simon was relieved. "Then, I'll wait with you until your driver

arrives."

Sharon was about to refuse but thought back to just now. It wouldn't be nice to refuse him twice, so she

had no choice but to nod her head in agreement.

...

......

Although Sharon and Simon didn't talk much after that, she felt comfortable in silence.

Simon just brought a sense of comfort to her, never pressuring her in any way.

Almost 20 minutes later, the car that came to pick her up stopped near them.

Sharon looked towards the car, then back at Simon, and said, "My ride's here. Thank you for waiting

with me."

"Don't sweat it. I'm just happy that you let me accompany you." Simon said slowly, his bright eyes

looking at Sharon.

Sharon's face blushed bright red. She waved her hand and said, "I'll be off, then."

Without waiting for Simon to answer, she ran towards the car.

Simon looked at Sharon's slender back and could not help beaming.

Sharon ran to open the door of the backseat, but her hand paused on the handle. She lifted her head to

glance at Simon, only to see him standing at the same spot. Seeing her look at him, he gave her a

wave.

Sharon's red face turned a shade darker, and she bit her lower lip gently before she opened the door

and got in.
