Mr. CEO's Young Mistress

The hospital had called, their tone frantic, saying that Sharon had gone missing. 

Oliver watched as Leonard hung up the phone. His face was stoic as he headed for the doors. Oliver rolled his eyes but followed behind him. 

Back in Peace Hospital, everyone was looking for Sharon. Yet despite searching in every nook and cranny, she was still nowhere to be found. 

Leonard made his way to the family manor. 

Surprised by his visit, Puvis frowned when he saw Leonard. 

Leonard cut to the chase and asked, "Where's Sharon?"

"Shouldn't she be in the hospital right now?" Puvis asked.

Leonard's face was stony as he scrutinized Puvis. "She's gone. No one has seen her."

"Is that so?" Puvis narrowed his eyes.

Leonard flattened his lips without saying anything. After looking at Puvis for a moment, he turned and walked out. 

Puvis humphed smugly to himself as he watched Leonard leave. Placing his hands on the arms of the rocking chair, he closed his eyes and leaned back, humming softly. 

......

"You can stop searching. Sharon's with gramps." Leonard had stopped his car in front of the manor. Seated in the driver's seat, he gripped the steering wheel with one hand and called Oliver with the other. 

"Did you see her?" Oliver asked.

"No."

"Did he tell you that she was with him?" Oliver asked again.

Leonard did not reply. Exasperated, Oliver asked, "Then, how can you be so sure?"

"He's too calm." Leonard peered towards the manor. 

Puvis adored Sharon very much, so much so that it was unusual to see him unaffected after hearing that Sharon had gone missing. 

If Sharon hadn't been at the manor, Puvis's normal reaction to the news would have been to spring to his feet and yell at Leonard for not taking good care of her. 

However, Puvis had remained calm, which made no sense.

That could only mean that Sharon was indeed in the manor. 

"What do you mean?" Oliver's puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone.

Without another word, Leonard hung up the phone.

Oliver was speechless on the other end of the phone.

Sharon was indeed in the manor. Puvis made sure to hide this not only from Leonard but also from Nathan and the rest of the family.
