Mr. CEO's Young Mistress

Chapter 34: It Hurts

A male voice came from the other end of the phone. "Sharon..."

Sharon removed the phone to glance at the caller ID. It was a foreign caller, but they must be acquaintances if he knew her name. 

She returned the phone to her ear and asked, "And you are?"

"Sharon, are you all right? Why haven't you been coming to school lately? Did something happen?" he bombarded. 

Sharon was startled. "Do I know you? And why do you have my number?" 

Sharon cheekily responded with more questions instead. 

"Ahem." An awkward cough came from the other end of the phone. "I'm sorry. I was too nervous."

Sharon heard him taking a deep breath before speaking. "I'm Simon."

...

Erm... 

She couldn't really say that she hadn't recognized it was him.

Pressing her lips together, she asked. "Is something the matter?"

"Nothing. I was just wondering why you hadn't been coming to classes lately. Are you sick?" Simon's voice was full of worry.

"Oh, I had a minor surgery." Worried that Simon would overwhelm her with his concerns, Sharon quickly added, "It was only an appendectomy, and I'm almost fine now."

Simon remained silent on the other end of the phone. 

Sharon lowered her phone and glanced at it uncertainly. Seeing that it was still connected, she returned it to her ear to hear Simon reply in a low voice, "It hurt a lot, didn't it?"

Sharon let out a small sigh and changed the subject. "It was alright. By the way, how did you get my phone number?"

...

"I-I asked your friend for it." Simon stammered, worried about exposing Melanie.

Sharon instantly understood. She merely replied, "I see."

"Please don't blame her! I was the one who pestered her to give me your number." Simon stuttered nervously. 

"Why would I blame her?" Sharon laughed.

Simon sighed in relief. "Alright, then."

"Simon, I, um, I'm in the middle of something. So..." Sharon said apologetically.

"Oh, sure! T-Then, take care." Simon responded. 

"Thank you." Sharon was just about to hang up when she heard him speak again.

"Sharon..."

Sharon's movements halted, and she brought the phone back to her ear. "Yes?"

"May I visit you?" Simon asked softly, his voice hoarse with nervousness. 

Sharon's hand tightened around her phone, and she bit into her lip, silent.
