Sharon Kate, Thoroughly Handled by Leon

Knock, knock, knock~

Not long after Pepper left.

There came another knock at Leon's office door.

"Come in."

Accompanied by the crisp clatter of high heels against the floor, a blonde young woman in a purple off-the-shoulder bodycon dress entered. Her slightly plump, voluptuous thighs were wrapped in sheer black stockings.

She was the female S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who had disguised herself as a genius university PhD graduate in order to get close to Leon.

—Sharon Kate.

The information Pepper had brought stated that she had been born in 1986 and was only twenty-two this year.

Leon, who had been born two and a half minutes after Tony, was a full sixteen years older than her. If one wanted to be a little outrageous, he could barely pass for her father.

If Leon had not known her true identity in advance, her age alone would have made it difficult for him to associate her with a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

She should have been an innocent young girl who had only just entered society. What the hell had S.H.I.E.L.D. done to her?!

Leon could not stop himself from looking down on and condemning them in his heart, then gave them a thumbs-up. Well done!

"Hello, Mr. Leon. I'm Sharon Kate, here to apply for the position of your secretary. I'm very happy to be of service."

"How happy?"

"Uh..."

Leon's very first line left Kate speechless.

"Just kidding. Don't take it seriously."

Leon laughed heartily and gestured for Sharon Kate to sit.

"All right."

Sharon Kate smiled along with him, smoothed the wrinkles in her bodycon dress, and sat somewhat stiffly across from Leon's desk.

Who knew whether she was genuinely nervous or merely pretending through her acting skills.

After that.

The atmosphere in the office sank into an eerie silence.

Leon said nothing. He merely stared fixedly at Sharon Kate, his gaze roaming up and down her body as though he wanted to devour her whole with his eyes alone.

After a long silence.

Unable to withstand the pressure Leon was putting on her, Sharon Kate parted her pink, plump lips, outlined by lip gloss, and stammered:

"S-Sorry~"

"Mr. Leon, I thought I was only here for an interview today, so I didn't wear a work uniform. If you think this isn't appropriate, I'll go home and change right away."

After saying that.

Sharon Kate tried to stand, but Leon raised a hand to stop her.

"Hey, hey, hey, sit down. That's not what I meant."

Leon rose from his office chair, walked behind Sharon Kate, and placed both hands on her bare shoulders.

The moment he touched her, Leon could clearly feel Sharon Kate's entire body tremble unnaturally for an instant, only for her to forcefully suppress it at once.

Seeing that.

The corner of Leon's lips curled upward. Sharon Kate really was a well-trained agent. Her acting was simply top-notch—though perhaps there had been a trace of genuine emotion in it too.

In any case,

Things had gotten interesting.

After all,

One of Leon's favorite things to do was thoroughly dye a sheet of black paper pretending to be white in his own colors.

Just as Leon was considering how to use this opportunity to subtly turn Sharon Kate into one of his people.

Beep, beep, beep—

"Young Master Leon, there is a call from Stark Villa."

JARVIS interrupted his train of thought at a rather inopportune moment through the Bluetooth earpiece Leon was wearing.

"Put it through."

Somewhat displeased, Leon removed his hands from Sharon Kate's shoulders and stepped aside.

Seeing that.

Sharon Kate immediately felt as though a burden had been lifted. She carefully let out a long breath. She had thought Leon Stark was going to have his way with her the moment they met.

But...

Leon Stark was indeed even more handsome in person than in his photographs.

With an admiring gaze, Sharon Kate secretly looked toward Leon's back and began silently considering how she could pry out the intelligence Director Fury wanted from him.

If she could complete the mission without communicating with him, that would naturally be best.

But if communication was unavoidable, Sharon Kate felt that she could accept it.

After all.

No exaggeration, no slander.

Even though Leon Stark had a terrible reputation.

His succubus-like mature good looks and immense fortune still made him

the dream lover of women throughout America, from elderly women with one foot already in the grave to young girls just beginning to understand love.

If they ranked the people they fantasized about at night, Leon Stark would certainly be at the very top.

It could be said.

He was handsome, filthy rich, and loved to have fun.

The combined effect of those traits was no less powerful than a nuclear bomb.

Leon: "Hey, bro."

Tony: "Ready, my uniformed boy? The Grim Reaper is heading out."

Leon: "You know me. I'm always ready."

Tony: "Good. We're waiting for you at home. Oh, right, the thing you asked for has been fixed too."

Leon: "Really? I'll be right back!"

After the brothers finished their brief call, Leon intended to leave immediately, only to find that Sharon Kate had anticipated his move and stopped him.

"Mr. Leon, where are you going? Miss Pepper instructed me that until the company gets through this crisis, you can only stay in your office for the next few days."

"Oh?"

"Is that so?"

A wicked curve appeared on Leon's lips as he advanced toward Sharon Kate step by step, quickly pinning her against the wall!

"Then let me ask you, Kate."

"Are you my secretary, or Pepper's?"

"I-I am, of course, your secretary, Mr. Leon."

Startled, Sharon Kate lowered her head as she answered. She did not dare meet Leon's eyes at all, like a child who had made a mistake and was being scolded by an adult.

"Since you're my secretary, you should listen to me."

"Now, Kate, I order you to move aside."

"B-But Miss Pepper..."

"Kate, you don't want to get fired by me on your very first day at the company, do you?"

"N-No."

"That's more like it. Obedient girls are good girls."

Leon patted Sharon Kate's cheek, then pushed the door open and left. "Leave the company's affairs to you. I believe you can handle it."

"Phew~"

Once Leon left the office, Sharon Kate immediately felt as if she had been granted a reprieve. Heaven knew how much pressure she had been under just now.

Leon Stark seemed to know her weak spot. One simple sentence had made her completely afraid to resist.

Biting her lip, Sharon Kate braced herself against the wall and stood up.

She discovered that her stockings had been torn against the floor earlier. Since no one was around, she took off her high heels, placed her stockinged feet on the ground, and grasped the hem of her bodycon dress with both hands, intending to remove the damaged stockings.

However.

Bang!

The executive director's office door, which had not been locked, was suddenly opened from outside.

"Oh, right!"

"I think you look great dressed like that. Dress this way in the office from now on. You don't need to imitate Pepper and wear an office uniform all day. I'm sick of looking at those."

"Uh..."

Nothing was more terrifying than sudden silence.

When Leon saw the scene in the office clearly, he froze for a moment and immediately shut the door. But after thinking it over outside, he still somewhat hesitantly opened it again and reminded Kate:

"Darling~"

"Don't relieve yourself on the office floor."

"If you're really in a hurry, the restroom is right next door. Just take a few steps."

"!!!!!"

"I'm not! I didn't! You misunderstood..."

Leon's misunderstanding made Sharon Kate so embarrassed and furious that her brain crashed for a moment.

By the time she threw out her threefold denial, Leon had already shut the door again and left, not understanding but choosing to respect her.

Unable to clear up the misunderstanding on the spot, Sharon Kate felt like crying without tears.
