I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1195

"I know that. You, too. Stay safe and take good care of yourself." Bonnie couldn't quite grasp it, but she was experiencing this sadness out of nowhere.

'If only Ivor is by my side now…'

She knew with perfect clarity that she missed him very much.

'This only means I have to speed things up with Billy and the chip, so I can take a flight back to Pyralis as soon as possible.'

"Alright. I'll keep that in mind." Ivor responded.

All of a sudden, he didn't know what he should say to her. After all, his thoughts couldn't be conveyed through the phone.

Sometimes, a hug speaks more than a thousand words.

Bonnie had no idea what to say to him, either. Both of them fell into silence and didn't utter a single word for a long time.

In the end, she broke the silence. "Um… You have to wrap up your work as fast as you can. I'll be waiting for you here at Pyralis. I'm needed at my research institute now, though. So, I'm going to hang up."

She checked her watch and realized that it was about time for dinner.

Bonnie was aware that Billy had disguised his test as a dinner. However, she still couldn't figure out how he would test her.

She had to make some preparations nonetheless. Otherwise, she just might fall into Billy's traps.

"Are you hanging up so soon?" Ivor sighed heavily.

"Listen to yourself. You're making it sound as if we're not going to meet again! Come on. We're just away from each other for the time being.

'If Bonnie were in her research institute, she would not have abruptly hung up the phone and refused to answer my call.

'The way that she ended the call, it almost felt like she was worried someone would overhear our conversation. What on earth is going on here?'

The longer Ivor thought about it, the gloomier his expression became.

Floyd saw it and couldn't help but comfort his boss, "I think Ms. Bonnie needs to handle some emergency, Mr. Ivor. Let's calm down and wait for a minute."

Ivor's frown grew deeper at what he said. Lowering his inexplicable gaze, he began to contemplate the situation.

"Say… Is it possible that Bonnie isn't in her research institute? Perhaps she's somewhere else?"
