I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1275

Since the duo had failed to probe “Bonnie,” Billy considered stopping. Moreover, he never expected her to catch them and call them out on it. With that in mind, Billy tried to say something but did not know where to start.

Bonnie noticed it and faked a helpless sigh. She said, “Naturally, I pity those people and even considered helping them. After all, my parents taught me to be kind. I just couldn’t bear seeing them in so much agony.

“Still, I did nothing to help them. I thought you must’ve caught those guys because they were your enemies. As for me, I decided to be loyal to you when I became a member of your organization. If so, why would I help your enemies?”

Bonnie looked at Billy with disappointment. “I dare say I’ve proven my loyalty to you many times, but you still refuse to trust me.”

The more she spoke, the more disappointed she seemed. “If that’s the case, I no longer need to stay here. Maybe I should leave and find another way to make a living.”

Bonnie turned and walked away.

Immediately after, Falcon lunged forward and stood in her way. “Hey, that wasn’t our intention! Calm down, Barrett. Listen to our explanation, will you?”

Falcon knew how much Billy valued “Bonnie’s” skills. If she left because of the tests, Falcon would be in trouble.

Even so, Billy had to discuss the chip with Falcon first. After all, the latter was the one who stole it from the Nidhoggs and brought it to Billy. Billy feared Falcon would refuse to let Barrett work on the chip before getting a satisfying answer.

Bonnie noticed Billy’s hesitance and feigned confusion. She asked, “What is it?”

Billy collected his thoughts and smiled, saying, “It’s nothing. You don’t need to know about it yet. I’ll tell you when the time is right.”

Bonnie knew he had to consider things first, so she said, “I’ll follow your lead, Mr. Billy. I’ll never forget how you helped me. I want to support you and pull my weight around here. I also hope you can trust me. It feels terrible to want to give my all to someone who doesn’t trust me.”
