I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 758

“One of my business partners gave me this fine bottle of wine. We wouldn’t have a chance to drink it under normal circumstances, so I thought tonight was a perfect opportunity.”

“Are you sure about that?” Bonnie was skeptical.

“Of course I am. Why would I be plotting anything?” Ivor said matter-of-factly.

Instead of responding, Bonnie snorted lightly. Although she trusted him, she would be lying if she wholeheartedly believed his story. After all, he had tried to fool her one too many times. She had to be vigilant around him.

“Hurry and eat the steak. The texture will change if it gets too cold,” Ivor said as he proceeded to pour more red wine into her glass.

Bonnie silently watched as he did that. Then, she sipped the wine, thinking, ‘It’s strong, but it won’t make me pass out. I guess I’ll wait and see what he plans to do.’

Ivor noticed her deliberate stare and could not help but chuckle. “Why are you staring at me? Do you have something to say?”

She shook her head. “Nuh-uh.”

Ivor glanced sideways at the wine bottle and realized it was already half empty. Then, he looked at her and asked, “Should we finish the wine? Otherwise, it’ll be a waste.”

“Sure, why not?” Bonnie did not find his words suspicious.

‘Since I’m not in a hurry, I’ll wait and see what he has planned.’

“Perfect.” Ivor smiled as he clinked his glass with hers. “Cheers for getting me the collaboration, Bonnie.”

She shook her head. “I’m all right. Still, I almost flipped the freaking table and ruined everything you worked so hard to prepare.”

Ivor laughed and brushed her hair behind her ear. He said, “We’ve already finished eating. It’s okay if the rest fell on the floor. What matters most is that you’re okay.”

“Yeah. I drank too much wine, and now I’m dizzy. It’s hard to control how I move.” Bonnie rubbed her brows but still felt dizzy.

“The wine must’ve been too potent. We’ve also been drinking for a while, and your body simply couldn’t adjust. You should take a break since you’re drunk. I’ll send you back to the room. You can shower and sleep.”

“Okay, thank you.” Bonnie’s dizziness was awful, so she leaned into Ivor’s arms.

He noticed her submissiveness and smiled as he helped her up the stairs.
