I Love You, Miss Genius

"I admire you for more than just your computer skills, Barrett. I'd even say fate brought us together for a reason. Have dinner with me tonight, and we'll indulge in liquor and bright conversations." Bonnie thought, 'Something about this feels fishy, but I can't reject him. After all, it could be one of his tests. I'll have to pass it to get to the chip.'

With that in mind, she agreed smilingly, "Of course! I think we were meant to meet, too. I'd love to chat with you, Mr. Billy."

"That's my man! I love your straightforwardness. I'll tell the chef to make us a great meal. You can trust that I won't let you starve tonight," Billy laughed heartily, "You must be tired. I promise no one will disturb you this time."

"I appreciate that, Mr. Billy," Bonnie thanked him and shut the door before returning to her bed.

In the hallway, Francesco felt impressed, saying, "Mr. Billy, our initial purpose was to see if Barrett was acting suspiciously. However, we allowed him to demonstrate more of his skills instead. That guy's a formidable character."

A slight sparkle appeared in Billy's eyes as he responded, "The more formidable he is, the more critical it is for us to probe him. If we misuse him, he can be dangerous. That said, I have high hopes for him. "Once he passes all my tests, I'll do anything to retain an outstanding talent like him for my organization."

Francesco nodded in approval. "Of course, Mr. Billy. He's a massive stepping stone for you to launch your career to new heights. It only makes sense that you're being extra cautious."

"Mhm," Billy responded dryly, "Let's

Francesco said respectfully, "You can count on me, sir. I'll make sure everything goes according to plan."

"All right, I'll leave it to you," Billy said before returning to his room.

Ivor sat down and called Bonnie, but she did not answer. He tried several more times, but nothing changed. He frowned as he listened to the beeping sound.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

'Why isn't she answering my calls? Is it because she's working on her research, or did something happen to her?'

Then, Floyd entered the room and was shocked to see Ivor's expression. The former asked gingerly, "What's wrong, Mr. Iver? You look terrible. Did something happen back home?"

Ivor did not even look at Floyd. Instead, the former continued to stare at his phone. He had made more than ten calls, but Bonnie did not answer once.

"I've called my wife several times, but she still hasn't answered. I'm worried about her. What if something happened?"

Floyd was stunned. Then, he had an

idea, asking, "You have Toby's number, right? He's the young man who works at Ms. Bonnie's research institute. You can always calDand ask him what's going on."
