I Love You, Miss Genius

'The last thing I want is for Billy to catch me lying. It would be a mess if he didn't let go of a single inconsistency.'

...

Billy put down his chess piece and looked over. He frowned seeing Francesco return alone.

"Why did you come back all by yourself? Didn't I ask you to get Barrett? Where's he?"

Francesco explained hastily, "Barrett said that he had just woken up and was feeling tired. He was covered in sweat from his nap. So, he said he'll be here after he's taken a shower." Billy nodded. "I guess we'll wait for him, then."

"That's what I told him, too," Francesco responded.

All of a sudden, something popped into his mind and he asked, "Are you sure you're going to have the hidden camera in his room removed? Aren't you going to observe him for a little longer?"

"There's no need to monitor him anymore. The dinner later will be his final test. If he passes it, then I'm going to start using his skills as my own. If the opposite proves to be true, then I'll deal with him right there!"

The only reason he asked Bonnie here was so his men would remove the hidden camera while she wasn't in the room.

"Frankly speaking, I find him quite honest. I have every faith that he'll pass my test! I wanted the hidden camera removed because I did not want him to find out we had installed it in the first place.

"After all, you don't employ someone

you don't trust. Conversely, you don't suspect the people you've hired 1 don'twant him to mistrust me before I even get to use his skills."

Francesco gave him a thumbs up. "You've thought of everything, Mr. Billy! How intelligent!"

Billy snorted. "That's enough with the ass-kissing. Did you arrange for our henchmen to remove the camera from his room?"

"You can count on me, Mr. Billy. I've

made ample arrangements. I promise you that the hidden camera in Barrett's room will be removed." Francesco patted his chest confidently.

Billy nodded, satisfied. "Hmm. Well done. You may stand down now. I'm going to wait for Barrett by myself."

"Roger, Mr. Billy." Francesco nodded respectfully before exiting the room.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

He reached the door and saw Bonnie, who was walking over from the hallway. He greeted her in a friendly manner.

"That was a quick bath, Barrett. Mr. Billy is waiting for you in there. Hurry up and head inside."

She nodded and responded, "Got it."

Billy heard her approaching and turned around. He said with a smile, "I've been into chess lately. Come over and play with me."

"Sure thing, Billy." She smiled and sat

across from him. "I'm up for some matches, but I'm not particularly good at chess. So, you'll have to bear with me."
