I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 1216

Billy valued Barrett, but he knew he couldn't just offer sweet rewards all the time. Occasionally, he needed to knock Barrett down a peg to ensure Barrett understood his position.

Otherwise, as Barrett's network grew, he might risk becoming a threat. Thus, Billy believed in using both kindness and authority to manage effectively.

Upon hearing Billy's words, Bonnie raised her eyebrows, a glint of interest flashing in her eyes.

'So Billy is treating me this way after offering benefits?'

Of course, she didn't see this as a bad thing. It was a sign that Billy truly intended to employ her seriously. Previously, his attitude had been lukewarm, but now he was treating her as a faithful subordinate.

The fact that Billy only decided to seriously consider her after everything she had done showed just how cautious he was more so than she had initially thought.

Bonnie found the situation increasingly intriguing as she pondered it. She enjoyed challenges and believed that, with careful planning, she could break down Billy's guard completely.

With that thought, Bonnie shivered slightly under Billy's gaze as if in fear.

"Mr. Billy, you have been so kind to me! I promise that as long as I work for you, I will never do anything to betray your trust."

Billy was pleased with Bonnie's attitude. The gloominess on his face dissipated and was replaced by a warm smile.

"I know your character well. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you this title. My words were just a reminder, nothing more. Just do your job as usual."

Bonnie's expression softened also, "Thank you, Mr. Billy, I understand."

"Good." Billy's smile remained as he considered putting a hand on Bonnie's shoulder, but remembering her dislike for being touched, he refrained.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"Let's go eat, or the food will get cold."

"Yes, Mr. Billy." Bonnie feigned respect and followed Billy.

Billy felt even more satisfied after catching Bonnie's attitude from the corner of his eye. 'Barrett is genuinely a talent worth nurturing! Whatever he does, whatever he showcases, always surprises me while aligning perfectly with my intentions.

'Such a person was invaluable, and I am determined to utilize him fully. Perhaps Barrett might even become my successor one day!'

As he pondered this, Billy walked to the dining table. Looking at the sumptuous spread before him, he smiled at Bonnie.

"Barrett, you're from Arvandor and have a sick mother back home. You must miss your homeland. Considering your homesickness, I had an Arvandish chef prepare this meal for you. Do you find these dishes familiar?"

Bonnie looked at the dishes on the table. The entire table was filled with classic Arvandish cuisine.
