I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1000

Bonnie glanced at the hotel, which wasn’t far from her, and said to Ivor, “If you really want to have a video call with me, then you’ll have to wait for another 30 minutes. Let me finish up my shower and wipe my hair dry. Then, I’ll give you a call.”

‘After all, the backdrop in my villa is very similar to the one in the hotel. I’ll stand in front of a white wall and have a video call with him there. He won’t be able to tell the difference.”

Ivor was so happy chatting with her that he had all but forgotten he was at Yale. He was about to agree to it.

Fortunately, Floyd stopped him and said, “Don’t agree to it, Mr. Ivor. We’re at Yale now. What if she finds out about it?”

‘He’s right. I’m at Yale, but I told Bonnie I’m on a work trip to one of the neighboring countries. The views at Yale are a far cry from wherever she thinks I am now.

‘If I actually answer her video call, being the intelligent lady she is, she’ll figure it out in no time.

‘Now that I think about it, I should be grateful that she didn’t answer my video call. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to talk my way out of it.’

Meanwhile, Bonnie asked, “Ivor? Are you still here? Is the internet lagging?”

He snapped out of his thoughts, composed himself, and pretended to sound hesitant when he spoke. “Aw, geez. I have an important meeting in 30 minutes. I’m afraid I won’t be able to answer your video call.”

“It’s fine, then. Go ahead and do what you have to do. You can give me a video call when you find the time,” dhe said.

She recalled how she was still at Yale and decided to divert the topic.

“You know… I’ve got a new research project at my institute and I have to finish it in a fairly short amount of time. So, I might not be able to take your calls immediately.”
