I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1007

“I know you’re concerned about my safety, but we must catch Falcon,” Bonnie added firmly after a brief pause, “I’ve decided to scout the basement myself. Once I’m confident it’s safe, you’ll lead our men in to catch him.”

If the situation permitted, she would even catch Falcon herself. Then, her men would not have to risk their safety. Naturally, she could not tell Collin because she knew he would nag at her.

Collin did not argue once he realized Bonnie was determined. He said, “Watch your back once you’re in there, Chief. Don’t fall for any of Falcon’s traps.”

She waved, saying, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll never put myself in danger.”

Then, she prepared to enter the basement. Suddenly, she heard Ivor’s voice, “I’m coming with you.”

His words stunned everyone. Floyd looked at him in a daze, asking, “Wh-why are you volunteering to do something so dangerous, boss?”

‘It’s getting harder to understand Mr. Ivor’s actions. He’s too enthusiastic toward the Nidhoggs’ leader. If the leader weren’t a man, I’d say Mr. Ivor has a thing for him.’

Ivor looked at his assistant condescendingly. “You do realize he offered to go in alone, right? Why would it be okay for me to stay back while he risks his safety? I should help him now that I’m here. Otherwise, what will the others think of me?”

Still, Floyd failed to understand his boss’s actions. “Will they really think poorly of you if you stayed behind?”

“Did you forget everything I told you?” Ivor looked at Floyd helplessly.

‘Damn, Floyd is getting dumber by the day.’

Floyd began to understand everything when he heard that. “Oh, you’re doing this to build a good rapport with the Nidhoggs’ leader. That’ll make it easier for us to negotiate terms with them later, right?”

“Of course. Why else would I do it?” Ivor whispered, “They offered us a few weeks to study their chip, but I might be able to extend it to a month. I can buy us more time if I become his buddy.”

Floyd finally understood his boss’s intentions. “Excellent job at thinking so far ahead, Mr. Ivor.”

“Remember, there’s always a reason behind all my actions. All you have to do is stay out of it.” After that, he approached Bonnie and asked, “Should we go? Is it okay if I join you?”

When he first offered, she thought he was joking. After hearing him repeat it, she knew he was serious about tagging along.

However, Bonnie did not understand his actions. She raised her brows and asked, “Are you sure you want to come? Falcon’s tough, and I won’t be responsible for you if we get into trouble.”

Ivor raised his chin and said confidently, “Let me assure you you’re free of liability. I don’t consider Falcon a threat, either.”

Bonnie chuckled and said, “Don’t be so sure of yourself. Otherwise, you’ll have to eat your words if he outdoes you.”
