“Don’t just do it quickly, arrange it right now, or it’ll be too late by tomorrow,” Ivor said with a hint of urgency, revealing how much he wanted to see Bonnie.
Floyd also nodded slightly, “Understood, Mr. Ivor. I’ll handle it immediately.”
Meanwhile, Bonnie was sitting cross-legged on her bed, discussing with Collin which organizations in Yale might have rescued Falcon.
Collin said while resting his chin on his hand, “First, we need to rule out the smaller organizations. Even if they saw the huge profits in the chip, they wouldn’t dare to make a move. Next, we need to consider the larger organizations.”
Bonnie furrowed her brows and began to ponder. “There are indeed quite a few large organizations in Yale. I can’t figure out who it could be off the top of my head.”
“Ms. Bonnie, it’s understandable that you can’t remember. You haven’t managed the organization in a long time,” Collin thought for a moment and quickly came up with an idea. “How about I draft a list of potential organizations for you to analyze?”
“That works. We won’t get anywhere just guessing,” Bonnie said as she lazily leaned back against the bed. “Tracking Falcon is proving to be trickier than I thought. It looks like we won’t be able to go home anytime soon.”
Collin smirked teasingly upon hearing this. “Ms. Bonnie, are you missing Mr. Ivor? Is that why you seem so wistful?”
Bonnie rolled her eyes at him. “Wistful? Where did you get that?”
As she spoke, the image of Ivor’s handsome face flashed through her mind. She sighed slowly. “But honestly, it’s the first time I’ve been away from him for so long. I do miss him a bit. It’s kind of hard to get used to.”
“Long? It hasn’t been that long,” Collin calculated. “We’ve been out of Pyralis for less than a week. How is that long?”
He exaggeratedly rubbed his arms, pretending to be grossed out. “Is this how you married folks are? So clingy?”
“How is that clingy? It’s a normal reaction,” Bonnie said, taking the opportunity to tease Collin. “Oh, I forgot. You’re single. Single people like you wouldn’t understand our feelings.”
Collin was speechless for a full ten seconds before he found his voice again. “Boss, you guys can be all lovey-dovey. I didn’t say anything. Why the personal attack? That’s really hurtful, you know?”
“Really? I didn’t see you looking hurt,” Bonnie retorted, continuing to tease him. Then, as if struck by a thought, she frowned. “But seriously, in the past few days, Ivor has only called me once. Could he be dealing with some difficult issue?”
Usually, Ivor would call her at least three times a day and send dozens of messages when he was on a business trip. But in the past few days, there hadn’t even been a single message, let alone a video call. This was very unusual.
Collin joked, “Could Mr. Ivor have found a new lover? Is that why he doesn’t have time for you?”
