I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1083

“Trust me when I say I’m being pretty conservative when I comment on you and Ivor. You guys are so corny, even if you’re this far away from each other. I can’t imagine how inhumane it will be for us single fellows when you guys are standing next to each other.”

Bonnie scoffed in response. “If you find it so inhumane, you could always find yourself a girlfriend and give us a taste of our own medicine.”

Collin shook his head vigorously. “Forget it. The wise never commits himself to a relationship. I think I’d rather stay away from any romantic partner.”

She couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. “Is that a swipe at me? Are you insinuating that I became a fool as soon as I fell in love with Ivor?”

“Not at all. When have I said anything like that?” He met her sarcastic gaze and explained hastily,

“What I’m trying to say is that only highly intelligent people like you and Ivor have the right to be in a romantic relationship. It’s a hard pass for me, though.

“I’m not smart, to begin with. Committing myself to a relationship is just going to take away my mental energy and dumb me down so much that I can’t execute my missions.”

He was so over the top that it made her laugh.

“Fine. I’m not going to argue anymore. Go on and keep an eye on District Nine. I want you to let me know as soon as you have news about Falcon. I’m going to go over myself.”

Collin’s expression grew stern at the mention of Falcon.

“Alright, chief. I’m on it.”

Waving her hand, she said, “Okay. Do it now. Meanwhile, I’m going to grab some shut-eye.”

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Bonnie was having dinner at the restaurant when Collin came in and ate with her. He was also here with some big news.

“From what I’ve gathered, the leader of the organizations in District Nine is going to have some kind of party in the underground market. Falcon is such an important figure to them. It stands to reason that they’d bring him along to have some fun.”

He paused a little before continuing, “It just so happens that we have connections to the underground market. Should I get our names on the list so we could sneak in and have fun ourselves?”
