I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1124

The commotion at the door made Ivor stiffen.

‘What the hell is Yasmine doing?! I don’t know if Bonnie heard her. How will I explain myself if she did?’

Bonnie looked at her husband suspiciously, asking, “Who is that at your door? Why are they calling you that?”

Although the voice was faint, she could vaguely hear a woman repeatedly calling Ivor “boss.” Typically, people would address him as Mr. Ivor when he was at work.

Bonnie could not help but wonder why the woman called him boss instead. The former believed her husband was on a business trip in the neighboring country, but the woman’s manner of address made her suspicious.

Bonnie began to think Ivor might not be in the neighboring country but somewhere else.

Ivor quickly composed himself and responded calmly, “Oh, she’s an intern. She has always called me that. I’ve corrected her several times, but she just can’t seem to change. I gave up and let her call me that.”

Bonnie squinted at him probingly. “Is that so?”

Her distrustful tone made Ivor panic. Still, he kept a calm exterior. “Are you jealous? Should I let her in to talk to you?”

He gambled by saying that, hoping Bonnie would not be petty and make a fuss. He also hoped she would not demand a conversation with the woman just because she heard the latter’s voice.

Sure enough, Bonnie waved and said, “No, that’s okay. I don’t need to talk to a person I don’t know. I believe you.”

Ivor sighed in relief and smiled, saying, “You can talk to her if you want. I’m fine with it.”

His carefree attitude gradually dispelled Bonnie’s suspicions. She said, “No, it’s okay. It’ll be awkward to talk to her so suddenly.”

Then, she thought of something and said, “Hey, you’ve been away for so long, yet I don’t even know what your work environment looks like. Can you show me around?”

Ivor was stunned as he covertly glanced around the room. He was in a temporary office, and his desk was cluttered with files.

Although he did not mind Bonnie seeing them, the room’s decor was distinctly foreign. If Bonnie noticed them, she would quickly realize he was somewhere else.

Ivor went silent and pondered how to respond. It was ironic—he had suspected his wife of hiding something before, but it seemed the tables had turned.
