Bonnie was speechless as she didn’t know what to say when someone misinterpreted her intentions so drastically.
Ivor's expression turned serious as he addressed Yasmine, "I don't want to repeat myself so many times. Come over here."
Though his tone was calm, the seriousness in his voice made Yasmine feel intimidated. She whispered to Bonnie, "Um, my boss is about to get mad. I need to go to him for now."
She said "for now," implying that she still intended to return to her savior as soon as possible.
Understanding the implication, Bonnie's mouth twitched slightly. She waved and said, "Alright, you all go back. I need to rest."
"Huh?" Yasmine's face immediately fell. "Why are you sending us back so soon?"
Bonnie rubbed her temples and explained, "Tomorrow, I must go deep into Billy’s organization. I need adequate rest and preparation. It's getting late, and if this continues, I won't have enough time."
She finally understood why Ivor always looked so exasperated when dealing with Yasmine. Sometimes, she found herself at a loss with Yasmine as well.
She couldn't bring herself to scold Yasmine because of her sweet face. But not scolding her? Yasmine would pout and act cute non-stop... It was really tough.
Yasmine thought it over. "Okay, rest well and prepare to infiltrate Billy’s organization tomorrow."
