“Right away, Mr. Billy.” Francesco knew time was of the essence, so he gathered two men and went to “Bonnie’s” room with Billy.
When they arrived, the two henchmen motioned to kick down the door, but Billy hastily stopped them. “What do you think you’re doing? Stop that!”
Francesco scratched his head in puzzlement. “I thought we came to catch Barrett. Why’d you stop them?”
“You imbecile!” Billy glared at him, wishing his men were more competent. “I only suspected Barrett of hacking our security cameras and wanted to come and confirm it. I didn’t tell you to beat him up, did I?
“Barrett is an arrogant young man. What’ll you do if you kick down his door and piss him off? Who will help me crack the chip then?”
After getting scolded, Francesco lowered his head and nodded. “I-I understand, Mr. Billy.”
“Think for once, man!” Billy glared at him again before knocking on Bonnie’s door.
Knock, knock, knock!
If it were anyone else, Billy would have gotten rid of them immediately. However, Bonnie was so talented that he could not help but give her a second chance. After all, he did not want to lose an extraordinary genius like her.
‘I won’t piss Barrett off unless I have concrete proof that he was tempering with my cameras and security system. He’ll be my golden egg unless proven otherwise.’
Meanwhile, a hint of mischief flashed in Bonnie’s eyes when she heard the commotion outside. She muttered, “Tsk, that was fast.”
Then, she yawned and leisurely got out of bed to open the door. She saw Billy and his henchmen standing outside. “Mr. Billy, I thought you told me to rest because you have nothing for me to do yet. I fell asleep just now, not expecting you to be here so soon.”
“Were you sleeping?” Billy frowned.
‘Then, why did I see something else in the security room?’
“Yeah, I was.” She rubbed her eyes and yawned. She feigned ignorance and asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Billy?”
He looked at her up and down, wondering what was weird about the situation. Bonnie noticed his silence and said his name, “Mr. Billy?”
He composed himself and smiled, saying, “It’s nothing important. Francesco had a technical issue he wanted to ask you about.”
“Oh, that’s it?” She smiled mischievously, knowing Billy would ask about that.
