I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1177

She thought to herself, 'I believed I'd just infiltrate Billy's organization and walk out with the chip. To avoid putting myself at risk, I had decided to leave my phone behind.

'I didn't count on this whole thing dragging out this long. To make matters worse, Ivor gave me a call on the first day of my operation. Even I get terrible headaches when everything comes up at once.'

"Roger, chief,” Collin answered. He hung up his phone and dialed Toby's number immediately.

Toby had been waiting for Collin's call and quickly answered the phone. "How did it go? Did you manage to contact Ms. Bonita?"

"I did. Relax." Collin tried to comfort him. "The chief says you should tell Ivor that she's in the middle of something right now. She's going to give him a call as soon as she's done with it."

Toby could feel a weight being lifted off his shoulder. "That's great. I'm running out of ideas to deal with Mr. Ivor."

"She's aware that you're under a lot of stress. That's why she decided to talk to him herself. You can stop worrying about it now. The chief has come up with an excellent plan. This way, both of us could relax and stop pulling our hairs out."

"You said it." Toby felt that his shoulder became lighter instantly. 'What a sweet relief.'

"Alright. I'm going to call Mr. Ivor. I wouldn't want to stall too long and let his suspicion grow heavier."

"Okay," Collin responded.

Toby hung up the phone and dialed Ivor's number at once.

Ivor picked up the call almost immediately. "Have you arrived at Bonnie's new research institute?"

"I'm here, Mr. Ivor," he responded in a casual tone. "However, Ms. Bonita's research is at a critical stage right now. So, she can't pull herself out of it for the time being. She wanted me to tell you that she'll give you a call as soon as she's done with it."

"Critical stage, huh…" A light flashed in Ivor’s eyes as he drew out his words, his tone thick with skepticism.

"Exactly. I believe you know how she is, Mr. Ivor. I made it perfectly clear that you're in a hurry to speak with her, but she was adamant about wrapping up her work with her research. She says she didn't want anyone or anything to disrupt her train of thought." Toby faked a sigh.

Ivor decided to believe what Toby said, albeit reluctantly. "Fine, then. Tell her to give me a call after she's done with her work."

Toby let out a heavy sigh of relief. "Understood."

Ivor hung up the phone, still finding it hard to believe Toby's explanation. However, he didn't jump to conclusions.

'I'll just wait for Bonnie to give me a call and draw up a conclusion after that."
