Once Toby was done talking to Ivor on the phone, he told Collin about it. After that, it was up to Collin and Bonnie.
Collin acknowledged it and gave Bonnie a call. "I've got the phone in your safe, chief. Toby has also told Ivor that you'll be calling him when you're less occupied. So, you're free to call him anytime you want. I'll stand by and wait for your orders."
"Alright. We're not in a hurry. We'll have to wait for a while."
Suddenly, someone knocked on her door. It alarmed her immediately. She stared at the door, vigilance flashing in her eyes.
Then, Bonnie hung up the phone and adjusted the hidden camera settings. She pretended to have just woken up when she opened the door.
The moment she saw Francesco, she yawned and pretended to be confused. She asked, "What's the matter? Is it dinner already?"
He flashed her a respectful and flattering smile. "It's not time for dinner yet, but Mr. Billy said he had an urge to play a game of chess. He is requesting your presence."
"Sure thing. I quite like playing chess," she responded with a fake smile. "The thing is, I've just woken up and I'm feeling kind of tired. I'm all sweaty after the nap, too. I'd like to take a shower before I go over. Mr. Billy will have to wait for me for a while."
"Take your time. I'll report it to him." Francesco nodded slightly and left quickly.
She watched as he left and frowned slightly.
'Why would Billy want me to play chess with him? What is he playing at?'
