Bonnie's heart skipped a beat. "Probably not."
'Well, I have to say that that would be something Ivor would do. So, I can't be sure about it.'
"What are we going to do if he takes a flight back to Pyralis, but you're not there?" Collin was pacing back and forth, anxious on his chief's behalf. "You're behind enemy lines right now. There's no way you could fly back home now!
"No excuses would work if you're not even in Pyralis! Gosh. What are we going to do?" He was so anxious that he was scratching his ears and cheeks.
"Calm down, Collin. I'll think of something." Bonnie rubbed her brow. She was having a headache.
"I-Is there any way around it, though?" He scratched his head, but he couldn't think of any solution to this predicament.
"I'll just tell him the truth if it comes down to it!"
'I kept this a secret from Ivor because this identity of mine is involved with international organizations, with complicated internal structures. So, I didn’t want to drag him into it, thereby putting him in danger. I'll tell him the truth if I really don't have a choice.'
"I don't think it's a good idea to tell him the truth…"
All of a sudden, Collin's eyes widened. He was about to say something, but he saw out of the corner of his eye that Ivor answered the call.
At the next moment, he heard Ivor's charming voice.
"Hey, Bonnie."
