I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1198

Francesco was stunned. He hadn't the foggiest clue about what was happening.

'Billy should've angrily summoned Bonnie and given her hell for acting so arrogantly. So, why is he not upset at all?'

Scratching the back of his head, Francesco asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at, Mr. Billy? A-Aren't you supposed to be angry?"

"Angry?" Billy wiped the smile off his face and looked at Francesco. "Why should I be angry?"

"Well…" Francesco monitored his leader's expression carefully. He hesitated for a brief moment before saying, "Didn't Barrett start acting cockily not long after he's got your stamp of approval? I-If you don't teach him a lesson now, he'll continue to do and say whatever he wants—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Billy cut him off.

"Why are you saying that he's acting cockily? Is this because he spoke rudely to you? Are you jealous of Barrett because I like him?"

Francesco saw his leader's menacing expression and felt sweat drenching the back of his body. He was stuttering when he spoke again.

"T-That's not what I mean, Mr. Billy. I-I'm just worried that Barrett might dismiss your authority in the future."

Billy snorted coldly. "Do you think I'm a fool? What makes you think this is something you need to worry about?"

Francesco had no idea what he said wrong, but he could sense that Barrett was Billy's favorite. So, he didn't dare to say more on the subject. Instead, he hung his head.

Billy saw it and knitted his brows tightly.

"Raise your freaking head!"
