I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1219

After finishing his conversation with the subordinate, Billy proceeded according to their plan and served Bonnie food.

"Barrett, you look too skinny. You need to eat more to keep up your strength. Otherwise, I’d worry you couldn’t handle any tough tasks I might assign you."

"Thank you, Mr. Billy." Bonnie noticed that Billy was using a serving fork that he hadn’t used before. Feeling reassured, she picked up the piece of pork rib Billy had placed in her bowl and began eating it. As she ate, she savored the flavor and smiled.

"These ribs taste great. They remind me of the flavors back home in Arvandor."

"I'm glad you like it. This chef was found here at Yale, and I was worried the food wouldn’t be authentic. Seeing you enjoy it so much puts my mind at ease," Billy thought.

He knew this plate of ribs contained the highest dose of hallucinogens. Once Bonnie ate a few more pieces, the drug would take effect, and he could call in the hypnotist to put her under.

With this plan in mind, Billy served Bonnie a few more ribs. "If you like it, have some more. I can arrange for this chef to cook for you regularly. That way, you can enjoy authentic Arvandish food even here at Yale."

Bonnie quickly saw through Billy's intentions and hid a mocking smile. She pretended to be touched and said, "Mr. Billy, you’re too kind to me. I don’t know how I could ever repay you."

Billy squinted his eyes with a smile and replied, "As I said, just stay by my side and work for me diligently. That’s the best way to repay me. Don’t worry about anything else. I won’t treat you poorly if you work well for me."

He eagerly awaited Bonnie's reaction to the drug, ready to bring in the hypnotist to see if she posed any threat. Through their recent interactions, he had grown to trust Barrett, but caution was paramount, and this hypnosis was necessary to be entirely sure.

"Yes, Mr. Billy. I will do my best to assist you, ensuring you have no worries," Bonnie responded earnestly, patting her chest as a gesture of sincerity.

"Good, good. I trust you. Now, eat up before the food gets cold," Billy urged, appearing concerned but eager for Bonnie to consume the drugged food quickly so he could proceed with the hypnosis.

"Yes, Mr. Billy," Bonnie replied, eating the ribs in her bowl. She was well-versed in hallucinogenic drugs and knew the necessary dosage to appear affected.

According to Billy's conversation with his subordinate, this plate of ribs contained the highest concentration of the drug, which explained Billy’s insistence on serving them to her.

After eating five or six pieces, Bonnie decided it was time to fake the effects of the drug.

"Eh? What’s happening?" she exclaimed, feigning confusion.

Upon seeing Bonnie's reaction, Billy’s eyes lit up with excitement, though he masked it with a concerned expression. "Barrett, are you okay? What’s wrong?"
