I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1230

Billy noticed the doubt on Falcon's face and became even more enthusiastic. "What? You don't believe Barrett is as skilled as I say?"

Falcon scratched the back of his head, thinking of how to respond without seeming to doubt Billy's judgment while also affirming his abilities. After a few seconds of silence, he found the right words.

"It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that my network skills aren't bad. Hearing you say that Barrett can beat me with a low-end computer makes me a bit unconvinced."

Billy appreciated Falcon's straightforwardness and laughed heartily. "Haha! Exactly. After all, you were a standout in the Nidhogg Organization. It's normal to feel that way, but I can assure you, Barrett's skills will leave you thoroughly impressed!"

Falcon reflected on Billy's words, his mind deep in thought. This was the second time Billy had made such claims about Barrett, indicating that he genuinely believed in Barrett's abilities. However, Falcon thought that a young newcomer would need years of effort to surpass him.

Falcon didn't voice these thoughts. Instead, he smiled at Billy and said, "Hearing you praise Barrett so highly, I'm looking forward to seeing how he can beat me with a low-end computer!"

"His skills won't disappoint you!" Billy was confident in Barrett's abilities after numerous tests. If he didn't truly believe in Barrett, he wouldn't consider grooming him as the organization's second-in-command.

Falcon's eyes twinkled with interest, but his response remained somewhat calm. "All right. Mr. Billy, I'll be watching closely."

Billy shook his head after noticing Falcon's lack of seriousness about Barrett. He was about to say something when he saw Barrett walking down the hallway.

As Barrett approached, Billy introduced him to Falcon. "Barrett, this is Falcon. He's a crucial part of the mission I'm assigning to you."

Bonnie heard this and glanced at Falcon, a faint smile playing on her lips as she greeted him. "Falcon, nice to meet you. I'm Barrett."

The moment Falcon met Bonnie's eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine. A wave of familiarity washed over him, making him uneasy. ‘He seems so much like... like someone I know…’

Before Falcon could make sense of it, Billy's displeased voice interrupted his thoughts. "Falcon, what are you spacing out for? Barrett is greeting you, and you're not responding? Don't you know how to be polite?"

Snapping back to reality, Falcon quickly apologized. "Sorry, I just remembered something and got distracted."

He walked up to Bonnie and extended his hand for a handshake. "Hello, I'm Falcon."

He scrutinized Bonnie's eyes as he spoke, trying to find a hint of something familiar. Barrett felt strangely familiar to him, yet he couldn't recall ever meeting someone by that name.

Upon seeing the probing look in Falcon's eyes, Bonnie's smile widened slightly. She met his gaze calmly, unbothered by his scrutiny.
