I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1252

“Yes, boss,” Floyd and Yasmine said in unison.

Before leaving, Yasmine spoke into Collin’s phone, “You must stay safe, Mr. Boyd! I’ll be waiting for your return!”

She was genuinely concerned about “Bonnie’s” well-being. The latter chuckled and responded, “I’ll do that.”

When the trio finally left, Collin locked the door and said, “You did leave Vic your number, after all! I thought he was just bluffing.”

Bonnie detected his strange tone. She said, “We work with each other. Of course, I’d exchange contact information with Vic to keep in touch. What’s wrong? Did something happen before I called?”

Collin told her everything the Dark Knights did and how they worsened the situation. Then, he patted his fearfully, saying, “You have no idea how imposing Vic was when he interrogated me. I thought he was about to rip me to shreds.

“Still, I composed myself and protected you, Chief. Although I almost gave in, you called just in time. Otherwise, he would’ve broken me,” he could not help but grumble, “Vic has always been easy to deal with when he talks to you, but not with me.”

Collin might have seemed calm against “Ivor” and could even argue with the latter. However, it was just an act.

“His demeanor was terrifying, Chief.”

Bonnie grinned. “The Dark Knights are formidable, and Vic manages them. Of course, he has to be tough. However, I disagree that he’s easy to deal with around me. At most, he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

“Huh?” Collin scratched his head. “That means he’s disingenuous, right? I thought you two always had a pleasant time chatting.”

Bonnie scoffed, entirely disagreeing with that. “Vic only treats me kindly because of the chip. Why else would he be friendly toward me?”

Collin nodded in agreement. “Exactly! We should lend him the chip, especially since they kept pushing for an update!”

Usually, Collin would never say such things. He could only be honest around Bonnie because he trusted her.

The latter rubbed her brows and said, “We can’t refuse to lend them our chip since we signed a contract. We shouldn’t be dishonorable. Lending it to them for half a month won’t hinder us. It’s good to build a rapport with the Dark Knights. For all we know, we might need their help again.”

Collin agreed, “I guess you’re right, Chief. The Dark Knights is a powerful organization. We’d be fools not to use them to our advantage.”

Bonnie was still worried that the Dark Knights might put her men in a difficult position again. She said, “That’s why you should avoid clashing with them when I’m absent. Tell them to call me if they need anything.”
