I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1256

“You look a little…” Falcon dragged his words as he observed “Bonnie’s” expression. He was waiting for her reaction to determine whether or not something was amiss.

Of course, Bonnie saw through him. She grinned playfully and got closer to him. “What’s wrong? Do you have a problem with how I look?”

Falcon was shocked when she moved closer. He backed off and stammered, “Wh-whoa, you’re a little too close there, buddy.”

Bonnie turned sideways and said in puzzlement, “I thought you wanted to say something about my face. I thought you couldn’t see clearly, so I leaned closer to ensure you could get a better look.”

Falcon did not expect her to be so straightforward. He said embarrassedly, “I was just joking. I wanted to see how you’d react and didn’t think you’d take it so seriously.”

He was trying to figure her out and could not afford to show his intentions. Moreover, he could not cross the line until he had a definitive answer. The last thing he wanted was to piss Bonnie off and make her leave Billy’s organization. If that happened, Billy would unleash his wrath on Falcon.

“Oh, that’s why.” Bonnie pretended to accept his explanation. “I thought you found something wrong with my face and wanted a better look.”

“N-Not exactly.” Falcon rubbed his nose guiltily. “It was just a light-hearted joke.”

Bonnie sipped her tea and responded dryly, “Oh, gotcha.”

Meanwhile, Falcon kept observing everything Bonnie did, including her expression.

‘Barrett looks so calm. I can’t find a flaw even if I tried. Still, that’s where the real problem lies. According to Billy’s explanation about Barrett’s background, it’s unlikely the latter can remain so calm when he’s in the heart of this organization.’

That was Falcon’s speculation and not a definitive answer. He knew he had to do more probing to find out if “Bonnie” was a spy.

She noticed his curious gaze and looked at him. She felt her cheek and asked, “Why do you keep looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”

“Th-that’s not it,” Falcon responded, “You’re so handsome that I can’t stop looking at you.”

Bonnie became wide-eyed as she said playfully, “I’m sorry, but I don’t swing that way.”

Falcon was shocked. When he returned to his senses, he said grimly, “If you don’t like men, it’s crazy to think I do! Don’t twist my words!”
