I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1273

Billy did not show his emotions, but Falcon reacted dramatically. The latter patted his chest, looking shocked as he exclaimed, “Why the hell are you so quiet?! You scared the shit out of me!”

Bonnie chuckled and calmly responded, “What do you mean? You must’ve been so focused in your conversation that you didn’t hear me coming.”

Falcon felt a little guilty when he recalled his conversation with Billy. “I-I guess so.”

Meanwhile, Billy looked at “Bonnie” coldly. “Where’d you go earlier? How did you know where to find us?”

“I was walking around in the backyard,” she responded casually, “That’s when I saw you guys through the window behind you.”

She pointed at the window as she spoke, causing Billy to turn around. Indeed, he could see the backyard. Then, he looked at Bonnie and noticed how calm she was. She did not look like she was lying.

‘I thought Barrett knew we were watching him from here. However, it looks like he saw us through the window instead. I must’ve overthought it. Perhaps Barrett isn’t a spy, after all.’

Bonnie feigned surprise as she looked at Falcon, saying, “Didn’t you say you needed to rest, Falcon? I thought the others helped you back to your room, but you’re here with Mr. Billy instead. Hey, were you pretending to be drunk?”

Falcon looked embarrassed, not expecting her to expose him so straightforwardly. Since that was the case, he had to think of an excuse. After some thought, he said, “The others are heavy drinkers, and I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to fake being drunk to get away from them.

“Then, I left my room for some fresh air and ran into Billy. So, I stayed and chatted with him. It helped to sober me up, too.”

Although they tried to figure out “Bonnie,” they could not reveal their intentions. The last thing Falcon wanted was to have a fallout with Billy and lose everything.

“Oh, that’s how it is.” Bonnie knew what was happening but said nothing about it. Instead, she nodded, saying, “That explains why you were chatting with Mr. Billy. You were pretending to be drunk, huh?”

Falcon chuckled dryly. “Y-Yeah.”

Meanwhile, Billy observed Bonnie’s expression. She looked so calm that he did not know if she was acting or was genuinely clueless about their intentions.

Bonnie’s heart pounded when she met Billy’s solemn gaze. She asked, “Mr. Billy, why are you looking at me like that? Are you still suspicious of me? You must be trying to determine if I have an ulterior motive for joining your organization.”

Billy did not expect her to be that straightforward. He asked, “Why would you ask me that?”

Bonnie glanced at him, then turned to Falcon. “Do you think I’m a fool, Mr. Billy?”
