"Hmm."
Ivor responded indifferently, intending to leave, but stopped as if recalling something. He turned back to Collin and asked, "By the way, I almost forgot to ask, did you see your boss during this mission? How is he? Did the mission go smoothly?"
Ivor wouldn’t usually ask, but he felt it was necessary as a partner of the Nidhogg Organization.
"Mr. Boyd..."
Collin paused mid-sentence, unsure of how to continue. He scratched the back of his head forcefully.
"I guess it went okay."
"Okay?" Ivor sensed something off. "What do you mean?"
Collin hesitated, unsure whether to disclose Bonnie’s situation to Ivor. Seeing Ivor still waiting for an answer, his expression filled with difficulty.
Ivor noticed Collin’s troubled look. He didn’t press further and stepped back.
"If it’s inconvenient to answer, never mind. We'll head back."
It didn’t matter if Collin didn’t want to answer. Yasmine had been with them and should know the situation. He could ask her later.
"Alright..."
As soon as Collin responded, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"
