I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1336

Billy's recently softened expression darkened once again. "You want to go for a walk in such a critical situation?"

Bonnie feigned innocence, her eyes wide with confusion. "I just want to take a walk nearby to get some fresh air and relieve my brain from the oxygen deprivation. Is that not allowed?"

Billy's brows knitted tightly as he scrutinized Bonnie. "If it were any other time, I'd agree without hesitation. But right now, you think it's appropriate to go for a walk?"

Bonnie tilted her head in apparent confusion. "What's wrong with that?"

Billy's frown deepened.

Falcon stepped in to mediate, "Mr. Billy, working with network technology is incredibly taxing on the brain. Sometimes, mental exhaustion is worse than physical exhaustion. Barrett just cracked the third password, which took a lot of effort. It's understandable that he needs a break. Let him go."

Falcon continued before Billy could respond, "Moreover, pushing too hard during mental work can backfire. I know you're anxious, and so am I, but we need to consider Barrett's condition and not overburden him."

Seizing the moment, Bonnie clutched her head and feigned dizziness. "Mr. Billy... I really can't take it anymore. My head feels like it's about to explode. If you don't let me get some fresh air, I doubt my symptoms will improve."

She massaged her temples and deliberately let the color drain from her face, appearing as though she were on the verge of collapse. She knew this was the only way to convince Billy to let her out.

Falcon looked genuinely worried and hurried to support her. "Mr. Billy, look at Barrett! He’s in a serious condition. Let him go outside for some fresh air. If he collapses, who will crack the fourth password for us?"

Billy saw the logic in Falcon's words but remained suspicious of Bonnie's timing. He had known Barrett for some time and had never seen him act this way.

‘Should I let Barrett go? What if something happened during the walk? Who would be responsible?’

Sensing Billy's hesitation, Bonnie gestured towards the room with the chip. "Mr. Billy, the chip is safe inside. Even if something happens to me outside, it won't affect the chip. You can rest assured."

The chip was indeed in the room, but it was just a shell. The data and technology had already been transferred to her phone. Even if Billy wanted to take the chip, he couldn't access the information.

Billy glanced towards the chip and reluctantly agreed, "Alright, for the sake of cracking the fourth password, go take a walk and relieve some stress."
