I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1337

Billy paused in his speech and approached a specific direction behind him. "Mark!"

A muscular, robust man emerged from the shadows and bowed respectfully before Billy. "Mr. Billy, what are your orders?"

Billy tilted his chin, signaling Mark to look at Bonnie. "Go with Barrett for his walk and ensure his safety."

Though he said it was for protection, it was evident that it was more about surveillance.

Falcon quickly spoke up for Bonnie. "Mr. Billy, Barrett has risked his life to save us before. How can you still not trust him? Having someone follow him while he takes a walk will only add to his stress, not relieve it."

Billy turned a cold gaze towards Falcon. "Are you questioning my decision?"

Falcon realized he might have overstepped. He laughed nervously and tried to think of a way to mend the situation.

‘Though I wanted to help Barrett, offending Billy would be too costly. But what can I say to fix this?’

As Falcon struggled for a solution, Bonnie's voice suddenly broke the silence. "Falcon, it's alright. Mr. Billy is just looking out for my safety. I don't mind."

She smiled at Billy. "Mr. Billy, it's fine if he accompanies me."

Upon seeing Bonnie's compliance, Billy nodded in satisfaction. "You’re sensible and understand I’m doing this for your sake."

He signaled to Mark. "Make sure to protect Barrett well. Nothing must happen to him."

Mark, grasping the underlying message, nodded solemnly. "Yes, Mr. Billy, I will ensure Mr. Barrett's safety."

"Good!" Billy waved them off. "Go on, and come back soon after your walk."

"Thank you, Mr. Billy." Bonnie thanked him and left with Mark.

After they departed, Falcon watched their retreating figures and then turned to Billy, frowning. "Mr. Billy, if I remember correctly, Mark is one of the top martial artists in our organization. Isn't it overkill to send him to protect Barrett?"

"Why would it be overkill?" Billy glanced at Falcon. "The Nidhogg Organization is still searching for us. They could come after us at any time. They know Barrett is with us. What if they capture him and force him to reveal our location and the chip's whereabouts?"

Falcon thought momentarily before responding with conviction, "Mr. Billy, I believe in Barrett’s integrity. Even if he were captured, he would withstand any pressure and never betray our location or the chip’s whereabouts. Aren’t you creating unnecessary friction between us by doubting him?"
