Bonnie was stunned but then giggled and said, “Sure, I’ll take a rain check on that favor. I’ll contact you if I need it.”
“You got it,” Ivor responded smilingly. He had to admit working with the Nidhoggs was pleasant. That was mostly because “Bonnie” was forthright and delivered her promises immediately. She honored their contract, too.
Ivor enjoyed working with such people and hoped they could work together again next time.
“Since we’re done talking, let’s get out of the car. The views here are splendid. We’ll feel much better strolling around.” Bonnie wanted to clear her mind, but since “Ivor” was there, she figured she should invite him for a walk.
Either way, Ivor was not the talkative type, so his presence did not bother her much.
“Sure, Mr. Boyd.” It seemed Ivor had seen through her. He opened the car door first and got out, saying, “I was thinking the same thing.”
“Perfect,” Bonnie responded faintly before exiting the car.
Once outside, they strolled ahead side by side. Meanwhile, Yasmine, who had been waiting for them to finish talking, saw them getting out of the car. She intended to approach “Bonnie” immediately but saw them walking together.
‘I don’t know if it’s just me, but they complement each other. Looking at them together seems surprisingly harmonious. It’s strange to think about it that way, but I felt it.’
Ultimately, Yasmine brushed it off as her imagining things. After all, Ivor and Bonnie commanded respect wherever they went. Yasmine also knew “Bonnie” and “Ivor” were married. She figured they could not be dating, especially since they were “men.”
