I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172

“You don’t have faith in me. Do you? Just wait. You’ll see.”

Since Bonnie was not going to tell tvor everything, he decided not to pry for more information.

“Can you clean yourself up? Your getup upsets me.” He knew it was all fake, but he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken at the sight of it.

“Sure. I’ll hop in the shower now.”

Ivor waited until she got into the bathroom before looking at Jim, who was about to leave. The former addressed Jim and asked, “Hey, why do you seem to care about her very much?”

Jim calmly responded, “It’s my job to keep her safe. I believe caring about her is part of my job.”

“You say that, but it looks like she means so much more to you. Did you two know each other before you started working here?” Ivor stared at him. The wisdom in his eyes was unmistakable.

“Nope.”

“Really?”

“I solemnly swear that I, Tim Reid, have never known Ms. Bonnie in my life until I got this job! May God punish me most severely if I lied through my teeth.”

‘I’m not Tim Reid, anyway. That alias didn’t know Bonnie before getting this job. Technically, I’m not

lying.‘

Staring at Jim, Ivor said after a brief moment, “Dismissed.”

“Roger, Mr. Ivor.” Jim turned and left. He sighed in relief when he turned to leave, wondering if he had managed to trick Ivor. However, Jim couldn’t shake the feeling that Ivor didn’t wholly buy his story. Still, Ivor would not have let Jim leave if he was suspicious.

Bonnie was taking a shower in the bathroom. So, she didn’t know about what happened between Ivor and Jim. Thirty minutes had come and gone by the time she finished showering.
