Chapter 367
Bonnie stood up and quietly peeked out the door, but nobody was there.
Then, out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the figure again. She dashed to the window, leaped out of it, and subdued the figure by grabbing his arm and twisting it back.
“Ahh! That hurts! You’re going to break my arm!”
Bonnie recognized the voice and loosened her grip. She was confused when she saw that it was Ged. She asked , “What are you doing here?”
“Who did you think it was?! You almost broke my arm, damn it!”
“Hey, you can’t blame me. Why were you acting so shifty in the first place? You could’ve walked through the front gate instead of using the window.”
Ged was exasperated, saying, “You have lvor to thank for that. He’s always so jealous of anyone who gets near you.”
Bonnie had no idea what he was talking about. She asked, “What does this have to do with Ivor?”
“You know how he is, Bonnie. He gets jealous of everything. I just praised you for your looks, talents, and combat skills the other day, and he got pissed off and insisted on fighting me. Hc even said he needed to spar because he hadn’t been working out.”
Ged recalled Ivor kicking his ass. The former’s muscles grew sore at the mere thought of it.
“So what if he did? That has nothing to do with what you told me and that you were sneaking into my place.”
“Fine, I’ll cut to the chase. I recently set up a boxing gym, and we’ ll start recruiting students tomorrow. As you know, people tend to challenge gyms. Still, I don’t know anyone good enough to defend mine.
I came to ask for your help.”
Ged paused momentarily and added, “1 didn’t want Ivor to find out 1 came here because I only want your help, not his. That’s why I was sneaking around.”
‘So that’s what he intended,’ Bonnie thought.
