“With this official announcement and the fact that one of Pyralis University’s students might get into the Bonita Research Institute, I’m sure our enrollment rate would increase!”
“I said you’re ignorant when you didn’t know about Arjun Research Institute, but I’m tempted to slap myself now. You are above all that. Only the top three research institutes are worth your time and attention!”
Reece’s face turned red with anger when he heard how the others complimented Bonnie.
Adan looked at Reece triumphantly. He was about to make a dig at Reece, but he saw how the latter's face had soured and decided against it. Otherwise, Reece might pass out right away.
Russell’s assistant basked in the glory. Looking at her out of the corner of his eyes, he thought to himself. ‘It’s going to blow their minds if they learn that Bonnie is none other than Ms. Bonita herself. I’ll bet they’ll suck up to her more than they’re doing now.’
At that moment, one of the top management personnel asked, “We’re all curious about something, Ms. Bonnie. What kind of connection do you have with Bonita Research Institute?”
It was lively in the conference room a minute ago. Now, an eerie silence hung over the room as all of them stared at Bonnie again.
Sweeping her eyes across everyone, she responded calmly, “I’d rather not say it.”
Everyone was disappointed by it. However, they knew she must’ve had a reason for not saying it.
“That’ll be all today. If none of you have anything else to discuss, then let’s adjourn the meeting.”
She stood from her chair, and that wrapped up the meeting.
Everyone waited until she left before they filed out of the conference room. Reece kept his head lowered throughout the entire time. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could teleport himself to the other side of the earth.
At that moment, a couple of professors walked by him.
“Here’s a bold assumption. Isn’t Ms. Bonita supposed to be young as well? Moreover, they were both ladies. Do you think Ms. Bonnie may be Ms. Bonita herself?”
His heart quivered. He stared at his fellow professor with widened eyes. His body was as stiff as a board.
