Bonnie didn’t like attending such occasions. Just as she was about to reject Leo, he continued.
“I’ve only invited young people from high society to the birthday party. I also sent an invitation to Benedict. I gathered that he wasn’t just interested in fashion designs. He was also fascinated with rifles and armaments.
“That’s why I’m going to have my men prepare some activities for everyone to have their fill of holding a rifle and shooting some targets.”
Leo was prepared before he made this call. She couldn’t help but waiver a little.
“Also, there’s another important reason I’m asking you over.”
“What is it?”
“The International Scientific Research Conference at Motrus is next month. I’m in charge of your safety on that whole trip. I need to discuss and firm up some security matters and deployment issues with you.”
She was startled at what he said. “Are you going to lead the team yourself? Is that even necessary?”
Then, it occurred to her that the SR League received a quest from someone to assassinate her.
“Alright. I’ll be there.”
When she hung up the phone, Ivor asked, “Where are you going?”
“It’s Leo. He wanted to make up for Sienna’s mistake. So, he invited me to her birthday party this weekend. Do you want to come with me?”
His lips curled into a smile. Then, he took her hands and said, “I wouldn’t be interested in it if it’s someone else’s birthday, but you did ask nicely. So, yeah, I’m coming with you.”
‘Uh… Forget it. I’m not bothered to explain it. It’s pointless, anyway.
‘What’s more, I’m not ready to deal with it now. How the heck am I supposed to explain Motrus to him?
‘It’s the International Scientific Research Conference, and I represent Arvandor. That means I have to go. Furthermore, it had always taken between ten and fourteen days.’
She was having a massive headache when Ivor’s brow knitted tightly. He remained quiet for a long time before he said, “After Monday, I’ll have to travel overseas on a work trip next month.”
