"Got it. Thanks for your concern, honey. You always know how to care for me." Ivor gently held Bonnie's hand, looking at her tenderly.
Bonnie's heart thumped hard in her chest. She turned her head strangely, and her cheeks began to flush.
"You always say the same thing every day. Are you trying to be cheesy?"
"Not cheesy at all," Ivor shrugged. "Isn't this how you should treat someone you love?"
Bonnie slowly withdrew her hand from his.
"You better eat quickly. Finish your meal so you can handle your work. Otherwise, your phone will be ringing off the hook later."
"At your command." Ivor chuckled and made a salute gesture, obediently lowering his head to eat.
Bonnie shook her head, feeling there was no way to deal with this man.
After dinner, Ivor went to the study to deal with documents while Bonnie watched TV in the living room.
Floyd, carrying a stack of papers, was standing outside the door when he suddenly called out excitedly. "Ms. Bonnie!"
Bonnie was startled by him, almost dropping the apple in her hand.
After calming her thoughts for a moment, she put the apple in the basket and glanced at Floyd.
"What's the fuss at this late hour?"
Floyd trotted over, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at Bonnie.
